The impact of water quality on boilers
Thread Content
What are the effects of substandard desalinated water on boilers?
Boilers all require regular drainage, and some boilers also have interconnected systems. Unqualified desalinated water can cause scaling on the furnace tube walls, affecting heat exchange efficiency; in severe cases, it can corrode the boiler and reduce its service life
If the water quality is unsatisfactory, the boiler’s water wall tubes can burst and leak
The conductivity of the water produced by the reverse osmosis process for desalination is high; this water goes directly to the desalination tank without passing through a mixed-bed filter, and from there it goes to the boiler (20T). I’m really worried that the boiler might explode one day.
Unqualified water can cause scaling on the furnace and tube walls, affecting heat exchange efficiency; in severe cases, it can even corrode the boiler
It is mainly the increase in scale buildup that affects the heat transfer capacity!
Poor water quality mainly causes scaling on the boiler body, affecting heat transfer. Typical boilers are equipped with water treatment systems that regularly test the water quality and add substances such as deoxidizers to maintain optimal water conditions in the boiler.
Conduct regular water quality tests and pay close attention to the operation of the boiler at all times
Your boiler has a significant impact; the main issue is that scale buildup prevents heat from being conducted. If the steam is used in a turbine, the impact becomes even greater.
