Boiler Operations
Boiler Operations
(OP)
Hi All
Would want to know the effects of running a boiler below the design temp ie 10 bar guage at 182C INSTEAD OF 189c WHICH IS DESIGNED TEMP

RE: Boiler Operations
Also, have seen some people lower the pressure on a boiler and therefore lower safety valve setting(s). At the lower pressure, they had to increase size of SV or add additional relieving capacity to the boiler.
RE: Boiler Operations
Depending on load conditions, it is common for boilers to operate slightly under design pressure, so 182C operation is feasible. Boilers I have played with have been set to control on pressure anyway, and temperature will follow accordingly.
