    Boiler Pressures

    I find it best not to assume anything and query the matter with the supplier, after all you're not the one who neglected to use the correct units in the literature so you shouldn't feel like you 'should' know the answer. The penalty for not checking will be far greater than the occasional twinge...

    Atmospheric tank with high design temperature

    Vapour pressure of T66 at 349 °C is 12.2 psia. It would be unusual to keep this in a vented tank at 350 °C as the fluid would rapidly oxidise. We manufacture Thermal Fluid (Diathermic Oil) Heaters and design systems and wouldn't let fluid get that hot in a vented tank, we would use a thermal...

    Surface Blowdown Connection

    Please note that boiler surface blow down is used to trim the TDS which regular bottom blow down does not remove. TDS in the make up water to the boiler is the limiting factor and is location i.e. local water quality and condensate return dependent. If you have calculated that the valve you...

    Poor Boiler Feed Water Quality

    We manufacture OTSG 'Steam Generators' and would typically like to see 2000 ppm TDS max in the feed with a 1:10 concentration as it passes through giving 20,000 ppm in the carry over water, you mention 3500 from the resevoir which you then presumably treat in some fashion to end up with 8000...
