Client currently has a 52kPPh and 26kPPh BW watertube D style, dual fuel (2oil & NG) boilers operating at 125psi. Site steam load being reduced to 20psi with load between 5kPPh and 15kpph peak. Is anyone aware of any concerns to the boilers with operating these boilers at reduced pressure. For example, I herd that reduced pressure results in poor circulation in the tubes causing tube failures. Do the boilers need to be need to be derated?.
