Top Ways to Avoid Industrial Boiler Explosion

1. Top Ways to Avoid Industrial Boiler Explosion

2. Understanding the Industrial Boiler System Hot water or steam boiler that uses a certain type of fuel is at the heart of an industrial boiler system. The water inside the boiler is heated or evaporated and then transferred to through pipe networks. Pumps provide the energy for transporting hot water, while inherent pressure is used for transporting steam. The cooled water or condensed steam is returned to the boiler and can be reheated. Industrial hot water boiler systems for generating thermal heat are alike to our basement heating boilers.

3. The key difference is that industrial boilers are much larger, with enough heating capacity to heat not only a family house, but also hotels, hospitals, skyscrapers, industrial buildings, or entire districts. When using processed heat produced by steam boiler systems, individual applications are substantially more adjustable. They're utilized in a variety of industries.

4. Leading Causes for Industrial Hot Water Boiler Explosion According to boiler experts, boiler explosions can be avoided with a proper maintenance schedule. In power plants, there are a few typical problems and reasons for boiler explosions, such as failure of the safety valve and boiler corrosion.

5. Every accident is caused by irresponsible management. We gathered a few industrial boiler safety measures and advice for boiler maintenance employees after conducting a thorough study on boiler explosion events and the causes of boiler explosions.

6. Precautions to Avoid Explosion • Before starting a boiler, hydraulic testing should be performed at a specific pressure. • At the start up of a boiler, make sure the pump inlets are open. • To avoid ash collection in a furnace or other equipment, install an automatic ash removal system in a boiler, such as rotary valves. The accumulation could cause a blockage or overheating of boiler elements, causing the boiler to fail.

7. The pump must be primed before the boiler can start. • Check for any loose or improper connections before starting your industrial hot water boiler and make sure they are rectified.

8. Precaution to be Carried at Regular Intervals • Never operate a boiler above the design pressure, and make sure all safety valves and fusible plugs are working properly. • The perforated line must be cleaned regularly. • To remove dirt particles from boiler feed water and prevent feed line blockage, a stainer must be put before the pump and checked for proper operation.

9. To prevent filth from accumulating in the boiler shell, water must be cleaned before being fed to it. • It is vital to inspect and maintain the boiler, as well as its accessories and valves, regularly to look for potential failures and cracks. • Make sure there are no obstructions in the boiler vents, such as cloth or other materials.

10. Always check for steam, water, air, and flue gas leaks from any suspected location. • Follow the instructions in your boiler's manual to ensure that it operates safely and efficiently. • The panel should regularly be cleaned and kept in a cool, dry location away from your boiler. • Check to see if all of the boiler's hot parts are insulated; if they aren't, don't touch them with your bare hands.

11. Cleaning movable mechanical parts regularly is required. • For the safe operation of motors, do not increase the frequency of a drive above.

12. Precautions that must be taken Occasionally • Clean the boiler tubes regularly to avoid ash buildup or scaling within or outside the tubes. Failure to do so will reduce boiler efficiency and eventually cause tube overheating, resulting in tube leakage issues. • According to fuel feeding, the primary and secondary air ratios must be maintained. • To avoid any thermal dangers, check the backpressure and line pressure of the burner regularly.
