  • 6 Common Reasons for Boiler Failures | Today we are taking a quick look at some of the most common reasons for problems within boiler rooms. Boilers are quite safe and very reliable considering certain requirements are consistently met. Daily checks and operations along with meeting all required maintenance intervals will give you a boiler room that not only lasts for decades but operates efficiently and safely.
    Even with today's sophisticated boiler room equipment many of the general practices remain the same.

    I am currently taking classes in boiler maintenance. It's a one week class and I don't think It's a cakewalk.
    One week means it's only an introduction to the basics, from start to preservation.
    Boiler is rated 1000 litres @ 10 bar with economizer. Amazing power and interesting to maintain.

    Thanks for this video ! I work in a facility with multiple steam boilers and steam chamber units and as you said, improper training is definitely a problem here. they did train me how to use the steam chamber units. But they didn’t train me exactly how to do the maintenance on them which is something I would’ve liked to learn before the lady that used to do it left the establishment. Thanks for the video it really helps me understand the reasons behind why I should blow down the steam units at least once a day

      Indeed - We have a very good program to get operators the information they need to operate and maintain their boilers.

    • @powermechanical
      @powermechanical  3 года назад +1

      Mason, Some compressor manuals specifically state to only add oil while in operation. The best thing is to refer to your operator's manual. What type of boiler/burner/Air Compressor are you referring to and we can see if we have any further recommendations.

    Is it feasible to feed a boiler with pre distilled water? Reverse osmosis fed?

    • @powermechanical
      @powermechanical  3 года назад +2

      Aaron, Distilled water is an excellent heating medium for boilers. With distilled water, mineral impurities have been removed and considering there is no further contamination risk in the system. An R/O system is used to purify water, only targets different contaminants. It all really just boils down to what the water going in needs.
      So in answering your question, yes both of those may be used. For example Pre-treated water, (Chemical, softener, R/O) is used as makeup into a DA where it's then sent to the boiler and practically void of any impurities. This is a classic high pressure steam feed application.

    I work at a company with 3 plants 12 Steam boilers in total. I do all the TDS readings, surface blow down, and bottom blow downs, water column blow downs, sight glasses, minor repairs etc. Any recommendation on where to go to apply to get my Steam Boiler Operator License? and does it pay well?

    • @powermechanical
      @powermechanical  3 года назад +1

      You should be able to check with your state or approving jurisdiction for pressure vessels on any certification requirements. Each state in the US has different requirements that may apply. Sounds like you have a working knowledge of the boiler room and should be a great candidate.
      Pay varies by location as well. But all and all boiler operators and stationary engineers have and will continue to be an in-demand occupation.

      ummm a better question would be, how are you legally able to operate/maintain even one of those boilers if you don't have a operators license in the first place? If any accident occurred with an unlicensed operator in the boiler room, the company itself would be liable for letting you in there in the first place.

    is it possible to use seawater from the ocean in a boiler????

    • @powermechanical
      @powermechanical  2 года назад

      Absolutely. Many Large ships still use oil fire boilers for propulsion and heating aboard. They cannot use straight seawater however. Salt water would destroy the boiler itself so it must be treated mechanically (desalination/RO/Membrane) and then chemically treated as needed. Water needs to be made as pure as possible prior to entering the boiler.
