Colormetry hardness detector prevent water hardness damage to your boiler with miura s colormetry hardness detection system.
Steam boiler water hardness.
Feed water purity requirements therefore can vary widely.
Feed water boiler water characteristics as per is 10392 1982 1 feed water parameters upto 20 kg cm2 21 kg cm2 to 39 kg cm2 40 kg cm2 to 59 kg cm2 unit total hardness 10 1 0 0 5 ppm as caco 3 ph value 8 5 9 5 8 5 9 5 8 5 9 5 dissolved oxygen.
Total hardness 1 ppm maximum.
The quality of feedwater required is dependent on boiler operating pressure design heat transfer rates and steam use.
Phosphates are used to react with calcium hardness in the boiler water.
Water treatment recommendations vary depending on the operating pressure of the boiler the application steam or hot water and other parameters.
Milk causes violent foaming.
This value will limit the silica content of the steam to 0 25 ppm as a function of selective.
Colloidal substances contamination of boiler water with a colloid in suspension for example.
A boiler water sample has an unneutralised conductivity of 5 000 μs cm at 25 c.
Colloidal particles are less than 0 000 1 mm in diameter and.
Hardness hard water does not foam.
Broken down by feed water and boiler water and then by firetube.
General guidelines to prevent corrosion and scaling in low pressure boilers are as follows.
An increase in temperature results in an increase in electrical conductivity.
It is desirable to keep the concentration of phosphates in the water to 30 50 ppm in order for complete reaction of the phosphates with the calcium hardness entering the.
Feedwater hardness usually ranges from 0 01 to 2 0 ppm but even water of this purity does not provide deposit free operation.
Water hardness levels are typically checked manually through the use of chemical reagents but such measurements are time consuming and can result in incorrect readings.
The concentration of minerals in the water is referred to as the water hardness.
In order for this reaction to take place it is important to maintain a ph at a minimum value of 9 50.
However boiler water is deliberately softened to prevent scale formation and this gives it a propensity to foam.
Another reason that the loss of hot boiler water is serious is because it increases the humidity in the boiler room and will contribute to the malfunction and failure of electrical controls safety devices and other electrical equipment.
Total alkalinity 600 ppm maximum.
A low pressure fire tube boiler can usually tolerate high feed water hardness with proper treatment while virtually all impurities must be removed from water used in some modern high pressure boilers.
Most boiler systems have sodium zeolite softened or demineralized makeup water.
For boiler water the conductivity increases at the rate of approximately 2 of the value at 25 c for every 1 c increase in temperature.
