Now other than buying products, repairs and maintenance is also necessary for long lasting results. Now talking about the power generation industry, boiler tubes, and their efficiency is the driving factor. Even small improvements can result in a drastic change. Other than efficiency, safety should be taken into account. Perhaps it can prevent from unnecessary blowouts and potential accidents from occurring.
Currently, the inspection of a boiler tube or mechanical tube can be performed via several non-destructive methods. With the help of advanced technologies like ultrasonic and electromagnetic, one can receive the remaining thickness of the tube walls and identify problem areas in conjunction with Borescopes for internal inspection and more difficult in reaching places. Here you can even seek help from a professional who has expertise in detecting flaws on either the inner diameter, outer diameter or both.
Apart from regular boiler tube inspections, you can even improve the boiler efficiency by installing an Economizer. Whether there is any insufficient heat transfer in the boiler or anything else, installing an economizer filled with safety valves can avoid over-pressure damage. Moreover, the temperature control of feed water is required to prevent pump airlock.
Next, you can even increase the efficiency of a Mechanical Tube/ boiler tube by reducing its pressure. This is another common way to increase the overall efficiency of a boiler tube.
So this is it, for now, keep an eye on the space to know more about boiler tubes and mechanical tubes.
