  • Page 10: Bottom Blowdown Method

    Bottom Blowdown Method Difference between Complete Bottom Blowdown and Partial Blowdown Two methods are available for removing boiler sludge. To properly evaluate which method to use, the operator needs to consider a number of factors, including water quality, potential increase or decrease in pH, timing of blowdown, hours of operation, and operating requirements.
  • Page 11 Procedure If the steam-pressure gauge indicates 20 to 30 psi, go to step 5. Else, go to step 2. Open the air-vent valve to release the vacuum. Open the feed-water valve and fuel valve. The main steam valve remains closed. Turn ON the operation switch to start feeding water.
  • Page 12 Partial Bottom Blowdown Timing of blowdown Same as Complete bottom blowdown. Procedure Follow the same steps as the complete bottom blowdown when the boiler is started, except: Open the blowdown valve for only 30 seconds. The idea is to lower the water level below the conductivity sensor.
  • Page 13 The purpose of blowdown is to eject boiler sludge from the boiler shell, to control the concentration of boiler water and its pH. When the boiler is shut down or in standby mode, the boiler water has a high pH and low amount of dissolved oxygen.

    1.4 Condition of Air Diffuser (EX Type Only) Procedure Conduct this check when checking the condition of the water tubes. Using a work light or inspection light, ensure that there is no deformation or burning due to overheating. Note) The air diffuser is extremely hot immediately after the combustion. Inspect the air diffuser after it has cooled down enough to be touched with bare hands.
  • Page 19: Tightening The Windbox

    1.5 Tightening the Windbox Procedure Using an offset wrench, tighten the fixing bolts for the windbox diagonally several times so that they are evenly tightened. Evaluation criteria Tighten evenly, as a loose windbox fixing bolt may cause combustion-gas leakage. If combustion-gas leakage occurs, replace the windbox packing when the windbox packing is deformed.
  • Page 20: Inspection For Gas Leakage

    Additional check: Check for gas leakage between the shutoff valves and burner using a gas-leakage detector while firing the boiler. When a detailed investigation is necessary, ask MIURA technicians for the proper procedure. In the event of an abnormality When there is a potential gas leak yet no gas can be collected using the above method.
  • Page 22: Leakage From Joints (Water, Steam)

    1.7 Leakage from Joints (Water, Steam) Procedure Tighten the joints before operating the boiler. TIGHTENING AREAS TOOLS USED Union Pipe wrench, etc. Bolt, nut Spanner, offset wrench, etc. Main stem-valve nut Adjustable wrench, etc. Copper pipe – joint area Spanner, etc. Fire the boiler and check there is no leakage of steam at full-load system pressure.
  • Page 23: Leakage Of Exhaust Gas

    1.8 Leakage of Exhaust Gas Procedure Fire the boiler Visually check for exhaust leakage from the casing, chimney insertion area, chimney elbow, and windbox. Use an inspection light for areas that are hard to see. Evaluation criteria Exhaust leakage is not allowed. If a leakage occurs, the surrounding area becomes discolored due to overheating.
  • Page 24: Inspecting The Safety Valve

    1.9 Inspecting the Safety Valve Procedure Check for leakage from the safety valve Close the main steam valve and increase the steam pressure to the normal pressure used by the customer.
