Thank you wareboilers for taking your time to make this great video... its good to learn other equipment that sometimes we don't have in other boiler rooms..👍🤝
I work in a powerhouse! Our incoming water is a mix of RO mixed with water plant treated water, over to the softener room, were in line sulfite is feed to cut chlorine, out of the softeners through our own RO system, back through the heat recovery tank, up to the DA, down to the boiler feed pumps, we run a closed system so we also have a hot well in the system! We had five coal fired in this building along with two oil burners!
i have found the ductile iron check valves with the SS piston and the bolted top last 1 or 2 years on the boiler feed and then the body rusts up so the ss piston gets stuck
Good evening, how true it is that if the water goes down on the boiler it and the sensors doesn't turn the boiler off, the boiler can explode? other question, can I do the blow down on all the water lines at the same time? it wouldn't make the boiler to explode right?. Thank you
I work at a chemical plant and the boilers are always interesting to me. They have so many subsystems to support them. The one thing I hate is the hourly boiler horn test. This horn can be heard from miles around. It is that loud. Plus, what is a "mud drum"?
The "mud drum" is the smaller water vessel below the Boiler via water tubes & it's where most boilers water debris, otherwise known as "mud" that settle below the boiler vessel in the mud drum. There you'll have your yarway valve, inboard & outboard valves for blow downs to remove that debris or mud by manual blow downs.
I want to say I was operator at plant that had 5 boilers, 120 psi, I learned more here watching him then I did at that plant, it's actually miracle no one died.
The thing i hated the most was doing rhe safety tests that made the boiler shutdown if the safety relief valves didn't work. Standing on a boiler holding the valves shut with a large screw driver was not my idea of a fun time
I saw a company get their boiler locked down due to poor maintenance. As soon as soon as the boiler tech. left they cut the lock off and restarted the boiler endangering everyone around it. Crazy people in charge. The boiler tech said it could have an explosion due to cracked welds inside.
I just got into boiler operations and while there is many different ways we do things, this channel has help me understand my job alot more. Thank you
Great to hear, thanks for reaching out! If you ever have a specific question, let us know. We might make a video about it.

Our pleasure, glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Very nice presentation! Thanks Boiling Point guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thank you! I work in both the plant and the HVAC department at this hospital. I always learn something from your videos:)
That’s awesome. Thank you for watching. Let us know if we can help.

Thank you guys. Please keep putting out great content.
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for sharing this information I’m looking for gas train pipe detail

The bottom drum on a water tube boiler.
The "mud drum" is the smaller water vessel below the Boiler via water tubes & it's where most boilers water debris, otherwise known as "mud" that settle below the boiler vessel in the mud drum. There you'll have your yarway valve, inboard & outboard valves for blow downs to remove that debris or mud by manual blow downs.

Great video. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
No double block and bleed on the fuel feed?
That DA is HUGE! Lol the one for my hospitals steam plant is 1/2 that size
❤ thank you
You're welcome 😊
