The best ways to maintain and operate a boiler start with maintaining a regular schedule of reviewing reports and checklists to ensure proper equipment operation. Pressure, water temperature, and vent gas temperature reports should be recorded daily so that they can be used as a basic reference for troubleshooting system performance. More detailed checks and checks should be important to provide system performance. Without this, there may be gradual changes in system performance over time that are not clearly visible. Tips for achieving performance efficiency include, for example, daily, weekly, and monthly inspection reports that you can apply to the building. The following maintenance checklist is provided based on the methods used in this article.

As mentioned earlier, any type of waste, such as soot or sediment, that covers the boiler heat transfer surface will reduce efficiency and increase the likelihood of parts and equipment failure. Cleaning of this surface is necessary according to the manufacturer&#;s recommendations for the life of the equipment and to maintain the optimal performance of the boiler. The waste that covers the boiler pipes prevents heat transfer and raises the temperature of the aerator gas. If incomplete combustion occurs, the resulting soot will accumulate in the part of the pipe where combustion has taken place. Similarly, inadequate water treatment in the water sections of the pipes causes sediment to accumulate in these sections. Only a .-inch-thick layer of soot or sediment can reduce heat transfer by up to . percent, and a .-inch-thick layer by percent.

Symptoms of incomplete fuel include smoke, yellow flame, flame extinguishing and soot and blackened boiler pipes. To ensure the optimization of the combustion process, it is better to adjust the engine of the engine room boilers annually. In a boiler that uses natural gas, usually, about % of the extra air is suitable to ensure complete combustion and achieve maximum efficiency, which corresponds to to % of excess oxygen. Activation with more than % excess air is not desirable and may reduce efficiency and further diffusion. Therefore, it is preferable to keep the amount of excess air in the desired range throughout the ignition range. The desired limit can be achieved by using burner controls, which include parallel placement of controls, cross-limiting controls, and oxygen conduction controls. These types of controls are better options than traditional mechanical jackshaft controls. The following is a brief description of the types of burner controls:

Parallel controls use separate motors to regulate fuel flow and airflow, enabling each motor to be tuned throughout the boiler ignition range. During installation, to points are usually drawn to create a curve of airflow corresponding to the fuel flow. The air-fuel ratio can be varied along the ignition range to prepare the optimal ratio in different ignition conditions. Also with the use of electronic dampers, this method of control is very reproducible.

Engine room boilers have capabilities that have made them the main and common part of buildings. Boilers have a long life, and boiler efficiencies can achieve efficiencies of % and above, provide effective methods for heating buildings, and require very little or zero pumping energy in steam systems. But fuel can be significant, and regular maintenance is required by the facility engineer, and if it is delayed, the cost of repairing the engine room can be high.
