What is the reason for boiler water shortage
The stoker’s negligence; Failure of water level alarm device and automatic water supply regulator;
The water level gauge’s steam and water connecting pipes are blocked, and false water levels are formed due to leakage of the plug or other reasons; Malfunction of water supply equipment or pipelines, resulting in reduced or interrupted water supply; After boiler discharge, the discharge valve is not closed or tightly closed, or the discharge valve leaks; Boiler water-cooled wall, convection tube bundle, economizer tube or smoke tube explosion releases water vapor. Boiler water shortage should be promptly identified and handled correctly. Improper handling can cause serious accidents.
Water shortage treatment method: (1) If the water level is only lower than the normal water level But it can still be seen that strengthening the water supply and flushing the water level gauge can restore the normal water level. (2) Check the water supply, replenishment and other systems for any damage or leakage issues. In severe cases, the boiler should be shut down for treatment. (3) When the water level cannot be seen after using methods such as “calling water method” and flushing the water level gauge, a serious water shortage accident may occur. The boiler should be shut down immediately, the engine should be shut down quickly, and the cause should be investigated. At this time, the operator should remain clear headed, avoid confusion, and strictly prohibit adding water to the boiler to avoid the possibility of a serious boiler explosion accident caused by rushing to add water after the boiler drum water has dried up.
