As any valve testing shop operator knows, boiler reliability is mission-critical for their business’ health. Due to critical client service contracts, if a boiler goes down at any time, the entire operation is at risk. A reliable boiler is paramount in this fast-paced industry, with many clients expecting 24-hour turnaround on critical valves. That’s why many of the requests we receive from our clients are based on maintaining or repairing boilers ahead of an important shutdown assignment or National Board VR certification.

In our experience, most high-pressure boilers fail because of problems with the ratio between fuel and water flow. Small issues like scaling, pump issues, or improper tuning can lead to big problems if left uncorrected. Extended hours of operation under these conditions can cause the boiler to overheat, create poor steam quality, or ultimately shut down or fail. That’s when our clients rely on us to get their boilers up and running again.

The Fuel to Flow Advantage

This experience and insight inspired Thermogenics’ mechanical engineers to equip our boilers with advanced, one-of-a-kind monitoring systems that control the fuel to water ratio into the boiler.

Our advanced monitoring systems precisely control the amount of water released into the boiler’s coils, and carefully matches the boiler’s firing rate to the controlled volume of water. This unique control system delivers a precise and repeatable proportional profile of proper evaporation rates. It also produces high-quality steam.

Constant temperature monitoring of the tube outlets and steam temperature ensure the tubes are not entering a superheated condition.

For valve testing shop boilers, our control systems help minimize or eliminate downtime and service calls. It ensures that mission-critical tasks, like valve testing in a moments notice are achievable.

Boiler Audit

Proper service and maintenance of your boiler will help prevent breakdowns. Complete this Boiler Audit to help determine your next service call:

• Is the equipment producing poor quality or “wet steam”? That may indicate a mismatched fuel/water ratio and could lead to equipment damage.
• Is there a potential issue with scale build-up? If you are using “hard water”, or you aren’t confident about the boiler water’s purity, there may be calcium scaling in your boiler which can cause premature tube failures.
• Has the steam system’s heat up time changed? Is the steam pressure low or slow to build in the accumulators? These may be signs of issues or improper set-up.

If any of these are true, contact us today about scheduling a call or consultation.
