What causes boiler explosion and how to eliminate it?

In today's industrialized context, boilers have become an indispensable component in the manufacturing processes of many industries. However, operational safety remains a top concern, especially the risk of boiler explosions, which can lead to severe consequences. DIVI Group, with its long-standing experience and professionalism in the field of boiler design, manufacturing, and operation, today shares an insightful article on the causes and solutions to eliminate the risk of boiler explosions, contributing to safety and efficiency in industry.

Fundamental Causes of Boiler Explosions
1. Excessive Internal Boiler Pressure Exceeding Safety Limits:

+ Boilers operate on the principle of converting water into steam through heating. The pressure increases when the amount of steam produced exceeds the amount of steam used or released, creating significant pressure on the boiler's structure.

2. Decreased Boiler Endurance:

+ Factors such as physical corrosion, chemical reactions, or unusual temperature increases can reduce the endurance of the materials making up the boiler, posing the risk of explosion when the pressure exceeds the limit.

Effective Preventive Measures
1. Choosing Appropriate Manufacturing Materials:

+ The first crucial factor is the use of specialized materials like A515 heat-resistant steel, A106, A192 steel pipes, ensuring durability and resistance of the boiler under harsh operating conditions.

2. Comprehensive Overpressure Protection Equipment Installation:

+ Equipping sufficient safety valves and overpressure protection relays is not only a technical requirement but also a necessary preventive measure, helping to control and maintain pressure within a safe range.

3. Accurate Water Level Monitoring:

+ Modern water level sensor systems provide precise and timely information about the water status in the boiler, preventing the condition of water shortage - one of the main causes of boiler explosions.

4. Proper Feed Water Treatment:

+ Correctly treating the feed water not only extends the life of the boiler but also minimizes the risk of corrosion, a significant factor in reducing the boiler's endurance.

5. Regular Maintenance and Boiler Blowdown:

+ Performing regular maintenance and blowdown to remove sediment helps protect the boiler from the negative effects of solid deposition, thereby reducing the risk of boiler explosions.
