Why do boiler "explosions" occur?
When operating the boiler, it is important not only to make the room warm, but also to ensure safe operation of the equipment!
The explosions in the boiler could be caused by a number of things:
- Poor traction;
- Poor fuel quality;
- The frequency of purge cycles is too low;
- Insufficient heat dissipation - radiators that are twisted or blocked by thermostatic valves;
- The presence of air in the heating system or boiler;
- The boiler is incorrectly selected for the heating area;
- Incorrect setting of the boiler control unit parameters.
During a break in the air supply, the heat temperature in the combustion chamber becomes lower than the ignition temperature of the gases formed during combustion, which leads to an increase in their concentration. When the fan is switched on again, the ignition temperature of these gases quickly exceeds the ignition temperature (usually above300-400 degrees.) and reducing their pressure through explosions.
For the safe operation of the boiler, it is necessary to make the correct selection and installation of equipment, and subsequently operate the equipment in accordance with the Operating Instructions.
