So how will operators know when is the best time to<br /> replace an old boiler?</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">“Typically, customers do not realize when<br /> the boiler needs to be replaced until they have a leak in the vessel or<br /> an inspector tells them the vessel is wearing thin, [which] forces them<br /> to replace the boiler,” says Mike McLean, laundry/drycleaning sales<br /> manager at Fulton Boiler Works. “By then, most customers are at the<br /> mercy of whoever has boilers in stock.”</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">Talk to an expert you<br /> trust, such as a licensed mechanical contractor, especially if you don’t<br /> have a strong mechanical background, Orr advises.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">And while many<br /> boilers will last as long as 40 or 50 years, Josh Reasoner, South<br /> regional sales manager at Hamilton Engineering, says newer technologies<br /> often need more maintenance, and a service tech might be able to help<br /> you plan for upgrades or even replacement.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">Michael Leeming,<br /> national sales manager, Parker Boiler Co., comments that sometimes it’s<br /> more economical to simply re-tube a boiler, where applicable. “If it’s a<br /> fire tube boiler, you can roll new tubes into it. And that could be<br /> 20-25% the cost of a new boiler,” he says.</span> </p> <h3> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">NEW TECHNOLOGIES</span><br /> </h3> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">For<br /> those interested in investing in a new boiler or in related technology,<br /> recent innovations are playing their part in improving boiler<br /> maintenance, safety and ease of operation.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">“What people seem to<br /> want more is to be able to look at the boiler status from<br /> anywhere—either their computer or their phone, and there seems to be<br /> more of a request for that technology at the bigger industrial plants,”<br /> says Leeming.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">Economizers for capturing heat from exhaust gases,<br /> especially in the case of steam boilers, are helping to increase<br /> efficiency, says Reasoner. He adds that monitoring and controls on<br /> modern equipment can help create a more integrated system.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">“Boiler<br /> innovation has mostly been concerned with improving high-efficiency<br /> boilers, or condensing technology,” says Orr. “The other source of<br /> innovation has been on the controls front, by having boilers use<br /> controls that learn to anticipate demand loads and operating<br /> accordingly.”</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">Among recent innovations, McLean lists burners with<br /> low-NOx emissions, timer and conductivity controls for blowdown, and<br /> lead lag controls for multiple boilers.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">Owning and operating a<br /> boiler is a huge responsibility. But since the boiler is a driving force<br /> behind operations, it’s in operators’ best interest to invest the<br /> necessary time and energy for regular maintenance tasks, safety checks<br /> and parts upgrades and replacement.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">“A lot of times, laundries<br /> only have one boiler, and if that’s the case, it’s really critical that<br /> they take care of that boiler, because if that boiler’s down, the whole<br /> plant is down,” Leeming says.</span> </p> </div>The post <a href="https://www.steam-generator.com/boiler-maintenance-protecting-the-heart-of-laundry-linen-operations/">Boiler Maintenance: Protecting the Heart of Laundry/Linen Operations</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.steam-generator.com">Reliable Steam Boiler, Thermal Oil Heater Manufacture</a>.]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Equipment Maintenance System</title> <link>https://www.steam-generator.com/equipment-maintenance-system/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[admin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:43:26 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blogs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Boiler Maintenance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Maintenance]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.steam-generator.com/?p=1131</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>1, strict precautions overhaul of equipment failure should be promptly reported to the competent authorities and to prohibit the use of equipment, are not allowed to open, professional or device manufacturer for repair. 2, the establishment and maintenance of records ray equipment maintenance, and the person responsible for managing the implementation of radiation devices.  3, X-ray machines should be placed in dry and ventilated place, avoid damp place, high pressure, corrosive environments. 4, kept clean to prevent dust, dirt, cause a short circuit and poor contact. 5, during transport shock measures should be taken to avoid rattling. 6, ray machine head often to check for leaks.
