What is the function of boiler softening water device

Jul 17, 2024

The use of a boiler softening water device can remove calcium and magnesium ions from water, thereby preventing boiler and pipeline scaling. The water filtered by the softening water equipment can be used for heating boilers, reducing sedimentation, ensuring safe operation of the boiler, and extending its service life.

1. Save fuel.

The use of boiler softened water equipment greatly saves a lot of fuel. After the furnace is heated, a thick layer of scale will gradually form. For a boiler with a working pressure of 1.4 MPa, 1 millimeter of scale will form, wasting 8% of the fuel. Not only does it waste fuel, but it also brings pollution to the environment.

2. Improve thermal efficiency.

The boiler softening water device has the function of improving thermal efficiency and reducing water output. Scale is formed on the surface of the steaming pot inside the boiler, and the heat from the furnace side cannot be quickly transferred to the water side, which will reduce the boiler output. If not dealt with in a timely manner, scale will appear in the boiler, which will greatly reduce the steam capacity of the boiler. Due to insufficient gas supply, it cannot operate automatically.

3. Reduce maintenance costs.

The use of soft water equipment can reduce boiler maintenance. After a large amount of scale is generated in the boiler pipeline, it is difficult to remove it. In addition, the scale can cause a series of hazards such as boiler leakage, deformation, and corrosion. Not only does it cause damage to the boiler, but it also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out major repairs, which not only shortens the operating time but also increases maintenance costs.

4. Reduce the incidence of boiler accidents.

Using soft water equipment to reduce safety hazards, boiler accidents caused by scale account for more than 20% of the total number of boiler accidents, not only causing equipment damage, but also threatening personal safety. But the basic construction and operating costs of water treatment account for a quarter of the cost savings. When choosing a softening water equipment, it is essential to adhere to the principles of quality and safety in order to ensure effective performance in the softening water treatment process.
