In our daily life, it is inevitable to conduct water quality tests on drinking water. Then may I ask if the water used in boilers needs to be monitored? This article analyzes whether boiler water needs to be monitored!

It is known that the water used in boilers contains a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions. During the heating process, the water decomposes into calcium carbonate, which accumulates to form scale. In addition, if the water hardness and standards are not met, it will cause scaling on the heating surface, thereby reducing the heat transfer efficiency of the boiler, seriously affecting the service life of the heating tubes, causing bulging and other phenomena, and leading to machine malfunctions and other problems. If the water alkalinity is detected in real time by an online water alkalinity analyzer and non-compliant technical treatment is carried out, it can extend the service life of the instrument. So, it is very necessary to monitor the boiler water!

What are the Requirements for the Water Quality of Boilers?

To prevent the boiler from scaling and corroding, the staff must ensure that the water quality of the steam generator meets the prescribed standards. The water here is mainly purified water and drinking water. Of course, to ensure the normal operation of the instrument, the water quality testing of the boiler is an indispensable step.

From the above content, we understand that total hardness is an important indicator for online detection of boiler water quality. Of course, in addition to hardness, there are other indicators, such as pH value, suspended solids, etc. Of course, the environment has a significant impact on water quality, and the water quality varies in different places. Therefore, it is still necessary to determine based on one’s own situation!
