Low pressure steam boilers transfer heat at pressures between 10 and 15 psi with a temperature of 300° F (149° C). This type of boiler is used where there is little need for rapid temperature change, where a consistent temperature is required. The popularity of low pressure steam boilers is due to the speed at which they deliver steam; they can do so much faster than high pressure steam boilers.

Wow!! bringing back memories. Fire tube boilers I use to operate & maintain when I lived in NY. For that manhole/gasket to be in that condition Building Engineer not doing their job. That’s routine maintenance task. Nice job/repair like always.

@danwiens9830 6 ай бұрын

I find it easier when you put the manhole cover back on to wire it up to a piece of pipe that is in line with the yolks and over the opening. This way you don’t run the risk of dropping it in the boiler and you can line up the gasket easily

Wow good job. I use to work on Clayton steam generation boilers. They had a operating pressure of 450 pounds. I retired from HVAC 31 years Union. I don’t miss working on steam. Be careful

We had a 150hp fire tube boiler (230 psi) that fed presses and a low pressure heating loop. The main output nozzle sprung a leak midday and roared like a jet engine for hours even with the blowdown wide open. The entire room was engulfed in steam and you couldn’t see your hand in front offyour face. The boss tied a rope around his waist and shinnyed along the floor to reach the main disconnect and threw it. We called a welder in and he spent 4 days laying bead around the nozzle and a generator truck and annealing blankets ran all night to keep the weld soft.

If you would have locked the second boiler's Honeywell RM78XX control on "Prepurge" for the night, the boiler would have been nice and cool on your return. All of the limits and safeties (ie, low water, etc.) need to stay made for this to work.

Man. Grab some baking paper and put a ring underneath the gasket and above the gasket. It'll seal just fine and you'll never seize on there again. If nothing else use some antiseize for the next guy, who could be you

Work Permits Issues and signed onto, Pipe Spades Fitted , Electrical Panels opened Up Fuses Pulled and Isolation Lock signed out and Fitted...Utilities Operator instructed to drain down the Boiler and Vent the Boiler, remember a Leading Hand Millwright friend of mine just got stuck into the job like that during a Annual Shutdown... in the times when Health and safety wasn't taken like it is today, but someone had broken a steam condensate line above him by a a Steam Calorifier above him, next thing a pump started and emptied hot condensate somewhere else on the plant and hot returned condensate water hit him down the back of the Neck...scared for life with third degree burns loads of skin grafts, never worked again... still in constant pain...Be SAFE, careful out there...Great Upload...

@meatwad600 Жыл бұрын

Crazy how careless people can get when working with pressure vessels. That's year's of neglect. 15 lbs of pressure may seem like a small amount but on a vessel that size plus all the piping it adds up. If that man way would haved failed exposing the water to atmospheric pressure the result would be catastrophic. Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion.

As soon as I saw them just dumping the hot water content down the drain I figured there was no water treatment. Or at least not any more 🙂 Also no one is doing internal inspections if those gaskets are like that, imo My two 125hp steam heating boilers have injection quills feeding water treatment and I tear them down every year for cleaning and inspection in the off season. I really don’t like surprises during heating season
