Boiler blowdown is widely accepted as part of the routine running cost of any boilerhouse or plant.
However, a frequent mistake often made, according to Spirax Sarco, is holding on to the belief that fitting an automated valve is unnecessary.
In reality, says the company, it has tangible benefits and can improve thermal efficiency in the boilerhouse.
By automating the blowdown process, engineers can remove the guesswork and avoid too much or too little purging – both of which can prove costly.
Spirax Sarco’s advice is to take a look at the hidden costs of maintaining a traditional process that has (until now) been a key part of boilerhouse safety and performance.
