All mechanical equipment dies, but sometimes equipment is retired too soon. Boilers, in particular, tend to be replaced prematurely. Often it is thought to be less costly to replace a nonworking boiler than to troubleshoot and repair it. However, experience has shown that an apparently inoperable boiler can be often revived, at a reasonable cost, and, if operated and maintained properly thereafter, can provide years of reliable service. In this seminar, we discuss reasons why steam boilers fail; which failure modes are reversible; and how to properly commission, as well as operate and maintain, your steam boiler for longevity.
