Boiler scale is caused by impurities being precipitated out of the water directly on heat transfer surfaces or by suspended matter in water settling out on the metal and becoming hard and adherent. Evaporation in a boiler causes impurities to concentrate.

Learn MoreLSB 8000 (Scale Locomotive Steam Boilers) TERLYN LSB8000 is the most advanced locomotive water treatment ever developed and the only treatment specifically designed for the live steam hobbyist. LSB8000 is a single feed treatment that will control scale and corrosion in live steam boilers while removing existing deposits.
Learn MoreScale builds up over a longer period of time and also contributes to boiler inefficiency. Heat loss of 8% and increased fuel consumption of 2% will result from only 1/32" (0.8mm) of scale in the boiler tubes. In a water tube boiler, water runs through tubes that are surrounded by the heating source.
Learn MoreScale Affects Boiler Performance - Remove Scale From Boilers for Better Performance Maintaining a scheduled cleaning program for boilers is essential to reduce costs and increase equipment life. Dirty boiler tubes - whether the firetube or water tube type - cause more fuel to be used and drive up heating costs.
Learn MoreSteam Production When heat is added to water, its temperature rises at a rate of 0.56°C (1°F) for each heat input of 2.095 kJ/kg (1 Btu/lb) If we take water at 0°C (32°F) and we
Learn MoreMost scale formations in boilers can be traced to the presence of hardness in the make-up water. This hardness reacts in the high temperatures environment within the boiler to form an insoluble scale. This insoluble scale coats the heat transfer surfaces, acting as an insulator to impede heat transfer.

Learn MoreBoiler Scale Steam boiler cleaning is a routine water system maintenance in which deposits like calcium are removed on the boiler surface through the use of a descaling acid. Impurities tend to accumulate in boilers through constant use which can insulate water from the heat source, especially if heat exchangers in the system use tap water.
