Smart monitoring and controls for your boiler is the key to ensuring there are no surprises during periodic boiler service inspections. Boilers should be monitored by trained maintenance personnel who know what to look for in a compromised boiler system. Of course, even the most trained eye can overlook a potential issue, which is why it helps to have the appropriate ancillary tools and systems for streamlining steam boiler maintenance, such as the BL Micro Controller Boiler Control System and the Colormetry Hardness Detection System.

The water tube design already puts you ahead of the safety game. Conventional fire tube boilers may never be completely fail-safe because of the amount of saturated water they use. Steam has a much higher volume than water — roughly 1,600 times larger. If too many gallons of saturated water flashes into steam, the mass of the steam created exceeds what the boiler room can contain, resulting in an explosion. With water tube boilers, such an explosion is virtually impossible because water tubes use roughly 10 percent of the water you might find inside a fire tube boiler at any given moment. The water is also contained in circular tubes that are designed to withstand high amounts of pressure.

The right monitoring system, like our system, can give you a strong indication when it’s time to replace your boiler. The monitoring system can help to troubleshoot any issues with the boiler and get it back running properly as soon as possible. It will also be able to detect a problem that’s serious enough for the boiler to be replaced.
