How to Deal with Boiler Tube Blockage

Boiler tube refers to steel with openings at both ends and a hollow section, and its length is relatively large compared to the surrounding area. According to the production method, it can be divided into seamless steel pipe and welded steel pipe. Boiler tubes sometimes become blocked, so what causes it?

There are many reasons for boiler tube blockage. Here are some common reasons

1. Sediment and dirt: The water and fuel in the boiler tube will accumulate dirt and sediment, which will cause the pipe to gradually narrow and affect the smoothness of the pipe.

2. Rust: The boiler pipe will rust after a long period of use, causing the aperture in the pipe to become smaller, thus affecting the smoothness of the pipe.

3. Radiation contraction of the pipe: The boiler tube will expand as the temperature rises and contract as the temperature drops. These expansion and contraction processes may form blockages in the pipe.

Solutions to boiler tube blockage

1. Use chemical cleaning agents: Some chemical cleaning agents can effectively remove dirt and sediment in the pipe and keep the pipe smooth. Please note that when choosing cleaning agents, you should choose products that meet national standards and follow the instructions for use.

2. Cleaning the pipe: If the sediment accumulated in the pipe is serious, you can consider cleaning the pipe directly. Please note that cleaning the pipe is a dangerous task and should be performed by professional technicians.

3. Replace the pipe: If the boiler tube has rusted or there is serious damage in the pipe, you can consider replacing the pipe. Replacing the pipe is a relatively complex task and requires professional technicians to operate.

To avoid boiler tube blockage, you can regularly clean and maintain the boiler, regularly replace fuel and water, prevent scale from forming in the pipe, and keep the temperature and pressure in the pipe stable.

In short, boiler tube blockage is a relatively common problem. If you are experiencing this problem, you can try to deal with it according to the solutions provided above. If you are not sure how to deal with this problem, please contact a professional technician in time.
