Soot Blowers

Soot blowers are used to keep the boiler surfaces free from deposits of dust & grit, which would otherwise reduce the rate of heat transmission in the boiler, reducing the boiler efficiency, reducing availability. This loosely adhering layer is a definite impediment to the transfer of heat & should be removed after it has built up sufficiently to result in significant increase in flue gas temperature. Regular soot blowing is essential for Boilers, Superheaters and Economisers heating surfaces if the high thermal efficiency is to be maintained.

The Soot Blower consists of

• Element rotating mechanism (Head) manual or motorised with loose valve or built in valve.
• Element (Blowing Tube):
  Stainless steel or carbon steel depending upon the flue gas temperature.
  

The usual form of element is dead end tube projecting through the boiler setting and extending into the tube bank. Number of small lateral ventury nozzles of special alloy are provided on the tube and the external head is arranged so that high pressure steam can be admitted to the tube (element) & at the same time the element is rotated around its axis, to ensure maximum coverage of heating surface. The element can be rotated through any desired blowing angle.

1. Long Retractable
2. Reciprocating Short Retractable
3. Rotary Built-in Valve Type (Manual or Motorised)
4. Sequential Control Panel.
