Understanding Corrosion, Air Leakage, and Ash blockage in Boiler Air Preheaters

There is a close correlation and mutual influence among corrosion, air leakage and ash blockage in boiler air preheaters. The following is a detailed analysis of the relationship among the three: 1. The relationship between corrosion and ash blockage Corrosion aggravates ash blockage: Under high temperature environment, oxidation reaction will occur on the metal surface, […]

The relationship between air leakage and corrosion in air preheater

Leakage and corrosion in boiler air preheaters are closely linked. Both issues negatively affect boiler efficiency and safety. 1. Impact of Leakage on Corrosion: Worsening Corrosive Conditions: When leakage happens, especially when air leaks from the positive pressure side to the negative pressure flue gas side, oxygen levels rise. This increase in oxygen accelerates metal
