1.1 Disparities in needs
What are the similarities and differences between a laundry boiler producing 2 tonnes of steam per hour at 10 bar, and a nuclear power plant boiler producing over 10,000 tonnes of steam per hour at 72 bar? Between a boiler producing hot water at 60°C for a 100-unit apartment building and a superheated water circuit at 180°C under 18 bars with a volume of several thousand m 3 ? Between a cogeneration recovery boiler in a refinery and steam production for food use? Between the various water treatments to be implemented?
It goes without saying that the purity of the make-up water will be different, and that the consequences of the formation of a deposit or the onset of corrosion will not be of...
