Anyone know of some good books about pumps/closed loop systems? I have Pumping Away by Holohan, looking for something a little more sciency. Pumps are definitely my weakest point and what i scratch my head the most on.
To follow up on scale pics from a while back. More pic/video in comments.
We changed one of these out a few years ago. Just priced a new one. Price from CB was right at 60k out the door....... Thats just the Motor. 1000hp/CBEX-E. HP steam.
Yesterday there were a couple of posts that I enjoyed seeing what others do and experience. Love that, keep that up.
So far we have done a good job at being supportive of each other and explaining things well without bringing others down which is excellent. The sub is still small, but I don't want it to ever get to a point where people feel like they can't ask a question or share their experiences.
If you haven't posted yet or commented for fear you don't have enough experience or knowledge, don't let that fear stop you. Everyone starts somewhere, it's okay to be new.
Keep up the good work yall, boilers are great. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Middle drum of a somewhat unique 3 drum D-type steam gen. Taken in the happier times before we found the cracking and had to cut out almost every cat. D nozzle penetration & repad.
Anyone take these classes and would recommend them? They look good on paper, but was hoping to see if anyone could share their experience before I went to my leadership to ask for funding.

This was what im assuming is Miura's version of a pigtail siphon on a sensing line. Entire 2 foot compression line was clogged. Maintenance supervisor had been running the boiler with no internal load control as the pressure transducers were reading 0 psi on the primary gauge and on the Miura HMI. PRV's finally triggered but sheeesh. Took an hour to clear the clog on the line. Vacuum breaker was clogged as well.
Some industrial facilities have shutdowns around the first week of July. I was just wondering if you are working the weekend and if so, what's the project?
I’m just an electrician but I’ve gotten to watch this be installed, it’s custom made from a company in Turkey. Seems pretty cool
What is your favorite burner combustion system and why? What benefits or savings do you see from it? (Autoflame, Fireye, Siemens, Hawk, Lamtec, Preferred Utilities, custom PLC etc)
I know this has a lot to do with opinion and experience, but I am just curious what yall like.
1960’s Kewaunee Boiler needs new tubes but the left boiler door is blocked from fully opening due to the burner sections frame. We’re contemplating either removing the entire burner itself as we’re not sure if the boiler tubes will slide out with the edges of the blower section being slightly in the path, or rigging the door off. We already replaced one tube that was easily accessible and it did seem to have some float to allow the tube to slide in without being obstructed by the blower sections frame.
Any thoughts and/or experiences with these?
Hello! I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that this light seems on before, should I be concerned?
