Requirements of boiler feed water

In this video, we explore the requirements for boiler feed water, focusing on the specifications necessary for water used in boilers. We begin by discussing the applications of water, which can be categorized into domestic uses such as washing, cooking, and gardening, and industrial uses, including mixing solutions and producing steam. Various industries, such as metal production, wood processing, and power generation, utilize boilers for their operations. The video presents a simple setup of a boiler, explaining its components like water inlet and outlet, and the function of the boiler in generating steam. The water supplied to the boiler, known as boiler feed water, must meet specific specifications to avoid issues like scale formation, corrosion, and other impurities. The ideal feed water should be free from oil, dissolved gases, and suspended impurities to prevent problems such as scaling, sludge formation, and corrosion, which can arise from hardness and other contaminants. The video emphasizes the importance of maintaining the quality of boiler feed water to ensure efficient operation and longevity of the boiler.
