Boiler Maintenance Platform refers to a special type of inspection and maintenance equipment that is suspended by a system atop a boiler. It is moved through a wire rope by the hoist, to move along water cooled wall façade. Such a platform is used to maintain power plant boilers, as well as repair and inspection of inner boiler wall that is water-cooled. Know the 3 main reasons these are needed.
Avoiding blister formation
Blisters are formed over furnace walls or boiler tubes due to internal deposits. These often arise in boilers which run in the feed water with plenty of make-up. Blisters arise because the temperature of the metal tube gets elevated because of internal deposit. Once the heated region swells, the internal deposit cracks and the tube metal temperature goes back to normal. This can occur for quite a few times before the blister ruptures.
Leak prevention
Once can often see leaks in a boiler tube bank that cannot be accessed easily. There could be a major leak due to an existing leak that has been there for long enough to get bigger and lead to damage of tube seat. Such an occurrence can be prevented with a boiler tower maintenance platform from a reputed suspended platform manufacturer known for superior products.
Avoidance of cracks
If there is an overheating of tube, there can be longitudinal cracks. A crack in circumference can happen when there is a failure resulting from too much stress caused by inability to expand, bending or fatigue.
