EFFECTS OF DEPOSIT AND<br />
SCALE FORMATION<br />
1. Heat transfer is retarded<br />
• <strong>Boiler</strong> tube metal temperatures increase. <strong>The</strong> approximate<br />
softening temperature of boiler tube metal is about 900 0 F. If<br />
heat retardation of boiler deposits causes this temperature to<br />
be reached, tube softening and rupture will occur.<br />
• Even when deposit build-up may not be sufficient to cause<br />
tube failure, their insulating effect may still result in reduced<br />
boiler operation efficiency and energy wastage by<br />
allowing excessive heat to exit the boiler with the stack gas.<br />
