A common problem that's found in boiler water is the presence of high conductivity, which refers to the ability of the water to conduct an electrical current. Controlling the conductivity of water is an essential component of making sure that a boiler functions properly.Nov 25, 2020
What causes high conductivity in a boiler?
It is caused by high concentration of any solids in the boiler water. Priming consists of droplets of water in the steam. This lowers energy efficiency of the steam and can result in salt crystal deposits on the boiler equipment. These effects can be measured with conductivity and TDS.
How long do conductivity probes last?
"Conductivity cell constant and temperature constant calibrations are generally valid for one year from date of installation. However, rough handling or use in samples containing suspended solids which accumulate on cell surfaces can degrade sensor constant accuracy and require more frequent calibration".
