What Is The Effect Of Soot Deposits In A Boiler?

1.	What Is The Effect Of Soot Deposits In A Boiler?
Answer» The deposited SOOT act as a poor conductor of heat which reduce the heat transfer rate and increase flue GAS temperature. The deposits block the flue gas path which increase the drought loss. The deposit may lead to CORROSION. Due to falling of LARGE size of soot it damage the tube in dry ash CONVEYING system.
