Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Soot and fouling build-up on gas-side tubes, reducing heat transfer and raising exhaust backpressure
  • Waterside scale/deposit build-up from inadequate feedwater treatment
  • Tube leakage from thermal fatigue or corrosion at tube-to-tubeplate joints
  • Safety valve seat leakage or lifting-pressure drift over time
  • Water level control/low-water alarm malfunction
  • Soot fire risk in gas passages after prolonged low-load running with unburned deposits

Inspection checklist

  • Check feedwater/boiler water chemistry (TDS, alkalinity, chloride) against the maker's limits
  • Soot-blow or clean gas-side tubes and assess fouling thickness
  • Visual and, where due, hydraulic test of the pressure vessel per class interval
  • Test safety valve(s) for correct lifting and reseating pressure
  • Verify low-water level alarm and burner cut-out function
  • Inspect tube-to-tubeplate joints for leakage or weeping
  • Check gauge glass and pressure gauge calibration
  • Inspect the soot-fire smothering arrangement (steam or water) if fitted

Service intervals

Class internal/external surveyexternal typically annual, internal per class periodical scheme (often every 2.5-5 years depending on notation)
Safety valve testingannually or per class requirement
Gas-side soot blowing/cleaningcondition-based on backpressure rise, commonly every 500-1,000 running hours
Water treatment/blowdown chemistry checkweekly to monthly
Feedwater/boiler water samplingweekly

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Typical wear limits

Gas-side tube wall thicknesscondition-based renewal, commonly when wastage approaches roughly 20-30% of original thickness - confirm against the maker's/class minimum table

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Safety valve or spring set
  • Gauge glass set
  • Water level control probes/electrodes
  • Tube-to-tubeplate gaskets/seals
  • Burner nozzle and ignition electrodes (oil-fired mode)

Safety

  • Pressure vessel - never open for work without full isolation and venting
  • Soot fire risk in gas-side passages - follow the ship's soot-fire procedure and keep the smothering system ready
  • Hot surfaces on casing and exhaust duct connections
  • Thermal shock/water hammer risk on rapid warm-through - follow the maker's warm-up procedure

Class survey

Covered under the class Boiler Survey requirements - internal/external examination, safety valve accumulation/lifting test, and confirmation of feedwater treatment records; where integrated with the exhaust system, the soot-fire prevention arrangement is also checked at survey.

Estimated lifetime: Compact exhaust gas economiser/auxiliary boiler units of this class commonly remain in service 15-25 years with proper water treatment and tube maintenance; individual tube bundles may need earlier renewal depending on fouling and corrosion history.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
