Alfa Laval Aalborg TF-300 5t/7bar

Internal visual inspection of all steam/water tubes; perform pressure test if suspected; seal leaking tube with conical stop valve after steel wire brush cleaning of tube ends. Leaking tubes must be renewed.

Check DP transmitter unit (external reference/variable leg, 4–20 mA output); feedwater control valve functional test; sight glass for cracks, contamination; test alarm function in control unit

Test two safety valves under full-load steam: pressure build-up 7 min. max. +6% working pressure permissible (water tubes); pop-point of each valve max. ±3% from set pressure; class notation: perform opening + accumulation test under classifier supervision

Inspect furnace walls and refractory lining visually (min. 2x/year); check for cracks, moisture, soot deposits. Check lower tube plate (insulation + form refractory). After 3–4 weeks operation: perform blow-down, inspect/clean boiler, remove sludge

Hydrostatic test: fill boiler with water 21–65 °C (water tubes max. 71 °C). Pressure: 1.5× MAWP (non-entry) or 1.25× MAWP (entry). Secure safety valves with clamps. Check all seal surfaces, rivets, welds for leaks. Class notation: every 2 years (up to 8 years), then annually

Class survey: water side (steam drum, water drum, all tubes) check for corrosion/cracks/deposits; fire side (furnace, flue gas path) check for soot/flocking (min. 2x/year). Man holes (top/bottom) permit access. If necessary use ultrasonic/endoscope for deeper defects
