Steam capacity th25
Design Pressure (bar)7
Fuel TypeHFO/MDO
Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Burner nozzle fouling or coking from poor HFO atomisation or wrong viscosity at the burner
  • Furnace refractory cracking from thermal cycling
  • Soot deposits on fire-side tube surfaces reducing heat transfer efficiency
  • Feedwater/boiler water treatment excursions causing scale or corrosion
  • Safety valve seat leakage from wear or deposits
  • Economiser tube fouling or cold-end corrosion on sulphur-bearing fuel
  • Combustion air (FD) fan bearing wear
  • Flame scanner fouling causing nuisance trips

Inspection checklist

  • Fire-side tube soot deposit inspection
  • Water-side scale inspection at manhole/handhole openings
  • Safety valve lift and reseat test
  • Burner nozzle spray pattern and atomising pressure check
  • Boiler water chemistry test (alkalinity, chlorides, TDS, phosphate/oxygen scavenger residual)
  • Refractory condition check
  • Combustion analysis (O2, CO, smoke) at the burner
  • Low-water alarm and cut-out function test
  • Economiser tube condition where fitted

Service intervals

Boiler water chemistry testdaily to weekly per the class-approved treatment programme
Blowdown (bottom and surface)daily or per watchkeeping routine
Safety valve function testat each survey or per class requirement, typically annually
Burner nozzle cleaning/replacementper running hours and fuel quality, commonly 500-1500 h
Internal inspection (fire-side and water-side)annually or at the class survey interval
Low-water alarm/cut-out testmonthly and before each start after lay-up

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

Typical wear limits

Furnace/fire-side tube wall thicknesscondemning limit is boiler-specific per class rules and original design thickness - confirm against the boiler's class-approved thickness gauging record
Safety valve set-pressure driftacceptable tolerance is typically within a few percent of set pressure per class rules - confirm against the valve's certificate

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

Critical spares

  • Burner atomiser/nozzle set
  • Safety valve spare parts (seat/spring kit, or a complete spare valve)
  • Flame scanner
  • Feedwater pump seal kit
  • Gaskets for manhole/handhole covers
  • Boiler water treatment chemicals (correct type for this boiler)

Safety

  • Pressurised steam and hot surfaces - scalding risk at manhole/handhole and blowdown lines
  • Furnace explosion risk from unburnt fuel accumulation - always purge before relight
  • HFO handling at the burner - hot, pressurised fuel lines
  • Safety valve discharge path must be kept clear
  • Confined space entry for internal inspection - isolate, cool, and gas-free before entry

Class survey

Boilers are subject to periodical survey (internal and external) under the applicable class rules, including safety valve testing, thickness gauging where required, and confirmation that the water treatment log and blowdown records are being maintained.

Estimated lifetime: Marine auxiliary oil-fired boilers of this size are typically designed for a 20-25 year vessel life with tube renewals and periodic retubing as needed; actual longevity depends heavily on water treatment discipline and fuel quality.

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.
