KEPCO KEG 5t/10bar

KEPCO KEPCO KEG 5t/10bar is identified in the source list as a exhaust-gas boiler. It is installed in the main-engine or auxiliary-engine exhaust path, typically in the funnel or uptake region, and connected to the vessel's steam or heat-recovery system. Its purpose is to recover waste heat from engine exhaust gas and transfer that energy into steam or another approved heating medium. The existing database record identifies exhaust-gas service for this unit. Unlike an oil-fired boiler, its normal heat input comes from exhaust gas, although the overall plant may include supplementary firing or separate auxiliary boilers. The exact model designation and any source-listed pressure or exhaust-gas information distinguish this unit from neighboring capacities; heating surface, steam output and permissible exhaust conditions must be confirmed from approved documentation.

Common failures & inspection points

●Soot fouling caused by incomplete combustion or prolonged low-load operation, resulting in increased exhaust backpressure and reduced heat recovery
●Soot fire or overheating caused by combustible deposits and unfavorable exhaust conditions, resulting in rapidly rising temperatures or abnormal uptake indications
●Tube leakage caused by corrosion, erosion or thermal fatigue, resulting in water or steam loss and abnormal exhaust-side moisture
●Circulation or feedwater problems caused by blocked lines, pump faults or control problems, resulting in unstable water level or poor heat transfer
●Gas-side bypass, damper or monitoring faults where fitted caused by sticking or control defects, resulting in abnormal exhaust flow or ineffective heat recovery

Service & Maintenance

Trend exhaust-gas pressure drop, temperatures and steam-generation performance. Inspect and clean gas-side heating surfaces using the vessel's approved soot-cleaning method and investigate any persistent fouling pattern. Maintain water treatment and circulation and inspect accessible tubes, headers and casing for leakage or corrosion. Verify soot-blower, bypass or damper operation where fitted and check alarms and temperature monitoring. Treat suspected soot-fire conditions according to the vessel's emergency procedures rather than opening the unit prematurely. Refer to manufacturer and class documentation for exact inspection, cleaning and pressure-test requirements.

Replacement Parts

Keep gaskets, soot-cleaning service parts, monitoring components and circulation-system consumables recommended for the installed unit. Tube plugs or approved pressure-part repair materials may be carried where permitted by the vessel's class-approved repair philosophy. Exact spares and repair methods must follow manufacturer and classification documentation.
