: Two low press. steamers, but today both boilers kept going out on low water. Yes all the obvious has been checked...the only difference has been a triple shot of chemicals to the water. Can a chemical make the water steam faster? We have not found the problem yet, and its been 5hrs.
: thanks for any help...mike
Overfeeding of chemiclas will cause surging issues, and this will cause a false low water shutdown.
A hi-alkalinity level especially will cause sever foaming/surging causing the nusiance low water shutdowns.
Blowdown to bring the ranges down to acceptable levels.
