What are the hazards of boiler water hammer accidents?

Answer:

In addition, there are negative pressure explosion, that is, when the blower suddenly stopped, the fan to continue to run, the gas side of the pressure drop, resulting in furnace, rigid beam and furnace wall damage phenomenon.
The furnace side of the smoke side of the pressure suddenly increased, more than the design allowed to cause the value of the water wall, rigid beam and roof, furnace wall damage phenomenon, that is, positive pressure explosion.
When the water hit the pipe to withstand the pressure suddenly increased, the occurrence of violent vibration and issued a huge sound, often resulting in pipes, flanges, valves and other damage.
When the water flows in the pipeline, sudden changes in pressure caused by sudden changes in pressure, the formation of pressure waves and the phenomenon of transmission in the pipeline, called water hammer.
