Title: Proper Care and Feeding of Your Deaerating Feedwater Heater

The deaerating feedwater heater is one of the most important components of the steam generation cycle in a boiler plant. Besides heating the feedwater, it also liberates and removes the non-condensable gases (primarily Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide) present in the water. These gases would cause pitting and corrosion if allowed to enter the boiler with the feedwater. A good quality deaerator should be constructed to conform to the requirements of the “Deaerator Standard” from the Heat Exchange Institute (HEI). HEI is acknowledged worldwide as the leading standards development organization for heat exchange and vacuum apparatus. By understanding how the deaerator works and knowing what to check regarding its operation, the owner can very easily monitor the deaerator’s efficiency and react accordingly when operating conditions go awry…
