Boiler explosions can result from a number of factors. The primary reason for them is a faulty pressure relief valve. Inner corrosion of the boiler plates is another primary reason a boiler will explode or suffer a catastrophic failure. Low water levels are responsible for many instances of boiler explosion and can happen when the water falls

2015/5/20 · 2. The water's pH is too high. When steam condenses, it produces carbonic acid that can eat through wet-return lines. So service technicians often add chemicals to steam boilers to keep the pH from getting too low. But it can be just as bad if the pH gets too high; that causes foaming, and foaming leads to trouble.
