Shell boilers - Part 10: Requirements for feedwater and boiler water quality (Revision of EN 12953-10:2003-09) prEN 12953-10 rev

Scope

This Part of this European Standard applies to all shell boilers as defined in EN 12953-1 which are heated by combustion of one or more fuels or by hot gases for the generation of steam and/or hot water.
This Part of this European Standard applies to those components between the feedwater inlet and the steam outlet of the steam generator. The quality of the steam produced is outside the scope of this standard.
This Part of this European Standard aims to ensure that the boiler is able to be operated to minimize risk to personnel, the boiler and associated plant components located near it.

The standard shall be revised to include more information on why operations within certain areas or envelopes are allowable and others are not allowable. The whole standard needs to be redrafted to give more information on the treatment of shell boiler across the whole spectrum of pretreatment plants, boiler pressures and available treatment regimes.
