How often should a bottom blow-off be performed?

The bottom blow-off of a boiler is a critical maintenance procedure aimed at removing accumulated sediments and impurities that settle at the bottom of the boiler. Performing this task daily is essential to maintain the efficiency and safety of the boiler.

Sediments can form due to various factors, including minerals present in the feedwater. If not regularly removed, these sediments can accumulate and potentially lead to water quality issues, reduced efficiency, and even damage to the boiler's components. A daily blow-off helps in preventing this buildup, ensuring that the boiler operates effectively and safely.

Conducting the bottom blow-off less frequently, such as weekly, monthly, or annually, may not adequately address sedimentation, risking the operational integrity of the boiler over time. Therefore, the recommended frequency of a daily blow-off is a best practice in boiler maintenance that aligns with safety standards.
