Question

mechanical steam purifiers avoid?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Priming can be avoided by: (i) fitting mechanical steam purifiers; (ii) avoiding rapid changing steaming rate; (iii) maintaining low water levels in boilers, and (iv) efficient softening and filtration of the boiler-feed water.

Answer 2

Mechanical steam purifiers avoid priming.

• Priming occurs when there are high amounts of dissolved solids present at the surface of the water.
• When the temperature inside the boilers increases due to the production of steam, these mechanical steam purifiers help in escaping the possible amount of steam from the boiler in order to balance the steam inside the boiler.
• If the above process is not done, then there would be a decrease in their efficiency.
• These mechanical steam purifiers help in the removal of impure bubbles(foaming).
