Boilers that produce hot water under high pressure are called hot water boiler. In hot water boilers, hot water is produced above 120 degrees. Hot water boilers are especially preferred in central systems. In order to keep the hot water in these boilers to a certain degree, the pressure of the system should be kept at a certain pressure continuously. With the developing technology, the hot water boilers also work more safely and more efficiently. For the safe operation of hot water boilers, maintenance and controls must be done. Carrying out these checks prevents accidents. These boilers are inspected at least 1 times per year.
Hot water boilers are subject to the Sağlık Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment ”. Controls shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant articles specified in this regulation. It is a legal obligation to comply with these substances that comply with European standards. Turcert, Inspection, expert teams and equipment carried out with steam boilers hot water boiler identified as a result of deficiencies, nonconformities or dangerous situations in a report to you by presenting to you to prevent a possible dangerous event and legal requirements on behalf of you.
Efficient use of energy resources is a common point not only in our country but also in the whole world. The ever-worsening depletion of natural resources puts people at concern and urges them to seek measures. Orientation to renewable energy sources and the attempt to use existing resources in the most efficient way are the result of these concerns.
The Energy Efficiency Law was enacted by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources in 2007 in order to increase the efficiency in the use of energy resources and energy in order to use energy effectively, to prevent wasting, to reduce the burden of energy costs on the economy and of course to protect nature. This law and the regulations issued on the basis of this law envisage the use of a centralized system for heating areas over two thousand square meters in size. In this way, the independent sections are prevented from generating heat on their own.
In the central system, superheated water boiler and expansion tank are used and the heat produced is carried by superheated water or steam over 110 degree. In order to keep the heated water at a certain temperature, the whole system must be kept under a certain pressure continuously. If the pressure is provided by steam, the pressure in which these systems must be secured is not too high. Therefore, an expansion vessel is used. The expansion vessel both receives the expansion and acts as a pressure center.
Steam boilers are used not only in heating systems but also in various tasks in the industry for various purposes. However, for whatever reason they are established, their organizations and operations must be carried out in accordance with the rules and regular inspections and inspections must be carried out for their safe operation.
According to the Energy Efficiency Law enacted in 2007, a central system will be used for heating areas larger than 2000 square meters. Therefore, central heating systems, which are fed with hot water, have become more important. Central heating means the use of energy obtained from a point by spreading. By means of central heating, independent structures and facilities are prevented from generating heat on their own. In this system, the heat produced in the center is conveyed with superheated water or steam above 110 degree. In the center, hot water boiler and expansion tank are used to produce this heat. In order to keep the hot water at the desired temperature, it is necessary to keep the whole system under a certain pressure continuously. In systems where this pressure is supplied with steam, the pressure taken as a safety is not too high. Therefore, expansion vessel is used in the system. The expansion vessel receives the expansion while acting as a pressure center.
Systems that provide pressure with steam are evolving. There are many types of these systems. In some systems a volume of steam is separated in the superheated water boiler. In some systems, water is heated directly by steam. In some systems, a separate steam chamber provides natural pressure.
For the safe operation of hot water boilers, it is necessary to carry out the installation and operation works in accordance with the rules and to have regular inspections and inspections done in a timely manner.
In 2013, the hot water boilers and expansion vessels, pressure vessels and installations are mentioned in the Regulation on Health and Safety Conditions in the Use of Work Equipment issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. In this context, the legal regulations to be taken into consideration in the control and inspection operations of hot water boilers are as follows:
- Pressure Equipment Directive (2007)
- Portable Pressure Equipment Regulation (2012)
- Regulation on Simple Pressure Vessels (2006)
