What can happen if soot blowers are improperly adjusted?

  1. Wear the tubes

  2. Bind the tubes

  3. Cut the tubes

  4. Block the tubes

The correct answer is: Cut the tubes

Improperly adjusted soot blowers can lead to significant damage in boiler systems. The primary purpose of soot blowers is to remove soot buildup from the pressure parts, ensuring efficient heat transfer and maintaining optimal operating conditions. If they are misaligned or incorrectly adjusted, they can cause excessive force to be applied to the tubes. When soot blowers are over-pressurized or directed improperly, they can strike the tubes with enough force to cause cutting or damage, potentially compromising the integrity of the boiler system. This can lead to leaks, reduced efficiency, or even catastrophic failure if not addressed. Thus, understanding the correct adjustment and operation of soot blowers is crucial for the maintenance and operation of a boiler system.
