Electric boilers may be easy to overlook during internal inspections and maintenance, but doing so can have serious consequences.
In the latest edition of the BULLETIN, Senior Staff Engineer Mike Burns examines a Florida boiler inspection that provides a real-world case study of how misconceptions about electric boilers, internal inspections, and maintenance practices can lead to significant deterioration.
The article covers six common misconceptions, including whether electric boilers require internal inspections, whether heating elements can serve as inspection openings, and whether electric boilers are subject to statutory inspection requirements.
It also offers practical guidance for inspectors on setting expectations with owners from the first inspection, coordinating inspections with maintenance, and emphasizing proper boiler water treatment and cleaning. To read the article, go to https://ow.ly/MVGf50ZQi7N
