18、d by Subcommittee EPC/37/8. It revises and supersedes BS 2486 : 1978, which is withdrawn. The responsibility for this standard has now been allocated to CII/62. BS 2486 was first published in 1954 and last revised in 1978. This revision of the standard brings the technical content up to date, reflec

19、ting developments and experience gained in industrial boiler design and operation since 1978. The scope has been broadened to include water treatment for electrode boilers or evaporators, combined heat and power plant (CHP), combined cycle plant (CCP) and plant that produces hot water for heating or

20、 process purposes only. Further information on the design and manufacture of water-tube steam generators and plant can be found in BS 1113 : 1992 and that of shell boilers in BS 2790 : 1992. Further information on the maintenance of hot water systems of output 45 kW can be found in BS 6880 : Part 3

21、: 1988. Given the range of knowledge and experience of the users of this standard, descriptive and introductory text cannot be entirely eliminated. It is also necessary to provide explanations for those applications which do not fall conveniently within the tables provided, or where there are risks

22、if the treatment concerned is not adequately understood. Values for levels of water treatment chemicals given in this standard are typical values given for information only. It is strongly recommended that, for specific applications, the advice of specialists in boiler water treatment be sought and

23、followed. Wherever a pressure is quoted in terms of bar, it refers to bar (gauge). WARNING. Many of the chemicals referred to in this standard are hazardous to human health and or environment and should be handled with care. Attention is drawn to the provisions of the Control of Substances Hazardous

24、 to Health Regulations 1994 1 and applicable environmental legislation. (See note 2 to 1.1.) Attention is drawn to the fact that it is claimed that the use of methyl ethyl ketoxime is the subject of British patent No. 2 145 707, copies of which can be obtained from the Sale Branch, The Patent Office

25、, Cwmfelinfach, Cross Keys, Newport NP1 7HZ. BSI takes no position as to the validity of the patent or whether it is still in force. The patent is endorsed licences of right under Section 46 of the Patents Act 1977 1) , which states: (3) Where such an entry is made in respect of a patent a) any pers

26、on shall, at any time after the entry is made, be entitled as of right to a licence under the patent on such terms as may be settled by agreement or, in default of agreement, by the Comptroller on the application of the proprietor of the patent or the person requiring the licence. Licence details ca

27、n be obtained from the registered proprietor of the patent. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

28、legal obligations.iv blankSection 1 Issue 2, April 1998 BS 2486 : 1997 BSI 1998 1 2) 1 bar = 100 kPA. Section 1. General | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1.1 Scope This British Standard gives recommendations for the control of water-side conditions of steam boilers and water heaters and also fo

29、r the preparation of feed water for such plant. The following categories of water heating or steam-raising plant are covered: a) hot water systems as defined in 1.4; b) electrode boilers; c) shell (fire-tube) boilers operating at pressures up to 30 bar; 2) d) water-tube boilers operating up to criti

30、cal pressure; e) once-through boilers, including coil and hairpin types, operating up to, or above, the critical pressure. NOTE 1. Regulation 11 of the Pressure Systems and Transportable Gas Containers Regulations, 1989 2 came into effect on 1 July 1994 and requires boiler users to provide operators

31、 with adequate and suitable instructions for the safe operation of the boiler, and to ensure that the boiler is not operated, except in accordance with these instructions. Guidance given in the Health and Safety Executives Approved Code of Practice Safety of Pressure Systems 3 requires that instruct

32、ions should cover, if appropriate, the feed water treatment. NOTE 2. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 1994 1 require an assessment of the risk of exposure to substances hazardous to health and implication of the control measures needed to prevent, or if that is not r

33、easonably practicable, adequately control such exposure. All sources of exposure in the workplace are covered including releases resulting from explosion or venting. For further information users are advised to consult the Approved Codes of Practice covering the control of substances hazardous to he

34、alth and control of carcinogenic substances 4. The recommendations are not applicable to: a) the treatment of water for most domestic heaters, which is covered by BS 7593 Code of practice for treatment of water in domestic hot water central heating systems; b) the treatment of water for marine boile

35、rs, which is covered by BS 1170 Recommendations for treatment of water for marine boilers; c) the treatment of water for nuclear-powered steam-generation plant. The use of electronic, electrostatic or magnetic products is outside the scope of this standard. The preparation of a future British Standa

36、rd covering such physical treatments of water for steam boilers and water heaters is being considered. Methods for the analysis of water are not described in this standard. Additional information on water and water treament is given in annexes A to D. 1.2 Objectives 1.2.1 Objectives of water treatme

37、nt The objectives of water treatment are: a) to contribute to the overall safety of operation of the boiler or water heater; b) to assist in the maintenance of high heat-transfer efficiency in the boiler or water heater by: 1) preventing deposition of precipitated scale or other debris; 2) preventin

38、g corrosion or deterioration of surfaces in contact with water; c) to maintain the quality of any generated steam or hot water, appropriate to the particular application. Failure to maintain suitable water conditions could compromise the in-service integrity of pressure parts and lead to danger from

39、 the unintentional release of stored energy or the scalding effect of hot water or steam. 1.2.2 Factors influencing the quality of feed water required for steam boilers and water heaters These are: a) the type and design of boiler or water heater, materials of construction and the operating conditio

40、ns, particularly heat transfer rates and pressure; b) the desired steam or hot water quality and the requirements for any spray attemperators, desuperheaters or post-boiler plant, e.g. steam turbines. Tables 1 to 7 fully reflect these criteria. 1.2.3 Factors influencing the type of water treatment n

41、ecessary to meet the feed water quality requirements These are: a) the characteristics, relative proportions and cost of make-up water, condensate and other process water that can comprise the feed water; b) the capacity and characteristics of any existing water treatment facilities and procedures;

42、c) the balance between capital and operating costs of any proposed water treatment plant or procedure, including the effect of energy costs. 1.2.4 The water treatment process The water treatment process, except for closed circuit water systems, usually involves two distinct elements: a) external tre

43、atment, which is concerned primarily with the removal of undesirable constituents; b) internal treatment, where chemical additions are made to the feed water, boiler water and steam in order to confer desirable attributes, or to react with traces of undesirable constituents which can remain after ex

44、ternal treatment.2 BSI 1998 BS 2486 : 1997 Issue 2, April 1998 Section 1 1.3 References 1.3.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
