ENG GEMAŞ STEAM GENERATOR AND CONTROL PANEL INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL V2.1
BOILER CLEANING
Steam Generator is a device that converts water into steam. Although the physical properties
of the network water used vary depending on geographical regions, it is inevitable that it contains
certain amounts of calcium, magnesium, iron and other minerals. These minerals suspended when
the water is cold decompose from the water during the evaporation of the water and accumulate at
the bottom of the boiler. Some of them adhere to the electrodes in the boiler. After a certain period
of time, the electrodes are completely covered with the substance called lime. Since the lime layer
is insulating, they complicate the flow of electricity between the electrodes. As a result, the
evaporation efficiency of the water decreases. This lime formed in the electrodes must be cleaned
periodically. Installing a water purifier at the entrance of the steam generator partially solves this
problem but does not completely eliminate it. These systems, which are called water treatment
devices in the market, treat the water with different methods. Resinous systems only retain
calcium and magnesium ions in the water. However, they cannot hold other minerals in the water.
If you neglect the boiler cleaning by thinking that the generator uses purified water, you will
observe that after a while, the efficiency of steaming decreases and the boilers and electrodes are
covered with minerals.
Devices that purify water with reserve osmosis technique, another water treatment method, purify
all minerals in the water. This system adversely affects the operation of the Steam Generator. The
device, which uses the conductivity feature of the water to convert the water into steam, will not
be able to produce steam, and different problems may occur, since when the water is completely
purified from minerals, the conductivity of the water will decrease too much.
A In the table below, the cleaning intervals you need to do according to the hardness
values and working times of the water used in the steam generator are given in hours. You can
check the working hours of your generator by getting help from the section in this booklet. Take
into account the warnings that appear and clean the boiler as soon as the time comes.
