The Forensic expert kollegium carries out expertise of boilers on liquid, gaseous and solid fuels.

Boiler installations, depending on the type of consumer, are divided into energy, production-heating and heating. By the type of heat carrier produced, they are divided into steam for generating steam and hot water for generating hot water. Power boiler plants generate steam for steam turbines at thermal power plants, such boiler houses are equipped, as a rule, with boilers of large and medium power, which produce steam of increased parameters. Industrial heating boiler plants are usually steam generates steam not only for industrial needs, but also for heating, ventilation and hot water supply.

The main danger arising from the operation of steam boiler equipment is the explosion of the boiler. Steam boiler explosions are essentially the instantaneous release of the energy of superheated water and the reduction of pressure to atmospheric. Based on the expert practice of the Forensic expert kollegium, the most common causes of an explosion are:

• excess pressure due to faulty safety valves;
• lowering the water level when the cooling of the heated boiler walls with water stops;
• physical wear of boiler parts and welded joints due to long-term operation;
• violation of technical requirements for operation;
• engineering flaws and inconsistency of the material with the design parameters.

The main reasons for the inoperability (malfunction) of boilers on liquid, solid and gaseous fuels are:

• inadequate arrangement of feed water inlets and connection of recirculation pipes;
• inappropriate design of the heated elements of the boiler;
• improper arrangement of gas ducts;
• defects of safety devices for furnaces and gas ducts;
• inconsistency of the burner devices with the design (type) of the boiler;
• inconsistency of the connection of boiler equipment with the wiring diagrams of the manufacturer;
• violation of the rules for placing boilers in the room;
• violation of the rules for the safe operation of boiler equipment.
