VCI Powder Dosage for Fire-tube Boilers
Notes:
1) These recommendations are reasonable for typical fire-tube boilers (CB, Kewanee, Superior, York Shipley, and Johnston). Use the higher-end recommendation for long-term lay-up and/or for the higher-end horse power range.
2) Due to various water-tube boiler designs and configurations, you will need to get the information on a case by case basis.
3) In fire-tube boilers blow in the dry powder so it is spread out horizontally along the belly. In water-tube boilers blow in the dry powder so it is spread out vertically (i.e., mud drum and steam drum). This will optimize distribution of VCIs.
