On a steam vessel with two high pressure boilers, one suspects a superheater leak. How would you determine which boiler may be leaking and what would be the indication(s)?
A
Increased boiler make-up water consumption, increased opening of that boiler's feed water valve, and/or unusual control signals to that boiler's feed water valve.
B
Decreased superheated steam temperature from the effected boiler and reduction in boiler water chemical concentration.
C
Hissing noises from boiler casing in way of the superheater headers and/or evidence of water leaking from casing doors.
D
Increased boiler water make-up consumption and a loss of boiler water treatment chemical concentration in the effected boiler.
