🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of steam soot blowers and what happens when steam lines contain condensate (water) instead of dry steam • Effects of high-velocity wet steam on boiler components inside the furnace and gas passages • Where soot blower steam is directed: onto boiler tubes, refractory, and gas-side surfaces

💭 Think About

• Think about what is actually flowing through the soot blower when it is first opened, if the line has not been drained: is it dry steam, water, or a mixture? • Consider what high‑pressure water droplets or slugs of water would do if they were suddenly ejected at boiler internal surfaces. • Compare which choice best matches physical damage that could occur quickly from wet steam or water impact, rather than a slow operational issue.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option describes mechanical damage from impact/abrasion rather than normal operating losses or fouling. • Ask yourself which component (fuel flame, feedwater system, nozzles, or furnace lining) is directly exposed to the soot blower jet. • Confirm which effect would be most serious and immediate during the first moments of soot blower operation if the line is not properly drained.
