Scale is a problem all boilers have to deal with. Scale forms when boiler feedwater is not properly treated. Advanced scale formation acts as an insulator; only an eggshell thickness of scale results in a 10% efficiency loss, higher fuel bills and possible damage to the boiler system.
As standard equipment, all MIURA EX models are equipped with a thermocouple attached directly to a tube. Should scale begin to form, the MIURA boiler will alert the operator to the problem, allowing the operator to trace and repair the source of the water hardness. The boiler can then be acid rinsed to restore its original efficiencies - saving tens of thousands of dollars in wasted fuel and repair bills.
