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 LX models are equipped with a thermocouple attached directly to a tube. Should scale begin to form, the MIURA boiler will alert the operator - allowing the operator to trace and repair the source of the water hardness. The scale can be removed to restore the boiler to its original efficiencies - savings tens of thousands of dollars in wasted fuel and repair bills.
