What is the operating pressure for testing rotary soot blowers as per PMS?

The operating pressure for testing rotary soot blowers, as outlined in the Planned Maintenance System (PMS), is 300 psi plus or minus 25 psi. This specification is crucial because it ensures that the soot blowers operate effectively and maintain optimal performance while preventing potential damage due to excessive pressure. Testing at this specified range allows for a thorough evaluation of the system's integrity and functionality, ensuring that any weaknesses or faults can be identified and addressed. Maintaining the correct pressure during testing is essential for safe operations and to fulfill maintenance requirements that align with operational readiness.
