The presence of oxygen, and other non-condensable gases, in the feed water is a major
cause of corrosion in the feed water piping, boiler, and condensate piping line. The
dissolved oxygen content of the feed water is a major factor of corrosion in boiler. Low pH
levels in feed water cause severe acid attack throughout the boiler system.The remove of
desolved gasses and oxygen process is known as deaeration. There are two types of
deaeration is generally happen as chemical deaeration and mechanical deaeration. The
main function of deaerator is -
1)Removing the dissolved gases to prevent corrosion feed water heated.
2) Work as a feed water storage tank.
3) Increase thermal efficiency.
4) Provide required Net positive suction head to feed water pump.

The working principle of an Deaerator

Gas solubility in a solution decreases as the gas partial pressure above the
solution simple we can say that The solubility of any gas dissolved in a liquid is
directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. Solubility of gases
decrease with increase in solution temperature and or decrease in pressure.

The second principle state that ,deaeration is the relationship between gas
solubility and temperature. Easily explained, gas solubility in a solution decreases
as the temperature of the solution rises and approaches saturation temperature

Deaerators come in various types

Tray type

Plate type

Spray type

Vacuum type

Deaerators do not vibrate in normal operation. However it is possible for them to vibrate
when flows of steam and water exceed the space available for them to flow.

This happens when feed water temperature drops below design and steam flow increases
to make up for the heat lost.

In the original design of dearators this is very rare but refineries have been trying to
increase efficiency by recovering low level heat into dearator feed and this reduces the
steam flow requiring the stripper section of the dearator to be modified. If the heat
recovery stops the dearator requires more steam than will fit in the modified passages.

As a result the dearator will vibrate. /
