本出版物的目的是让工业、商业和机构（ICI）锅炉的工程师、采购商和运营商了解ABMA对锅炉水质、锅炉运行和锅炉性能之间关系的判断。本文件作为设备制造商提供的详细操作手册的补充，作为一般指南发布。还应注意，所提供的信息针对的是钢制锅炉设计，而不是铸铁分段或铜翅片管锅炉。此外，需要对水质和蒸汽纯度进行严格控制的电站锅炉和联合循环锅炉不属于本文件的主题。该新文件结合了之前的两份ABMA指南文件，即“商用锅炉的锅炉水要求和相关蒸汽纯度”（1998年）和“水管锅炉的锅炉水限值和可实现蒸汽纯度”（1995年）。 本文件讨论了各种给水和冷凝水系统对锅炉运行的影响。它还提供有关锅炉水和蒸汽测试以及系统维护和维护的信息。 人们认识到，锅炉的具体使用和水处理会有所不同，可能需要不同于这些建议的值。因此，锅炉用户需要为其特定应用定义限制、设备和操作参数。这些建议仅供参考。每个人都可以自由接受或拒绝这些建议的结论，因为他们自己的判断保证了他们业务的各个方面。 ABMA不代表或保证任何特定锅炉将达到所述的任何蒸汽纯度水平。

The purpose of this publication is to acquaint engineers, purchasers and operators of industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) boilers with ABMA's judgment as to the relationship between boiler water quality, boiler operation, and boiler performance. This document is published for general guidance as a supplement to detailed operating manuals supplied by the equipment manufacturers. It should also be noted that the information presented is directed to steel boiler designs, as opposed to cast iron sectional or copper finned tube boilers. Furthermore Utility Boilers and Combined Cycle Boilers, which require extremely close control of water quality and steam purity, are not the topic of this document.This new document combines two previous ABMA Guideline documents, namely "Boiler Water Requirements and Associated Steam Purity for Commercial Boilers" (1998), and "Boiler Water Limits and Achievable Steam Purity for Watertube Boilers", (1995).The document discusses the effect of various feedwater and condensate systems on the boiler operation. It also provides information on boiler water and steam testing as well as system care and maintenance. It is recognized that specific boiler usage and water treatment will vary and may require values different from these recommendations. Boiler users therefore, need to define limits, equipment and operating parameters for their particular application.These recommendations are for information only. Everyone is free to accept or reject the conclusions of these suggestions as their own judgment warrants in all aspects of the conduct of their business. The ABMA does not represent or warrant that any level of steam purity depicted will be achieved by any particular boiler or boilers.
