why not maintain 7.0 ph in boiler ,when 7.0 is not acidic & not basic so why maintain 9+ ph?..

At the high temperatures water with Ph value 7 will act as
an acid. So that we will always maintain the Ph valve in
Higher side based on the type of water used and the
application.

Answer / surya

Alkalinity measures the ability of a solution to neutralize acids to the equivalence point of carbonate or bicarbonate. This is the main reason we are maintaining PH at higher side rather than near the margin (<7 is acid). so that it provide optimum corrosion control and also provides sufficient alkalinity to avoid the precipitation of any residual scale forming compounds.

Answer / ganesh r.k

Water with 7.0 ph is acidic in nature. this will in
increase the corrossion tendency in boiler shell so we have
to keep the ph value between 8 to 9
