How To Retube A Locomotive Boiler
Historically, many railroad companies used steam locomotives for transportation. Today, most steam locomotives are reserved for private rails, museums, and other charity organizations. As these systems age, they present several unique maintenance challenges that can arise due to the design and location of these units. Understanding the composition of locomotive boilers, as well as the maintenance needs, can make restoration jobs a little bit easier.

Advantages to Mechanical Tube Cleaning
Tube cleaning is a necessary part of any vessel maintenance process. Depending on the application, water, gases, and other caustic chemicals can be run through the unit. Overtime, these compounds cause deposit build-up inside of the tubes, resulting in a loss in operating efficiency.
When To Retube or Replace
To get the best performance out of a vessel it’s important that it maintains necessary operating capacity. While there are several preventative maintenance procedures that can prolong the life of the vessel, eventually a decision on retubing or replacing the unit will need to be made.
