The erosion rate of convection surfaces is crucial for boiler reliability. This paper presents the impact of the action of a sootblowing stream (steam and air) jet on the sustainability of tubes. The model investigations described here compared the erosion rates of a tube bank while turning on or off an additional jet stream of compressed air that simulates the operation of a sootblower. This paper presents calculations for the erosion loss of a heat exchanger built in the actual object.
