Estudio diagnóstico de la caldera y sus equipos para la creación del plan de mantenimiento preventivo basado en condición

Abstract

Steam in many companies is a necessary input for the various production plants to function properly, in the same way, the consumption of electrical energy is an important cost within companies, so self-sustainability in this area can become very important. The boiler object of this diagnosis was intended to cover the demand for steam and energy, but it has been presenting constant problems that force it to stop its operation and therefore limits the production of the other plants of the company, that is why it is necessary to have a diagnosis that can help create a preventive maintenance plan to avoid these unscheduled shutdowns and increase the useful life of each of the critical equipment that makes up the boiler. This project carried out the diagnosis of the critical equipment that make up the boiler, using the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The process and function of each equipment was described, the block diagram of each component was made and there functions were defined and their functional failures were analyzed, managing to identify the root cause and defining the consequences of failure. Finally, the project yielded the diagnoses and analysis of the critical equipment, thus allowing to select tasks and define the inspection periodicity in each one of them and thus provide the necessary information for the initial conformation of the boiler maintenance plan. .
