 Boiler Operation Engineer Interview Question - 14 Q.How do you identify the leakage of economizer tube ? What is its effect ? Ans.  An economizer tube leakage can be detected by sound or increased make up water requirements. The leak should be investigated at the earliest possible time and the unit to be shut down in a normal manner. Water leaks in the economizer can cause considerable erosion damage to adjacent tubes. Water carried over from an economizer tube leak may lead to cold end corrosion also. Read More BOE Interview Questions   What are the factors which affect the Natural circulation ?
