What is the recommended action when a boiler shows signs of excessive pressure?

When a boiler shows signs of excessive pressure, the recommended action is to initiate safety protocols, including shutting down the boiler. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of the equipment and preventing potential hazards, such as explosions or structural failure. Excessive pressure can indicate underlying issues, such as a malfunctioning pressure relief valve or a blockage in the system, both of which require immediate attention.

By shutting down the boiler and following established safety protocols, operators can safely assess and address the problem. This may involve allowing the system to cool, inspecting for any faults, and ensuring that all safety mechanisms are functioning correctly before restarting operations. Maintaining safety is always the top priority when dealing with high-pressure systems, and this approach allows for a controlled and secure response to excessive pressure situations.
