What is the purpose of blow off cock?

Answer: To remove the concentrated solid precipitates at the drum bottom.


The amount of the boiler blowdown depends on (or is governed) by the allowable solids concentration and purity of water.


The blow-off cock is located at the bottom of the boiler and it is a boiler mounting.

That is boiler must have a blow-off cock installed upon it.
