23 BOILER SPARE PARTS EVERY BOILER

ROOM SHOULD HAVE ON HAND


An important part of maintaining your critical infrastructure is
ensuring you have parts on hand in the event of an unexpected failure
of your critical equipment.

Having spare parts for your boiler’s mission critical components is a


great way to avoid costly downtime when something fails. You will
also potentially save money on emergency calls, expedited shipping,
and extended unplanned downtime.

The following pages contain a simple checklist you can use to track
your spare parts inventory.

Note: This is a general list. You should check with your service
provider about any specific long lead or hard to procure items that
might also be beneficial to have available.

NOTES:

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Before making a purchase decision on any boiler spare parts,
consider the cost to carry vs the cost of downtime. While downtime
is generally very expensive, this should still be considered on a
case by case and equipment specific basis. If, for example, your
facility has full boiler redundancy, this could reduce the need to
keep all manner of spares on hand. Likewise, if your facility is very
near suppliers who regularly carry these parts, this may be less of
an issue under normal circumstances. Ensure your facility has a
contingency plan with contingency boiler connections and you will
have a robust set of options when problems occur.

One good way to approach this is to first identify the most critical
components of your system. Then determine the associated costs
of carrying that component. Finally, consider the space available
to store that item verses the lead time required to obtain that item
should an emergency arise. If the item has a long lead time and you
have the storage capabilities, you should carry the spare part. These
days, even seemingly easy to acquire parts with shipping time of a
few days can cause an unnecessary prolonged outage.

CONCLUSION
The quantity and type of replacement parts you need will vary
depending on the application. For instance, critical facilities like
hospitals or manufacturing plants that cannot afford a boiler to be
down require a large in-house spare part stock of fuses, selected
controls, heating elements, and gaskets.

Additionally, it is best to consider the cost of downtime, storage


space, the shelf life of the parts, and storage cost before purchasing
boiler spare parts. Also consider redundancy and the critical aspects
of your operations before investing I a large stockpile of spare parts.
Finally, develop a relationship with your local service provider. Work
with your trusted service provider to establish a regularly scheduled
maintenance plan and ensure that you have a trusted partner in the
event of an emergency.
