    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    A steam boiler evaporates liquid water to form steam, or gaseous water, and requires frequent replenishment of boiler feedwater for the continuous production of steam required by most boiler applications. Water is a capable solvent, and will dissolve small amounts of solids from piping and containers including the boiler.

    Automatic blowdown/continuous heat recovery system: This system allows the boiler to blowdown only when makeup water is flowing to the boiler, thereby transferring the maximum amount of heat possible from the blowdown to the makeup water. No flash tank is generally needed as the blowdown discharged is close to the temperature of the makeup water.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_water_treatment

    Internal treatment within the boiler is focused on limiting the tendency of water to dissolve the boiler, and maintaining impurities in forms least likely to cause trouble before they can be removed from the boiler in boiler blowdown. Deaerator is used to reduce oxygen and nitrogen in boiler feed water applications.

    blowdown (or blow-off) cocks, which allow water to be ejected from the boiler to avoid concentration of impurities remaining after evaporation of steam. [3]: 8 Whistle Steam powered whistle, located on top of the boiler and used for signalling (by the number and length of notes) and warning of approach. [2] [5] [6]: 247–248 [3]: 96
