Boiler Failures or Explosions?

What would the most likely time a boiler would fail: Start up and low load, Start up and high load, Shut down and low load, or Shut down and high load. I would think the type of fuel would matter(coal or gas). This is how the question was asked to me and any help would be appreciated.

  • Are you talking boiler failure

    or are you talking about a fuel related explosion?

    That is a good question. It is related to steam, condensate, and the fuel used. Not a fuel related explosion, but a low water or banking condition of the boiler. Thanks.
