Performance Audit for Aalborg boilers

Performance Audit for Alfa Laval Aalborg boilers is a service for assessing your Aalborg boiler system and determining its actual performance. It can be used when the performance of the boiler system - or of specific components within it - is degraded or in need of tuning, and/or when troubleshooting is required to restore operation.

The information the Performance Audit provides can be used to predict your boiler's future status and to optimize preventive maintenance, as well as to identify possible upgrades and operational improvements

The service can be used at any point in your boiler's life cycle. Above all, your boiler's burner and control system should be checked on a regular basis. Over time the performance of the boiler changes, which may lead to less efficient combustion. Inspecting the burner and adjusting it for optimized performance is part of the Performance Audit. 

The service can be performed anywhere in the world, even at short notice. All work is carried out on board by a skilled Alfa Laval field service engineer - in port, at a shipyard or at sea during your vessel's normal operation.
