Abstract

Examples described herein include methods and systems for operating a sootblower for removing deposits from heat transfer surfaces of a boiler. A temperature change of a boiler fluid at one location on its flow path may be calculated during no more than substantially one stroke of the sootblower. The sootblower may then be operating using a frequency of use or a steam output selected based, at least in part, on the calculated temperature change. The temperature change of the boiler fluid during all or a portion of the sootblower stroke may be used as a relative measure of a deposition rate in the vicinity of the sootblower.
