The test is achieved by lowering the float to the low water alarm level, by the following means: The float rod includes a cup above the float, which is fed for approximately 24 seconds with water from the boiler feedpump, via small bore pipework and valves, through the control mounting flange (see Figure 3.19.6).

Low water alarm - For safe boiler operation, the low water alarm ensures that the combustion of fuel does not continue if the water level in the boiler has dropped to, or below a predetermined level. For automatically controlled steam boilers, national standards usually call for two independent low level alarms, to ensure safety.

For example, a steam drum that is operating at normal water level has the bottom half of the drum cooled by water and the top half by air initially and steam eventually. If one starts to fire the boiler from a cold start, the water will heat up very quickly in the drum and the bottom half of the drum will expand much more quickly than the top half which is not in contact with water.

1. Priming - This is the ejection of boiler water into the steam take-off and is generally due to one or more of the following: -Operating the boiler with too high a water level. -Operating the boiler below its design pressure; this increases the volume and the velocity of the steam released from the water surface.

Where boilers are operated without constant supervision (which includes the majority of industrial boilers) low water level alarms are required to shut down the boiler in the event of a lack of water in the boiler. Low level may be caused by: A feedwater shortage in the feedtank. Failure of a feedpump. Accidental isolation of the feedwater line.

The water level can easily rise so high that water is literally sucked into the steam line. Eventually, the loss of boiler water can cause the low-water level alarm to sound. In some cases, this water loss can be so rapid that the boiler will shut down upon producing
