WATER LEVEL INDICATOR Indicates the water level inside the boiler to an observer.

PRESSURE GAUGEo Used to measure the pressure of the steam inside the boiler.o Generally used are of Bourden type.

SAFETY VALVESo These are used to prevent explosions due to excessive internal pressure of steam. Lever safety valve
Dead weight safety valve
High steam and low water safety valve
Spring loaded safety valve

STEAM STOP VALVE1. To control the flow of
steam from the boiler to the main steam pipe.
2. To shut off the steam completely when required.

BLOW OFF COCKo The functions are
To empty the boiler whenever required. To discharge the mud, scale or sediments which are accumulated at the bottom of the boiler.

FEED CHECK VALVEo It is a non-return valve.o Its function is to regulate the supply of water, which is pumped into the boiler by the feed pump.

FUSIBLE PLUGo Its object is to put off fire in the furnace when water level falls to an unsafe limit.

BOILER ACCESSORIESo These are devices which are used as integral parts of a boiler, and help in running efficiently. Some important accessories are
Feed pumpSuperheaterEconomiserAir preheater

FEED PUMPo Double acting reciprocating pump is commonly used.o Pumps can be classified as simplex, duplex and triplex pumps according to the number of pump cylinders.

SUPERHEATERo Its purpose is to increase the temperature of saturated steam without rising its pressure.

ECONOMISERo It’s a device used to heat feed water by utilising the heat in the exhaust flue gas before leaving through the chimney.

AIR PREHEATERo It is used to recover heat from exhaust flue gases.oThe air required for the purpose of combustion is drawn through the preheater where its temperature is raised.oIt is installed between economiser and the chimney.
