The document is a presentation about boiler instrumentation and control. It discusses the basic components and functions of boilers, including generating steam through heat transfer. It also describes different types of boiler mountings, accessories, and classifications such as fire tube versus water tube boilers. The presentation covers boiler control loop systems, including single element, two element, and three element control loops. It concludes with goals of boiler control and potential future uses of microcontrollers and programmable logic controllers.

To generate steam at a desired pressure and temperature by
transferring heat to water to change it to steam, produced
by burning fuel .
Inputs are fuel, combustion air, atomizing air or steam &
feed water.
Outputs are steam, flue gas, blow down, radiation & soot
blowing.
It can be classified in various ways: -

5. CONTROL LOOP SYSTEM
5GLOBAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
For the generation of steam to be continuous, it follows that the control
also should be continuous and the needed adjustments for air flow, fuel
flow, water flow, etc., should be adjusted simultaneously.
It contain several variables with interaction occurring among the control
loops for fuel, combustion air, & feedwater.
Control loops used for boilers may be of the pressure, temperature, liquid
level type, or flow type.
Major loops in boiler control are:
1) Combustion control
2) Feedwater control
A typical control loop includes a controlled variable sensor, controlled
variable transmitter, controller, automatic-manual control station, and
final control element.

7. SINGLE ELEMENT CONTROL
SYSTEM
Utilizes just a level transmitter
to maintain control of the
boiler drum water level.
Controls feed water flow
based on drum level.
Measures drum level and
regulates feedwater flow to
maintain that level.
Used for small boilers having
relatively high storage
volumes and slow changing
loads.
Response is very slow.

8. TwO ELEMENT bOILER CONTROL
LOOP
Utilizes a level transmitter &
the amount of steam flow from
the boiler to maintain control
of the boiler drum water level.
Provides compensation for
variable loads.
Used in intermediate boilers as
well as large boilers.
Flow and level transmitters are
summed by a computing relay
and will be the set point for
feedwater.
Response is faster.

9. THREE ElEmEnT boilER ConTRol
looP
Utilizes a level transmitter, the amount
of steam flow from the boiler and the
amount of water into the boiler to
maintain control of the boiler drum
water level.
Corrects the problems associated with
a two element control system and
provides the best method of
compensating for variable loads.
The level and steam flow signals are
summed and used as an index or set
point to the feedwater flow.
The feedwater flow measurement
provides corrective action for variation
in feedwater pressure.

FIRE TUBE BOILERS
Simple, compact and rugged in construction.
Classified as vertical and horizontal tube
boilers.
Since the water volume is more, circulation will
be poor. So they can't meet quickly the changes
in steam demand.
High pressures of steam are not possible.
Maximum pressure can be attained is about
17.5kg/sq cm.
The output of the boiler is also limited.
eg. Cochran, Lancashire, Cornish,
Locomotive boilers

WATER TUBE BOILERS
Movement of water in the water tubes is high, so
rate of heat transfer also becomes high resulting in
greater efficiency.
Produce high pressure.
Easily accessible and can respond quickly to
changes in steam demand.
Less weight and less liable to explosion.
Attain pressure as high as 125 kg/sq cm and
temperatures from 315 to 575 centigrade.
Classified as vertical, horizontal and inclined tube
depending on the arrangement of the tubes.
Ex. Babcock and Wilcox boiler, Stirling boiler .

The various goals of boiler control include:
a) To minimize excess air.
b) To minimize blow down.
c) To minimize steam pressure.
d) To measure efficiency.
e) To find when to perform maintenance.
In future, we can also use Microcontrollers & PLC as a controllers.
