Allow the boiler to fire until the steam pressure or water temperature reaches the setting of the high-limit control The control should operate at this point and shut down the firing equipment If the test is okay disconnect the power and remove the test lead Reset the high-limit control and

Pressure gauge and regulator: Monitors pressure and shuts off the fuel supply to the boiler if the preset pressure level is exceeded; Temperature and pressure relief valve: Releases steam if the pressure gauge/regulator fails and pressure builds dangerously high inside the boiler; Water level sight glass: Clear glass tube that reveals the water level in the boiler; Low-water cutoff: Shuts off the system if the

Once the steam has been employed in the process the resulting condensate needs to be drained from the plant and returned to the boiler house Pressure reduction As mentioned before steam is usually generated at high pressure and the pressure may have to be reduced at the point of use either because of the pressure limitations of the plant or the temperature limitations of the process This is achieved

Depending upon the design pressure of boiler the various safety valves in the boiler are set to open at a particular pressure called the set pressure Until the system pressure reaches the set pressure the valve will not open or leak This is achieved by the safety valve designers by adopting a patented disk design Once the valve pops or opens the pressure in the system may still raise Because of this the safety

· Since you can use the #150 on boilers rated up to 150 psi the people at the factory set the control under high-pressure conditions The high pressure compresses the controller's bellows and affects the vertical distance between the "pump-on" and the "low-water cutoff" points If you use the #150 on a low-pressure boiler however the bellows will lengthen and by doing so shorten the vertical
