BOILER ACCESSORIES

WATCH ACCESSORIES
WATER LEVEL INDICATORS
Every boiler must be provided at least two gauges mutually independent water. One must be
direct observation of water level, glass tube type, the other format can be a series of three test
taps or keys.
PRESSURE INDICATORS
Every boiler must be provided with one or more gauges, which will be connected to the steam
chamber of the boiler through a pipe forming a water seal.
GAS ANALYSERS
They are devices used to control the combustion quality inside the home, through the analysis of
the gases leaving the chimney.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TEMPERATURE INDICATORS
Are instruments designed to measure the temperature either of the feedwater, steam, gas oil
burning, etc.
SAFETY ACCESSORIES
SAFETY VALVES
It aims to release bursts of steam from the boiler when it exceeds the maximum operating
pressure.
PLUG FUSE
The fusible plug is an element that allows the passage of steam and water to the home, when
the water level in the boiler falls beyond the minimum allowed.
ALARMS
Every boiler shall have an alarm system, audible or visual, that works when the water level
reaches the minimum or maximum, while stopping the operation of the combustion system,
when the minimum water level is reached.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ACCESSORIES WATER SUPPLY

PUMPS
This accessory like nozzle, allows us to replace the water that has been vaporized inside the
boiler. Among these, we centrifugal pumps and piston.
INYECTORS
Injectors are devices that operate with the same steam producing boiler and capable of
discharging water to a pressure higher than the internal pressure of the boiler.
CLEANING ACCESSORIES
INSPECTION DOORS
Depending on their size man called doors or manhole covers. The latter only allow the passage of
an arm. Both doors used to perform cleaning or inspection inside the main manifolds or tubes
according to their location.

PETCOCKS
Among the keys to purge valves can be distinguished background subtraction and extraction
surface. The first one is located in the lower parts of the boiler and used to remove
sludge or sludge from the vaporization of the action of hard water and use of
descaling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CONTROL ACCESSORIES
RETARDERS
They consist of a flat sheet, the same width as the tube inner diameter, helically twisted, which
gets into the boiler tube.
The hot gases have to travel far greater path, being slower pace them through the inside of the
tubes and providing more heat to the water. The boiler efficiency is increased by between 2%
and 8% with the use of retarders.
SWITCHES
They are accessories that work based on the minimum and maximum working pressure of the
boiler. They are acting on the burner, turning it off when you reach the maximum pressure for
which it was regulated by turning to reach the minimum desired pressure.
THERMOSTAT
They are accessories operating according to the water temperature. Off the burner when the
maximum temperature to which was regulated is obtained.
WATER LEVEL CONTROL
The water level controls, are intended to control the water in the boiler is maintained at a value
or a predetermined range.
FLAME CONTROL
By a photoelectric cell it is controlled flame (its length) stopping the fuel supply, if it does not
exist in the home.
