Title of micro project:-Prepare Report on
different boiler mountings
Brief
introduction:–
The various boiler mountings and accessories that are used in
steam boilers are water level indicator, pressure
gauge, safety valves, stop valve; blow off Valve, feed check valve, fusible
plug, air pre-heater, super heater,
economizer and feed pump. The boiler mounting and accessories are used
in steam boilers for its proper, efficient and satisfactory working. In this article, we will discuss the functions of each of
them
Aim of Micro-Project:-
·
To study the working and function of mounting
& accessories in boiler.

FUNCTION, LOCATION, AND WORKING OF
MOUNTINGS AND ACCESSORIES.
A) SAFETY VALVE: The function of the safety valve
is to permit the steam in the boiler to escape to the atmosphere when pressure in the steam space in the
boiler. The safety valve operates in . – the principle that a valve is pressed against its seat
through some agency such as start, screw or spring by external weight or
force, when the steam force due to boiler pressure acting under the valve
exceeds the external force, the valve gets lifted off its seat and some of the
steam rushes out until normal pressure is restored again.
‘WATER LEVEL INDICATOR:
The
function of the water level indicator is to ascertain constantly exactly the
level of water in the boiler shell. It is fitted in the front of the boiler
from where easily visible to the operator. he unit consists of a strong
glass tube whose ends pass through stuffing boxes consisting of heat
resisting rubber packing to prevent leakage steam and air. The flanges are bolted to front end plate of
the boiler, the upper flange being fitted to e steam space
and the lower to water space
in the boiler.
FUSIBLE PLUG: The function
of the fusible plug is to extinguish the fire in the event of the boiler shell failing
below a certain specified limit. We know that when the water on heating transforms
into steam, the level of water in the boil. If the water is not
replenished and the steam generation continues then the parts, which
have been uncovered by water uncovered by water may get overheated and subsequently
are melted. To safeguard against this eventuality
we use fusible plug.
has to be provided with a pressure gauge, which record the pressure at
which the steam is being generated in the boiler.

6. Feed Check Valve
It is non-return valve and fitted to a screwed spindle to
regulate the lift.
It is
fitted to the shell slightly below the normal water level of the boiler. A
boiler must have its spindle lifted before the pump is
started.
