Document Summary

Fuse and block are inside a box which is attached on the outside wall of the shell. they are the electric protection of the system. The water level can be observed by the gauge class. They are operated automatically according to the signal about water level. The water must cover all the tubes in order to provide a proper heat transfer. High level valve opens when the water level is too high. Because the steam is likely to carry out water particles from the water. Low level valve opens when the water level is too low. Because the heat may damage the tubes if there is no water to take way the heat. It stops the pump when there is enough water. A blowdown valve is used to remove some of the concentrated water containing solid chemicals which may increase the conductivity of the feed water.
