Boiler Instrumentation and Controls

abstract

Instrumentation and controls in a boiler plant encompass an
enormous range of equipment from simple industrial plant to the complex
in the large utility station.
The boiler control system is the means by which the balance of
energy & mass into and out of the boiler are achieved. Inputs are fuel,
combustion air, atomizing air or steam &feed water. Of these, fuel is the
major energy input. Combustion air is the major mass input, outputs are
steam, flue gas, blowdown, radiation & soot blowing.
