Boiler Feedwater Control Valve

The Boiler Feedwater control valve plays a critical role in regulating the inflow of water into the boiler drum to sustain steam production and maintain optimal water levels. As steam is released from the boiler to the header and other process equipment, water must continuously flow into the boiler drum to replace it. This ensures a consistent steam-to-water ratio and operational stability.

Achieving this balance involves a sophisticated control scheme that typically includes both flow control and level control loops. The feedwater control valve, also known as the drum level control valve, serves as the primary mechanism for managing water flow into the boiler. Its precise operation is essential for maintaining efficient boiler performance and ensuring safe and reliable steam generation for industrial processes.
