    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    Several short blowdown events remove sludge more effectively than a single continuous blowdown. Shorter blowdown events cause less significant changes in boiler water level, and are safer during periods of high steam demand. [5] Bottom blowdown piping drains the lowest parts of the boiler so it can be used to drain the boiler for servicing.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_plug

    A fusible plug operates as a safety valve when dangerous temperatures, rather than dangerous pressures, are reached in a closed vessel. In steam boilers the fusible plug is screwed into the crown sheet (the top plate) of the firebox, typically extending about 1 in (25 mm) into the water space above it. Its purpose is to act as a last-resort ...
