The term may also be applied to raw water intended for use in boilers, treated boiler feedwater , steam condensate being returned to a boiler, or boiler blowdown being removed from a boiler.

  3. Sight glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_glass

    Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.

    Water level indicators: They show the operator the level of fluid in the boiler, also known as a sight glass, water gauge or water column. Bottom blowdown valves: They provide a means for removing solid particulates that condense and lie on the bottom of a boiler.

  5. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    The water is blown out of the boiler with some force by steam pressure within the boiler. Bottom blowdown used with early boilers caused abrupt downward adjustment of boiler water level and was customarily expelled downward to avoid the safety hazard of showering hot water on nearby individuals.

  6. Steam drum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_drum

    Its accessories include a safety valve, water-level indicator and level controller. Feed-water of boiler is also fed to the steam drum through a feed pipe extending inside the drum, along the length of the steam drum. A steam drum is used without or in the company of a mud-drum/feed water drum which is located at a lower level.

  7. Boiler feedwater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater

    Boiler water is treated to prevent scaling, corrosion, foaming, and priming. Chemicals are put into boiler water through the chemical feed tank to keep the water within chemical range. These chemicals are mostly oxygen scavengers and phosphates. The boiler water also has frequent blowdowns in order to keep the chloride content down.

  9. Priming (steam locomotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priming_(steam_locomotive)

    The regulator is placed high in the dome of a boiler, as the best location to avoid priming. Priming is a condition in the boiler of a steam locomotive in which water is carried over into the steam delivery. It may be caused by impurities in the water, which foams up as it boils, or simply too high a water level.
