  2. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    Bottom blowdown involves periodically opening valves in the mud drum to allow boiler pressure to force accumulated sludge out of the boiler. Similar blowdown connections at the bottom of water wall headers are blown down less frequently. [4] Several short blowdown events remove sludge more effectively than a single continuous blowdown.

    The multiple-valve superheater header was of the Melesco type. The boiler was fitted with four Ross-pop safety valves, each 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (64 millimetres) in diameter, and two Hopkinson boiler blowdown cocks on the firebox wrapper, one on each side. Feedwater was delivered to the boiler by two Friedmann vertical type non-lifting injectors ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_boiler_terms

    A blow-down valve mounted at the water-level of a boiler, used to blow down lighter oily or foamy deposits within a boiler that float on the water-level. Sludge another term for mud. Smokebox an enclosed space at the extremity of a fire-tube boiler, where the exhaust gases from the tubes are combined and pass to the flue or chimney. Snifting valve

  5. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    A blowdown valve (BDV) is a type of shutdown valve designed to depressurize a pressure vessel by directing vapour to a flare, vent or blowdown stack in an emergency. BDVs fail-safe to the open position upon failure of the control system. [1] The type of valve, type of actuation and performance measurement are similar to an ESD valve.

  6. Blowdown stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowdown_stack

    Blowdown from several systems may be combined in a blowdown header prior to the stack. A knock-out pot may be provided at the base of the stack to remove any liquids. Blowdown stacks may either be ignited (like a flare) or un-ignited (a ‘cold’ vent). The height of the blowdown stack must be tall enough to ensure the safe dispersal of vapour.

  7. Process plant shutdown systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_plant_shutdown_systems

    A depressurization system comprises an actuated valve and a restriction orifice. The BDV valve is normally held in the closed position but opens on demand or on failure of the actuator. A restriction orifice (RO) downstream of the BDV is sized to achieve the desired blowdown rate. A locked-open valve may be located downstream of the orifice.

  8. Blowout preventer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_preventer

    A blowout preventer (BOP) (pronounced B-O-P) [1] is a specialized valve or similar mechanical device, used to seal, control and monitor oil and gas wells to prevent blowouts, the uncontrolled release of crude oil or natural gas from a well. They are usually installed in stacks of other valves.

  9. Blowoff valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

    A blowoff valve is designed to release pressure in the intake system when the throttle is closed. A "recirculating" type blowoff valve releases the pressurised air back into the non-pressurized section of the intake (i.e. upstream of the turbocharger), while an "atmospheric venting" type blowoff valve dumps the air directly into the atmosphere.
