The steam ladle is a cylindrical pressure vessel used to separate steam from water and purify steam from the boiler, form a water circulation loop, and store boiler water.
Its main function is to receive water from the coal economizer, separate steam and water, supply water to the circulation loop, and deliver saturated steam to the superheater.
The steam ladle contains a certain amount of water with a certain amount of heat and work savings. When the working conditions change, it can slow down the rate of change of steam pressure, and when the water supply and load are not coordinated in the short term, it can play a certain buffering role.
The steam ladle is equipped with internal steam and water separation, steam cleaning, boiler dosing, continuous drainage, and other devices to ensure the quality of steam.
The steam ladle is the largest and most expensive thick-walled pressure-bearing part of the boiler. The ladle is not only subjected to high internal pressure, but also to thermal stress due to fluctuations in wall temperature caused by changes in operating conditions. As a result, the working conditions are poor and require effective monitoring of operating conditions
In fact, to measure the level of the boiler steam ladle, choose the guided wave radar level meter. The guided wave radar level meter needs direct contact with the medium, and the radar wave is transmitted and reflected through the guided wave rod and the guided wave line, which has the advantages of low maintenance, high performance, high accuracy, high reliability, and long service life compared with other traditional level meters.
The transmission of microwave signals is not affected by the atmosphere and can meet the requirements of harsh environments such as volatile gases, high temperature, high pressure, steam, vacuum, and high dust in the process, so it is suitable for the level measurement of boiler ladles.
The above are suggestions for boiler ladle level measurement, which involve the selection of a level meter, and ultimately, a specific analysis of specific problems.
