Jun 08, 2016 · The question remains why 3 element and why not 2 elements. Suppose we have 2 element control which directly control flowrate of boiler feed water (by opening/closing control valve) based on the level in steam drum in cascade mode. If level in steam drum decrease, control valve opening will increase to increase the flowrate of feed water.

Read MoreThe three element drum water level control is suitable for the use of variable feedwater pressure or multiple boilers with multiple feedwater pumps. In this design, three elements are used to control the level, steam and feedwater flow, respectively. This system offers much better and improved drum water level control than any other system.
Read MoreBoiler 3 element feed water level control system is shown in fig. Signal from the steam flow and feed flow is compared in the differential relay. The differential relay output and drum level signal goes to controller and comparator. Any deviation from the actual drum level or steam and feed water flow results in controller action .

Read MoreMar 14, 2019 · Three-element boiler water level control systems are sometimes refereed to as "feed forward" control. This is because the system identifies a transient high demand for steam before it has any effect on the boiler water level, and therefore starts to put extra water into the boiler in anticipation of demand. In this control philosophy, there are three process variables. 1. …
