Water Level Indicator:
Functions of a water level indicator in Boiler:
➠ When steam cock and water cock opened, steam rushes from upper passage and water rushed from lower from passage to the glass tube.
➠ This will indicate the level of water in the boiler.
Functions of a water level indicator in Boiler:
➠ It indicate the water level inside the boiler vessel. It shows the level in the boiler drum.
➠ Normally two water level indicator
are fitted into the boiler.
➠ These are fitted at the front end side of every
boiler.

Working Principles of a water level Indicator:
➠ This will indicate the level of water in the boiler.
➠ Two ball are places at the junction of metal tube. Under normal operating condition the ball are kept.
➠ Full line circle in case the glass tube is broken, steam will rushes from upper passage and water from lower passage due to pressure difference between boiler pressure at atmospheric pressure.
➠ The ball are carrier along the passage to and of glass tube and then closed passages.
➠ This position of ball sown in fig by dotted circle. Thus flow of water and steam out of boiler is prevented.
