how many safeties should be present in boiler?what are they?

Answer Posted / bhola shnaker

there are 2 to 6 numbers of safety valves (SVs) on the boiler.
Around 2 Nos on Drum, of one high and one low setpoint.
Around 2 Nos on Superheater Steam Line of one high and one low setpoint.(but less then Drum SV setpoint, to avoid starvation of SH main steam line)
around 2 Nos on reheater line (if reheater is provided)
Apart from it 1 No of EMRV on the HP superheater line, setpoints below that of Safety valves of the lines.

Also we have Relief valves on he HP econimiser, which acts as a Over protection valve (against Pressure)

Remember SVs are Differnt from Relief valves, as RVs are used on liquid whereas SVs are used on Steam line.

DCS marshaling Cabinet Power supply can be replace during plant running time? Answer Yes it is possible. I am talking about the controller and cards power supply modules.

MY question is how switching done.
