Hydrastep 2468 System Delta Mobrey

Failure to detect low water levels in steam-raising plant can have costly and potentially disastrous consequences. Reliable water level detection is vital to prevent damage to plant and personnel. The Hydrastep electronic gauging system is the ideal ‘fit and forget’ solution to overcome the problems associated with unreliable and maintenance- intensive gauge glasses. Designed for totally reliable operation, Hydrastep System is both fail-safe and fault tolerant.

Modern boilers are designed to provide clean, dry steam. Detection of incorrect water level in the drum is essential:

• Too high a level can give wet steam, leading to turbine blade erosion, and
• If the level is too low, the boiler tubes can overheat, with the danger of explosion.

All national legislatures require indication of water level in steam generating plant and drum level indication in the control room is absolutely necessary. Conversely however, false alarms leading to plant shutdown and loss of revenue are also highly undesirable. Hydrastep System offers exceptional levels of security. All measurements are interpreted as water, steam or contamination. Both short and open circuit conditions are detected and indicated as faults.

An independent report by Factory Mutual Research concluded that the probability of Hydrastep missing a trip condition is less than 1 in 300 million and that nuisance trips will be less than 1 in 10 million. Hydrastep combines optimum safety indication with virtually no risk of false alarms.
