What is Mobrey? Mobrey  is the name used for the  Automatic water level controller , it comes under the category of mountings and fittings of  Steam Boiler Assembly . As the name suggests, it is used for maintaining the water level in the Boiler shell. It is mostly used in  smoke tube steam boilers  not in  water tube boilers , as the shell diameter of the former is greater than that of latter irrespective of their running capacities and working pressures. We at  Thermodyne Boilers  had supplied and installed successfully these Mobrey (automatic water level controllers) to all our clients. For  smoke tube boilers , mobrey is fitted externally on the nozzles coming out of the s team boiler  shell curvature.  It consists of a hollow cylindrical unit in which a float hangs. So, when the feed pump works, it supplies feed water to the boiler shell and it gets filled up. From those nozzles, the water also enters the hollow cylin...

So, when the feed pump works, it supplies feed water to the boiler shell and it gets filled up. From those nozzles, the water also enters the hollow cylindrical pipe of the mobrey, as a result, the float goes up. Now during the operation of the Steam Boiler, the water gets heated up and gets converted to steam. Meanwhile, t...

Boiler Safety Boiler, being a fired pressure vessel, may be a potential hazard. Boiler operators and engineers should pay close attention to following safety devices for safe use: Safety Valve: Prevents the boiler being operated above its maximum permissible working pressure Water gauge glass: It is designed to verify the actual level of water in the system Air vent Valve:   It is designed to take out initial air Blowdown Valve: It is designed to remove accumulated sludge out of the boiler Isolation Valve: It is designed to isolate safety devices i.e. mobrey , gauge glass etc.  usually for maintenance or safety purpose Feed Water check valve: It is designed to allow feed water to pass into the boiler and to prevent backflow of water from the boiler in event of pump failure Steam Pressure gauge: It is designed to record the pressure at which steam is being generated in the boiler Water Treatment:   It is done to reduce various losses and enhance the...
