    The 3E drum level control system maintains drum level by controlling feedwater flow based on drum level, steam flow, and drum pressure measurements. Drum level is measured by two level transmitters and corrected for density using drum pressure. Steam flow is measured by two transmitters and corrected for density. The controller output is fed forward to the feedwater controller to account for shrink and swell from steam flow variations. Drum level is further compensated using a formula that accounts for density variations of water and steam at different pressures and temperatures compared to design conditions.

    3E DRUM LEVEL CONTROL & COMPENSATION


    Posted by Debyendu Chakraborty on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 Under: TECHNICAL
    3E DRUM LEVEL CONTROL & COMPENSATION
    The aim of drum level control is to maintain the drum level at the centre line of the boiler drum.
    The 3 element in this loop are the drum level, the steam flow & the feed water flow. The level is measured by two independents DPT.The stream
    drum pressure is measured using pressure transmitter PT. The two level signals are corrected for density using the drum pressure signal before the
    same is used for indication, control & high, low alarm generation.
    The density compensation is done by the formula-
    Actual Steam Flow = Indicated steam flow * √ {(P1+1.029)*(T2+273)} / {(P2 +1.029) *(T1+273)} …………….1
    Where P1 is measured pressure signal & T1 is measured temp signal, P2 = 89kg/cm2, T2 = 515 Deg C (Designed constant).
    For very low trip generation first the constants are generated from individual transmitter & then two out of two is performed on the three density
    compensated level signal and the output is used as PV from the drum level controller.
    In case 3E the controller LIC output goes to feed forward summation block where the steam flow is added to it & generates the remote set point
    flow controller FIC.
    Steam flow measured using steam flow transmitter FT-1 & FT-2 , two out of two is performed, whish acts as a feed-forward signals & takes care of
    shrink & swell effects. the steam flow transmitter are connected across flow nozzle which is square rooted and then pressure & temperature
    compensation done.
    This compensation takes care of error arising due to density variation of stream when boiler is operating at conditions different from design
    conditions.
    For drum level compensation by modifying eqn 1
    Hm + DP + h (ra - rs) / (rw - rs)
    Hm = corrected drum level, DP = diff pressure measured by level transmitters, ra= wet led density (0.992), rs = saturated steam density(refer steam
    table) , rw = saturated water density , H = wet leg height (h=H)
