FEED CHECK VALVE
Function:
It is used to control the supply of water to the boiler & to prevent the
escaping of water from the boiler when the pump pressure is less or pump is
stopped.
Working:
Under normal working condition, the pressure on the feed pump side (connected
to elbow) is more than the boiler side pressure. This pressure difference lifts
the check valve. To allow the feed water to enter the boiler, the feed valve is
lifted manually. Hence, the feed water may enter the boiler. In order to
control the supply of feed water to the boiler, the position of the feed valve
is controlled. In the event of failure of feed pump, the pressure on the water
sump side reduces. The check valve will be closed because of higher
