Like pressure switches, boilers are machinery present throughout the industry, with different applications, but all of them with critical monitoring needs, not only for their correct functioning and effectiveness, but mainly for safety reasons.
Boilers work, in essence, as large water heaters, to supply water and steam. This is one of the stages where pressure switches play an essential role in the system, in controlling the working pressure.
The fuel supply system controlled by devices supplied with information regarding the pressure in the boiler. Pressure switches and pressure gauges are used to control and read the pressure in the steam boiler.
The reading obtained by the pressure switch is the reference used by the system to control the fuel to be released, seeking to maintain a certain vapor pressure in the system.
Two pressure switches are normally used for this application. The maximum pressure switch controls the internal pressure of the boiler, starting or stopping the action of the burners. The modulating pressure switch acts on mechanisms that regulate the flow of oil and air to the burners.
Pressure switches have several applications in the industry, and are therefore presented in different configurations, according to the required need. Lefoo has a wide range of pressure switches, in addition to electro-mechanical components for various applications. Contact us and learn more about Lefoo.
