Power Plant Achieves Reliable Boiler Drum Level Control with Rosemount Guided Wave Radar
POWER ROSEMOUNT 5300 RESULTS • Reduced maintenance with no calibration required • Increased accuracy with more rapid drum level readings • Elimination of unwarranted trips due to cold ambient conditions “Since converting to the Rosemount 5300 with Dynamic Vapor Compensation, unit reliability has significantly increased. ” Manager of Gas and Turbine Engineering APPLICATION Boiler drum level control at a combined cycle power plant. CUSTOMER NA natural gas combined cycle gas plant located in USA with a capacity of over 900 MW CHALLENGE During the winter months, sub-freezing temperatures are common in this region which creates challenges for the company’s drum level measurement instrumentation. The primary level measurement on the boiler drums were differential pressur
