Boiler Control Solution: Instruments and Solution for Automatic Boiler Control

Essential Equipments for Industries

Boilers are used in a broad range of industries such as electric power, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, ceramics, pulp and paper, and food and beverage. Amid the rising energy costs, tightening environmental regulations, and increasing awareness of safety as of late, the needs for high efficiency operation, low emission operation, and safe and stable operation of boilers are growing.

Increasing Efficiency of Boilers

In order to ensure the air and fuel are combusted at an optimal ratio, the waste of fuel is eliminated, and the exhaust gas is cleaned, real-time monitoring of the oxygen concentration of combustion gases is required. Equipped with an oxygen sensor unit with a longer life span, the Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer ZR series are capable of measuring an oxygen concentration with high reliability. 

Safe and Stable Operation

A single-loop controller can be used to properly distribute control functionality. Offering the advantages of flexibility of building distributed control systems, simple maintenance, compatibility with conventional systems, and the like, the YS1000 Series of Single-loop Controllers are ideal for safe and stable operation at low costs.

Monitoring the drum level and steam flow rate in accurate at any conditions

In order to ensure highly efficient and safely operated boilers, it is also indispensable to accurately monitor the drum level and steam flow rate. The EJA and EJX Series of Differential Pressure Transmitters are capable of measuring the drum level with high stability even in actual applications at high temperatures and high pressures. 
Voretex Flowmeter VY Series Built-in Temperature Sensor Type is a simple and highly reliable features  and allows simultaneous measurement of flow rate and temperature and caluculation of steam mass flow rate and energy flow rate with bulit-in steam table.

Our Key Technologies

EJA/EJX Silicone Resonant Sensor

By micro-machining the resonators directly within the single crystal silicon material we are able to derive the maximum benefits from the elasticity of the single crystal silicon material while enhancing sensitivity and repeatability. The properties of the resonators remain constant over time. This makes DPharp the ideal pressure sensor for harsh industrial automation environments. DPharp delivers stability, repeatability and reliability that you can rely on.

The VY Series Key Technology

The VY Series inherits the proven original sensing structure and high reliability of the YEWFLO series. Its unique shedder bar design with dual flow sensors provides robust, long-term stable performance. Moreover, with Yokogawa’s proprietary SSP signal processing technology, it automatically removes vibration noise and extracts true vortex signals, ensuring accurate and stable flow measurement.

The VY Series Key Technology

YS1000 Dual CPU

With dual-CPU construction, manual control capability and display continues even if an abnormality occurs on one of the CPUs. If controller self-diagnostics detects a control circuit failure, the controller can suspend analog/digital output, switch to manual mode and allow manual control by operator.
