Low Water Level A level switch stops the burner if the boiler water level gets too low. If the water levels gets low enough that part of the boiler runs dry, that part can overheat, weakening it and possibly resulting in an explosion.

Violent bursts of the thin-lipped variety occur when water circulation in the tube is interrupted by blockage or by circulation failure caused by low water levels. In some steam drum designs, water level is extremely critical because the baffling may isolate a generating section of the boiler when the steam drum water level falls below a certain point.

A low-water cutoff is a mechanical device (usually a float switch) that is used to turn off the burner or shut off fuel to a boiler to prevent it from running once the water drops below a certain point. If a boiler is "dry-fired" (burned without water in it) it can suffer rupture or catastrophic failure. The cause of low-water cutoff device

2015/8/13 · The low water cutoff is mounted at an elevation that is above the lowest possible water level of the boiler. On hydronic systems, it is common to have one installed in the piping above the boilers. If the low water cutoff is connected to the system piping with nipples or pipes, valves cannot be installed in the piping to allow isolation of the low water cutoff and the system.
