🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler low-water condition and risk of overheating heating surfaces • Proper sequence of securing fires and steam stop valve in an emergency • Why you should be very cautious about adding feedwater to a rapidly falling boiler level

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the boiler metal surfaces if water level is actually below the tubes and you continue steaming or fire the boiler harder. • What is the safest immediate action to protect the boiler from damage when you suspect a serious low-water condition? • In an emergency low-water situation, should you first cut off the heat source or first isolate the boiler from the steam line? Why?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which action most quickly removes heat input to the boiler to prevent damage. • Check which choice might be dangerous if the water is already below the top of the tubes, such as suddenly increasing feed or continuing to fire. • Confirm the safest order of operations between: securing fires, securing the steam stop, and checking gauge indications.
