A steam generator has a water container and an upper heating device and a lower heating device, a first temperature detection device covering a temperature detection area including the area covered by the two heating devices, a control device for monitoring and evaluating the first temperature detection device and for controlling the activation state of the two heating devices. A flat first temperature detection device covers the outside of the container, and a second spot-like temperature sensor is located on the water container in a region of an upper border of the upper heating device. Both temperature detection devices are used to activate and deactivate the two heating devices such that at first the lower heating device is activated to start generating steam as fast as possible.

A mica water level gauge glass includes a steam tee fitting, a balance pipe, a water tee fitting, a steam connecting pipe, a water connecting pipe, a condensation tank, a longitudinal vertical gauge body, and a mica assembly. The gauge body includes a thermal compensation cavity, a steam-water cavity, an auxiliary heat confluence device, and a horizontal steam cavity. The exit points of the thermal compensation cavity arranged in the gauge body is lower than the point of the steam-water cavity exiting from the gauge body.

A sight glass system that simplifies the way a sight glass is cleaned and accessed during servicing a boiler or tank. This system allows someone to treat the boiler or tank with a cleaning liquid solution without taking off the pressure release valve of the vessel to pour in the solution. The cleaning process is now achieved easily with the sight glass system by taking off the service valve head cap to pour the treatment through the sight glass and into the boiler or tank with the shut off valves open. The system consist of a sight glass that is connected to a top and bottom valve having a removable threaded cap, a female threaded aperture on one side, and a threaded protrusion that secures the sight glass via a fastening system of a rubber washer, O-ring, and wing nut respectively. Furthermore, the top valve is designed in such a way that will allow the sight glass when not secured to slide up and out when the fastening system is unfastened. By unfastening the fastening system, the wing nut can move freely down the sight glass allowing for easy removal of the sight glass through the top valve when the cap is removed along with the rubber washer and O-ring. The top and bottom valves are connected to the main water shutoff valves respectively via a threaded member that is screwed on to the side of the valves containing a female threaded aperture.

A steam generator and a method for generating steam, the generator comprising a steam chamber fed with water from a water from a water reservoir for heating by a heating source to generate steam, steam being delivered out through a steam outlet, and waste water being evacuated through a drain, the steam generator comprising a control chamber, in fluid communication with the steam chamber so as that a water level in the control chamber is indicative of a water level in said steam chamber; at least one water level-sensor configured for detecting the water level in the control chamber; and a control unit receiving a signal from the water level-sensor. There is further provided a method of generating steam in a steam chamber receiving Water is fed from the water reservoir simultaneously to the steam chamber and to the control chamber, through a single feeding valve, the feed water being mixed with hot waste water drained from the steam chamber, upstream of a drain pump.

A level control system for controlling the liquid level in a boiler drum is provided. The level control system uses an integration parameter when operating in a non-transient condition to provide a control signal into a flow control loop controlling a level control valve for the liquid level in the boiler drum. When a transient condition is identified by a predictive controller, the integration parameter is interrupted and a gain vector is generated to modify the control constants and optionally modify feedforward to adjust control signal into the flow control loop during transient operation of the level control valve.
