STEAM GENRATOR

Types of steam generator,which convert the

electrical energy into heat energy by external
electrical source. It has three pass steam generator
which produce semi-saturated, saturated and super
saturated steam. Loos steam generator produce high
pressure and low pressure saturated steam and high
pressure super saturated steam. It has load 27KW
and produce steam 39 KG per Hour.
 HISTORY
Philipp loos steam generator made one of the best
company named as LOOS INTERNATIONAL, LOOS is
one of the leading manufacture of steam generator
and boiler plant since the company founded in 1865
and supplied them to 140 countries throughout the
world. Loos made first electric steam generator in
1976.
In Mehran University,
Almost 80s loos generator was comes in chemical
department and unfortunately that time department
lost the all operation manual and paper works of the
steam generator. After this Sir Saeed Najme joined
the department and this was the first assignment of
sir to read and work and made into operation
condition. After that no one worked on generator for
long time that’s why almost 17 years is not in
working condition.
 PARTS OF LOOS STEAM GENRATOR
Following are the parts of Philipp Loos steam
generator:

STORAGE TANK;
It is depth part of steam generator which is used to
store the water from any source. Storage tank
contain a water level indicator to locate the level of
water inside the storage tank and also contain the
thermometer which gives temperature of water
which deliver to the feed tank. Volume of storage
tank is 20 to 35 liter and volume is indicate by level
indictor is 15 to 30 liter.

FEED TANK;
It is main part which locates inside the body of steam
generator. Water which comes from the storage tank
is to be store in feed tank. In feed tank, water is to be
heated for making the steam it also contain the level
which locate the level of water in feed tank here the
capacity of water stored is 40 to 60 liter and volume
indicated by the level is 20 to 40 liter.
HEATING RODS AND ELECTRICAL PANEL;
This part of steam generator which is
responsible to make the steam in feed tank .It
contain the Thirteen (13) rods in left side and on
right side six (6) rods each rod contain seven small
rods which convert the electrical energy into the heat
energy. When power is on all rods left and right side
of feed tank are warm and transfer heat through the
conduction on water to make steam in generator.

VALVES
FLOAT VALAVE WITH BALL;
When the water in over flow inside the storage tank,
to prevent this effect use float valve which is inside
the storage tank. When the water is over flow, ball of
float valve moves upward and over flow water is
leave the storage tank with open valve which is
behind the storage tank.

SAFETY VALVE;
A safety valve is mechanism for the automatic
release of a substance from a steam generator. OR
It can be define as the valve which automatic open
when the temperature and
Pressures are above the preset limit. Safety valve
contain a spring when the pressure force act on the
spring then it moves upward and release the
pressure in form of steam.

OPEN AND CLOSED VALVE;

Open and Closed valve use to open and closed flow
of water and steam, It also use to control the flow of
steam and water inside and out side the feed and
storage tank.

PUMP;
Pump is used to deliver the water from storage tank
to feed tank. It has two mode each mode has
different flow rate to deliver water to feed tank.
Pump can handling by manually or by the automatic.

PRESSURE GAUGES;
Loos steam generator contain two pressure gauges
one use to locate and other use to set or control the
pressure of steam which is made inside the
generator, For locate, The bourdon tube gauge are
used to measure the pressure inside the feed tank.
Pressure measure by the gauge in form of Bar.

The second pressure gauge use to set required

pressure or used to control the pressure inside the
feed tank this is to done by manually. The pressure
set or control in form of atmospheric pressure (atm).

WATER LEVEL REGULATOR;

Water level regulator is responsible to monitoring the
level of water inside feed tank. It contain three light
each shows the level of water at different level (The
level which manufacture required) if the water above
or below the required level buzzer start.

WATER LEVEL INDICATOR;

It is the important part of this steam generator
because it shows the level of water inside the feed
tank. it contain two valve which placed upper and
lower of level scale of water level indicator which
used to removed over flow water and also a steam
which made inside the feed tank.
INSULATING MATERIAL;
Insulating material are used for minimize the loss of
heat and prevent the electric shocks. Insulating
material are WOOL (cotton) and ABARAK (aluminum
foil).loos generator feed body are fully covered by
cotton even no void space occur in feed tank and
body of steam generator.
CHAPTER#2

WORKING OF LOOS GENRATOR

1. First to fill the storage tank from water by
manually up to required level.

2. Active the power supply to main unit

3. Start the pump by the button which placed the left

side of generator. Remember the pump has two
mode that’s depends upon the user which they
want if he want use mode I or II but different in
flow rate to deliver

4. Look the water level which placed in front steam

generator, either the water is your required level
or not, if not to removed the water first open red
valve and also opened black valve which place
down the red valve and both are place on feed
level indicator.
5. After removed over water now set pressure
reading in pressure gauge.

6. Start the heater (heating rods) at mode 1. When

you listen whistle then you rapidly press restart
button. Now heater

is automatically started. If you go through at mode 2

and mode 3, just you repeat same procedure.

7. After few minutes, pressures are build in steam

generator which shows in bourdon tube gauge.

8. After reached your require pressure limit then

open upper red valve of level indicator and receive
steam and send for further process.
 SOME IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

1. Water is use should be distilled.

2. When deliver water from storage to feed tank

then turn off pump.

3. Always close all outlet valve when deliver

water from storage tank to feed tank.
4. Before start heater first set required pressure
in pressure gauge.

5. Always turn off loos steam generator after

performing practical
CHAPTER#3

MAINTENANCE OF LOOS STEAM GENRATOR

MAINTENANCE OF STORAGE TANK;

When the storage tank was opened that was full of
corrosion and contaminate water almost storage was
damaged, the corrosion was in the tank is metallic
corrosion that was not easily removed. For removing
the corrosion we have done hammering inside and
outside the storage tank. When we done hammering
corrosion were not removed, we were worried about
it. At last we done paint coating inside and out side
the storage tank for this way corrosion was stopped
for few days.

MAINTENANCE OF FLOAT VALVE;

Float valve which is inside the storage tank was also
damaged by the corrosion for removing we scratched
the surface of the valve, Over all body of valve was
also full of rust and that was also treated.
MAINTENANCE OF PUMP;
Pump was almost damaged when opened, Impellers
body was jammed and impellers was full of corrosion,
electric wiring was almost bust it means pump was
not in working condition. For maintenance, pump was
send to mechanic for making in working condition.

MAINTENANCE OF LEVEL INDICATOR;

Water level indicator is important part of feed tank
for which to locate the water level in feed tank but
the problem was in indicator that levels of water was
not shown in the indicator due to dust particle,
corrosion and contaminate water. For maintenance
first we removed the water inside the indicator and
done some how hammering and then washed with
distilled water. For this way level indicator is show
the level of water.

MAINTENANCE OF SAFETY VALVE;

Due to long time valve was not opened at right time
even at high pressure valve was not opened because
of dust and rust inside the valve, the spring was
jammed. For maintenance
Simply we used WD-40 to over come the rust
problem in safety valve.

MAINTENANCE OF PIPE LINES;

Loos stem generator was not in working for 17 years
that’s why all the pipe lines which deliver the water
storage to feed tank, inlet outlet lines in storage
tank, out lines of steam was completely chocked. To
over come this problem we have done hammering
and also replaced few pipe lines.
