2. Maintaining correct level in the deaerator is very important when ensuring high
quality feed water.
The deaerator level control valve needs to be operated with high rangeability and
protection from cavitation at low flows.
For Deaerator Level control we one MAIN CV and one AUX CV
There are 2 mode of control
single element control( when steam flow<30%)
3 element control (when steam flow>30%)
