Headers

A Header Control Panel refers to a control system used to manage and monitor steam or fluid headers in industrial processes, such as power plants, refineries, or manufacturing facilities. Headers are large pipes or manifolds that collect or distribute steam, water, or other fluids to different parts of a system. The control panel ensures the safe and efficient operation of these headers, regulating flow, pressure, and temperature.

Key Functions of a Header Control Panel:

1. Flow Control:
   • Regulates the flow of steam or fluid through the header to various processes or equipment.
   • Uses flow meters to monitor the amount of steam or fluid being distributed.
2. Pressure Control:
   • Monitors and controls the pressure within the header to ensure it stays within safe operating limits.
   • Pressure sensors and pressure relief valves are often integrated into the system to prevent overpressure situations.
3. Temperature Control:
   • Manages the temperature of the steam or fluid to ensure proper conditions are maintained for downstream processes.
   • Temperature sensors and control valves regulate heat levels in the header.
