2.1 Navigator 550 sodium wet-section The Navigator 550 sodium wet-section has been designed for use with an ABB Navigator 540 transmitter to provide continuous monitoring and control of power station boiler feed water / steam condensate. Sampling points include mixed bed outlets in water treatment plants, extraction pump discharge, boiler feed, boiler drum and steam.
The Navigator 540 transmitter is designed for continuous monitoring and control of power station boiler feed water / steam condensate and must be used in conjunction with an associated ABB wet-section to measure levels of low level dissolved oxygen / sodium / hydrazine.
