In other words, in the duplex circuit method, when both the brackish water level transmitters 7 and 18 installed at both axial ends of the brackish water network 3 detect a high or low level, it is determined that the boiler operation is dangerous. If either one of the brackish water level transmitters 7.18 is out of order, it cannot be determined that operation of the boiler is dangerous even if the brackish water level is actually high or low.

Equipped with a circuit that determines whether the measured values are correct or incorrect and stops the boiler when the brackish water level is higher or lower than the set value and the deviation value between the feed water flow rate and the amount of steam generated is larger than the set value. The deviation value between the amount of water supplied and the amount of steam generated is determined by the correctness judgment circuit for the measured value, and the deviation value is compared with the set value. If so, it is determined that the brackish water level detecting means that indicates the high or low brackish water level is operating correctly, the other brackish water level detecting means are not operating correctly, and the correct/incorrect judgment circuit detects the brackish water level detecting that the brackish water level is operating correctly. Since the operation of the boiler is stopped based on the indication of high or low brackish water level output from the means, the brackish water level detecting means includes mechanical and electrical elements of the equipment constituting the brackish water level detecting means. This has the effect of preventing erroneous boiler stoppages and dangerous operation by dealing with overall failures.
