ABSTRACT:
A fuel metering bin level control for a wood chip bin feeding a boiler wherein the wood chips have a high propensity to bridge the bin when packed, the level control includes a short chute through which the chips are fed into the upper portion of the bin and a pair of doors in the chute are opened and closed by pneumatic cylinders operating through four bar linkages in response to signals from a level transmitter to maintain the level of wood chips in the fuel metering bin within a range that prevents the chips from bridging the bin and allows the feed to the bin to be continuous with excess chips being diverted to a silo for storage and future use.
