CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW

1. Features of Product
1.1 Functions and Operating Principle
1.1.1 Functions
This boiler burns fuel oil and collects resultant heat to provide high-temperature, high-pressure
steam.

1.1.2 Operating Principle


<Feed water>
Feed water is pressurized by feed water pump and supplied to upper drum.
Water that is fed to upper drum is loaded into boiler body (upper drum, water tubes, and lower
drum).
<Combustion>
Heat to generate steam comes from combustion heat by burner. Fuel oil heated and pressurized
by fuel oil pump unit to right temperature and pressure, respectively, is supplied to burner. Boiler
employs two-fluid burner that uses atomized fluid (steam or compressed air) to atomize fuel oil
and combines atomized particles with air supplied by fan to cause combustion.
<Generation of steam>
Water in water tubes is heated by combustion heat from burner into gas-liquid phase, which rises
to upper drum. Liquid phase in water tubes without thermal load drops down to lower drum. This
series of actions causes natural circulation inside boiler body and allows heat recovery. Steam
generated in drum is subjected to steam separation to obtain saturated steam, which is supplied
to load side through main steam valve.

1.2 Product Components


This boiler consists of boiler body and following units:
Boiler body
Feed water pump (including feed water strainer and valves)
Fuel oil pump unit
Control panel
Fan
*This is standard configuration. For details about configuration of product that is delivered, refer to
final drawing.

2. Water and Steam Supply Flow


Typical flow for this boiler is described here. Actual flow may be different from flow described here,
depending on specifications. Check pipe system diagram in final drawing before use.

2.1 Water and Steam Pipe System


Water in system is supplied to boiler body by feed water pump. Water sent to boiler is heated by
combustion heat into high-temperature, high-pressure steam. Generated steam is supplied to load
side and used as a heat source.

Figure 2-1 Water and Steam Pipe System Diagram (Example)

3. Fuel Supply Flow


Typical flow for fuel pipe system of this boiler is described here. Actual flow may be different from flow
described here, depending on specification. For details about flow for product that is delivered, refer to
pipe system diagram in final drawing.

Figure 2-2 Fuel Pipe System Diagram


<Description of operation> (H.F.O.(*))
a) All solenoid valves (SV-1 to SV-4) are closed when operation is stopped. When operation is started
and main fuel (*) oil pump (M-2) is brought into operation, fuel oil is circulated throughout fuel pipe
system leading back to oil air separator (*) via circulation relief valve (RV) and is heated by heater.
b) When H.F.O. is heated and pre-purge (*) is performed, solenoid valve for atomized fluid (SV-2) is
opened. When pre-purge is completed, pilot fuel oil pump (M-4), ignition transformer(*), and solenoid
valve for pilot burner (SV-1) are started to form pilot flame(*).
c) When flame eye (*) detects pilot flame, solenoid valve for air-driven valve (SV-3) is started to open
air-driven valve (AC-1), allowing main burner and pilot burner to form mixed flame. After mixed
flame is formed, solenoid valve for pilot burner (SV-1) is shut off to put out pilot flame, and flame
from main burner is formed.
d) While combustion is continued, pressurized fuel oil is still circulated throughout fuel pipe system via
circulation relief valve (RV) to keep fuel oil temperature and oil pressure stable.

Boiler consists of doughnut shaped upper drum and lower drum that are connected through water
tubes. Water tubes with narrow ends are arranged as shown Figure 2-7. Combustion gas flows in
two directions as shown by arrows and meets again at exit to be discharged from funnel. While water
in innermost water tubes is subjected to flame, other water tubes are subjected to combustion gas
that passes through them. This allows efficient transfer of heat to water.
Casing consists of welded inner casing and outer casing. Heat insulating material is placed between
water tubes and inner and outer casing to restrict radiation of heat.
Inner lower part of furnace and narrow end part of water tubes are insulated with castable to prevent
short path of combustion gas.
Upper and lower drums have manhole to check inside. Check condition of scaling, corrosion,
pitching on tubes, and reflect results in boiler water treatment (For more details, refer to Manual for
Water Treatment). At furnace inspection, check for soot adherence, peeling of castable, fuel leakage
on furnace bottom, traces of water leakage and accumulations of unburnable materials.

6. Boiler Automatic Operation by Sequencer


6.1 Overview
Sequence control is automatic control that completes each control step following procedure that is
provided in advance.
This boiler starts fuel oil pump and fan operation, and after pre purge is completed sufficiently, ignition
device is started; after fuel valve is opened to ignite burner, start-stop of burner is controlled by steam
pressure switch. These steps are carried out automatically.

6.3 Operation Explanation of Steam Pressure Control


6.3.1 Proportional Control
Steam pressure regulator installed on control panel controls boiler burner and adjusts steam
pressure.

Sample settings of steam pressure regulator

Boiler steam pressure


Higher pressure limit

Normal working pressure


Lower pressure limit

Time

a) For 30 seconds after ignition, low combustion (20% load) is kept not to put boiler under heavy load.
30 seconds later, boiler is held under proportional control so that normal working pressure can be
kept in response to changes in steam pressure.
b)

When steam consumption is lowered and boiler steam pressure is increased to reach higher
pressure limit, burner is stopped and post-purge(*) is performed.

c)

When boiler steam pressure is decreased to lower pressure limit, combustion is started again
under proportional control so that normal working pressure is kept.

*1:

At start of operation, atomized air is used (with M.D.O.(*)) to increase boiler steam pressure to 0.7
MPa.
Refer to page 34 2.4 Starting Combustion with M.D.O in Chapter 4.

Note
When air is used as atomized fluid, only M.D.O. can be used as fuel, and proportional control
cannot be used. (Forced low fire)

leading to serious accident

Safety valve is safety device that is installed to prevent boiler steam pressure from exceeding
maximum allowable working pressure; full-bore safety valve is used for this boiler. Normally, safety
valve does not operate because steam pressure switch works. When pressure switch does not work
for some reason and combustion is continued to cause abnormal steam pressure increase or rapid
pressure increase is caused by rapid load change, safety valve protects boiler by blowing steam off
and lowering steam pressure. As a rule, two or more safety valves are installed and they are
selected so that total blow off level exceeds the maximum evaporation level of boiler for safety.
Boiler safety valve is set at presence of inspector, so as to blow off at strictly limited pressure;
nobody is allowed to make attempt of further adjustment on board. However, only in case of
emergency, such as when safety valve leaks, some countermeasures, such as opening or adjusting
valve, can be taken at discretion of chief engineer. In that case, adjust blow off pressure of safety
valve according to procedure that is described in next page.

Failure to observe this instruction may cause fuel oil leak, resulting in fire.

Flexible tube on burner is used at high temperature and high pressure.


Generally, it needs to be replaced once every 1 or 2 years.

4.4 Oil Flow Control Valve, Air Flow Controller, and Damper

WARNING
Equipment has been brought into optimum state in trial operation. Do not make changes to
state after trial operation. Failure to observe this instruction may cause poor combustion,
Instruction

backfire (*), or other accidents. If changes are made for unavoidable reasons, contact MIURA
offices and ask for instructions.

4.4.1 Overview
Fuel oil flow rate and air flow rate are adjusted by oil flow control valve, air flow controller, and
damper.
Oil flow control valve changes its opening to adjust fuel oil flow rate. By rotating control motor on oil
flow control valve shaft, slot in shaft is rotated to change inner opening.
Air flow controller attunes throttling characteristics of oil flow control valve to air flow throttling
characteristics of damper. It has leaf spring bent into a fan-like shape, along which damper drive arm
moves. This leaf spring has 8 adjustment bolts, with which spring's shape can be changed to adjust
air flow throttling characteristics of damper. This mechanism adjusts air flow to optimum rate for
combustion levels at different combustion loads.
Damper is subject to continuous vibration and external force and must be checked for loose parts.

59

4.4.2 Inspection
Loose parts of damper cause changes in damper opening. Check damper drive arm and leaf spring
for loose lock screws on a monthly basis. If loose parts are found, retighten them or apply grease.
Coupling is connects motor and air flow controller shaft by tightening lock screw. Inspect looseness
of lock screw once a month because it can not control combustion normally when lock screw is
loosened. If loose parts are found, retighten them additionally and check that control motor opening
and air flow control valve opening have not deviated from position in trial operation.

4.6.1 Overview
Flame eye is a device that detects flame during combustion and gives instruction to combustion
circuit. It monitors flame by using photosensitive characteristic of CdS (cadmium sulfide cell)
(Normally, when resistance of 100 k catches flame, it drops under 500 ).
If flame eye is damaged or protection glass is blackened with soot, it cannot detect flame and
stops burner and brings it to the same state as when ignition failure or flame-out occurs.

4.6.2 Inspection and Cleaning

Electric heater contains nichrome wire coil with high thermal conductivity as heating element in the
center of pipe, and is filled with special fused powder with excellent electric insulation at high
temperature.
To save electric capacity, heater body is heated by steam from outside. Thus, electric heater is
combined with steam.
Both steam and electric heater are controlled by opening or closing steam solenoid valve with fuel
oil temperature controller.
If sludge adheres to heater, poor combustion or abnormal heating may be caused due to unstable
control. Clean inside of heater on a yearly basis.
<Overview>
Electric heater as shown in figure is used as standard to heat heavy oil used as fuel to proper
temperature. Heater is installed on outlet side of oil pump and oil temperature is regulated by
temperature controller.
Fuel oil heater contains nichrome wire coil as heating element in the center of pipe for high
conductivity, and is filled with special powder that has excellent electric insulation at high
temperature; these materials are solidified under high pressure.
<Inspection and maintenance>
Long-term use of fuel oil heater causes accumulation of oily sludge in heater, which may lower
heating temperature or damage element due to insulation failure.
Open and clean fuel oil heater on a yearly basis.
In addition, raise discharge pressure of fuel oil pump and check operation of safety valve.
Note

Sludge remaining after cleaning may cause leaks from solenoid valves.
Remove it completely by flushing or by another method.

Figure 5-41 Water Level Gauge and Water Level Detecting Rod
Water level detecting rod is installed on the top and bottom of steam drum (on steam side and water
side) with valves. Rod contains water level gauge glass to serve as both water level gauge and water
level detecting rod.
Water level gauge is important device for safety to check if prescribed water level is kept in boiler. As
glass of water level gauge must be kept clean, clean it by blowing water level gauge at least once a
day.
Reflective gauge glass is used for water level gauge, and size depends on rules of vessel
classification.
97

Aside from water level gauge, which is designed to visually check water level, water gauge column
has four (or five) water level detecting rods (3) with different lengths, which electrically detect water
level and put out signal to automatically start/stop feed water pump or to automatically stop burner
when low low level is detected. Stainless detecting rod is screwed in electrode holder and further
tightened with set screws. As water level detecting rod may get dirty with concentrated boiler water
and cause malfunction, pull water level detecting rods out and clean them at least once every three
months.

6.3 Flame Detector (FS-901)


Flame detector is auxiliary relay that is installed to detect burner flame and output electric signal.

Figure 5-43 Flame Detector


<Inspection>
Check on a yearly basis that voltage between terminals [3] and [4] of flame detector during
combustion does not exceed 2.5 V. If voltage exceeds 2.5 V, check whether or not flame eye (*)
glass and light sensitive surface of flame eye are dirty. If they are dirty, clean them.
Refer to page 62 4.5 Flame Eye in Chapter 5.

If voltage exceeds 2.5 V even after cleaning, there is possibility of failure of flame eye or flame
detector. In that case, replace flame eye with a spare one. If voltage exceeds 2.5 V again, there is
high possibility of failure of flame detector. In that case, replace flame detector.

7. Inspection and Maintenance on Vessel Docking


7.1 Soot Cleaning of Furnace
a) Remove burner from boiler.
b) Open inspection opening of funnel.
c) Visually inspect inside of combustion chamber and check conditions of castable and whether or
not inside is blackened by soot.
d) Clean combustion chamber with high-pressure water cleaner. Also clean boiler body from
inspection opening of funnel.
Refer to page 15 5.1 Boiler Body in Chapter 2.
e) Suck out cleaning solution in bottom of furnace with pump.

Note
Dispose of wastewater after cleaning, which has a low pH of around 1, properly.
MIURA cleans furnace to remove soot. For more details, contact MIURA offices.

5. Trouble Shooting for Boiler Body

CAUTION
Before working on water tube leaks, check water tubes and burner funnel that may be
touched are fully cooled. Otherwise, you may suffer from burn. For more information,
Caution: Hot

contact MIURA offices.

Checking Leaked Water Tubes


No leakage from water tube of GK type boiler occurs if water quality control is carried out properly.
Boiler external treatment and boiler internal treatment with boiler compound are absolutely essential.
If leakage is found from boiler water tube due to improper boiler water treatment, check it as follows:
a) Remove burner and wind box (*) from the upper part of boiler. Open manhole of funnel on
exhaust gas side.
b) Enter boiler combustion chamber and funnel inside on exhaust gas side to check water tube wall
(Obvious leakage may be detected at glance in this stage).
c) Switch feed water pump to manual operation and perform a hydraulic test.
d) If water is leaking from joint of water tube and tube plate, remove refractory castable around
water tube swaged area and inspect whole area.
When water is leaking from back side of the first row of tubes toward the second row of tubes, it is
easily considered that water is leaking from the second row of tubes. Therefore, check it carefully
in full consideration of above.
e) When leaking water tubes are found, insert stoppers or replace tubes with new ones.
Refer to page 124 6. Repairing Damaged Water Tubes in Chapter 6.
f) Investigate cause of water tube leakage for future reference. If leakage came from improper
water treatment, take secure measures to prevent recurrence.
If leakage is found on exhaust gas economizer side, open manhole on exhaust gas
inlet and outlet and hand holes in the middle part and find where leakage is occurring.

123

6. Repairing Damaged Water Tubes

WARNING
Stopper treatment and furnace building with refractory is temporary treatment. Do not
operate for a long time; otherwise, there is possibility of serious accident. Contact each
classification in advance and replace water tubes (or body) immediately at periodical
inspection. Contact MIURA offices about replacement of water tubes (or body).
Instruction

Before inspecting interior, stop main engine. Purge with the bottom blow and fan, and cool
both the inside of drum and combustion chamber. Then make sure that pressure inside the
drum is 0 MPa. Also, make sure ventilation is provided by air duct and/or the ventilator fan
during inspection.

This boiler is vertical natural-circulation boiler.


If boiler water is not controlled according to "Manual for Water Treatment, that is provided separately,
impurities in feed water (calcium, magnesium, and silica) may be accumulated and turned into scale
on heating surface, that could hinder heat exchange process, damage water tubes, or cause
leakage.
To operate this boiler most economically and efficiently, it is essential to control boiler water by
blowing down boiler and using proper boiler compounds and water softener. This chapter describes
ways to fix damaged water tubes and leakage that are caused by unsatisfactory boiler water
treatment.

6.1 Insertion of Stoppers from Inside of Water Drum


Stopper

This method uses iron stoppers that are included as spare


parts to plug tubes from inside the upper and lower steam
drums and water drum. Before inserting the stoppers,
determine which water tube(s) is/are leaking.
Refer to page 123. 5. Trouble Shooting for Boiler
Body in Chapter 6

Combustion
Chamber

Once it is identified leaking water tube(s), enter drum


through manhole and insert stoppers from inside as it is
shown in the figure.
In this case, clean thoroughly contact surface between
stopper and water tube so that dust or other foreign materials
do not get caught in surface; this is especially important if
there is some sort of damage. It is also effective to polish
Stopper

parts with carborundum or a similar material.

6.2 Stopper Welding from Combustion Chamber

Castable

Figure 6-2 Stopper Welding from Combustion Chamber


This method is the same as the previous method up to the point that water pressure test is conducted inside
combustion chamber to determine which pipe(s) is/are leaking. However, stoppers are used in completely
different way. In this method, stoppers are welded from inside of combustion chamber as it is shown in

Combustion Anchor
Chamber
Apply castable (only to
the innermost row).

Combustion
Chamber

Seal the opening by welding.

figure. Therefore, the first prerequisite for using this method is to have certified welder on board.

Figure 6-3 Stopper Welding from Inside of Combustion Chamber


If it is undertaken stopper treatment from just the top and bottom without welding stoppers, there is
possibility that water tube (that does not contain water) is damaged and water is leaked to exhaust gas side.
Therefore, the previous type of work should be completed only in case of emergency; it is strongly
recommended that stoppers are welded once ship reaches port. However, if there is some technical issue,
such as with welders, or application of refractory castable is omitted (refer to above figure), other problems
may be caused. Therefore, it is necessary to follow instructions of MIURA offices.
125

CHAPTER 7: STORAGE

1. Maintenance When Boiler is Shut Down for a Long Time


When boiler is shut down for a long time, it is important to store it properly. Before boiler is shut down,
wash soot off boiler and clean and fully dry inside of furnace. In addition, pour silica gel to protect
against rust.
Conduct procedure for shutdown according to Manual for Water Treatment.

2. Movement or Resale

WARNING
Do not perform installation work and connection of incidental equipment unless it is
specified.
Prohibition

Failure to observe this instruction may cause physical injury.

In reselling or reusing boiler, procedure that is based on rules of vessel classification must be taken.
Contact MIURA offices since it must be checked that vessel equipment does not affect normal
operation of boiler. Installation work or connection of incidental equipment that is not specified may
cause physical injury. If our products are resold, deliver instruction manuals and related materials along
with product to new owner, and inform us of resale (We need to transfer maintenance records that kept
since it was placed in service).
