Part 1 Brief Introduction of Boiler Equipment


Chapter 1 Main Design Features and Specifications of Boiler
1.1 Model: SG-2069/17.47-M921, manufactured by Shanghai Boiler Works Co., Ltd.
1.2 The boiler is subcritical pressure intermediate primary reheat control circulation boiler with swing type
temperature adjusting, four corners arrangement, tangential firing, positive pressure direct firing
pulverizing system, single furnace, II-type outdoor arrangement, all-steel overhung construction, dry-ash
furnace and balanced ventilation. The furnace is 21,082mm in width and 17,829.5mm in depth, the furnace
roof elevation is 77,300mm, the drum center line elevation is 78,300mm and the furnace roof plate girder
bottom elevation is 85,800mm. The boiler roof adopts metal fully sealed structure and is set with big cover
casing made up of 516 membrane water wall. The furnace bottom ash hopper is at an angle of 55, the
furnace bottom sealing is water seal, there are division wall, rear platen and platen reheater arranged on the
upside of furnace and there are wall radiant reheater mounted on the front wall and side walls, the furnace
lower header elevation is 9000mm. The horizontal gas pass is 8548mm in depth, made up of the extension
of water wall and rear flue gas pass and has last stage reheater and last stage superheater arranged inside.
The rear flue gas pass is 13908mm in depth and has low temperature superheater and economizer mounted
inside.
1.3 The furnace has three LP boiler circulating pumps mounted at the front of boiler and two trisector
regenerative Ljungstrom air preheater mounted at the rear with rotor diameter of 14.236m, the rotor rotates
reversely, and the angular degree of primary air division is 50.
1.4 The boiler adopts positive pressure direct firing pulverizing system equipped with 7 sets of
HP1103DYN type medium speed coal mill, which is amounted at the front of boiler. 6 coal mills are with
MCR load and 1 is for standby. Direct-flow burner is arranged on four corners with tangential firing and the
outlet of each coal mill is connected to one layer pulverized coal spray by 4 pulverized coal piping. The
upper most burner nozzle center line elevation is 37500mm, which is 23000mm away from the bottom of
platen and the lowest burner nozzle center line elevation is 27440mm, which is 5934mm away from the
furnace hopper angle. The burner wind box on each corner has five layers of startup and
combustion-supporting oil gun torch, three layers of heavy oil gun torch and two layers of light oil gun
torch.
1.5 Steam temperature governing mode: Superheated steam temperature governing mainly depends on
spray temperature governing except for the affect of burner nozzle sway. It is equipment with two stages of
spray attemperator, the first stage attemperator is arranged on the division wall superheater inlet pipe for
controlling the steam temperature getting into the division wall superheater; the second stage attemperator
is arranged on the final stage superheater inlet pipe for controlling the outlet steam temperature of final
stage superheater. The maximum design water spray capacity of first stage attemperator is 206t/h and that
of the second stage attemperator is 40t/h.
The reheat steam temperature governing mainly adopts titling burner nozzle angle to change the height of
flame center and thus to change the furnace outlet flue gas temperature. The swing angle of primary air
nozzle is 20and the swing angle of secondary air nozzle is 30. As the reheaters are arranged at the
furnace outlet high temperature flue gas area, the temperature governing to swing nozzle is of relatively
large sensitivity. Temperature governing can be done by increasing excess air coefficient when the load is
lower than the certain value. Furthermore, there are two emergency water spray attemperator at the reheater
1

inlet, of which the nozzle is Monok nozzle, controlling the reheated steam inlet steam temperature at
emergency status. The attemperator is arranged on the wall type reheater inlet pipeline with maximum
design water spray capacity of 90t/h.
1.6 This boiler has 5%BMCR startup bypass system as the method of controlling superheated steam
pressure and temperature when boiler starts up to shorten startup time. When the boiler starts up in cold
state, the medium temperature in this system should be the saturation temperature under the pressure of
4.14MPa and the drain valve are fully opened. Increase the superheating steam temperature by increasing
the furnace combustion rate to quicken startup speed. When the boiler starts up in hot state, the drain valve
should be also opened to exhaust the condensate in the superheater system, therefore, the pipeline design
pressure and temperature behind the motor-operated valve is the same as that of the enclosure superheater.
The superheated steam temperature is controlled by furnace combustion rate and the superheated steam
pressure is controlled by drain valve during startup; close this drain valve after synchronization of steam
turbine.
1.7 The boiler adopts dry ash extraction and the furnace ash hopper bottom slag extracting adopts
mechanical slag extracting
1.8 There are 80 wall type soot blower in the furnace part, 44 long retractable soot blower on the upper part
of furnace and convection pass area and 1 retractable soot blower on the flue gas inlet and outlet end of
each preheater; all soot blowers will be program control during operation.
1.9 There are 16 spring safety valve in the boiler proper part, of which 6 are at the drum, 2 at the
superheater outlet, 6 at the reheater inlet pipe and 2 at the reheater outlet pipe. 3 power discharge valves are
installed at the superheater outlet to reduce take-off times of safety valve.
1.10 This boiler has the expansion center. The whole boiler will expand by taking the expansion center as
the base point during operation, the vertical expansion zero point of boiler is set on the top of big cover
casing, the expansion zero point in depth and width direction of boiler is set at the furnace center. Three
layers of guiding device are set in the height direction of furnace to control the expansion direction of
boiler heating surface and horizontal load of boiler.
1.11 The length of drum shell straight part is 26216mm, which is made by rolling of steel plate with inner
diameter of1743mm; the two ends adopt spherical heads; the total length is 28585mm including heads;
the drum shell and head adopt the materials of SA-299. The drum shell upper part is welded with 29159
saturated steam extraction pipe base and 87159 steam-water leading-in pipe base and is equipped with
auxiliary steam tube and air vent pipe base. The shell bottom is welded with 6 pieces of downcomer and 3
pieces of feed water pipe base. The head has manhole, 6 safety valve pipe base with 3 on each side, 8
couples of water level monitoring pipe base for connecting 2 two-color water level gages, 4 water level
balance containers and 2 electrode pitting water level gauges. The normal water level of drum is 220mm
below center line.
1.12 Each side of furnace outlet has one non-cooled flue gas probe; the flue gas probe extend to the furnace
to monitor the furnace outlet flue gas temperature during boiler startup stage. The highest measured
temperature of flue gas probe is 600, therefore, when the flue gas temperature reaches 538, alarm will
be given and flue gas probe will drop out automatically. Then decrease fuel amount to prevent burning of
wall type reheater for overheat. Flue gas probe model is TS-O with travel of 7000mm.
1.13 Operating mode of boiler: the boiler has base load and is of peaking capability. The lowest load of
stable flame without fuel is not higher than 40% of boiler maximum continuous rating in fuel design of
2

burning, under which the boiler can operate stably and safely in a long time.

Chapter 14 Soot Blowing System


Soot blower of boiler is to keep the heating surface clean and produce good heating effect. The whole soot
blowing system has two parts of boiler proper heating surface sootblowing and preheater sootblowing. The
boiler proper part has 80 furnace soot blowers arranged in the furnace part, 44 long retractable soot blowers
arranged at the upper part of furnace and convection pass area. The outlet end of each set of preheater flue
gas side is equipped with 1 retractable soot blower; the sootblowing steam of proper part is received by the
division wall superheater outlet header with steam temperature 443 and pressure 18.20MPa (gauge); the
preheater sootblowing steam is received by rear platen superheater outlet header with temperature 501
and pressure 17.8MPa (gauge); they will get into each soot blower passing through pressure reducing valve;
there is automatic drainage point in the pipeline and sootblowing control of boiler is realized by DCS; the
system design always take into consideration that 2 long retractable, 2 furnace soot blower and 2 air
preheater are put into operation at the same time; the long retractable type and furnace soot blower on the
opposite side of wall has 1 soot blower putting into operation respectively or it can be set as user requires.
14.1 Soot blowing system of boiler proper
The soot blowing system of boiler proper is equipped with one set steam pressure reduction station; the
sootblowing steam gets into two division wall superheater outlet headers and get together, then passes
through 2 pneumatic file pressure reducing valve for reducing pressure, the setting value is 2.94MPa
(30kgf/cm2) and temperature is about 330; the optimum application value is long retractable soot blowers
2.0Mpafurnace soot blowers1.5Mpa . There is a manual stop valve and a motor-operated stop valve at the
pressure reducing valve front pipeline for closing steam source
A safety valve is set on the pressure reducing valve rear pipeline to prevent steam overpressure. There is
also pressure measuring point on the pipeline to monitor the pressure reducing valve outlet pressure. The
sootblowing steam is divided into two ways to get to the furnace soot blower after pressure reduction and
the long retractable soot blower is used for purging steam. Flow switch is set on each blowing pipe and
connected with program control; the set value of flow switch contact is to keep the minimum cooling flow
rate required by soot blower. Drain water system is set in the blowing pipeline to ensure proper dryness of
sootblowing; the proper sootblowing part has 4 drain points, of which 2 in furnace soot blower and long
retractable soot blower; each drain point drain pipeline has one motor-operated stop valve for temperature
control and water drainage and the open and close set value of the valve is 250; the horizontal pipeline
should keep 0.025m/m slope at least to ensure thorough drainage.
14.2 Soot blowing system of preheater
The steam of air preheater sootblowing comes from rear platen superheater outlet header; the pressure will
be reduced by passing 1.5 pneumatic film pressure reducing valve, of which the setting value is 2.94MPa
(30kg/cm2) and temperature is about 420 (this value can be regulated according to the operating
conditions). the optimum application value is 1.2Mpa.There is also stop valve in the front of pressure
reducing valve and safety valve and pressure measuring point, etc. behind the valve. The steam divides into
two ways in the header pipe and then gets into the air preheater soot blower. This system has one drain
point for temperature control and drainage; the drain valve is motor-operated stop valve, of which the open
and close set value is 220.
There is also soot blower auxiliary steam pipeline on the header pipe; the auxiliary steam comes from the
auxiliary steam mains arranged by the design institute with steam pressure of 0.7~1.0MPa (gauge pressure)
36

and temperature of 265~310; the steam passes gets to the blowing pipeline by passing through the stop
valve and check valve; the switching conditions of auxiliary steam and normal steam valve:
(1) The pressure reduction station of air preheater sootblowing steam source will open for supply
sootblowing steam when the boiler load is larger than 30%MCR.
(2) The auxiliary steam source valve will open for supplying auxiliary steam when the boiler load is smaller
than 30%MCR or in startup stage.

7.2 Forced cooling
7.2.1 When the heating surface of boiler has emergent maintenance work or the boiler needs quick cooling
to relieve pressure due to other reasons, the following methods can be used:
a) Stop the operation of all the induced draft fan and air blower and close the baffle blanking of air & flue
gas system after the boiler is shutdown and finished purging, open the relevant baffle of air & flue gas
system to build the natural ventilation 4 hours later; start up the induced draft fan and air blower to
maintain 30MCR air flow to carry out forced ventilation and cooling after shutdown for 6 hours.
b) If heating surface of boiler blows up and has serious leak, stop one suit of induced draft fan and air
blower to carry out forced cooling with keeping 30%MCR air flow after the boiler is finished purging.
c) It shall be approved by chief engineer if forced ventilation and cooling will be carried out immediately
after shutdown and stopping purging of boiler.
d) Maintain the water level of steam drum to be high level as far as possible until drain off water.
e) Use the drain valve of superheater to control the pressure reducing speed. Open each drain valve of water
wall and economizer and air valve of steam drum to drain off the water when the steam pressure of
superheater outlet reduces to 0.1MPa and lower wall temperature of steam drum is 95. If the hot boiler
should be drained off (dried after drinage) and dried, inform sewage plant when the steam drum pressure
reduces to below 0.5MPa.
7.2.2 Attention: Forced cooling shall be stopped when the temperature difference of steam drum wall is
50 in the process of quick cooling.

Chapter 8 Precautions for Boiler Shutdown


8.1 Steam turbine and boiler shall be coordinated well and temperature reducing and pressure reducing
shall not rise again in the process of sliding shutdown. Close attention shall be paid to the change of main
steam pressure & temperature, furnace pressure and steam drum water level when pulverizing mill stops.
Pay attention to the reducing speed of steam temperature and cylinder wall temperature and steam
temperature reducing speed shall be satisfied the requirements of sliding shutdown curve strictly. If steam
temperature reduces 50 sharply in 10min, it shall be tripped off and shut down.
8.2 Pay attention that each water level is normal in the process of running down load and the HP & LP
heater exits operation immediately. Minimum flow valve of feed pump can be opened manually in advance
according to the load condition.
8.3 Pay attention to strengthen the monitoring and measurement of each bearing vibration in the process of
sliding shutdown, trip off immediately if abnormal vibration occurs.
8.4The unit shall be avoided operating for long time under the load of 60MW.
8.5If the boiler is for hot standby, parallel off the furnace front fuel system completely and stop induced
draft fan, air blower and primary air fan and close all the baffle banking after purging. All the valve holes,
ash valves and flue gas duct valves of boiler shall be closed tightly in the early stage of shutdown in order
to prevent the boiler from cooling sharply caused by large amount of cold air leak in the boiler.
8.6 Control the temperature difference of boiler drum wall strictly that cannot be higher than 50 when
shutdown. If the wall temperature difference exceeds the protection limit value of boiler drum, close all the
drain valves until the temperature difference is within the limit value.
8.7Stop the operation of air preheater when the gas temperature of air preheater inlet is lower than 125;
fire detector fan can be stopped when the gas temperature is lower than 120.
8.8 When the steam drum pressure of boiler is 0.5MPa, thermal drainage mode will be used to protect or
heating charging, dry maintenance, nitrogen charging etc. preservation methods will be used according to
the command of chief engineer.
8.9 Oil system of all auxiliary equipment shall be kept operating when there is no maintenance and cooling
water of equipment shall be kept unobstructed. Open the drain valve of pipeline to drain off the water if
cooling water is stopped using, if no drain valve, contact the maintainer to open the flange to drain off
water;
8.10Drainage with pressure shall be used when the boiler drains off, open all the discharge valves, drain
valves and vent valves of pipeline header of boiler proper fully. If not drain off, it shall be maintain the
steam drum pressure 0.2~0.5MPa;
8.11 All the steam system and water system that stop operating shall drain off the stored water;
8.12 Doors and windows of boiler house and auxiliary equipment room shall be closed tightly.

Chapter 9 Boiler Shutdown Preservation


The preservation method after boiler shutdown. The preservation method will be chosen according to the
time length after shutdown. Wet preservation is usually adopted by boiler, in some special situations, dry
preservation by nitrogen is also adopted.
9.1 Maintenance principles
9.1.1 Operating equipment is used for short-time standby, pressure-containing parts has no check &
maintenance work and mostly will be used for maintenance when it prepares to start up at any moment.
9.1.2 When the operating equipment is overhaul or minor maintenance or standby for more than 10 days,
Drain with pressure and drying with remaining heat will be generally used for maintenance.
9.1.3 When the operating equipment is standby for a long time that is more than one month, it shall use
hydrazine & ammonia solution method for maintenance, but pay attention that the chloride ion content in
the water cannot exceed 2g/L in order to avoid the intergranular corrosion. If the pressure-containing part
of boiler is tight, it can use ammonia charging for maintenance.
9.1.4 The cold furnace should not be switched to dry-type anti-corrosion. For the last resort, it must ignite
to boost up to 30% of rated pressure, and then reduce the pressure, using the drying with remaining heat
method for preservation.
9.2 Wet preservation
9.2.1 Refer to the table below for the preservation during shutdown of each heating surface of boiler:

9.2.2 The water injection PH value for wet preservation equals to 10.
9.2.3 Use nitrogen to maintain the drum pressure to 0.034MPa if the economizer, water wall, superheater
and reheater overflow during the initial operation period after hydraulic test.
9.2.4 Operating method for short term preservation:
9.2.4.1 Open the air valve of reheat steam line immediately after unit parallel-off to let the boiler continue
operating for drying out (the temperature displayed on the flue gas thermometer is <538).
9.2.4.2 Close each water discharge valve and sampling valve after flameout of boiler and feed water with
the flow rate of 100T/H to +200mm of drum water level.
9.2.4.3 Inform the chemical personnel for dosing N2H4=200ppm and PH=10 when the boiler water
temperature is below 180; when boiler water continues decreasing to 150, shut down the boiler water
pump.
9.2.4.4 Blanket nitrogen for preservation of drum superheater when the drum pressure is 0.196MPa.
58

9.2.5 The procedure for unit long term preservation is the same as that of short term preservation, of which
the operation are as follows:
9.2.5.1 Inform the chemical personnel for dosing N2H4=300~1000ppm when the boiler water temperature
is 180 and shut down the boiler water pump when the temperature is 150.
9.2.5.2 When the drum pressure is 0.196MPa, blanket nitrogen for preservation of superheater and main
steam line; the nitrogen pressure will be al little higher than the drum pressure when the main steam line
temperature is above 100.
9.2.5.3 Stop nitrogen blanketing and use the superheater back washing system to fill N2H4 and NH3
deaerated water to superheater with the water temperature at above 50 and slowly open each air valve at
the same time, and close it when the air valve overflow.
9.2.5.4 Blanket nitrogen again after water filling.
9.2.5.5 Close the air valve of reheater system when the reheater pressure is <0.196MPa; fill water to
reheater by using the attemperating water valve when the steam line temperature is 100 (N2H4 and NH3
deaerated water with temperature above 50). Slowly open the air valve and keep the pressure in
reheater >0.0196MPa during water filling.
9.2.5.6 Stop filling water and blanket nitrogen for preservation when the reheater air valve overflows; if
there is no pressure during reheater preservation, extract the vacuum before performing the above
operation.
9.3 Nitrogen replacement dry preservation
9.3.1 The boiler will maintain certain combustion rate after unit shutdown; open the air valve of reheater
pipe and dry out the interior; close the air vent valve for nitrogen blanketing when the reheater pressure
decreases to 0.196MPa.
9.3.2 Maintain the nitrogen pressure at above 0.034MPa when the reheater temperature is 100.
9.3.3 When the drum pressure is 0.196MPa, blanket nitrogen to drum, superheater system and the nitrogen
blanketing pressure is a little higher than drum pressure.
9.3.4 Keep the outlet valve open when the boiler water pump shuts down.
9.3.5 Vent the water inside the continuous blowdown flash tank and close the continuous blowdown
intercept valve of drum.
9.3.6 Keep the nitrogen pressure in boiler at 0.034MPa when discharging water from boiler; close all water
discharge valves after water discharging.
9.3.7 Regularly check that the nitrogen pressure is maintained at 0.034MPa during preservation period;
regularly test the purity of N2 by chemical personnel, make up nitrogen again to keep the pressure constant
until it is qualified if it is unqualified.
9.4 Preservation during boil maintenance
9.4.1 Perform preservation as required, such as using NH3-N2H4 for passivating treatment before boiler
shutdown if there are boiler maintenance works after the unit shuts down.
9.4.2 Add NH3-N2H4 to drum.
59

9.4.3 When the N2H4 concentration of boiler water reaches 300~400ppm and PH=10.5, start up boiler water
pump to mix them evenly and keep for 2h.
9.4.4 When the drum is at 8.0MPa and 4.0MPa, blow down periodically every half minute.
9.4.5 When the drum pressure decreases to 0.5MPa, open all air valves, blowdown valves, and drain valves
quickly for water draining with pressure.
9.4.6 If the maintenance time is more than 1 month, place silica gel inside the drum and water wall lower
header on the base of drying by remaining heat and check the drier and internal corrosion once a month.
9.5 Anti-freezing of boiler
Make an overall check for anti-freezing measures that there cannot be bare pipeline and anti-freezing
heating device of each part of pipeline proper is put into operation prior to winter. Heating pipe of fuel
pipeline is put into operation perennially and it cannot be checked & maintained in winter. Seeper in the
gauge tube shall be drained off. Each hole valve and baffle of standby boiler shall be closed and the
maintained boiler shall have the measures that prevent the cold air from flowing into. Shutdown boiler shall
be used dry mode protection in winter as far as possible, air heater shall be put into operation when the
superheater pipe wall temperature <20 and air preheater shall keep operating after the air heater is put
into operation. If there is water in the boiler and boiler water temperature is lower than 10, filling water
and drainage water shall be carried out and drainage shall be done at each low point in turn.

Part 3 Operation & Maintenance of Boiler


Chapter 1 Operation Adjustment
1.1 Purposes and tasks of operation adjustment
1.1.1 Ensure that the main parameters are in the normal range during operation, find out and handle the
existed defects of equipment in time, take full advantage of monitoring function of the computer to make
the unit operate safely, economically and efficiently.
1.1.2 Adjust water filling and combustion of boiler to meet the demands of unit load.
1.1.3 Keep the furnace combustion conditions good and the heating surface clean, reduce exhaust gas
temperature and heat loss, and improve the boiler efficiency.
1.1.4 Keep steam temperature, steam pressure, steam drum and water level normal.
1.1.5 Keep various steam water qualities by means of continuous blowdown and periodic blowdown of
boiler.
1.1.6 Operation modes of equipment and system should be arranged reasonably to make sure they operate
in the best conditions and to improve the economical efficiency of the unit.
1.2 Governing of steam temperature
1.2.1 Governing of superheated steam
1.2.1.1 Governing of superheated steam is divided into two stages of spray governing, the first stage acts as
rough governing at the division wall inlet and the second stage spray acts as fine governing between rear
platen and final stage superheater.
1.2.1.2 The governed parameter of first stage spray is the outlet temperature of division wall and that of the
second stage spray is the outlet steam temperature of superheater.
1.2.1.3 Adjust the combustion center and normal soot blowing appropriately.
1.2.2 Governing of reheat steam temperature
1.2.2.1 The reheat steam temperature is governed depending on the sway of burner during boiler normal
operation. Reheat steam spray is used in emergency circumstance.
1.2.3 When boiler load is more than 50%MCR, the outlet steam temperature of superheater and reheater
should be controlled at rated 541. When the load is less than 50%MCR, the steam temperature of
superheater and reheater should be controlled according to the steam temperature curve of turbine start.
1.2.4 In normal condition, the steam temperature of superheater and reheater should be controlled
according to the starting curve with the maximum 541.
1.2.5 Superheater steam temperature governing uses two stage spray attemperator, the first stage
attemperator controls steam temperature at the inlet of platen superheater and the second stage controls the
outlet. When boiler operates stably, the automatic spray of first and second stages are input, when steam
temperature fluctuate wildly, manual adjustment can be applied. The steam temperature should be with
superheat of above 11 at least after each stage of attemperator.
1.2.6 The spray volume control of superheater should not be changed radically, water spray on both sides
should be close, and steam temperature deviation of both sides is not more than 15. If water spray is
excessive or water spray deviation and steam temperature deviation of both sides are excessive, adjustment
measures such as soot blowing, burning, and etc. should be taken.
1.2.7 The governing of reheater steam temperature mainly relies on burner swing angle governing, if burner
swing angle can not meet the demands of temperature governing, reheater attemperating water can be used
to assist governing.
1.2.8 When boiler load is 10%MCR, spray attemperator should not be put into operation generally. If the
61

water spray must be put in, working personnel should note the steam temperature change after water spray
in case the steam with water. Especially, when the electric pump is operating, the steam temperature change
after water spray should receive more attention.
1.2.9 Make comprehensive analysis of the reason of steam temperature changes and adjust overall, but not
one-sided rely on water spray to control the steam temperature.
1.2.10 Coal mill trip or other load rejection conditions occur in the unit operation, automatic control of
attemperating water should be lifted and switch to manual adjustment to avoid the large lag of automatic
adjustment causing wide fluctuations of main and reheater steam temperature.
1.3 Load adjustment
1.3.1 Run up
Start and stop the coal mill according to the following procedure:
1.3.1.1 Start up the primary fan and start up the coal mill.
1.3.1.2 Start up coal feeder, of which the control should be in MANUAL and started up by min speed.
1.3.1.3 Adjust the hot and cold wind valve to make the coal mill reach the operating temperature.
1.3.1.4 When coal mill start pulverizing and pulverized coal fire is on, increase the coal rate gradually and
balance each coal mill output, and then switch coal mill control to AUTO.
1.3.1.5 Adjust the air flow to stabilize combustion.
1.3.2 Run down
1.3.2.1 If the rundown of unit makes the operating coal feeder speed decrease to very low, stop one set of
coal mill. The operators determine to stop the nozzle of the upper most layer or undermost layer according
to the steam temperature and combustion situations.
1.3.2.2 Increase the output of other operating coal mill to keep stable decrease of load after stopping one set
off coal mill. Stop the coal feeder before stopping coal mill; the coal mill should operate for a while and
then stop the coal mill after the pulverized coal is exhausted.
1.3.2.3 When the coal mill stops, the coal mills with nozzles at adjacent layers should be in operation. Put
the oil gun next to the operating pulverized coal nozzle if load decreases to below 50%.
1.3.2.4 The boiler is equipped with 7 sets of positive-pressure direct firing pulverizing system with
medium-speed mill cold primary air fan, as firing the design coal, 6 mills are for operation, and 1 mill for
standby.
1.3.3 Normal load change rate
1.3.3.1 It is 15MW/min during sliding pressure operation.
1.3.3.2 18MW/min during constant pressure operation.
1.3.3.3 Normal load change is allowed for 5min and then keep for 5~10min.
1.3.4 Max load change rate
1.3.4.1 It is 18MW/min during sliding pressure operation.
1.3.4.2 It is 18MW/min during constant pressure operation
1.4 Adjustment of combustion
1.4.1 Determine the proper primary, secondary and fuel air proportion according to the coal quality, thus
organize good furnace combustion conditions, control and adjust primary, secondary and fuel air to reach
the reasonable air proportion requirements and monitor air proportion of left and right side to adjust and
eliminate air volume deviation in time.
1.4.2 Observe furnace flame and chimney gas discharge in boiler operation. Maintain stable and good
combustion, gas temperature of both sides of heating surface in each stage should be close, gas temperature
62

deviation at the inlet of air preheater on both sides <15, check over the combustion situation inside the
furnace frequently, inspect the ignition condition of pulverized coal, whether there is the phenomenon of
deflect and furnace wall erosion, secondary air adjustment is based on meeting the requirements of optimal
excess air coefficient of economizer outlet, as well as the distribution of auxiliary air, fuel air and top
secondary air, excess air coefficient of furnace outlet is 1.25 at full load.
1.4.3 The flame should show bright white in fuel combustion of boiler, while the flame should show golden
yellow in coal combustion.
1.4.4 In boiler normal operation, the furnace draft and air volume should be put into automatic control. The
furnace draft should be controlled at around -50Pa~-100Pa. No smoke belches from the upper part of
furnace.
1.4.5 It should monitor whether furnace draft, air volume and other automatic control are normal in boiler
operation, and automatic controls of operating coal pulverizing system should be put into operation. Adjust
and handle in time when abnormity is found.
1.4.6 Check the operation states of flame monitor, burner baffle, coal mill in boiler operation. Regularly
and on-site check the operation condition of burners, secondary air boxes and throttle, once the problem is
found, contact and handle immediately.
1.4.7 In boiler operation, furnace front fuel system should be in good standby state.
1.4.8 In boiler normal operation, boiler exhaust gas temperature and oxygen volume of flue gas should be
kept in rated range. When changing the boiler load, notice the match of coal-air ratio. If the load changes a
little, coal feeder speed can be adjusted but should not be too large. If the load changes a lot, the coal mill
should be started or stopped.
1.4.9Try to keep opposed firing of operating coal mill, and coal mill current should be maintained within
the specified range. If the burner flame is not stable in operation, the corresponding oil gun should be put
into operation timely, and the working fluids and change of superheater steam and reheater steam should be
noted at each stage to avoid the wall overtemperature. Pay attention to furnace coke, once found, it should
be eliminated in time, regularly conduct soot blowing to the water cooled wall, and reduce boiler load when
coking is severe.
1.4.10 When adjusting steam pressure, reduce coal amount in advance in the steam pressure rising process,
when steam pressure tends to be stable, increase coal amount appropriately to stabilize the steam pressure
and avoid decreasing. In case steam pressure is too high and coal amount reduces largely, pay attention to
reducing air at the same time; if not cooperate well, the steam pressure will increase instantly instead. Keep
the reasonable pulverized coal fineness on the basis of coal quality, adjust the baffle opening of separator in
time on the basis of chemical analysis, when the load is low, appropriately reduce fitness for combustion.
1.5 Governing of water level
1.5.1 Refer to the table below for the allowable changing range of control circulation boiler drum water
level, alarm value and boiler shutdown value:
Allowable changing range
Boiler shutdown value
Boiler type
Alarm value (mm)
(mm)
(mm)
Control circulation boiler
50
+120/-170
+250/-300
1.5.2 The inspection and adjustment of steam drum should subject to differential pressure level meter.
1.5.3 In boiler normal operation, the boiler feed water should be kept continuous and uniform, the water
level of steam drum should be kept normal and stable. Local water level gauge should be consistent with
the water level indication in control room.
1.5.4 In boiler normal operation, the steam drum water level should be put into Auto. Regularly check
whether the working condition of each filling control system is good, if the automatic and water level are
found of any abnormality, switch to manual adjustment immediately and inform the thermodynamic
operator to handle it.
1.5.5 If the load increases or decreases too fast, main steam pressure changes too large or the safety valve
pops, it should pay attention to the steam drum water level change, consider the impact of false water level
change and coordinate and control the steam drum water level.
63

1.5.6 In case of water pump start and stop, furnace circulating pump and feed water system automatic
malfunctioning, boiler leakage and HPH critical drain action, it should strengthen the monitoring and
adjustment of water level.
1.5.7 When steam drum water level is high, it should reduce the amount of feed water in time and
coordinated and handle by increasing continuous and intermittent blowdown valve opening. In case of
steam drum water level being low and large filling water being needed, it should pay attention to the
operation of high and low pressure heater to prevent the heater from running out of synchronization
because of no time to drain at overload.

Chapter 2 Unit Operation Mode


2.1 Control of the unit
2.1.1 The unit can run in coordinated control mode at the load ranging 35%~100%, which should be put in
as much as possible as long as the system has no fault. In the process of start-up, after 4 mills are put into
automatic control, the unit should be put into coordinated mode step by step, with priority to CCS. In
normal operation, the unit control mode should be selected according to the health level of main and
auxiliary equipment, with abnormal side as the tracking target. In case of the following cases, it should
release the coordinated control immediately and switch to manual adjustment to avoid the extension of
accident:
2.1.1.1 RB condition occurs, but RB function fails to realize automatically;
2.1.1.2 Regulating properties get worse, the unit main parameters deviate from normal control range, and
no reply for a long time;
2.1.1.3 When the unit operates with high-load, main steam pressure continues to rise while main steam
temperature declines sharply;
During the unit shutdown at sliding parameters, the HP-IP first stage cylinder temperature of turbine should
not be less than 400, or it should ask permission of the chief engineer. After the generator-transformer
unit trips, it should release the hot standby of generator-transformer unit and make the 400kV system run
with looping-in.
2.1.2 Control mode of the unit
2.1.2.1 Basic mode (BASE)
When the boiler controller and turbine controller are in manual mode, the control mode is basic mode.
2.1.2.2 Boiler following mode (BF)
Turbine control is independent of LDC, boiler control in automatic mode is boiler following mode (BF).
Whenever the turbine control in manual mode while the boiler controller in automatic mode, LDC will be
forced to boiler following mode .
2.1.2.3 Turbine following mode (TF)
When boiler controller is in manual mode and turbine control is in automatic mode, it is turbine following
mode (TF). When it is necessary to exit coordinated control, it should exit progressively and avoid
switching directly.
2.1.2.4 Coordination mode (CCS)
64

When the boiler controller and turbine controller are in automatic mode, CCS control mode can be
achieved, and CCS has two ways, which are CBF (boiler master controller for main track) and CTF
(turbine master controller for main track).
2.1.3 Load rejection (RB)
2.1.3.1 The unit operates in CCS mode, load rejection of LDC will occur in one of the following cases:
a. Two forced draft fans are operating, one stops;
b. Two induced draft fans are operating, one stops;
c. Any mill stop.
d. Only one feed water pump remained is operating;
e. Two primary air fans are operating, one stops;
f. Only one boiler water recirculation pump remained is operating.
2.2 Protection interlock operation mode of the unit
2.2.1 All the protection and interlock of all the operating and standby equipment should be put into service.
When it needs to quit running because of problem, it must go through the specified approval procedures. If
any abnormal condition of parameter is founded in operation, when confirming measuring loop or
measuring element fault, in order to prevent protection malfunction, thermodynamic operator should be
contacted to remove possible malfunction protection. After the tripping of power equipment, it is necessary
to check whether electric protection operates, and then confirm the thermal protection, if the trip reason is
unclear, equipment should not be put into operation again (except for incident handling). After standby
equipment is interlocked, interlock reason should be checked out completely, if causing by original
equipment fault, it should be stopped for maintenance.
2.2.2 For generator-transformer unit, part of protections can be stropped in emergency, but two main
protections can not be stopped at the same time.
2.2.3 After the unit trips, Turbine trips Electrical and Electrical trips Turbine protection should be
removed. After grid-connect, Electrical trips Turbine and Turbine trips Electrical protection should be
put in immediately. After pulverizing system puts into operation.

3.5Set three boiler water circulating pumps for each boiler, 3 sets are operating in normal operation of
which 2 sets can operate with full load and 1 set can operate with 60% BMCR load.

Chapter 4 Operation Mode of Pulverizing System


4.1 The unit with load between 360~480MW, should keep 5 mills operating, or it is necessary to start
another mill or stop one.
4.2 In normal operation, try to keep coal mill operate at rated condition. In the process of unit peak pitching
load decrease, when all the operating coal mills output reduces to less than 50t/h, one coal mill must be
stopped operating. In the process of load increase, when all the operating coal mills output are close to
maximum output but still can not meet the demands, one standby coal mill must be started and each
operating coal mill output should be balanced.
4.3 When starting or stopping the pulverizing system in coordinated mode, the LDC control mode should
be switched to HOLD to prevent disturbance due to load increase or decrease in the coal mill starting
process; in mill warming and coal mill blowing process, the air flow should be increase or decrease slowly
to avoid causing air flow sudden change of other coal mill
4.4 In normal condition, the standby coal mill should be switched in night shift everyday. When it is at
valley on the eve, one coal mill should be stopped, when it is meeting the peak in the morning, another coal
mill shutdown for longtime should be started. If there is no exceptional circumstance, the continuous
standby time of coal mill should be no more than 3 days. Switch the mill oil pump before the mill is
stopped.
4.5 The coal mill current should maintain normal.

good condition; sufficient expansion clearance is reserved for the heating surface expansion parts according
to the drawings and the expansion indicator clips are well installed; all welding parts meet the requirements
and the expansion indicator disc and pointer of main monitoring points are well installed and in zero.
2.3.8.4 All the boiler safety valves should adopted blowdown preventing measures at 85% pressure and the
control switch of electrical pressure relief valve is in OFF position to prevent the opening of valve during
hydraulic test. Before any hydraulic test, of which pressure is higher than the normal operating pressure, all
safety valves should be mounted with blocking plate according to related instruction of manufacturer, and
just close the safety valve if the test pressure equals to or is lower than the normal operating pressure.
2.3.8.5 Make sure the boiler steam and water system has been isolated from steam turbine and all water
drain valves at the rear of steam turbine main steam valve, proper, front of HP steam exhaust vale and rear
intermediate valve and all drain valves of low power steam turbine out of the scope of hydraulic test have
been opened.
2.3.8.6In hydraulic test, the ambient temperature is generally above 5, otherwise, there should be reliable
winter proofing and anti-freezing measures. water temperature is not below ambient temperature and not
below 20 in any condition.generally at 20~70.The metal temperature should not be higher than
50 when hydraulic test.
2.3.8.7 Check that all boiler valves are in the right state according to the check card of hydraulic test before
filling water to boiler.
2.3.8.8 The spring hanger of main steam pipeline within the scope of hydraulic pressure should be well
fixed before test.
2.3.8.9 Superheater and reheater attemperating water electrical valve AUTO has been relieved.
2.3.8.10 The water used for hydraulic test should be qualified. Use desposed condensate or desposed
demineralized water , the disposal should include of 10ppm ammonia and 200ppm hydrazine. PH of water
disposed according to this measure is about 9 to 10 and content of chloride ion is less than 0.2mg/L.
2.3.8.11 Before filling water to the water wall and superheater, make sure the drum and all foreign
substance in the header tank have been cleaned out, all water drain valve are closed and all air release
valves are open.
2.3.8.12 Do the check and preparation work of electrical feed water pump well according to the operating
instruction of feed water pump.
2.3.8.13 The hydraulic test should be done before the installation of furnace circulating pump motor, at this
time, the pump casing receiving the test should be closed by special hydraulic plate. During the test,
manhole and hand-hole, etc. of pressurized parts should not use temporary sealing equipment, closure plate
of pipe joint, flange cover and angle weld seam of valve base should have enough intensity. Check the
drum and lower water drum and the manhole door is well sealed.
2.3.9 Operational method of hydraulic test
2.3.9.1 There must have uniform command in hydraulic test, pressure rising and reducing cannot be done
until receiving the permission of site commander.
2.3.9.2 The order for hydraulic test is from LP to HP. Perform hydraulic test to reheater system at first and
77

then to the economizer, water wall and superheater system.


2.3.9.3 During reheater hydraulic test, use the intermediate stage bleed-off of electrical feed water pump to
fill water and increase the pressure through reheater attemperating water pipe.
2.3.9.4 During reheater hydraulic test, fill water to superheater in normal water filling method to full, and
then use superheater attemperating water pipe to increase the pressure. During the over pressure test, use
the plunger pump to test the pressure.
2.3.9.5 Close all air valves along the water flow direction when there is water overflowing continuously
after the water is filled to boiler.
2.3.9.6 Before boiler pressurizing, it is necessary to check that the drum wall temperature is not lower than
21, then use electrical feed water pump to increase the pressure through attemperating water pipe with
pressure rising speed of 0.3MPa/min.
2.3.9.7 Primary and secondary air respectively uses their corresponding attemperating water control valve
to increase the pressure with pressure rising speed not exceeding 0.3 MPa/min.
2.3.9.8 When the pressure rises to about 10% of the maximum allowable boiler working pressure (drum
pressure is 1.9MPa and the reheater pressure is 0.5MPa), stop pressure rising and perform initial inspection,
and then continue increasing the pressure if there is no abnormity.
2.3.9.9 When the pressure rises to 80% of the minimum setting pressure of safety valve (i.e. drum pressure
is 15.7MPa and reheater pressure is 3.4MPa), pause pressure rising and continue increasing the pressure
after tightly impacting the drum, superheater and reheater safety valve by compressing device.
2.3.9.10 When the pressure rises to the boiler working pressure or design pressure, close the feed water
valve for 5min and record the pressure decreasing valve, and then open the feed water valve slightly to
maintain the working pressure or design pressure and perform an overall check.
2.3.9.11 Parallel off the drum water level gauge when perform over pressure hydraulic test. Continue
increasing the pressure to over pressure test pressure after the check work is normal, and then close the feed
water valve and keep for 5min, and record the pressure reducing valve and then maintain the stable
pressure to perform overall check.
2.3.9.12 After the test, open the continuous blowdown or water drain valve to decrease the pressure in the
speed of 0.3~0.5MPa/min. Perform overall check when the pressure is down to working pressure or design
pressure.Pressure reducing should be paused when the drum pressure decreases to 85% of rated working
pressure, and then continue reducing the pressure after the measures for preventing safety vavle popping
are removed.
2.3.9.13After the hydraulic test for reheater, close the reheater attemperating water electrical isolating valve
to release the pressure naturally and then do the hydraulic test for the economizer, water wall and reheater.
2.3.9.14 When the pressure is down to zero, open the air valve and water drain valve for water drainage .if
the boiler is prepared to be put into operation and the water is qualified, discharge water to the ignition
water level. Drainage in the superheater, main steam pipeline and reheater should be discharged.
2.3.9.15If the boiler is not put into operation in short term, close all air valves and water drain valves to
stop pressure releasing when the pressure is down to 0.5MPa, perform nitrogen blanketing protection or
other reliable shutdown maintenance measures.
78

2.3.10 Approval standard of boiler hydraulic test


2.3.10.1 5min after closing the feed water valve to stop the feed water pump, the primary air pressure
reducing should not exceed 0.5MPa and secondary air pressure should not exceed 0.25MPa; the pressure
reducing of economizer, water wall and superheater system should not exceed 0.1MPa/min and reheater
system pressure reducing should not exceed 0.05MPa/min.
2.3.10.2 The metal wall and welding seam of bearing parts has no leakage trace (no any water drops and
mist trace).
2.3.10.3 There is no significant residual deformation on the pressurized parts after macroscopic
examination
2.3.11 Precautions in boiler hydraulic test
2.3.11.1 During hydraulic test, there should be special person in charge of pressurizing to prevent
over-pressure. The pressure should be subject to the indication on drum local pressure gauge and there
should be special person monitoring LCD pressure in control room. Also, the local pressure gauge should
be monitored by special personnel, who should reduce the pressure rising speed when it is close to the test
pressure to prevent overpressure; the personnel monitoring the upper and lower pressure should contact
with each other very often and the thermal workers should check and confirm when the upper and lower
pressure indication has large difference.
2.3.11.2 During hydraulic test, continuous and intermittent blowdown electrical valves and reheater inlet
water drain valves, etc. are used as quick pressure relief measures to prevent overpressure.
2.3.11.3 To prevent overpressure of LP system related to hydraulic test, the related water drain valve should

other non stalled fan. Properly turn down the moving blade of the stalled fan while harmoniously adjust the
forced draft fan and induced draft fan to keep furnace negative pressure within the allowable range.
2) If surge occurs during fan parallel operation, parallel operation shall be stopped and stalled fan moving
blade shall be turned down. Only after causes are identified and surge is removed, can parallel operation be
conducted.
3) If the reason for fan surge is that damper and baffle of air flue gas system are mistakenly turned off,
immediately turn them on and meanwhile adjust the moving blade opening. If it is damper or baffle fault,
immediately reduce boiler load and contact maintenance personnel for treatment. If it is caused by
sootblowing, immediately stop the sootblowing.

extinguishing system, of which the startup process is: When fire occurs to oil tank, manually confirm it
133

when extinguishing control cabinet receives the fire alarm signal sent from detectors distributed in
protected area. Start the solenoid valve on deluge valve, the system will operate and oil tank top will spray
foam to extinguish the fire. During fire extinguishing, conduct water cooling to both oil tank on fire and
adjacent oil tanks. Oil tank cooling adopts fixed water-curtain cooling mode and water-curtain cooling
system for each oil tank is designed with one set of deluge valve apparatus which is installed in foam
extinguishing compartment. Extinguishing water supply pipes are arranged in a ring around oil tanks and
the outdoor basement fire hydrants are installed as well, which are 15 meters away from oil tanks. When oil
tanks are on fire, first start up low pressure fire pump, and low pressure fire water goes through foam mixer
where water and foam liquid will blend at the ratio of 6% and that will form the foam solution which will
pass through the pipes into foam generator. Air will be pumped in by suction port of foam generator and
forms foam to flow through internal wall of oil tanks via guiding cover to oil surface on fire forming a thick
layer of foam covering on oil surface to get the fire suffocated and finally extinguished.
9.6.2 Check and test on foam extinguishing system

comprehensive inspection on all equipment, pipes and fittings of foam extinguishing system. Check and
replace foam liquid, and do foam spray test of the system. After the test, clean and restore the system to
normal standby state.
9.6.2.4 Semiannual check: Conduct a leakage detecting test on capsule, of which the method is to open the
water discharge valve to check if there is foam in the discharged water.
9.6.2.5 Shift check
Check the sealing of foam mixer and foam tank is good without rust or corrosion and the valve switch is
correct. Check if there is foreign body in foam generator and clear it if it is found. Check the foam pipe is
free of corrosion or rust or mechanical damage.

13.5 The operation and precautions of Boiler sootblowing


The purpose of soot blowing is maintaining the heating surface clean and the flue gas duct smooth. During
sootblowing, following proceedings should be paid special attention:
1During sootblowing, it should properly increase the furnace negative pressure, maintain load stable and
enhance watching and adjusting steam pressure and steam temperature.
2During the boiler start stage, air preheater continuous blowing.During normal operation, air preheater
should be blown one time every group(about 4-8 hour).
3Boiler heating surface should sootblow partially or completely based on its clean condition. (Air
preheater should be blown before or after heating surface sootblowing.)
4Sootblowing should be carried out according to the flowing direction of flue gas, ant it should be done
simultaneously and symmetrically.
5Sootblowing should be carried out when the load higher than 70% and the burning is stable. If the load is
too low, sootblowing would take vapour, which would decrease furnace temperature and any unburned
combustible fuel aggrading in the furnace corners and on back heating surface, which would bring on
furnace deflagrating and burning again.
6In course of sootblowing, it forbids anyone to open the access hole near sootblower to observe burning.
Sootblowing should be stopped immediately when the burning is not stable or MFT and RB is
responding.
7It forbids sootblower extending into furnace without steam flow. Before sootblower extending into or
withdrawing from furnace, it should maintain steam valve opening and steam flowing through sootblower
all the time to avoid burning out.
8) In course of sootblowing, the sootblower should be withdrawn from furnace manually at once when
electromotor go wrong. After withdrawing, the steam valve could be closed.
9) After finishing sootblowing, the steam drain should be closed and recover normal furnace negative
pressure.
Sootblowing can improve boiler economic efficiency. However, operator should decide blowing frequency
based on parameters such as exhaust gas and main steam temperature since blowing too frequently may
cause damage to pipes on heating surface.
