standby.
(2) Wall type radiant reheaters and long distance superheater isolation plates are installed for
up section of the furnace to enhance the radiation of the reheaters and superheaters. Wall type
radiant reheaters lie at up furnace rear wall and two side walls. Six (6) isolation plates are installed
in the direction of boiler width and functions as cutting the revolving gas flow to reduce the
temperature difference of gas that entering into horizontal gas duct in direction of boiler width.
(3) Forcing recycle system of rifled tube membrane cooling water wall is adopted to decrease
boiler recycle rate to about 2 for using circulating pump with low head pump to reduce power
consumption and improve its running reliability. Water circulation of every kind of working condition
of cooling water wall loop is accurately calculated by computer to ensure its reliability. Membrane
cooling water wall is welding type of plain tube adding with flat steel.
(4) Steam cooling fixing pipes and hanging pipes are furthest adopted for all stages
superheaters and reheaters to ensure reliable operation. At splitter plate and rear plate along
furnace width, there are six (6) groups of steam cooling fixing clamping pipes, between which and
wall type reheaters guide device is installed to fix and clamp the tube plates to avoid shaking
during operation. Steam cooling fixing pipe crossing through furnace are installed for fixing
superheater rear plate and reheater front plate to keep transverse space between plates and avoid
shaking during operation. Water cooling type hanging pipes introduced from outlet header of
economizer are adopted for suspending and fixing horizontal low temperature superheater
arranged in rear gas duct. Economizer adopts metal supporters for fixing. For the pipe plates
1
(superheater splitter plate, superheater rear plate, reheater front plate) in high temperature section,
the most inside pipe rings are prolonged for clamping bottom pipes of pipe plates.
(5) According to home operation experience and characteristics of designed coal, reasonable
gas speed is adopted in design of convection heating surface.
(6) Biggish transverse pitch is adopted for all stages superheaters and reheaters to avoid slag
and ash on heating surface and, to be convenient for installing sealing devices at place where
coiled pipes crossing roof to improve the seal of boiler roof.
(7) Pipes with biggish diameters, such as57, 60 and 63 are adopted for all stages
superheaters and reheaters. To enhance pipe rigidity during manufacturing and installation, which
would benefit reduce resistance of superheater and reheater. For such biggish diameter pipes,
aligned arrangement benefits for both reducing abrasion at air side of the pipe and improving its
abrasion resistant ability.
(8) Single or several big diameter connection pipes are adopted for connection between
stages of superheaters and reheaters to mix steam effectively and avoid error. Big diameter tee

3.1 Equipment brief introduction and parameters
3.1.1 Drum
3.1.1.1 Brief introduction
Boiler barrel is made from SA-299 carbon steel material with inner diameter of 1778mm(70)
and straight section of 28450mm, and spherical sealing heads are adopted for the two ends. The
thickness of up and down section of boiler barrel are different with up section of 182mm and down
section of 153mm. Ring sandwich structure is adopted inside boiler barrel for channels of
steam-water mixture to make temperatures of up and down wall of boiler barrel even that would
quicken boiler start and stop. 124 cyclone separators with diameter of 254mm are arranged in
boiler barrel with maximum steam flow of 17.64t/h of each separator.
Saturation steam eduction socket, steam water mixture introducing socket, discharge valve
socket and auxiliary steam socket are installed on top of boiler barrel; big diameter downcomer
socket and feedwater socket are installed at bottom of boiler barrel; manhole, safety valve socket,
continuous blowdown socket and high & low water level indicator sockets are installed on head.
Welding should not be done on boiler barrel at site.
The devices inside boiler barrel are to separate water from the steam produced in cooling
water wall and to reduce dissolving salt content in steam to be lower than regulated standard.
Generally, steam water separation includes three phases, former two of which are completed in
cyclone separator and the third operation is at top section of boiler barrel, and is completed before
steam entering into saturation steam eduction pipe.
Steam-water mixture produced in cooling water wall enters into top section of boiler barrel
(W-9) through steam-water eduction pipe (W-31), and then flows from two sides through narrow
channel formed by dampers along whole boiler barrel length; due to damper and boiler barrel shell

4
are concentric, steam-water mixture has a constant speed and heat transfer rate, which makes
boiler barrel be under a same temperature constantly. Steam-water mixture turns to upward at
down edge of damper and enters into two cyclone separators.
The secondary separation is realized in cyclone separator.
The first separation is produced between the two concentric cylinders. When moving upward
and entering into inner cylinder of cyclone separator, steam-water mixture produces acentric
rotating movement under force of rotating blade, which makes the heavier water flow upwards
along inner cylinder wall and turn downwards when meeting with turning plate bending at top of
inner cylinder, and flow back to boiler barrel through channel between two cylinders. The
separated steam flows upwards continuously for the second separation.
The second separation is completed in two groups of wave type thin plates arranged tightly at
top of cyclone separator. When goes through zigzag channel between thin plates and due to
inertia, water contained in steam hits onto wave type thin plates; and due to the steam speed is not
very high, this water wont be brought up again. Thus, the separated water flows down along ripple
plates and drops along the wave plates edge at steam outlet.
After the second separation, steam flows upwards for the third (the last) separation. Several
rows of shutter separators are arranged along boiler barrel length at top of boiler barrel and
drainage water pipelines are installed among rows; when steam goes through zigzag channel
between shutter bending plates in quite a low speed, residual water in steam will accumulate on
wave type plate and the water wont be brought up again but flows along wave plates to drainage
pipes, from which these water flows back to boiler barrel.
3.1.1.2 Boiler barrel water level control value:
Normal water level: Under boiler barrel center line 229mm
Permit water fluctuation value: Normal water level 50mm
Alarm water level: Normal water level +127mm

water and steam sampling are installed on boiler barrel, and sockets, corresponding valves, local
water indicators and balancing vessels are installed for boiler barrel water level alarm and
protection.

3.1.5 Economizer
3.1.5.1 Brief introduction
Economizer is to heat up boiler feedwater, which reclaim heat from gas that is leaving from
boiler.
Economizer is installed at down section of gas duct at back end shaft of the boiler with pipe
of515.5; its section in boiler width section consists of 132 horizontal coiled pipes that are in
aligned arrangement. All the coiled pipes come out from inlet header and end at outlet header.
Feedwater enters into inlet guiding pipe of economizer through check valve and motorized
gate valve of economizer, and then enters into coiled pipes through inlet header of economizer.
The water in coiled pipes flows upwards in adverse current to the gas, which is to exchange heat
effectively and mitigate the possibility of stagnancy caused by steam bubble in coiled pipes. After
heated up in economizer, feedwater enters into outlet header of economizer and then enters into
outlet header through water cooling supporting tube and then is introduced into boiler barrel by
outlet guiding pipes.
Economizer recalculating pipe with 11414 and material of SA-210A1 is connecting the end
part of economizer inlet header and cooling water wall down header. When starting the boiler, the
said pipe introduces boiler water into economizer to prevent the water from boiling away. During
12
start, valve on recalculating pipeline must be open until water is supplied continuously.

Periodic blowdown Drainage water

Blowdown
Blowdown is a way to control boiler water concentration () and discharge sediment of mud.
Blowdown times depends on specific working condition of the boiler, such as water quality
characteristics, water treatment effect, boiler design characteristic and output etc. Continuous
blowdown on boiler barrel is enough under most of conditions.
If special working condition that mud sediment is produced, water treatment effect is not
good or salinity content is high, blowdown can be done through periodic blowdown pipeline of rear
water cooling wall down header. Generally, periodic blowdown should be done once per shift or
once per 24 hours, specific condition may be confirmed according to water quality.
DN125 water discharge valve is installed on boiler front water cooling wall down header and
is only used for discharging water after boiler shutdown but not emergency discharge under
normal condition or blowdown neither.

28
Check valve is installed at enclosure wall down header for drainage water and 5% startup
drainage water bypass is set on rear enclosure wall down header. 5% startup drainage water
bypass generally does not work as startup bypass but as rear enclosure wall drainage water
because there is turbine bypass system in this project.

The design of SOFA coal powder burner has considered the adaptability of design coal and
check coal within permit change range of coal quality. High quality, heat resistant stainless plate
ZG30Cr22Ni7Si2NRe, heat resistant temperature of which reaches to be more than 1050, is
adopted for nozzles to prevent primary air nozzles from burning or abrasion. Heat resistant cast
steel has a good wear resistance, which can meet the requirement that service life of nozzles of
burner is no lower than 50000 hours. Coal powder spray pipe connects with primary air pipe and
can be taken out from burner air box conveniently for dismantling, reinstalling and repair outside,
which makes the maintenance of primary air nozzles be done conveniently and quickly.
Dismantling and reinstalling outside during maintenance should be considered for structure design
of burner.
Swing burners are adopted and in foursquare tangential arrangement; during hot state
operation, both primary and secondary air nozzles can swing up and down with designed swing
angles, maximum swing angle of primary air nozzle is 27 and maximum swing angle of primary
air nozzle is 30. Nozzle swing is realized by air-driven actuator which has sufficient moment to
make burners swing neatly and synchronously. Swing angle indication and mechanical position
limit device are set on burners. Control indication and position feedback signal of actuator are 4
20mADC. Burner can expands neatly and be with no block.
The arrangement and design of burner is confirmed through modular test and symmetric
combustion is adopted. There is sufficient distance from center line of upper row primary nozzle to
bottom of panel superheater and from down row primary air nozzle center line to syphon of cold
ash hopper. There is no flame eroding cooling water wall or obvious coking and there is no
obvious coking near burner outlet and cooling water wall to ensure safe and economic operation of
the boiler. Measures for decreasing NOx in burning products and measures for stabilizing
minimum load without oil are considered in design and arrangement of burners.
Flange connection is adopted for burner and cooling water wall, their structure design can
ensure normal expansion difference movement between burner and cooling water wall and ensure
that there is no air leakage. In operation working condition, burner expands downwards with
cooling water wall.
Measures preventing ripping cooling water wall pipe due to hot load and different pipe lengths
are taken for cooling water wall fin at four corners of burner.
Secondary air damper switch of burner is rightly in position and every air valve can regulate
automatically. Total heat input of oil burner is calculated as per 20% B-MCR. Ignition system can
meet program control and ignition manner is to ignite light oil with high energy electric spark and
then ignite coal powder. Fuel oil adopts steam atomization and nozzles ensure a good fuel
atomization and complete combustion. It should be avoided that fuel oil drops to boiler button or is
brought to tail gas duct.

57
Fuel oil system consists of ring oil supply head pipe, ring oil returning head pipe, ring
compressed air head pipe for purging, branch pipes from head pipes to oil guns, high energy
igniter and its driven devices, connection metal tube, oil angle valve, purging valve, regulation
valve, quick-closing valve of returning oil supplying head pipe, oil gun and accessories.

2.2 Air box
Partition big air boxes are adopted for the boiler to improve economy of combustion and
decrease NOx discharging amount. There are two partition big air boxes at front and rear wall
respectively, which distribute air for second layer burner and first layer burner and NOx nozzles on
them. The figure dimension of air boxes are 9100206902440mm3 and 7225206902440mm3
height width thickness respectively. There are two motor-driven regulation dampers of
secondary air distribution channel at both two sides of every air box, and there are airfoil speed
measuring device in secondary air distribution channel. Regulating air amount can meet the
requirement of best combustion by regulating openness of secondary air distribution channel
damper, which makes air amount to every layer burner proper to coal powder amount entering this
layer from corresponding coal mills. When some burner and its matching coal mill stop, air inlet
damper of this partition bin should be regulated to Cooling position (at this time, air inlet amount is
about 25% of air amount in normal operation) to cool the stopped burner. Air distribution channel
motor-driven regulation damper at to sides of NOx nozzle can control the start and cooling of NOx
nozzle.
The arrangement of partition air box can make the hot power of burners at all layers and load
of coal mills different, which makes it available for the operators to regulate heat transferring in
boiler according to actual combustion in furnace and control the steam temperature.
2.3 High energy ignition device
One set high energy ignition device is set for every burner and make the burner available to
ignite automatically; high energy ignition device mainly consists of ignition exciter, ignition stem,
ignition cable, semiconductor spark plug, and ignition oil gun and propulsion device. Propulsion
device has two cylinders, which bring ignition stem and ignition gun to realize advance and retreat.
The working pressure of cylinder is 0.40.6MPa and its journey is 400mm. The cylinder controls
speed of advance and retreat of piston with single direction throttle control valve. Adjacent switch
sends messages when ignition oil gun and ignition stem advance and retreat to position.

2.5 Boiler front oil system:
There are quick-closing valve, flow indicator and pressure detection point on boiler oil
supplying head pipes, on which there are quick-closing valve, returning oil regulation valve and
pressure detection points. Oil supplying pressure (2.5MPa) during ignition by control oil gun is
controlled by regulating returning oil regulation valve openness to ensure successful ignition. Oil
system of the boiler adopts one controls one, namely oil supplying of one oil gun is controlled by
one air-driven ball valve; meanwhile, steam soot blowing also adopts one controls one, namely

grinding roll coal mill, grinding part of which consists of rotational grinding rings and three fixing
grinding rolls that roll along grinding roll and be able to turn by it. Raw coal drops onto grinding roll
from coal chute in the middle of coal mill, which moves raw coal to grinding rolling tunnel under
force of gravity; and raw coal is grinded and milled by grinding roll. The three grinding rolls are
evenly distributed on millstones along circumference; grinding force is produced by spring loading
system and effect evenly on grinding rolls through three-point system, this force is transmitted to
foundation through grinding ring, grinding roll, press frame, lever, drive plate, reducer, hydraulic
pressure cylinder and then soleplate. Grinding and drying are processed at the same time, primary
air enters into circumference of grinding roll through spray nozzles and sends coal powder thrown
out in tangential direction from grinding ring to separator at upper section of mill. Coal is separated
in separator, coarse powder is separated and returned to grind ring for grinding and qualified
powder is brought out of separator by primary air.

1.1.1 Gas-air System Brief Introduction
Gas-air system mainly consists of forced draft fan (FDF), introduced draft fan (IDF), primary
air fan (PAF), gas duct, primary and secondary air ducts, dampers and air heater. Cold air system
in this boiler adopts two FAF26.6-13-1 type single stage, drive impeller, regulable and axial flow
FDF, two PAF20-12.5-2 type double stage, drive impeller, regulable and axial flow PAF, which are
produced by Shanghai Blower Factory Co., Ltd and are running in parallel. In order to increase
primary and secondary air inlet temperature of air preheater, two SAH--3DZ2790X4340X450
type primary air and SAH--3DZ5410X8300X450 type secondary air heaters are respectively
installed at inlets of primary air and secondary air. Primary air enters into primary air
compartmentation bunker of airpreheater for heating and then enters into mill; a part of coal air
before entering into air preheater enters into mill inlet through bypass and mixes with hot primary
air, which would work as mill outlet temperature regulation air. Secondary air enters into secondary
air compartmentation of air preheater and enters into big air box after heating up and works as
combustion-supporting air. Gas discharging system adopts two AN40e6(13) stationary impeller,
regulable and axial flow air fans that are produced by Chengdu Machinery Factory Co., Ltd and
are running in parallel. Gas is discharged from boiler tail to air through air preheater, ESP and FDF.

1.1 Air Preheater Equipment Brief Introduction and Parameter
1.1.1 Air Preheater Equipment Brief Introduction
Ljungstorm Air Preheater Working Principle:
Ljungstorm Air Preheater absorbs heat from gas, the heat is then transferred to cold air
through continuously rotatating heat transferring elements consists of special type metal plates.
Thousands high efficiency heat transferring elements are close laid in sector storehouse, in
which column shell of rotors are radially comparted; rotor shell is installed outside rotor and two
ends of rotor shell connects with gas-air duct. Radial sealing and bypass sealing are installed in
preheater, which forms circulation of preheater, in half of which flows gas and in the other half of
which flows air. When rotor turns slowly, gas and air flows through heat transferring elements
alternatively, heat transferring element absorbs heat from hot gas, and then these heat
transferring elements are eroded by air flow and release stored heat. Thus, air temperature has
been increased a lot.

Rotary air preheater in this unit is type, thrisection storehouse mode and inner arranged
supporting bearing is adopted.

1.4 Air Preheater Overhaul Process, Process Method and Quality Standard
1.4.1 Preparation
1.4.1.1 Preparation before Maintaining and Overhaul
1.4.1.1.1 Safety Description
1.4.1.1.1.1 Harmful gas
During normal operation of the power plant, a certain SO2 is contained in hot gas, its
concentration depends on sulphur content in combustion and burning condition. When it is
necessary to stop air preheater for examining inside or maintaining inside of gas & air duct, cooling
and ventilation should be done for it properly to eliminate harmful gas. Rotor should keep rotating
during cooling initial stage to avoid distortion of rotor and sealing strip, open vent hole to vent air
and avoid dewing. After air preheater is cooled down (temperature should be lower than 60 to
avoid scald accident), stop rotor and cut off power supply of the motor. Following data are harm to
personnel body of SO2 with different concentration:
5ppm permit limit value
3-5ppm influence olfaction
8-12ppm stimulate throat
20ppm cause cough
50-100ppm stay for one hour
200-500ppm stay for half an hour
1.4.1.1.1.2 Acidic substance
According to different factors of sulfur content and excessive air coefficient during
combustion, most sulfur during burning is changed to be SO2, but there are still 1-5% sulfur is
changed to be SO3. SO3 and vapor in gas forms vitriol, which erode metal and endanger personnel
safety seriously. Before entering into gas & air duct, working personnel should check whether
there is corrosion at supporting place of inner platform or not, whether platform structure is reliable
or not.
All the working personnel should realize above potential danger and wear proper safety belt,
protection clothes, protective respirator and protection glasses.
1.4.1.1.1.3 HP superheating steam
Before entering into gas & air duct or demounting manhole for repairing soot blowers, first
check whether steam isolation valve on soot blower is completely closed and locked or not. If there
is leakage at the isolation valve, upriver steam source should be cut off. Other hidden troubles
causing pipeline leakage and threatening personnel safety should be avoided.
1.4.1.1.1.4 Electric equipment
Power supply of drive motor must be cut off before doing work inside air preheater to avoid
mechanical wound caused by abnormal starting.
It must be ensured that power supply is cut off and locked before repairing electric
equipments in air preheater.
1.4.1.1.1.5 Notices before repairing air preheater body

obtain work permit ticket

related operators are familiar with safety operation regulation

make sure air preheater power supply is cut off

open gas & air duct manhole

166
before entering into air preheater, check inside of air preheater, temperature of which
should be proper and it should be free from harmful gas; Make sure that inner ventilation
conditions are fine

Check whether steam and flushing water source of soot blowers are completely cut off or
not, check whether water supply of fire fighting device is completely cut off or not.

Prepare lighting equipments for work inside air preheater

Prepare scaffold and safety net in gas & air duct at bottom of air preheater, make sure that
supports are safe and reliable.

make sure that no one turns rotor of turning gear manually under condition of no any
precaution when there is no one working inside air preheater

Wear protection clothes and respirator


1.4.1.1.2 Equipment Running State before Overhaul
Before overhaul, working principal should check completely and record equipment running
state, date should be recorded for three (3) times with one (1) week space in-between.

accumulated ash in drainage water system. Check water discharging funnel and water discharging
system periodically to ensure that they are not blocked.
B Check water discharging funnels before cleaning and make sure that there is no block.
C During cleaning, in order to limit water amount brought to air side of air preheater to be
minimum, decrease rotating speed of rotor to 1/4 of main drive rotating speed (maximum rotating
speed) with frequency conversion.
D Generally accumulated ash can be dissolved easier in hot water, cleaning water can be
heated up, but it is not forceful due to that required water amount is great.
E Clean continuously until all the heating surfaces are clean. It must be checked completely,
because accumulated ash left after cleaning would coagulate on heat transferring elements, and
these accumulated ash will be undissolvable and hard to be removed after putting preheater into
operation.
F Make sure that water supply has been completely closed after cleaning. Sewage after

188
cleaning is discharged from neighboring pipeline and drainage water pipeline, preheater rotor and
heating surface should be dried immediately after cleaning air preheater.
Generally, we think it is not necessary to clean the heating surfaces with chemical, but some
operators chooses buck (water solution of NaOH) for cleaning heating surface. If this method is
adopted for heating surface cleaning, operators can do it according following steps:
Clean heating surface with water as per said processes.
NaOH solution should be supplied by a separate system. Proper equipments should be
supplied to discharge and collect NaOH solution from air preheater. Make sure water discharging
pipeline should be with sufficient to avoid sediment of impurities in pipeline. Check water
discharging funnels and pipelines periodically to avoid blocking.
Before buck cleaning, check water discharging funnel to ensure that hatch is not blocked and
to avoid wetting air preheater due to water that can not be discharged after cleaning.
Decrease rotor rotating speed to reduce alkali solution that brought to the other side of air
preheater.
PH value range of NaOH solution for cleaning heating surface should be within 9.5-10.5.
Continue to clean heating surface until PH value of NaOH solution left from air preheater
reaches to 9.5 or higher.
After alkali cleaning, make sure that buck supply has been completely closed. Sewage after
cleaning is discharged from neighboring pipeline and drainage water pipeline, preheater rotor and
heating surface should be dry before putting air preheater into operation.
It is not recommended to have Isolation cleaning for one preheater due to following reasons:
A Isolation baffle can be closed strictly or completely isolated, which means that check can
not be done well to confirm when to finish cleaning, incomplete cleaning is worsen than no
cleaning, because when air preheater is put into operation again, unclean part will be sinterred on
heating surface, which makes it very difficult for the next cleaning.
B To shorten water cleaning time may result in incomplete cleaning.
C No matter under any condition, air and gas are not allowed to flow through air preheater;
when hot heat transferring element is enclosure in cold cleaning water, the temperature changing
will shorten life of heat transferring element.
The only acceptable working condition for cleaning air preheater is boiler shutdown state,
which is planned shutdown for check or maintaining. During this time, cleaning can be done and
cleaned heating surface can be completely checked. Heating surface checking method is: take out
several elements box from every layer randomly and then dismantle them, check them piece by
piece to ensure that all accumulated ash has been removed.
Storage of elements in element box
If it needs a long time before air preheater installation or running, it is suggested that antirust
oil should be plastered on heating surface, heat transferring elements in operation should not be
plastered with antirust oil. When heating surface is clean, it is not necessary to clean it before
cleaning.
1.4.2.19 Supporting bearing
Air preheater rotor is supported on thrust radial roller bearing 294/710EF through center sleeve
and axle end device, supporting bearing should install on joist frame at cold end.

1.4.4. Guide bearing

191
(Fig. 5) Guide bearing
1.4.4.1 Preparation before guide bearing installation
A Nails should be drawn when opening bearing packing box to avoid damaging bearing in
box.
B All cloth for cleaning and using should be checked whether there is foreign material that
may cause nick or not. Finger ring should be taken off before cleaning.
C Guide bearing (especially bearing box) installation should be in consistent with general

G Protection measures should be taken for guide bearing and all parts until installation to
prevent from damage and pollution.
1.4.4.2 Guide bearing dismantling and installation
A For the convenience of installing, dismantling and replacing bearing, chain wheel crane or
similar equipment should be installed directly above bearing.
B Move away center drive mechanism and coupling
C Demount bearing box cover.
D Discharge oil from bearing box
E Loosen expansion sleeve and take off tightening sleeve, bearing and lock nuts.

192
F Now, check the bearing, demount bearing from tightening sleeve if necessary to replace.
Thus, lock plate should be firstly demounted, retreat lock nut for about 4.8mm, connect a tube to
screw hole at end of tightening sleeve. Loosen cooperation between bearing and tightening sleeve
with hydraulic pressure.
G Once bearing is loosened, take off lock nut and demount bearing from tightening sleeve.
H Measure and record radial clearance before installing new bearing on tightening sleeve. Put
bearing on a plane vertically to make outer ring and inner ring parallel, measure radial clearance
between top roller and outer ring with feeler gauge.
I Press new bearing into tightening sleeve with lock nut; if necessary, decrease the measured
radial clearance value with oil pump pressure until original radial clearance decreases by 0.18mm.
J Press lock nuts with lock plate tightly.
K Light oil should be plastered on cooperation surface of expansion sleeve and axle end,
tightening sleeve and axle end and cooperation surface of bearing inner ring and tightening

L Fix tightening sleeve on axle end with bolts on expansion sleeve, screw down M20 bolts
evenly, screwing down torque is 470N.m.
M Fill bearing box to maximum level with recommended lubricating oil, oil or light grease
should be evenly plastered on inner surface above oil level and on box cover to avoid rust.
N Earth must be done for welding after bearing installation, it is absolutely prohibited that
welding current flows through bearing surface to avoid burning bearing.
Installing and dismantling of guide bearing see as in annotations in guide bearing general
diagram.
1.4.4.3 Guide Bearing Operation and Maintenance
After bearing installation, guide bearing performance should be ensured by daily check, timely
problem resolving and periodical maintaining.

Check corrosion of surface above oil level once per month.

Check oil pollution (dust, flying ash and water) once per month.
C Once oil pollution is found, oil in bearing box should be discharged completely for cleaning.

Slow running speed has no significant influence on oil temperature rise; During operation,
the reason of any abnormal temperature rise of oil should be found out immediately. The reasons
are generally as following:
Air flow space around guide bearing is limited
Oil level is too low
Oil is too fully filled
Oil is polluted
Oil viscidity is improper
E Bearing should be repaired immediately when bearing sends abnormal sound. Low oil level,
insufficient viscidity, flying ash and oil pollution may influence bearing normal operation.
F Change oil for guide bearing; Contents related to lubrication are seen in lubrication part.
This should be done once per year or according to requirement.
1.4.5. Rotor Drive Mechanism
Air preheater adopts center transmission. Center transmission device consists of one main
motor, one auxiliary motor and one air motor. Main motor connects speed reducer through
coupling, standby motor and air motor connects with speed reducer through overrunning clutch.

193
Motor has three speed thresholds of high gear, slow gear and overhaul gear, among which high
gear is normal working gear and slow gear is for air preheater cleaning. During high gear, speed
reducer normal output bearing rotating speed: 0.9r/m; rotor normal rotating speed: 0.9r/m; rotor
rotating speed adopting frequency conversion slow speed threshold: 0.23r/m. Confirm high gear
and low gear before starting system (main switch of speed transversion), press Start button,
motor will start slowly, it costs 60s for the system to reach rated frequency and motor to reach
rated rotating speed. Preheater starting must adopt transducer slow starting up; power frequency
is not allowed for starting.
1.4.5.1 Check Transmission Operation

Operators check all exposed bolts whether they are loosened or not.

Operators check oil level periodically (every shift).

Drive mechanism runs normally or not.

Change oil for speed reducer that put into operation for the first time after half month, change
oil once per half year after normal running.
Note: See as detailed instruction in operation instruction and maintenance manual of the
manufacturer

(Fig.6) Center Drive Device


1.4.6 Air preheater lubrication
For ensuring long term, high efficiency operation, all parts of Ljungstorm air preheater should
be lubricated before running; after stable operation, make a feasible lubrication schedule
according to running condition and actual experience.
1.4.6.1 Lubricating oil amount
Rotor bearing, lower supports adopts spherical roller thrust bearing, which needs about 150
liters oil; guide bearing needs about 43.5 liters oil.

194
Note: the offered demanding oil amount for rotor supporting bearing and guide bearing does
not include oil filled into pipeline system, all oil above values are approximation, which can be
reduced or increased according actual requirement.
1.4.6.2 Selection of lubricating oil
Selection of bearing lubrication oil depends on maximum running temperature of bearing,
which depends on lubrication and cooling system model and bearing environment temperature.
Oil bath lubrication is adopted for supporting bearing and guide bearing of air preheater. The
using lubricating oil is high temperature resistant lubricating oil with plumbum cycloparaffin
additive or pure mineral oil. Due to heavy load and low speed of rotor bearing, viscidity of
lubricating oil should be about 1000SSU to ensure bearing life.
When maximum running temperatures of supporting bearing and guide bearing are the same,
selected oil for supporting bearing can also be used fro guide bearing.

We suggest that both supporting bearing and guide bearing adopt N6801000 middle load or
high load extreme industrial gear oil. Lubrication of drive mechanism speed reducer can be seen
in related manual book from the manufacturer.
Lubricant should not be filled too fully, confirm all oil levels of bearing box, speed reducer and
motor before operation.
1.4.7. Air Preheater Sealing
1.4.7.1 Brief Itroduction of Air Preheater
Ljungstorm air preheater is a rotary heat exchanger device with converse flow of air and gas.
During heat exchanging, it trends to lose energy, which is because of air leakage to gas due to
differential pressure between air and gas. Sealing system can control and reduce air leakage to
decrease energy lose. Sealing system is designed according to the principle that rotor of air
preheater distorts when heated; it includes radial sealing, axial sealing, bypass sealing and static
sealing. Thia sealing system has offered a lot regulation values for the convenience of
maintenance.
1.4.7.2 Center Sleeve Sealing
Center sleeve sealing pieces are installed at hot and cold end of inner side of every rotor
radial isolation plate (see as in radial sealing device installation diagram), center sleeve sealing
circles hot and cold end rotor center sleeve. During operation, center sleeve sealing cling static
sealing coiling of guide and supporting end shaft encircling center sleeve in connection plate of air
preheater. Notch center sleeve sealing and fix it on inner end of radial isolation plate, no matter
radial or axial (close to or far from hot end or cold end static sealing cooling), sealing can be
regulated and welded.
Generally rotor center sleeve sealing does not need to be replaced; if it is necessary, it should
be installed between radial sealing. See as center sleeve sealing replacement in radial sealing
device installation diagram and following steps should be adopted:
A. Dismantle the current sealing fittings welded on radial isolation plate and flanges and
shovel sealing welding lines to be smooth.
B. Right sealing width should be ensured during new sealing installation, sealing at cold end is
wider than that at hot end.
C. Sealing at each end is supplied in six 60 parts, notch and fix them on inner end of radial
isolation plate. During installing rotor center sleeve sealing, make sure the clearance between the
sealing and sector sealing plate surface is 10.5mm, and make sure that clearance between
sealing and circumferential sealing surface of static sealing coiling is 1.5mm.
D. Welding should be done at center sleeve sealing connection, and only weld sealing of
flange and radial isolation plate sealing.
1.4.7.3 Radial Sealing

195

(see as radial sealing device installation diagram), clearance between radial sealing piece and
sector plate is minimum during operation. Fix waist bolts holes of radial sealing piece on radial
isolation plate with bolts, sealing piece can be regulated along axial direction (close to or far away
from hot end or cold end sector plate), if these sealing pieces touch sector plates, abrasion starts;
when sealing is abraded to be insufficient for axial regulation, sealing pieces should be replaced.
See as radial sealing replacement in radial sealing device installation diagram and following steps
should be adopted:
A. Dismantle current sealing pieces and clamping slats, air cutting should be done or bolts
should be screwed off for dismantling sealing.
B. Before installing new sealing, rotor level degree should be kept within 0.4mm/m.
C. New sealing installation should be started from outer end, insert bolts with gasket into outer
& inner end bolts holes of outer sealing pieces, install radial sealing piece and fix it with nuts and
gaskets, but do not screw it down, because sealing piece may be moved out during final regulation.
Install the rest bolts and gaskets. Repeat above steps to install middle or inner side radial sealing
pieces.
D. After installing new sealing pieces on all radial isolation plates, install direction-correction
device of radial sealing, fix it on supporting channel steel with bolts, channel steel has been
welded at gas side or air side of hot & cold end connection plate with one end welded at inner side
and the other end at outer side.
E. Turn rotor to make radial sealing piece of radial isolation plate lie at edge of sector plate,
regulate inner side and outer side sealing with feeler gauge to regulated clearance (see as sealing
regulation and installation diagram) and screw down nuts. Turn rotor and make the sealing lie at
edge of every rest sector plate, check the clearance of sector plate inner side and outer side.
F. It is not necessary to regulate the sealing again if clearance variation is no bigger than
0.5mm; if clearance variation is bigger than 0.5mm, regulate clearance value according to
sealing regulation and installation diagram. Take sector plate with maximum clearance as
reference for regulation.

direction-correction device. Regulate sealing piece to make it just touch with direction-correction
device. Screw down radial sealing bolts.
I. After all radial sealing are regulated and fixed, dismantle sealing direction-correction device
and preserve it for future application.
1.4.7.4 Axial Sealing
Install axial sealing piece along axial edge of outer side of every rotor radial isolation plate
(see as axial sealing device installation diagram), clearance between axial sealing piece and static
axial sealing plate is minimum during operation. Fix waist bolts holes of axial sealing piece on
radial isolation plate with bolts, sealing piece can be regulated along radial direction (close to or far
away from sealing plate).
If these sealing pieces touch with axial sealing plates, abrasion starts; when sealing is
abraded to be insufficient for radial regulation, sealing pieces should be replaced. See as axial
sealing replacement in axial sealing device installation diagram and following steps should be
adopted:
A. Maintenance hole should be opened at proper position on shell of each side of main seat
frame for regulating axial sealing.
B. Before installing new sealing, rotor level degree should be kept within 0.4mm/m.

198
C. Dismantle current sealing pieces and clamping slats, air cutting should be done or bolts

D. Install direction-correction device of axial sealing, fix it on supporting channel steel with
bolts, channel steel has been welded at inner side of rotor outer shell close to hot & cold end of
sealing plate.
E. Regulate sealing direction-correction device, make the distance between the device and
axial flounce maximum point of hot & cold end rotor sealing angle steel be 2 mm. Turn rotors,
confirm the point with centigrade meter and mark it.
F Install clamping strip and sealing piece and fix it with nuts and gaskets; it should not be
screwed down, sealing pieces may be moved in or out during final regulation.
G Turn rotor and make axial sealing just lie before sealing direction-correction device,

dismantle sealing direction-correction device and preserve it for future application.
J. Turn rotor until a radial sealing piece on radial isolation plate faces to edge of radial sealing
plate, check and regulate axial sealing plate according to regulation and installation diagram.
Measure clearance between axial sealing piece and axial sealing plate with feeler gauge at hot
and cold end, it is not necessary to regulate axial sealing plate if variation does not exceed
0.5mm; if variation exceeds 0.5mm, move in or move out axial sealing plate with regulator to get
regulated clearance. Regulator is outside of main seat frame of air preheater.
K. Turn rotor to make axial sealing lie at inlet & outlet edge of axial sealing plate, check the
clearance, if error between the clearance and regulated value exceeds 0.5mm, axial sealing
plate should be regulated to get required clearance at hot end and cold end.
L. Turn rotor to make axial sealing faces to adverse axial sealing plate, check according to
above steps, and regulate axial sealing plate if necessary.
M. After installation of axial sealing, seal the opening.
1.4.7.5 Bypass Sealing
Install axial sealing piece at outlet and inlet of air preheater along inner side of rotor shell (see
as bypass sealing device diagram). These sealing pieces are distributed in circumference at air
side and gas side of hot end and cold end of air preheater rotor outer shell. During operation, rotor
distorts clearance between hot end and cold end rotor angle steel and static bypass sealing piece
is minimum. Open waist bolts holes on bypass sealing piece and fix it on bypass sealing angle
steel with bolts. Bypass sealing piece can be regulated along axial direction (close to or far away
from cold, hot end sector sealing surface).
If these sealing pieces touch with hot end or cold end rotor angle steel, abrasion starts; when
sealing is abraded to be insufficient for radial regulation, sealing pieces should be replaced. See
as axial sealing replacement in bypass sealing device installation diagram and following steps
should be adopted:
A. Get close to bypass sealing through inner part of air preheater hot end or cold end
connection plate ga duct.
B. Current sealing pieces and clamping strips should be dismantled for replacing these
sealing. Bolts may be cut for dismantling sealing. Preserve clamping strip for application with new
sealing pieces.
C. Before installing new sealing, rotor level degree should be kept within 0.4mm/m.
D. Right sealing width should be ensured during new sealing installation, sealing at hot end is
wider than that at cold end.

199
E. During installing new sealing pieces, make sure that out layer sealing piece and inner layer
sealing piece stagger, which makes notches on bending section stagger to each other.
F. Repair sealing piece and make it cling axial sealing plate and sector plate. One or more
sealing pieces may be corrected to face to bolts hole.
G. During installation of new sealing pieces, relative positions of sealing pieces and rotor
angle steel should be right to avoid deflection during operation. Regulated clearance between hot
end & cold end bypass sealing and rotor angle steel see as in sealing regulation diagram, regulate
sealing piece to regulated clearance.
H. Make sure that all bolts and lock nuts are screwed down.
1.4.7.6 Serious Sealing Abrasion
Sealing device and sealing surface of air preheater is arranged as this: under BMCR load,
design temperature can offer best control of air leakage. When temperature rises to be higher than
design temperature, design clearance between sealing and sealing surface is not enough make
up superfluous hot distortion, which may cause abrasion of sealing and sealing surface. Following
running conditions will cause serious sealing abrasion.
A. Gas & air temperature entering into air preheater exceeds design value.
B. Air going through preheater reduces. When air amount gets closes to zero, sealing
abrasion degree increases.
C. Hot standby state, there is gas & air in air preheater but no air flow, air preheater or boiler is
at hot standby.
D. Rotating speed of air preheater is lower than design value, sealing abrasion degree
increases with decreasing of rotor speed.
E. Air preheater is in operation before isolation.
Because sealing abrasion has increased clearance between sealing and sealing surface and
it has increased air leakage amount during normal operation under BMCR. During sealing
abrasion, if sealing contacting resistance is big enough, drive motor of air preheater may be
overloaded. Following steps should be adopted to reduce possibility of sealing serious abrasion
and related problems:
A. Whenever there is gas flows through preheater, there should be air flowing through
preheater.
B. Frequency conversion slow speed threshold only can be used for emergency and
maintenance, when adopting frequency conversion slow speed threshold to drive air preheater,
rotor speed can slow down to 1/4r/m or even slower (sealing abrasion may occur when rotor
speed is lower than 1/8r/m).
C. Air preheater should be isolated before operation.
During starting up and operation, when temperature of gas inlet, gas outlet, air inlet and air
outlet keep at or lower then design temperature under BMCR working condition, and clearance of
preheater sealing and sealing surface are well regulated, it is not necessary to take special
measures to stop abrasion of sealing system.
1.5 Safety, Health and Environmental Protection
1.5.0 Avoid secondary combustion accident at boiler tail
Rotary air preheater is equipped with reliable stop alarming device, perfect flushing system
and necessary alkali cleaning measures and alkali cleaning system that can be put into operation
at any time during boiler shutdown.
Fire fighting system connects with steam soot blowing system if air preheater; if it is
necessary in hot state, put steam in for fire fighting with isolating air. Fire fighting water spraying
pipe should be installed at air side and gas side for rotary air preheater, spraying area should
cover the whole heating surface.

200
Operation manual has clearly regulated gas humidity limit value of economizer and air
preheater under different working conditions. When gas temperature exceeds regulated value, the
boiler should be stopped immediately. Fill gas duct fully with steam by using soot blowing steam
pipe or special fire fighting steam and put into fire fighting water for putting out fire.
Regulate working condition of boiler pulverizing system and burning system, avoid unburned
oil or coal powder accumulation at tail heating surface or on gas duct.
Inlet & outlet gas & air damper of rotary air preheater should be able to be driven by motor
and can be opened fully and closed strictly.
Recirculation should be set for flush water pump of rotary air preheater, a short time start test
must be done before every ignition to ensure flush pump and its system are in fine standby state
and with condition of putting into operation at any time.
If rotary air preheater is found stopped, it should be isolated immediately, start fire fighting
steam and turning gear. If damper isolation is not strict or rotor can not be turned, boiler should be
stopped immediately.
Soot blowing should be done continuously when boiler load is lower than 25% rated load,
once per 8 h soot blowing should be done if boiler load is higher than 25% rated load; when
differential pressure at gas side of rotary air preheater is increased or coal and oil are burning in
mixture with low load, soot blowing times should be increased.
If boiler burns with mixture of oil and coal under low load, check the heating surface of air
preheater according to specific condition during boiler shutdown period, especially check middle
layer and lower layer heat transferring elements, it should be cleaned with alkali if dirty is found.
For boiler that stopped for more than a week, rotary air preheater must be checked, it should
be cleaned and ventilation & drying should be done if oil dirty or ash block occurs.

5.1.4 Automatic backwash device working principle
Automatic backwash filter working principle: working liquid enters into inside of filter through
inlet end of filter, granules with particle bigger than dimension of filtering element mesh are cut off
and left inside screen, filtered liquid flows out from outlet of filter.
When granules cut off inside screen accumulates to a certain degree, which makes differential
pressure of inlet & outlet ends increase to set value of differential pressure controller; differential
pressure sensor drives program controller to work, opens blowdown solenoid valve and starts
automatic backwash turning arm for backwashing. At this time, filtered liquid returns to screen
through filtering liquid cavity, enters into turning arms aperture of backwash arm and bring
granules attached on screen. The granules are discharged out from filter through empty axes of
backwash arm and blowdown solenoid valve. Thus, differential pressure recovers and filter
recovers to normal working state.

3. Installation methods
Bearing installation should be done according to bearing
structure, dimension and cooperation characteristics of
parts; press should be added on sleeve end surface and
press transmission through rolling device is not allowed.
Following methods for bearing installation are generally
adopted:
a. Press fit
Bearing inner ring and shaft is tight fit while outer ring
and bearing seat hole is lax fit. Press bearing on shaft by
press and then encase shaft into bearing seat hole
together with bearing, a assembling bushing (copper or
soft steel) should be filled on bearing inner ring end
surface during installation by press; assembling bushing
inner diameter should be slightly bigger than shaft neck
and its outer diameter should be slightly smaller than
bearing inner ring to avoid pressing on retaining frame.
When bearing outer ring fits bearing seat hole tightly and
inner ring fits shaft laxly, bearing can be pressed into
bearing seat hole; under this condition, assembling
bushing outer diameter should be slightly smaller than
diameter of bearing seat hole. If bearing ferrule fits shaft
and seat hole tightly, inner ring and outer ring should be
pressed into shaft and seat hole at the same time, the
frame of assembling bushing should be able to tight end
surfaces of bearing inner ring and outer ring at the same
time.
b. Heat fit
It is a method to transfer tight fit to lax fit by using hot
expansion though heating up bearing or bearing seat,
and it is a commonly used and labor saving method. This
method is applicable for bearing with great abundance.
Put bearing or ferrule of separable bearing into oil tank to
heat it up to 80-100 before installation, and then
installed it onto shaft after taking out from oil as soon as
possible to avoid untight cling of inner ring end face and
bearing shoulder due to cooling down. Axial tightness
can be done after it is cooled down. Heating up bearing
seat method is adopted to avoid contusion of fit surface
when bearing outer ring fits bearing seat made from light
metal tightly. A grid should be set a certain distance from
tank bottom when heating up bearing, or suspend
bearing with hook. Bearing can not be put on tank
bottom to avoid impurities entering into bearing or
231
uneven heating. There should be thermometer in oil tank
and oil temperature in oil tank can not exceed 100 to
avoid fire back effect that may cause decreasing of
rigidity of ferrule.
c. Tapered bearing installation
4. Check after installation. After installation, lubrication
grease or lubricating oil must be plastered timely to
avoid rust (Grease lubrication bearing seat upper cover
also should be plastered with a layer of grease evenly to
avoid rust). Mainly check: bearing rolling sound,
vibration, temperature and lubrication.

3.4.1 Silo pump
Positive pressure and dense phase pneumatic transportation system cuts materials in
pipeline into section of material and air through impulse pneumatic force; it uses static differential
pressure at two ends of material to push material to move. The hardcore of dense phase
pneumatic transportation system is a storage type pneumatic sending pump.
Silo pump consists of silo body, butterfly valve, vent valve, material feeding inlet and air
pipeline. Protuberant air nozzles inside cone makes gas produce vortex; with the increase of
pressure inside sender, materials to be sent flows in vortex, which realized successful material
transportation. Quite low air pressure can realize low speed and high concentration transportation.
Its working procedure is as following:
a. Level indicator inside ash hopper has not been covered, inlet dome valve is closed and

240
sealed, it does not consume air at this time.
b. When any level indicator of ash silo in the same group is covered, system touches off, inlet
dome valve of silo pump opens, material inlet timer starts timing and keeps a set time to make ash
drop into silo pump.
c. Once set time finishes, inlet dome valve closes, add pressure to sealing ring for sealing and
confirm sealing is normal through pressure switch. Then inlet air valve of main transporter opens,
compressed air transports ash from silo pump to ash silo.
d. Pressure transmitter is set on air inlet pipeline, when detecting that pressure in pipeline has
decreased to a certain value, close compressed air inlet valve, system recovers. Following is the
next circulation.

MD pump is applicable for middle output, middle & long distance centralized transportation
and is pressure type silo pump. Each pump includes: air inlet subassemblies, flexible connector,
material inlet dome valve, vent dome valve, outlet dome valve (only outlet pump has), shell and air
line connection fittings (including pneumatic inlet valve, filter, orifice plate, check valve etc.).
Little Amount And Many Times principle is adopted for transportation mode to strengthen
emergency storage capacity of ash silo. Because Little Amount and Many Times principle is
adopted, material low level indicator is installed very low to make ash stay in ash silo shortly, ash
silo is always in empty state. Thus, if the system is in fault, ash silo has the capacity of
8-hour-storage. This not only gets times for maintenance, but also cushion the direct influence to
dust catcher. Beside, the running characteristics of Little Amount And Many Times has also
greatly decreased heat lose and hardening of ash in ash silo.
Due to Little Amount And Many Times principle, which makes ash transportation amount
quite little for one time, but transportation times are quite more within same time; thus, relative
small silo pump is selected under ash hopper of ESP and material inlet valves diameter grade
decreases correspondingly. Because transport ash once more, valve on pipeline should be
opened and closed once more, and it leads once more abrasion and once less of life; thus, it
requires higher requirements of the valves in ash transportation system. The adopted valve is
called dome valve, which is important part in ash transportation system. Dome valve is a special
valve developed at the beginning of 1970s by Macawber subsection of Clyde Bergemann
Company for ash handling. It is casting shell structure, two rotating bearing with rotatable cast iron
dome are installed inside. Material inlet valve element is a spherical surface; during opening and
closing material inlet valve, 1mm clearance between valve element and valve body seal should be
ensured to make valve element run with no contact. There is no friction produced between valve
element and valve body. Under the state that material inlet valve is in sealing, rubber sealing ring
will be charged and expands and cling spherical valve element tightly to reach sealing effect. Once
when valve gets signal of start, rubber sealing ring will release pressure to make valve element
turn and start under state of no touch. Meanwhile, dome valve is also with function of supervising
sealing pressure and alarming; that is, when sealing air pressure can not be formed or sealing air
pressure is low, it shows that charge sealing ring of dome valve leaks, the system will alarm to
remind maintenance personnel to change sealing ring. Due to individual and special design, dome
valve has following characteristics:
1. Simple structure and reliable work.
2. Agile open and close, it can cut off dynamic and static material column.
3. Firm pressure sealing may formed when it is closed.
4. Be able to bear 0.8MPa.

5. Be able to bear -20130.


6. Long life and little maintaining work.
7. When pneumatic ash handling is running normally, sealing ring life is more than 1 year.
8. Material in chamber flows with no block.
Dome valve is controlled by power to open or close. When unit is running with low load, ash
amount produced within unit time is relatively small; a material filling time is set to make ash not
stay in silo for too much time, the set value is 900s. No matter ash silo is full or not, only 900s is
permitted for dropping material, material inlet valve must close to stop material filling and execute
fluidizing and transportation when time is finished. When unit is running with high load and the silo
is getting in less then 900s; under this condition, control material dropping through material level
indicator installed on silo pump. When high level indicator installed on silo pump is touched off by
flying ash, material dropping dome valve will lose power and closes and then execute the following
procedure. All as above, two values are set logically to control material dropping dome valve, their
relationship is OR; thus, it should not wait for long time due to low load and it should not make silo

242
pump be too full while set time is finished due to high load, which leads satisfactory result of
material dropping. MD pump working state is as fig. 1-4-2 (take four silo pump in one group of field
one as an example):
3.4.2 Dome valve is a ball valve taking hemispheroid as valve element, usually adopts
driving and is mainly used for cutting off or transferring on air-solid phase pneumatic conveying
pipeline. During action of closing or opening of dome valve, there is 3mm clearance between
hemisphere valve element and shell; thus, there will be no block even under condition of high
temperature hot expansion. When valve closes, hollow charge rubber belt installed in valve shell
groove will cling hemisphere under force of charging pressure, which produces nice sealing effect.
When dome valve is open or during dome valve action, charging rubber belt is not be charged
with compressed air, it draw back to its groove by elasticity of itself, it will not be eroded by
air-solid phase pneumatic conveying and its flow will not be influenced.

Dome valve design pressure is 0.8MPa, air cylinder working pressure is 0.40.6MPa,
rubber belt charging pressure is about 0.6MPa and its temperature resistance is 130.
Commissioning of dome valve: under air pressure of 0.4MPa, action of open and close of dome
valve should be agile and reliable; when valve is at close position, hollow rubber belt is charged
with 0.6MPa compressed air, rubber belt should be free from leakage; have the air tightness test
with 0.8MPa to valve, valve element should be free from leakage. Before action of opening of
valve, control mechanism of valve should release charging pressure inside rubber belt
automatically; rubber belt should draw back automatically and be no higher than inner surface of
valve body. Check and Commissioning of journey switch should be done synchronously.
See as in Fig.a: when silo pump is at state of filling material, both ash silo and silo pump level
indicator have not been covered; material inlet valve and vent valve open when power is sent, silo
pump is at material inlet state, this time outlet dome valve closes.
When one or more high level indicators in silo pump are covered or material inlet timing is
finished, material inlet valve and vent valve closes. At the same time, inlet valve transporting
compressed air and outlet dome valve open and start to transport ash. After ash transportation,
transportation compressed air inlet valve closes.
3.5 Ash silo and ash discharging equipment
3.5.1 Ash silo brief introduction
3.5.1.1 Ash silo type and structure
Ash silo lies at end of ash handling system; it is a common facility of pneumatic ash handling
system and with functions of collecting and storing discharged material. Transfer ash silo is close
to ESP. It main function is to collect dry ash and store it for a short time for the convenience of
transporting outside of power plant by other equipments, systems or facilities.
Transfer mode of dry type ash handling usually contains:

1Dry type direct transfer: Transfer dry ash outside of plant or to ash transporter by using
pneumatic ash handling mode or mechanical transportation mode.

2Transfer after regulating dry ash to be wet: Mix dry ash with water to be wet ash (water
content is 15%-30%) by mixer, then transfer wet ash to ash yard by ash transportation car or other
mechanical transportation mode.
Ash silo is generally divided into four build layers from up to down: silo top layer, silo chamber
layer, mechanical layer and silo bottom layer. Silo top layer mainly consists of dry ash separation
device, such as cyclone separator, impulse bag type dust catcher, and exhausted air bag type dust
catcher. Beside, vacuum pressure relief valve, level indicator, air distribution box and pipe transfer
valve are also equipped.
Silo chamber is ash storage silo; one ash silo is set in power plant and is steel cone bottom
type. Its diameter is 9m, its cubage is 500 m3, silo bottom is taper shape. In order to discharge
dry ash out from ash silo smoothly, many gasification flumes are arranged in radiation.

243
Electric air lock, bulk machine or wet mixer, maintenance platform and local control device are
installed at mechanical layer. Silo bottom layer is zero meter layers and also channel for
transporting ash outside.
3.5.1.2 Silo bottom equipments
Wet ash discharging system includes hydraulic mixer, dry ash valve and electric feeder.
Dry ash valve adopts anti=abrasion dome valve.
Electric feeder sealing is strict and free from flying ash, block pipe should be set to avoid
fleeing upwards that may result in ash knotting on dry ash plate, multi-blades rotary impeller is
adopted, lock air cavity is multi-piece double-layer air locking structure, sealing between impeller
and shell is strict.
Filling water mixer is also called wet mixer, which is installed on working platform at bottom
of ash silo and used to regulate and mix dry ash into wet ash by filling proper water for the
convenience of transportation by great tonnage automatic unloading car.
Double-shaft mixer adopts horizontal arrangement, two vis-a-vis revolving shafts driven by
motor are set in long groove with section of flat U, impellers with a certain obliquity or spiral angle
are installed on the shafts; after entering into mixer and under forcible mixing and boosting by
revolving impellers, powder coal ash mix with water mist sprayed out from upper atomization
nozzles, mixing while boosting, which completes the continuous process of blending, mixing and
discharging. Impeller feeder is generally equipped at material inlet of double-shaft mixer for
evening inlet material one hand and for regulating output or humidity one the other hand. Water
supplying regulation valves are also equipped for double-shaft mixer to regulate humidity.
3.5.2 Dry ash unloading system
Dry ash unloading system consists of dry ash bulk machine, motor-driven feeder, pneumatic
dry ash valve, pneumatic vent valve, duct suction air fan and material level indicator.
Expansion tube of dry ash bulk machine adopts double bushing structure, its inner pipe
adopts high quality, anti-abrasion manganese steel plate, which makes it high abrasion resistance
and a long life; outer pipe adopts silica gel fine sailcloth. Dry ash bulk machine level indicator
adopts solid tuning fork switch, which can control the level rightly and sensitively and be free from
misoperation to ensure stop feeding material automatically when tank car is full. Dry ash valve is
equipped for dry ash discharging system, it can be closed can opened freely with strict sealing; its shell
is made from anti-abrasion material, valve plate adopts stainless steel plate. Sealing stuffing material
adopts anti-aging, anti-abrasion, fine lubrication and good flexibility graphite. Solenoid valve equipped
for pneumatic valve should be waterproof and dustproof.
Electric feeder equipped for dry ash discharging system turns freely and adopts multi-blade
revolving impellers; air lock cavity is multi-piece double-layer air lock structure. The sealing
between impeller and shell is strict and material is filled evenly; shell is equipped with check hand
hole.
Local control box is equipped for dry ash discharging device, which is equipped with
semiautomatic control and automatic control discharging function, and interlocked with pneumatic
dry ash valve and electric feeder at inlet.
Specific operation process of dry ash discharging device is:
1. Carrying car is perched; contraposition of bulk head and material inlet adopts
semiautomatic control mechanism, control and low down bulk head, start automatic control
function after contraposition.
2. Sequence of automatic control during discharging material is:
a. Open pneumatic vent valve on vent-pipe;
b. Start dust suction air fan;
c. Open pneumatic dry ash valve at inlet of bulk machine;
d. Start electric feeder to fill material to carrying car.

244
When material tank is full, level indicator on bulk head sends signal, then pneumatic dry ash
valve and feeder (about 46s) stops automatically; Suction air fan stops, bulk head raises
automatically, which a complete discharging process is done.
Pneumatic dry ash valve, pneumatic vent valve and dust suction air fan are locked from each
other when at the two actions of starting feeding and fully fill, that is when the former action is in
execution, the latter equipment can not be started or closed. Interlock must be released if do not
execute in above sequence. Necessary alarm signals are equipped for control box of dry type
discharging device to display and detect running or failure status of the equipment, signal
interfaces for remote ash handling control room should also be preserved.
Dry ash discharging head is generally installed on working platform at bottom of ash silo
together with wet mixer, which is also can be installed at silo side to supply material to bulk tank
car for the convenience of transportation to cement factory for comprehensive utilization.
Dry ash discharging head is a telescopic sleeve type flexible discharging pipe with ring type
jacket, its middle part is for discharging; its jacket part is for venting; upper section is material inlet
connected with discharging hopper in silo; valves are installed in middle part; lower part is
discharging outlet that aims at inlet of tank car to discharge material to tank car; vent interface is
set at side face of upper part on discharging head and is connected to inlet of dedust air fan
through pipeline together with dry ash discharging head. Exhausted air is introduced into ash silo
from its top by dedust air fan; after filtering in bag type dust catcher on top of silo, exhausted air is
discharged into air. The powder dust left behind is preserved in ash silo together with dry ash
transported by pneumatic transportation equipments such as silo pump. Generally one check
valve is connected in series on vent pipe to avoid ash & air flowing backwards to dedust air fan dry
ash discharging head when pneumatic ash handling system is in operation. Besides, a double-line
windlass is equipped for dry ash discharging head to control height of discharging outlet for
supplying tank cars with different tonnage and inlets; meanwhile, discharging head can be lifted to
avoid damaging when tank cars pass in and out. Also, discharging head can be inserted into tank
car inlet to avoid overflow when tank car is full. Signal of Material Full can be set according to
actual requirement to make the device send signal automatically to close inlet valve when tank is
full, which avoids overflow when tank car is full.
When tank car is positioned under dry ash discharging head, discharging outlet of the head
aims at inlet of tank car brought by windlass, then discharging starts. Start dedust air fan, open the
inlet valve between discharging head and discharging hopper of ash silo, powder coal ash flows
out from ash hopper and then flows into tank car through discharging pipe in the middle of
discharging head; dusty air overflowed from tank car is sucked into ring type jacket between
flexible sleeve and discharging pipe by negative pressure produced by dedust air fan, and then
discharged into ash silo through dedust air fan. After tank car is full, signal of Material Full is sent,
inlet valve closes automatically, windlass lifts discharging head and the fully filled tank car leaves
away. Then, the waiting empty tank car is going to do the next circulation.

3. Pipeline System Maintenance
3.1 Summary
Pipeline adopted by ash handling system is middle pressure and low pressure one; it can be
divided into carbon steel pipe, stainless pipe and rubber flange tube according to different

272
materials.
3.1.1 Application scope for pipelines
3.1.1.1 Carbon steel pipes are usually used on air transportation and water system pipelines.
3.1.1.2 Stainless pipes are mainly used on pipelines of nozzle purging, pneumatic valve control
and sampling system.
3.1.1.3 Rubber flange tube is mainly used at interface of returned and supplying water of spraying
water gun and ends of fluidizing air branch pipe of ash hopper and circulation flume.
3.2 Pipeline maintenance process and requirement
3.2.1 Preparation.
3.2.1.1 Get familiar of installation drawings of pipeline and related requirements.
3.2.1.2 Learn and set down technical measures for organization and construction.
3.2.1.3 Check that all tools and machines are complete and qualified.
3.2.1.4 Check preparation of pipeline and its accessories. Check pipe surfaces quality, whether it
has crack, hollow, folds, double-skin and slag inclusion or not.
3.3 Pipeline process
3.3.1 Pipe incision
Generally mechanical method or air cutting method is adopted for cutting middle, low
pressure carbon steel pipe and stainless pipe. Nozzles after cutting should be grinded to be a V
type sloping gap by special grinding machine. Requirement: Cut should be neat and free from
crack, double skin, burr, concave and protruding, sinter or ferric oxide scale; cut plane incline
difference is 1% of pipe diameter but should not exceed 3mm.
3.3.2 Bending for small diameter pipe
3.3.2.1 Hydraulic pressure pipe bender is generally adopted for steel pipe with diameter less than
DN25 for cold state process, minimum bending diameter is 4 times of pipe diameter.
3.3.2.2 Heat-bending treatment is generally adopted for steel pipe with diameter less than DN50
for process. Specific method is as following:
Block one end of the pipe with stopper and fill in qualified sands from the other end; sand
filling should be done in sections, knock the pipe with hammer after filling a section that is about
300mm400mm. Sand particles should be considered according to pipe diameter; 13mm sand
may be used for pipes with outer diameter of no more than 65mm. Sand is heated up to 300 for
standby. Reinforcing steel bar with length of 10-15mm should be bended to required shape as per
requirement as templet. Draw lines on pipe and heat up the part required to be bended with fire
welding. During heating up, turn flame or pipe regularly to make heating even, heating
temperature of carbon steel should be controlled around 1000, under which pipe shows saffron;
for pipe with diameter less than 32mm or bending degree is not big, the heating temperature can
be slightly lower. Before bending, two ends of pipe to be heated should be cooled down with water.
The part that can not be easily bended due to stiffening by quenching should leave space for
bending, fixed the part that not be bended, and then bending syphon can be started; when syphon
is almost the same with the templet, templet should be put on it for bending to avoid losing shape.
When the temperature of pipe decreases to 700 (dark cherry), bending should be stopped,
reheat it and then bend it; but heating times should not exceed two times. Because syphon may
extend back after cooling, the bending angle should be 2o3o bigger than required one. After the
bended syphon is qualified by checking with templet, cool down pipe and spill sand, spread
machinery oil on heating surface to avoid repeated rust by oxidation.
3.3.2.3 Technical requirements for bending pipe

273
The appearance of bended pipe should be free from crack, delamination and over burning, the
reduced thickness of middle pressure and low pressure pipe wall should not exceed 15%, ellipse
degree should not exceed 8% and bending degree complies with requirement.
3.3.3 Screw machining of pipeline, if the quantity of required screw for machining is great, it should
be done at site, methods is as following:
Fix the pipe to be machined on pipe vice and the end that needs screw machining should
extent 150mm out, low down the reamer device, level and fix the scale pan and put the pipe at
corresponding scale, tighten the fixing handle of scale pan, and then push sleeve into pipe to
make their teeth in level, tighten it but not too much, working personnel stand in front of pipe end
with one hand holding reamer and pushing forward and the other hand turning handle, when teeth
enter into pipe for two rings, add machinery oil on it, cool and lubricate teeth, continue to turn
handle evenly to make teeth move forwards slowly. Screw is generally machined to be taper to
make connection tight.
To save labor and avoid excessive abrasion, pipe with diameter less than 40mm should be
machined by twice machining and pipes with diameter of 50mm and more should be machined for
several times.
3.3.3.1 Technical requirements for screw machining of pipeline: screw of pipes should be clear,
complete, smooth and free from burr or floss; total length of screw breaking and lacking should not

4. Valve Maintenance
Valve is a control device of pipeline, its basic function is to connect or cut medium in pipeline,
to change medium flow, to regulate medium pressure and flow to protect pipeline for normal
operation.
4.1 Spring safety valve maintenance
Spring safety valve is an automatic valve, it can discharge a certain amount of liquid not by any
outside force to avoid pressure in system exceeding preset safety value. When pressure recovers
to be normal, it can close automatically to stop medium flowing out continuously.
4.1.1 Basic requirements of safety valve
Safety valve must be with two requirements of economy and safety. During its action, it must be
with: sensitive start, sufficient discharge, timely resetting and reliable sealing.
4.1.2 Action principle of safety valve
In spring safety valve, spring pretension force of spring effecting downwards on valve clack,
part of which is for resisting medium force and the other part is for compaction stress between
sealing pieces; with the increase of medium pressure, tensioning force between sealing fittings
reduces correspondingly. When medium pressure increases to rated startup pressure, the mutual
tensioning force is zero, safety valve opens for discharging; it reset automatically after pressure
recovers.

4.1.4.4. Check, clean and grind all sealing surfaces and tightening pieces.
4.1.4.5 Safety valve setting and adjusting
4.2 Gate valve maintenance
Gate valve is a closing piece (gate plate) that moves along vertical line of access centerline.
It is mainly for cutting in pipeline; gate valve with diameter less than DN15mm is not allowed for
throttle.
4.2.1 Advantages and disadvantages of gate valve
Gate has a sound sealing performance and low flowing resistance, it is easy to open and
close and medium flow direction is not limited. Erosion to sealing surface by working medium is
smaller than stop valve. Its structure is simple and casting performance is good. Its needs big
space and ling time to open; sealing surface is easily eroded and scraped during opening and
closing. Gate valve has two sealing surfaces generally, which brings difficulty for processing,
grinding and maintaining.
4.2.2 Gate valve sort
4.2.2.1 Gate vales can be divided into parallel gate valve and wedge gate valve according to
structures.
a. Parallel gate valve: its sealing surface is parallel with vertical centerline, which is two
sealing surfaces of the gate valve are parallel. In parallel gate valve, the structure with thrust
wedge is most popular, that is there is a double-surface thrust wedge between the two gates. This
kind of valve is applicable for being low pressure, middle and small diameter (DN40-300mm) gate
valve. Also there are gates valves with spring between its two gate plates, spring can produce
pretension stress, which benefits sealing of gate valve.
b. Wedge gate valve: its sealing surface and it vertical centerline forms a certain angle, which
is two sealing surface form a wedge. The inclined angle is generally 252, 330, 5, 8, 10. The
angle generally depends on medium temperature. The higher the working temperature is, the
bigger than angle is. Wedge gate valves can be divided into single gate valve, double gate valve
and flexible gate valve.
c. Single gate plate is wedge type valve with simple structure and is reliable. It has a high
requirement of precision for sealing surface angle, and it is a little difficult to process and repair, it
is possible to wedge during temperature changing. Double gate plates are commonly used in
pipelines with medium of water and steam. Its advantages are: low requirement of precision of
sealing surface angle, gasket can be used for compensation when sealing surface is abraded. But
this structure has too may parts, in which glutinous medium can be easily felted. Whats more, rust
may easily occur to upper and lower damper and gate plate drops easily. Flexible single gate plate
has been improved on its process and now is widely adopted.
4.2.2.2 It can be divided into according to structure of valve stem.
a. Inside screw non-rising stem type gate valve: valve stem nut is on valve cover, screw valve
stem nuts to lift and lower as illustrated in figure 3.
b. Outside screw rising stem type gate valve: Valve stem nuts are in valve body and contact
with medium directly. Gate plate is opened and closed through revolving stem as illustrated in
figure 4. The advantage of the structure is: the height of gate valve is always the same, thus its
installation space is small. It is suitable for being used as big diameter gate valve or that with
limited installation space. Closing and opening indicator is installed for this structure to indicate
openness. The disadvantage of this structure is: valve stem can not be lubricated and contacts
with medium directly, thus it can be eroded easily.

277
4.2.4 Maintenance items
4.2.2.1 Clean parts of valve body, valve cover, valve element, valve seat and valve stem.
4.2.2.2 Check abrasion, corrosion and damage conditions of parts; fix or replace damaged parts.
4.2.2.3 Check erosion, abrasion, corrosion and damage of sealing surface of valve element and
valve seat; grind the sealing surface.
4.2.2.4 Replace stuffing material and filling up material of all sealing surfaces.
4.2.2.5 Valve tightness test.
4.3 Stop valve maintenance
Stop valve is a kind of valve that closing piece (valve clack) moves along centerline of valve
seat, it is mainly used for cutting in pipeline.
4.3.1 Stop valve advantages and disadvantages
Compared with gate valve, the opening height of stop valve is small and its opening time is
short, friction of its sealing surface is smaller than gate valve during opening and closing, and it is
convenient for maintaining. Its disadvantage is that its sealing performance is not good, its fluidity
resistance is big, its torque moment for opening and closing is big and its structure is long.
4.3.2 Stop valve sort
4.3.2.1 According to screw thread position on valve stem, stop valves can be divided into outside
screw stem valve and inside screw stem valve.
a. Outside screw stem valve: screw thread of valve stem is outside valve body. Its advantage
is that valve stem will not be eroded by medium and is convenient for lubrication. This structure is
widely adopted.
b. Inside screw stem valve: screw threads of valve stem are inside valve body. The screw
thread of valve stem of the structure contacts with medium directly, it is easily eroded and can not
be lubricated. This structure is applicable for small diameter valves and places where temperature
is not too high.
4.3.2.2 Sealing surfaces of valve clack can be divided into plane and conical surface.

valve seat; grind the sealing surface.
4.3.4.4 Replace stuffing material and filling up material of all sealing surfaces.
4.3.4.5 Valve tightness test.
4.4 Check valve
Check valve means a kind of valve that close and open valve clack by medium flow to avoid
refulgence of medium.
4.4.1 Check valve sorts
Check valves can be divided into swing check valve, lift check valve, wafer type butterfly
check valve and wafer type round check valve.
4.4.1.1 For lift check valve, valve clack slides along vertical centerline of of valve body, it can only
be install on horizontal pipeline, valve clack on high pressure and small diameter check valve may
adopt round ball. Valve body of lift check valve is same with that of stop valve, thus resistance
coefficient of its fluidity is high.
4.4.1.2 For swing check valve, valve clack revolves around pin shaft outside valve seat; it can be
installed on horizontal and vertical pipelines. It is widely used due to its simple structure.
4.4.1.3 For wafer type butterfly check valve, valve clack revolve around valve seat, its structure is
simple. It can only be installed on horizontal pipelines, but its sealing is not so good.

4.5.1 Ball valve characteristics
4.5.1.1 Flow resistance is small; its resistance coefficient is equal to pipe section with same length.
4.5.1.2 Its structure is simple, cubage is small and weight is light.
4.5.1.3 It is tight and reliable; it is also widely used in vacuum system.
4.5.1.4 It can be opened or closed rapidly; it is only need to revolve 90 (convenient for remote
control) from full opening to full closing

generally; it is convenient for demounting and replacing.
4.5.1.6 When it is fully opened or closed; ball and valve seat are isolated from medium. When
medium flows through, it will not erode valve sealing surface.
4.5.2 Ball valves can be divided into floating ball valve and fixed ball valve according to fixing type.
4.5.2.1 Floating ball valve
Ball of ball valve is floating. Under pressure of medium, ball can produces a certain
displacement and presses on sealing surface of outlet end tightly to ensure sealing at outlet end.
Floating ball valves structure is simple and its sealing is good. It is widely used for being middle
pressure and low pressure ball valve.
4.5.2.2 Fixed ball valve
Ball of fixed ball valve is fixed and does not displace under press. All fixed ball valves are with
floating valve seat, valve seat displaces after medium pressure to make sealing press on ball
tightly for ensuring sealing. Bearings are installed on upper and lower shaft of ball, its operation
torque is small and it is suitable to be used for being high pressure and big diameter valves.

4.7 Maintenance of self-acting pressure regulation valve
It is not necessary to add energy source from outside, it introduces the medium to be regulated
by its own power energy to the position of valve element to change the differential pressure and
flow at two ends to make pressure before (after) valve be stable. It has advantages of sensitive
action, nice sealing and small fluctuation of pressure setting values. It is widely used in pressure
decreasing & stabilizing and pressure releasing & stabling automatic control devices with medium
of gas, liquid and steam.
4.7.1 Working principle of self-acting pressure regulation valve
When reducing valve is at free state, valve clack is at close state. Screw down regulation bolts,
valve clack opens (for reducing valve, impulse valve opens firstly and then open valve clack of
main valve through piston), medium flows through valve seat and then out form valve. When
pressure after valve exceeds regulated value, medium pressure acts rightabout on sensors such
as spring, film, piston mechanism, lever mechanism and ripple pipe, which counteracts a part
force of medium to valve clack before valve, valve openness decreases and pressure after valve
decreases accordingly. Pressure acting on sensors also decreases, which makes openness of
valve clack increases again. Thus pressure after valve always fluctuates within a certain range.

4.8 Maintenance of dome valve
Dome valve is an important component in dry ash handling system; its valve element is a ball
dome. During opening and closing, a 2mm clearance is kept between valve element and rubber
sealing ring to make valve element and rubber sealing ring move with no touching, its purpose is
to make in-between of valve element and rubber sealing ring be free from friction and to reduce
abrasion. When dome valve is at closing state, rubber ring is fully filled with air and pressing on
valve element of ball dome tightly, which forms a reliable sealing ring belt and has stopped
material flowing in pipeline.
4.8.1 Structural characteristic of dome valve:
4.8.1.1 Be able to start and close with no friction, which makes mechanical action of valve is
convenient and prolongs its life.
4.8.1.2 Materials can flow smoothly, after opening; valve element can turn to valve chamber side,
which has avoided abrasion to sealing surface of valve element.
4.8.1.3 Judge sealing ring completeness through supervising sealing pressure of sealing ring.

5. General Overhaul Process and Quality Standard for Valves
5.1 Safety valve calibration and repair
5.1.1 Significance and method calibrating pressure regulation of safety valve returning to seat
National definition of resetting pressure means safety valve reaches to discharging state,
medium pressure drops to a certain value, valve clack and valve seat contacts again, that is
starting height is zero.
5.1.1.1 Regulation method
Resetting pressure is regulated by regulation ring; the regulation principle is clearance principle.
When spraying resistance is bigger, the dropping force holding valve element is bigger and the
harder for resetting; contrarily, the bigger clearance is, the easier valve element returns and the
higher resetting pressure is. For the safety valve with only downward regulation ring, regulation

285
ring is regulated upwards, resetting pressure drops; regulation ring is regulated downwards,
resetting pressure rises. For the safety valve with upward and downward regulation ring, the
distance of upper and lower regulation rings decreases, resetting pressure decreases; the
distance of upper and lower regulation rings increases, resetting pressure rises.
5.1.1.2 Verifying methods and its advantage & disadvantage
Safety valve verifying methods can be divided into site verifying (online verifying) and platform
verifying.
a. Site verifying advantages: it is convenient to verify jointing type safety valve, it can measure
resetting pressure; its disadvantage is: verifying time is long, system should be increased by
pressure repeatedly, it is not economical and dangerous, it can not do sealing test.
b. Air, nitrogen and water are taken as medium for normal temperature verifying of safety
valve. Its advantage is: it can solve safety valve setting and leakage checking under working
temperature of 250C, it can confirm minimum error range of starting pressure of safety valve, it
has saved safety valve installing time and regulation, it has decreased work labor, reduced energy
consumption and danger, its disadvantage is: error exists under running temperature and normal
temperature (spring softens under high temperature), it can not verify resetting pressure.
5.1.1.3 Verifying principle of safety valve
When medium with pressure enters into inlet of safety valve, medium pressure rises and
safety valve is at open state, measure the pressure; record starting pressure and regulate it until
regulated starting value, that is verifying of starting pressure is completed. When pressure drops to
regulated value (90% of starting value), watch pressure meter or other method to check whether
there is medium leakage; that is sealing test.
5.1.1.4 HP verifying characteristic and notices

Safety valve opening sound is very big, especially the big diameter valves, maintenance
personnel should wear earplug.

Vibration is very high when opening HP safety valve.

Impulse force is very big during opening, materials of flange connections should be high
quality.

Spring regulation should not be great and only can be slight.

Air flow and water flow must be filtered.


5.1.2 Repair of safety valve
Repair of safety valve is mainly to repair sealing surface of safety valve, material of which
should be in high quality, its basic requirements are as following: be with high intension and be
able to bear high sealing specific pressure; be with a certain toughness and be able to endure
resetting impact of valve element; be with high rigidity and be able to bear erosion of medium; it
should not rust, otherwise it will leak very soon; be able to bear high temperature and be
applicable to steam etc; be corrosion resistant and be able to bear erosion of acid and alkali. Main
types of hard sealing of safety valve are: plane sealing, taper sealing and ball sealing; the mostly
used is plane sealing.
5.1.2.1 Repair of sealing surface of safety valve
Sealing surfaces of safety valve can be divided into metal type and nonmetal type. Nonmetal
sealing is generally used for normal temperature medium and metal sealing is generally used fro
medium with high temperature and high pressure. When nonmetal sealing surface is damaged,
sealing ring is generally to be dismantled for replacement, it can only be processed by turning if it
can not be dismantled or it has no spare parts. Grinding is adopted when metal sealing surface
damage is not severe. Grinding can be divided into coarse grinding and fine grinding. Valve seat
and valve element must be separated by grinding tool for grinding.

5.1.2.2 Grinding tool, material

Grinding tool: Grinding flat: a. cast iron (for coarse grinding); b. hard alloy (for fine
grinding) grinding (for grinding valve seat)

Grinding material: oxide chrome, white corundum, 280#, 360#, 600#, W4, W2.5, W1.5
Grinding abrasive: oleic acid, machinery oil, rope oil, lard
5.1.2.3 Sealing surface grinding
Grinding is a method to cut the working surface slightly by using grinding tool and grinding
agent to obtain a higher smoothness and fineness of the surface. The process is called grinding.
Principle of grinding: during grinding, part abrasive is embedded into grinding tool after
bearing a certain press from work piece and grinding tool. When grinding tool and work piece
move oppositely, grinding material slide and rolls between them and produces cutting, which
grinds a layer of protruding of workpiece surface? At the same time, abrasive forms a layer of
oxidation film quickly under effect of chemistry.
5.2 Clean valve mechanical parts
Mechanical cleaning is an important step of repair after dismantling valve. Cleaning method
and quality has great influence on parts rightness, requirement quality, repair cost and its life. Parts
to be cleaned includes cleaning oil dirty, water scale, accumulated carbon, rust and old painting
layer.
5.2.1 Degrease
Clean oil dirty on parts with detergent such as machinery solvent, alkali solution and
chemical detergent. Methods are scribing, baptism and spraying. Cleaning types are artificial
cleaning and mechanical cleaning.
5.2.1.1 Scrubbing
Scrubbing is usually used during mechanical equipment repair that is put part into vessels
filled with kerosene, light diesel oil or chemical detergent and then scrub with cotton yarn or brush
with hair brush to remove oil on parts surface. This method is easily operated and its equipment is
simple, but its efficiency is not high. It is used for degreasing of middle & small size parts and
working surface of large parts. Generally, gasoline is not good to be used as detergent, which may
hurt personal health and cause fire easily.
5.2.1.2 Spraying cleaning
Spraying is to spray detergent with a certain pressure and temperature to parts surface to
clean oil dirty. This method has a good effect and high productivity, but equipments are complex, it
is suitable for cleaning parts with simple shape and heavy oil dirty o surface.
5.2.1.3 Selection of detergent
Different detergents should be used to clean parts made from different materials and oil dirty
produced by different lubricants. Alkali solution is suitable for cleaning animal and plant oil, but
alkali solution has different degrees corrosion to different metals, especially for aluminous. Thus,
different prescriptions should be adopted for cleaning different metal parts.
5.2.2 Removing rust
To ensure repair quality, corrosion on surfaces of parts must be cleaned completely, such as
rust on surface of steel accessory. According to specific conditions, mechanical and chemical
methods are mainly used at present.
5.2.2.1 Mechanical method for removing rust
Clean the rust on surface of parts with effects of mechanical friction and cutting. Common
methods are brushing, grinding, polishing and spraying sand. Artificial polish can be adopted for
single or small amount; mechanical method for cleaning rust can be adopted for large part, such
as electric grinding, polishing and rolling. Spraying sand method is to spray sand with certain
287
particle onto parts surface by using compressed air; these methods not only can remove rust
quickly but also prepares for processes such as painting, galvanization etc. The surfaces dealt
with spraying sand can meet the requirements of being clean and with certain coarseness, which
improves combination force between covering layer and parts.
5.2.2.2 Chemical method for removing rust
Dissolve oxide on metal surface by using acid solution to remove rust. The chemical
solutions used presently are mainly sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid or their mixed
solution with a little corrosion inhibitor. Its process is: degreasing, water flushing, removing rust, water
flushing, neutralization, water flushing and removing hydrogen. To ensure effect of rust removing,
solution is generally heated to a certain degree, control the time strictly; proper description should be
adopted according to different materials of parted to be cleaned.
5.3 Valve grinding
5.3.1 Clean and check
Put sealing surface into oil plate and use special detergent, checking its damage condition
while cleaning it. Imperceptible cracks that are difficult to confirm with naked eye can be done with
dye-penetrate destructive method. Check the sealing surface between valve clack or gate valve and
sealing surface of valve seat; red and pencil should be used during checking. Test red with red lead and
check sealing surface to confirm its condition, or draw several concentric rounds on sealing surfaces of
valve clack and valve seat, revolve valve clack and valve seat, check rounds and confirm its condition.
If the tight combination is not good, inspect valve clack and gate plate sealing surface with standard
plane plate to confirm parts to be grinded.
5.3.2 Grinding
Grinding is a cutting process without lathe. Generally depths of blow spots or holes on valve
head or valve seat are generally within 0.5mm; grinding can be adopted for maintenance. Grinding
process can be divided into coarse grinding, middle grinding and fine grinding.
Coarse grinding is to eliminate contusion, impress and corrosion points to make sealing
surface be with a high smoothness and a certain degree of finish to offer a foundation for middle
grinding of sealing surface. Coarse grinding uses grinding head or grinding seat tools and adopts
coarse sand paper or coarse grinding paste with granularity of 80#-280#. Thus, coarse grinding is
only to remove blow spots on valve head or seat smoothly.
Middle grinding is to eliminate coarse lines on sealing surface to improve smoothness and
degree of finish fatherly. Fine sand paper or fine grinding paste with granularity of 280#-W5, which
benefits to decrease coarseness. Related grinding tools should be replaced and the tools should
be clean. After middle grinding, contacting surface of valve should be in brightness. If draw lines
on valve head or valve seat with pencil and then turn valve head or valve seat oppositely and
slightly, the pencil lines should be erased.
Fine grind is the last process of grinding to improve fineness. W5 or thinner grinding sand is
diluted with machinery oil and kerosene, grind valve seat with valve head but not grinding tool,
which benefits combination of sealing surface. Generally, it turns about 60-100 clockwise and
then 40-90 anticlockwise, check it after a while until it is grinded to be in brightness and a ring of
fine line can be seen on valve head and seat and its color is black and bright, grind it slightly with
machinery oil for several and then wipe it clean with clean gauze. After grinding, clean other
defects and they assemble it as soon as possible to avoid damaging a grinded valve head.
No matter it is coarse grinding or fine grinding of manual grinding, it is always the grinding
process combined with lifting up, lying down; revolving to and fro; knocking and transferring
direction. Its purpose is to avoid repeated trace of grinding granularity to make grinding and
sealing surface get even cutting and to improve smoothness and fineness of sealing surface.
5.3.3 Inspections during grinding
Inspections should be done frequently to acknowledge grinding conditions and to make
grinding quality meet requirements. It should be noted that grinding of different valves should
adapt grinding tools of different sealing types to improve grinding efficiency and quality.

288
Valve grinding is a meticulous work, it is required to experience, feel around and improve;
sometimes, it is grinded very well, but it still leaks steam and water after installation, this is
because that inclined grinding occurs during grinding.
5.4 Dismantling and installing of valve stuffing material
Valves generally adopt stuffing sealing type; after a period of service, its flexibility and
lubrication effect will lose. Liquid may leak in and air may enter into valve if it is not replaced timely.
Thus, stuffing material of sealing device should be replaced during maintenance. It also should be
replaced if it leaks badly due to bad quality or installation.
5.4.1.2 Parts should be replaced if abrasion of pressing cover, closing sleeve or rings of stuffing
material is excessively abraded.
5.4.1 Demounting of stuffing sealing device
5.4.1.1 Loosen pressing cover nuts of stuffing housing slowly, release residual pressure in gland
packing.
5.4.1.2 Take out all oil gland packing with tool or iron hook, clean shaft/stem in stuffing housing
completely.
5.4.1.3 Check whether shaft/stem has corrosion, indention, scar or abrasion or not.
5.4.1.4 Check whether other parts have burr, crack and abrasion or not. They may shorten gland
packing life.
5.4.1.5 Check whether clearance of stuffing housing is too big or not; check shaft/stem
eccentricity.
5.4.1.6 Replace parts with great defects.
5.4.2 Stuffing material assembling
Assembling quality is closely related to sealing effect of sealing, following points should be
noted during stuffing assembling:
5.4.2.1 Cut should be regular when cutting stuffing material, there is no loosened asbestos head;
interface should be formed into angle of 30~45.
5.4.2.2 Lubricant should be spreaded on each stuffing ring, which ia separately pressed into
stuffing housing. During installation by pressing, cuts of stuffing ring must stagger; generally
interfaces of neighboring stuffing rings should stagger 120.
5.4.2.3 Water sealing ring should aim at liquid sealing pipe, it may be moved outwards 3~5mm by
considering that stuffing material should be pressed continuously after installing stuffing pressing
cover.
5.4.2.4 After filling stuffing material, bolts at two sides of pressing cover should be evenly screwed
down but not too much to avoid losing flexibility of stuffing material, which may add abrasion of
shaft sleeve (or shaft, valve stem)and power consumption.
5.4.2.5 The depth of stuffing material pressed into stuffing housing is height of one ring stuffing
material generally but not less than 5mm. A certain distance should be kept between cover plate of
stuffing material and stuffing housing for the convenience of continuous pressing stuffing material
tightly.
5.4.3 Notices of stuffing material installation and repairment
Stuffing pressing cover should be dismantled firstly during during stuffing filling and
repairment, then take out old stuffing material, clean all parts, then fill in new stuffing materials and
check clearance between all parts. When clearance between closing ring and shaft sleeve (shaft
or valve stem) is too big, stuffing material in housing may be pressed out. When the clearance
between outer round surface of pressing cover of stuffing housing and inner round surface is too
big, pressing cover may be pressed to be inclined. Inner round surface of stuffing pressing cover
and outer round surface of shaft sleeve (or shaft, valve stem) must keep in concentric, if the
clearance is too small, friction with shaft (or shaft, valve stem) may occur easily. All the above

289
clearance should comply required standards strictly, it must be repaired or replaced if it doent.
5.5 Sealing gasket installation
Gasket type to be adopted is confirmed according to nominal pressure, medium
characteristic and maximum temperature. Sealing gaskets can be divided into: nonmetal gasket
(flexible graphite type, PTFEF4 type, rubber type and non-asbestos fibre type), metal gasket
(Stainless steel serrated gasket, soft metal gasket and lens gasket) and composite gasket (stainless
steel gasket wound with graphite, stainless steel spurt graphite plate).
5.5.1 Check before installation
5.5.1.1 Check gasket
a . Gasket type, material and dimension should comply with requirements.
b. Gasket surface should be free from mechanical damage, radial scar, rust or inner & outer
edge dilapidation.
c. Gasket selected should be suitable for sealing surface type of flange.
5.5.1.2 Check bolts and nuts
a. Bolts and nuts type, material and dimension should comply with requirements.
b. Nuts can be turned freely on bolts bu with no swinging.
c. Bolts and nuts should be free from scar or burr.
d. Breaking is not allowed for screw threads.
e. Screw threads should be free from bending.
5.5.1.3 Check flange
Check that flange type should comply with requirement, sealing surface should be smooth
and free from mechanical damage, radial trace, rust, welding scer or burned oil vestiges, specific
methods should be researched if it can not be repaired.
5.5.1.4 Check pipeline and flange installation quality before flange gasket, following defects should
not exsist:
a. Piplines are neither vertical nor concentric and flanges are not parallel. Permit inclined
value between flanges is as following: it should be less than 2mm when suing nonmetal gasket
and it should be less than 1mm when using semi-metallic gasket, ellipse gasket and equipment
connection flanges.
b. Pipeline and flange are vertical but not concentric. Under condition that diameters of bolts
holes and bolts comply with standard, it is deemed as to be qualified when bolts can go into bolts
freely without tools.
c. Flanges clearance is too big. Permit value between flanges is as following: pipe flange
dehiscence should be less than 3mm and dehiscence of flanges connecting to equipments should
be less than 2mm.
d. Pipeline and flange are concentric, chord-distance of related bolts holes of two flanges should
not be bigger than 1mm.
5.5.2 Instalaltion
5.5.2.1 Gasket should be preserved well.
5.5.2.2 Two flanges must be on same centerline and in parallel.
5.5.2.3 Clean flange sealing surface and sealing line caerefully before installation.
5.5.2.4 Only one gasket can be added between two flanges, more than one gasket used to be
added between two flanges to clean defect is not allowed.
5.5.2.5 Gasket must be installed rightly and with no deflection to ensure press even and to avoid
gasket extending into pipe and causing vortex.

290
5.5.2.6 Bolts should be evenly and symmetrically tightened.
