10. START UP PROCEDURE.

Taking first fan in service:-

1. Start one oil pump. Observe discharge pressure and flow. Ensure its healthiness &
keep second pump in interlock.
2. Start FD fan & monitor the starting current and note starting time.
3. Ensure that the discharge gate start open simultaneously with the start of fan motor.
4. Observe for abnormal sound, Vibration, Bearing temperature and Winding temp.
5. Increase blade pitch & keep watch on fan discharge pressure & secondary wind box
inlet pressure and record the blade opening position.

Taking second fan in service:-

6. Start one oil pump. Observe discharge pressure and flow. Ensure its healthiness &
keep second pump in interlock..
7. Give start command to second FD fan.
8. Open blade pitch of fan and decrease blade pitch of running fan.
9. Make blade pitch of both fan equal by parallel operation.
10. If there is any considerable deviation between loadings of both fans, Give biasing
between pitch controls of fans to keep the fan’s current almost equal.
