Combustion chamber Steam boiler Furnace Gas volume Inlet gas temperature Outlet gas temperature Design pressure of steam boiler Feed water temperature Feed water pressure Feed water flow Fuel conveyor Fuel feeding system The flue gases have a temperature about 400 C There are many reasons for cleaning (to clean) the flue gases Different types of fuel: bark, saw trim, rejects fiber Very high fuel moisture A dark smoke from the furnace The system has also a very important emergency cooling system The energy plant fed thermal oil at 280 C to the steam boiler and the pressure operation is about 11 bar which corresponds to a temperature of about 185 C The following control loops are the most important for the energy plant Flue gas pressure control to the dryer Thermal oil temperature control Furnace control pressure Rotatory valve speed control Control loop functions and set points Current control, if the load is 70 % discharge will stop Speed controlled Manual settings Low alarm Low-low alarm The system has two temperature sensors Above, below, before, after It is recommendable to keep the temperature below 60 C Control of primary air temperature There are three pumps for the recirculation of the oil

For operation and maintenance of the pumps, read the manufacturers manual These pumps are used to fill the system To fill the system you must use these pumps The main components of the emergency cooling system are: Pump with diesel engine and fitting Emergency cooling tank with level control The system starts automatically in the following emergency cases Fluid flow failure High oil temperature Power failure The engine uses a normal 12 V battery The combustion chamber temperature is controlled by regulating of the fans inlet damper Measurement range 0-1600 C Operating temperature 950 C Alarm set point 1100 C Interlock set point 1200 C Pressure control in the combustion chamber The objective is to maintain a negative pressure in the combustion chamber by controlling the frequency drive of the primary air fan Measuring range -500 to 200 PA Operating pressure -200 PA High pressure Alarm set point -50 PA Interlock set point -10 PA Thermal oil temperature after the third heater Thermal oil pressure before first heater Thermal flow after the second heater The tank has three level switches Fiberboard Pressure control of feed water Level control of steam generator High alarm temperature set point Electrical power consumption Cooling unit of primary oil pump Indication of the temperature in cooling unit Indication of the level in cooling tank

Check if the hydraulic piping is in accordance with the piping flow sheet Check that the motor and pump direction is correct Load test Read the maintenance manual for the fuel conveyor Finally simulate a test run Check if that every high point on the thermal oil piping has a vent Verify proper rotation of all pumps Initial start up of the steam boiler should be made by trained operators Fill up the feed water tank and check the level control Read the suppliers manual Check if that the security valve and all other instruments on the steam boiler are correctly installed The supervisor will give the instructions correctly Check that all parts of the conveyor are free from foreign objects and materials Check that all access and inspection doors are closed Adjust the setting for the controllers Review all control valves and check that they are operating without failure Follow the instructions in the manufacturers manual Warning, the manual dampers must never be fully closed Warning, never use gasoline to stop the fire When the combustion chamber has reached 800 C The heater can be heated Check that two fans are running, one fan is in position stand-by Check if the fire has been extinguished The differential pressure depends on the flow Put the level controller in automatic mode Warning, avoid contact with acid, wear gloves Before steam is fed the water should be heated Operation checklist When the flue gases temperature after the heaters Warning, operating with combustion temperatures above 1000 C can result in severe problems Every day Weekly

Monthly Annually Yearly Every 500 hours or every 3 months Shutdown Turn off all auxiliary units Stop all the air fans All wet fuel must be dried before it can start to burn Dry fuel moisture content below 40 % The temperature has a devastating effect on the operation of all the plant Temperature could cause problems in the conveyor Maintain a low temperature around 950 C The hydraulics oil flow to the cylinders can be adjusted at the hydraulic pump Adjust the cylinder speed The ratio between primary and secondary fans Check that the negative pressure in the furnace is controlled around 200 to 250 pa Check that the duct is not blocked After erection, the belt must be correctly aligned. The machine should be checked and cleaned monthly Switch off the unit Warning, never flush with water and try to avoid using compressed air All moving machine components require regular lubrication wit oil or grease Note: never mix mineral and synthetic oils All bearing are lubricated for life Change the grease in the bearings at the regular intervals in the reduction gear motor After 20000 hours of operation change the bearings Weekly check the operation of the frequency drive At general inspection, worm feed shafts, deformation and wear Check screw shaft for signs of wear and deformation Replacement of worm parts The roller bearings are mounted on the shaft with an adapter sleeve
