 INTRODUCTION

1.PRIMARY AIR:
Which is used for drying and transporting the coal
from the pulverizes through the coal piping into the
furnace and is supplied by the primary air fans
2.SECONDARY AIR:

Sent through the four corners of the wind box and is

supplied by the FD fans.
The total secondary air flow is controlled by forced
draft fan, in proportion to the fuel being fired.

 CONTROL PHILOSOPHY

All damper drives in any one elevation receive the same signal
from the secondary air control system.
The auxiliary air damper control is separate from the fuel air
damper control
Fuel Air: If secondary air is admitted to a fuel compartment in
service.
The fuel air damper control system positions the fuel air damper
in proportion to the fuel firing rate
Auxiliary Air: If Secondary air is admitted to the furnace
through air compartments and fuel compartments not in service, is
termed as auxiliary air.
The auxiliary air dampers are positioned to maintain the
required wind box to furnace differential pressure according to the
boiler load.
 CONTROL PHILOSOPHY

This unit is equipped with oil elevation for warm up

and stabilisation (designed for 10-30% MCR). In this
case the oil elevation dampers are positioned to a fixed %
opening during oil firing.

When oil is not fired, these dampers are controlled to

maintain the wind box to furnace differential pressure in
line with other auxiliary air dampers.
 When the unit load exceeds 30% of MCR, the following events occurs :

When the Unit Load is increased above 30% MCR, the Auxiliary
air dampers on
elevation AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH & HH are closed in a
timed sequence (10seconds interval) provided the associated coal
elevations are not in service and the associated oil elevations are
not in service. The auxiliary air dampers are closed, starting from
the top elevation, progressing towards the lowest elevation.
When the unit load exceeds below 30% of MCR, the following events occurs :

The wind-box to furnace differential pressure set point reverts to its

original value.

The auxiliary air dampers associated with the coal and LO elevations
not in service are opened in a timed sequence (10 second interval)
starting at the lowest elevation, progressing towards the top.

When a LO Elevation is started (i.e. when the associated elevation

back-up trip is removed) the associated auxiliary air dampers in that
elevation are set to preset position for LO firing.

When the Post Trip Purge Time Expired command is established

and all FD / ID fans are not off and a Master fuel trip command
doesnt exist, then a 35 seconds counting period is started. After it
expires, the Open All Auxiliary Air Dampers "command is removed
from memory.
