1 Main Technical Specifications and Structure of Boiler ( Taking
SG-995/17.3-MMX Boiler as Example)
1.1 General
W-flame boiler has a different structure from regular coal-fired boiler. Its combustion
chamber consists of lower combustion chamber and upper burn-out chamber. The depth of
combustion chamber is 80%-120% greater than that of burn-out chamber. The top of the front
project part form the arch, on which the pulverized coal flow and secondary air nozzles are
placed (Some W-flame boiler arches are only equipped with pulverized coal flow and steam
exhaust nozzles). The jeting down pulverized coal extends downward after being fired. In the
lower part of combustion chamber, it meets tertiary air, then turns upward, rising along the axis
of furnace chamber, thus forming the W-shape flame. The burned product rises to the burn-out
chamber.
Generally, the W-flame boiler is divided into wet bottom boiler and dry bottom boiler. The
aboard practice indicates the biggest problem from W-flame wet bottom boiler is the large
amount of NOx emission, further, there are also problems such as high temperature erosion of
water wall tube, long time of maintenance, weak capability of peak load regualtion. So in
general, the wet bottom boiler is not adopted; W-flame dry bottom boiler can steadily burn
anthracite and meager coal, Vdaf=6%~20%, and even the anthracite, Vdaf=4% can also be
burned. So, this kind of boiler is recommended by general aboard companies. The boilers
having been put into services are also such kind of boilers.
To ensure the burning of anthracite or meager coal, the primary air rate of W-flame boiler is
lower, which is 15% to 20%. For the penetrating depth is insufficient due to the own air amount
and flow rate of primary air,large amount secondary air must be send from the arch. The lead jet
of secondary air from the arch is utilized to ensure the better penetration depth of the primary
air.

1.3 Boiler Structure
The boiler proper is designed by Alstom, and its technical support of commisioning and
performance test is also supplied by Alstom, it is made by Shanghai Boiler Works, Ltd. The
style of boiler is double-arch W-flame single-furnace, primary middle reheated, forced water
circular, subcritical drum boiler. Two units are equipped with one startup boiler, which acts as
the startup steam source during the unit startup;
The coal type of the boiler is anthracite, which is from CAM PHA mineral area and HON
GAI mineral area in Vietnam.
Combustion system: it adopting hot air for pulverized coal feeding, each boiler equipped with 16
dual-split double direction pulverized coal feeders and 32 burners. The capacity of pulverized
coal burner is 100% BMCR of designed coal type. The startup and flame stablizing of boiler
uses heavy oil, according to standard of TCVN 6239-2002. The boiler employs two-stage
ignition, i.e., the heavy oil gun is fired by the electric spark of high-energy ignitor, then the heavy
oil gun ignite the pulverized coal. Oil gun adopts steam atomization. For the project, 25000 ton
oil tanks, 2 oil drain pump, 2 100% capacity AC/DC oil feeding pump, 1 dirty oil pump and 1
sewage pump are disposed.The fuel system is disposed the oil feed pipe/oil return pipe to
burner of boiler according to the principle of single oil feed/return main pipe.
Oil burner: there are 8 heavy fuel oil HFO) burner at each folded flame corner, i.e., each boiler
equipped with 16 burners. Auxiliary steam with pressure stablized at 5.25 bar(g) allow HFO
attain at atomization state, the auxiliar steam is also used for burner clean. The heavy oil is
ignited via the high energy ignitor, each HFO burner is equipped with special flame inspector.

Rev. : A

Cooling wind is provided to burner and flame inspector via two independent special loops.
During stop, fuel burner retreated from burner nozzle about 330 mm, to prevent the affection of
boiler radiation( avoiding the burnout of oil burner). All burning capacity (LHV base value) 30%
BMCR fuel heat input value, only adopting 12 burners can attain 30% BMCR burning capacity
(two burners per folded flame corner stop operation). The regulation ration of burner is 1:5. J11
oil burner is employed.
Smoke exhaust and ash system of boiler: the smoke exhaust system adopts negative
balancing ventilation style, smoke and gas come from ESP to FGD, then exhausted to
atmosphere, or directly vented to atmosphere via FGD bypass. Induced/forced draft fan is axial
type, forced draft fan is adjustable moving-blade one, and induced fan is adjustable static-blade
one. The pulverizing system is warehouse type, smoke drying pulverizing system, adopting
negative pressure ventilation. Each boiler is equipped with two single-in-single-out BBI ball
miller. The primary fan (pulverized coal exhauster) use centrifugal fan. The smoke exhaust
goes through the fabric filter undergoing the pulverized coal filtering, and then to the smoke
exhauster, being vented to the atmosphere.
Ash handling and ash yard: dry bottom handling style is adopted. The bottom ash
is discharged to ash sump via the slag crusher, hydraulic ejector. The ash collected
from air preheater, ECO and electric precipitator is sent to large scale ash silo (each of
the two silos has capacity of 2500 m3). Dry ash is further sent to ash slurry pond
through blending of ash and water, and then conveyed to ash yard by ash slurry pump
(Composite utilization of dry ash is kept at the same time).
Dust collection and desulphurization system: four-electric field electrostatic precipitator is
chosen. For this phase, a 200m-height dual steel flue stack will be built. Synchronously, 100%
capacity FGD is to be built, adopting wet desulphurization process, limestone-plaster forced
oxidation, using gas - gas heat exchanger (GGH);

I purge of heat transfer
elements

When the ash deposit is slight (it can be judged
by experience according to the resistence
increase of air, gas in the preheater, combining
with attribute of ash that result from the coal
being fired), while can not clear up the ash
deposit only depend on the fixed ash blowing
facilities, compressed air (with pressure
1.2-1.3MPa) can be used to purge the heat
transfer surface, rotor surface and air, gas duct
after the stop of air preheater. The purge work
follows the sequence of from bottom to top,
then from top to bottom. During the blowing,
open all baffles of feed, induce fan, to allow the
boiler keep certain negative pressure, keeping
the good ventilation of air preheater.

II Washing of heat
transfer element

1. Destination of cleaning the heat transfer
elements: when the ash layer on the surfaced of
elements is hard to purge, flush it with water
that require certain quality demand.( usually,
flush with alkaline water in 60-80 and rinse
with water) The washing should be in the
state of furnace stop, and having enough
flushing and drying time.
2. Before the washing of heat transfer element,
the following work should be performed:
(1) Verify the degree of ash depositing according to
the maintenance records, operation conditions of
air preheater.
(2)Choose water cleaning method according to
depositing degree:
When the ash i s soft and has high solubility,
fixed washing equipment can be used to clean ( the
matching equipment supplied by manufacturer or
the flushing pipe from manufacturer served with
water supply of power plant).
When the ash deposit is hard having low
solubility, some high pressure washing equipment
Whichever
method is
adopted, if the
heat transfer
elements are
to be cleaned,
they must be
completely
washed, and
until the

may be used for clean.
When the ash deposit is very hard or even being
the type of sintering, which is hard to clean with water,
the heat transfer elements box may be disassembled
for clean.
(3) Ensure the normal operation of drive device of air
preheater.
(4) Ensure the normal work of flushing device and
sufficient water supply.
(5) The boiler is stopped, and forced draft and
induced draft fans stop operation. Cleaning heat
transfer elements with single draft fan operating is not
recommended.
3. Cleaning method
(1) Washing with fixed rinsing device;
The washing job is better to start when the gas
temperature at inlet of air preheater decreases to
200 ( to prevent the permanent deformation, the gas
temperature is required below 200 ), and to
terminate before 80 .
Prior to cleaning, the ash in the h opper of air
preheater should be discharged.
During the flush, stop all the forced draft, induced
draft fan.
In the cleaning process, secondary drive device
should be employed to keep the air preheater run at
low speed.
The temperature of cleaning w ater is preferred to

III Inspection of heat
transfer elements

Rinsing pressure and flow rate: water pressure at
primary secton > 0.52 MPa; the flow rater of each
rinsing probe is about 150t/h.
Alternatively rinse the heat transfer elements at
primary and final section following the sequence of
primary section to final section. When the rinsing
pressure and water amount can meet the demand,
the washing work at both ends may be performed at
same time; discontinuned rinsing may also be taken
to allow the softening of deposits.
In the process, chec k the draining regularly.
When the pH difference is less than 1, or when the
rinsing water is common water, the pH value of
draining water is within 6-8, stop the washing.
Completing the rinsing, close the water supply,
after making sure the valve has no leakage, close the
draining valve.
After the rinsing work, immediately carry out the
job of drying the heat transfer elements. During the
drying, keep the rotating of air preheater, totally stop
the forced draft fan and induced draft fan, fully open
the air, gas baffles of inlet/outlet of air preheater.
Adopting natural ventilation, dry the heat transfer
elements with residual heat of boiler and air
ventilation. It must be make sure that all the heat
transfer elements is completely dried.
The rinsing result of heat transfer elements.
Draw out some typical heat transfer elements from
each layer. Take them down to check whether every
surface of the elements has ash deposit and
sediment or not. And ensure the completely dry of
them, i.e. being qualified. Otherwise, they are more
inclining to accumulate ash.
(2) Washing with special rinsing machine: when
regular rinsing machine is hard to clean the ash
deposit, special rinsing machine may be used to
washing the equipment after cooling of boiler.

clean the surface deposit with mechanical method
and then reassemble them.
When the number or shape of heat transfer
elements can not be restored to the same of origin,
reasonable heat transfer elements should be
arranged perfectly according to the design of
manufacturer. Do not change the gaps between heat
transfer elements and the number of them, to avoid
affecting the performance of air preheater.

2.9.2 Structure of boiler water circulating pump
The Boiler water circulating pump is a single-in-dual-out single stage centrifugal pump in
the circulation of boiler water. It consists of wet-type stator asynchronous motor and connected
pump component, pump housing and heat exchanger for cooling motor. Thereinto, the inlet and
outlet of pump housing are connected to downcomer system of boiler. In the cavity of pump,
there is an closed type diffuser driven by key and a mixed-flow impeller which is mounted on the
extension end of motor shaft. In the impeller and diffuser, wear-resist rings are equipped. The
motor is hanged on the pump housing, the motor and pump housing are connected with high
pressure sealing flange. To reduce the heat transfer from pump body to motor, the cross section
at the connection part of motor and pump is very small, such part is called neck. The motor
casing and pump are intergrated via the connection of neck. Separation plate is installed at the
connection section of pump and neck, to prevent the boiler water to the inner of motor. The heat
exchanger is arranged besides the motor. It forms a cooling circuit together with motor.

3 Valve, Water Level gauge, Pipe and Accessories
3.1 Maintenance of Safety Valve
3.1.1 Structure of Safety Valve
8 spring safety valves made by Crosby Company are equipped the boiler. The arrangement
positions are:
Drum 3
Superheater outlet pipe 1
Reheater inlet pipe 2
Reheater outlet pipe 2
A draining solenoid valve is installed on the superheater outlet pipe with a brand of VTI and
supplied by Crosby Company.
The setting pressure and discharge capacity of safety valve is in accordance with ASME.
The maximum evaporation of boiler is 995t/h and total discharge capacity of drum safety valve
is 881.796t/h, accounting to 88.62% of the maximum evaporation. Discharge capacity of
superheater safety valve is 153.86t/h, 15.46% of the maximum evaporation. The total discharge
capacity of drum and superheater safety valve is 1035.656t/h, 104.09% of the maximum
evaporation.
The maximum flow of reheat steam is 848.6t/h. the total discharge capacity of reheater inlet
safety valves is 512.94t/h, 60.45% of the maximum flow of reheat steam. Total discharge
capacity of reheater outlet safety valves is 379.157t/h, 44.68% of the maximum flow of reheat
steam. the total discharge capacity of reheater inlet and outlet safety valves is 892.097t/h,
105.13% of the maximum flow of reheat steam.
The discharge capacity of power-operated discharge valve is 166t/h, 16.68% of total
evaporation of boiler, which is not included in the discharge capacity of safety valve.
Safety valve is the major protection equipment for boiler equipment. When boiler pressure
exceeds allowable value, the inlet pressure of valve will increase so that the force applied on
the valve disc will be equal to or greater than the spring force. Then the disc will leave the close
position and the openness chock block will block the cover plate. The valve is to be at full open
position. Steam enters steam chamber H via two blow holes on the top of disc ring. Meanwhile,
stem overlapping ring will go up to the fixed position above the levitation gasket. The clearance
between levitation gasket and stem will increase because of enlarged diameter of overlapping
ring. Therefore steam in chamber H can enter steam chamber Q via the gap between levitation
gasket and overlapping ring and vent to the air through orifice and discharge pipe. When boiler
pressure drops to a safe value, the force applied by upper adjusting ring is lower than that of
spring at the discharge outlet of safety valve. Then the valve disc closes downwards and
overlapping ring will move downwards along with valve stem into the levitation gasket
effectively reducing the steam discharge of the steam chamber H. An instantaneous combined

press force in the chamber H will push along with the flow direction of orifice and direction of
spring force ensuring the valve disc accurately close. The lower adjusting ring controls the
buffer of disc closing. Safety valve can effectively and accurately return to the close position
without damaging the valve disc and sealing surface.

gear and pinion, lube oil system and motor. Rotating part is a cylinder made by steel plate and
its inner wall is furnished with wave-shaped steel tiles. The material is hard low alloy liner plate.
There is a layer of asbestos rubber pad between cylinder and liner plate, which is used to
prevent heat inside cylinder from losing and to buffer the impulsion from steel balls. Hard
wearing steel ball are equipped inside of cylinder. The rotating speed of cylinder is 13.18 r/min.
There is an end cap for each end of cylinder. Inner cap is furnished with sector liner plate and
asbestos rubber pad. Outer cap is connected with hollow shaft. The neck of hollow shaft is
located on the bearing of main shaft. Each end of hollow shaft is connected with a 45 degree
elbow. One is for inlet of raw coal and drying medium and the other is used as outlet of
air-pulverized coal mixture.
When cylinder rotates, steel balls are taken to a certain height by the wave-shaped steel tiles
and fall down to strike raw coal. Raw coal is ground to pulverized coal under the combine action
of steel balls, steel tiles. Drying medium is used to dry and carry pulverized coal. Under the
negative pressure suction of pulverization system, finished pulverized coal is transported along
with drying medium to furnace for combustion.

4.3.2 Coarse /fine pulverized-coal separator
4.3.2.1 Technical specifications of the coarse /fine pulverized-coal separator
TPRI-SZ series biaxial course Pulverized-coal Separator
(I) Equipment introduction:
TPRI-SZ series serial biaxial course Pulverized-coal Separator is one of the important
equipments of the coal pulverizing system. It is used to separate the pulverized coal made by
coal pulverizer. Main technical features of the TPRI-SZ series serial biaxial coarse
Pulverized-coal Separator is: a stage of axial baffle is added between the inner and outer cones
of the axial type coarse Pulverized -coal Separator against the shortcomings existing in the
axial type and radial type coarse Pulverized-coal Separator pulverized coal. Air flow is made
to rotate from the lower baffle extending the distance of rotation, enhancing the separation and
improving the uniformity of pulverized coal; it is beneficial to the combustion of the pulverized
coal in the furnace and to the improvement of the utilization rate of the pulverized coal so as to
improve the economy effect of the boiler.
Its operating Principle is, pulverized coal air flow out of coal pulverizer enter the TPRI-SZ
series serial biaxial coarse Pulverized-coal Separator from its lower part. It moves upwards.
While the flowing section enlarges, the flow decreases. Therefore, part of coarse powder is
separated by gravity. The remaining pulverized coal air flow enters the inner cone via deflector
baffle. Rotating pulverized coal air flow is separated again by the centrifugal force; qualified
pulverized coal air flow passes the bushing at the top and the fine pulverized-coal separator into
the pulverized coal bunker; unqualified coarse pulverized coal returns to the coal pulverizer via
air locker for further grinding.

1.2 Operating Principle
SGF type pulverized fuel feeder is an advanced powder feeding equipment. Pulverized
coal flows to the baffle plate on the upper of pulverized fuel feeder and gullet of impeller through
coal bunker. Rotating impeller brings the pulverized coal to the powder falling outlet at the
bottom of impeller casing. Pulverized coal drops to the discharge impeller. After 90 turn, the
impeller transports the pulverized coal to powder discharge pipe via powder falling outlet. The
whole process is continuous, even and automatic. Powder flow is adjusted by changing the
speed of impeller.
1.3 Features of equipment structure and performance
The entire unit is composed of upper part, lower part and reducer.
Upper part assembly:
Upper part assembly adopts flashboard structure maximizing the space for coal feeding; it
eliminates the potential of pulverized coal bulking; thickness of the sealing layer is increased to
ensure the reliability and tightness of the sealing of the flashboard plate sealing. Stainless
steel flashboard plate has stronger capacity against environmental corrosion and other
pulverized coal corrosion.
Lower part assembly
Lower part assembly is the main part of the pulverized fuel feeder. Main shaft, scraper and
impeller form the conveying part for pulverized coal inside the lower part. Its structure can

4.5.4 Operation and repair
1. After each startup, run without load for awhile until equipment operates normally before
feed materials. Feeding should be kept evenly without sudden change or overload.
2. Unless specified, equipment should not be shutdown with load. Normally, equipment
should not be shutdown until materials in the machine groove are discharged. For the
startup after emergency shutdown because of full load transportation, Jog the equipment
for several times or manually remove the material in the machine groove.
3. If several conveyors form a streamline, the last one should be started up at first while the
shutdown procedure is opposite. The startup also can be control by interlocking
4. Operator should regularly check parts of the machine. Especially the flight chain and drive
device should be kept intact. Immediately repair or replace the damaged parts (such as
deformation of scraper, falling off of the cotter pin, serious abrasion of the bending section
of the lead rail).
5. During operation, prevent iron part, large hard objects or debris from entering conveyor to
avoid equipment damage or accident.
6. Keep good lubrication of all bearings and drive parts. Lubrication of embedded scraper
transporter is shown in the following figure. Attention should be paid not to apply grease on
the flight chain, support lead rail and great wheel, tail block.
7. Normally a minor overhaul every 6 months, a medium overhaul every year and an overhaul
every 3 years should be carried out for the embedded scraper transporter. During
overhaul, all parts of the embedded scraper transporter should be removed and cleaned;
replace abrasion parts. Motor, reducer should be maintained or repaired as per their
relative technical requirements.
8. For conveyor operating seasonally, maintain and care it during outage. A little #10 lube oil
can be dropped between flight chain pin roll and chain bar to avoid seizing caused by
corrosion; food oil can be used in case of foodstuffs delivery.

5.3.2 Function description
The fan is a variable stator blade induced draft fan designed and manufacured by our
company with the imported technology of Germany TLT Corporation.
The gas passes throuth the inlet regulating device of gas inlet box, and then enters into
impeller in a flow angle direction that corresponds with the inlet guide blade; it obtains the
needed energy of overcoming resisitence derived from pipe networks in the impeller.This
presents with total pressure rising of the gas.
In the variable stator blade induced draft fan, the realization of total pressure rising of gas
medium in the impeller relies largely upon the increase of dynamic pressure, while the
conversion of dynamic pressure to static pressure is realized in straightening guide blade and

Inlet Guide Blade Regulating Device (87.00) 125
Inlet guide blade regulating device is equipped with airfoil-shaped front guide blade, and
connected with regulating mechanism, when the regulating mechanism acts to adjust, the fan
inlet front guide balde is brought to different positions to change the flow angle of fan inlet, thus
higher efficiency can be attained in different working conditions to adapt to the requirements of
boiler variable working conditions.
Casing (51.00)
It is an outer shell of the fan. By suitable treatment on the inside diameter, a clearance of
4-5mm between the casing and impeller shall be ensured.
There exists a set of fixed straightened guide blade (rear guide blade) in the backside of
the casing.
Diffuser (55.00)
The diffuser bears a certain diffusion angle; with the area increase of the flow passage, the
flow rate of the fan will decrease, converting the dynamic pressure to static pressure will made
transportation and deinstallation much easier.All of the above still parts are allowed to be
dissected.
5.3.2.2 Rotor
Mainly consists of:
Bearing box (11.00):
In consideration of thermal expansion influence, the casing and the diffuser is flexibly
connected by shroud so that thermal expansion cannt be a danger to the rotor under any
circumstances.

structure to reduce weight. blade the blade is produced in line with certain mode line heat
moulding, and welded on to wheel hub at a certain stagger angle. The impeller connects with
the main shaft firmly through high strength bolt.
Shaft description (11.11)
In order to faciliate the assembly and disassembly of impeller, the shaft is designed to be
sectional and flange is used to connect adjacent two sections; flange that connects the impeller
is welded on the shaft. Power transmission between coupling and shaft is delivered through fit
key, while power transmission between fan shaft and impeller is realized by virtue of fitted bolt.
Bearing description
Bearing block description
Double-row self-aligning spherical roller bearing is installed in horizonally-split bearing, and
cylinder hole is applied to the shaft directly.
Top and bottom bearing boxes are connected through four bolts and riveted through two
taper pins to guarantee correct installation, the end cover of the bearing boxes is a one-piece
structure and is connected through bolts with bearing box, the footing of bearing box is provided
with bolt hole to faciliate the connection with bearing box chassis through bolt, moreover,
alignment hole used for aligning with taper pin is furnished.
Bearing box is especially designed for fixed bearing and floating bearing, so it is
unnecessary to house additional retaining ring in the bearing box. Total axial displacement of
floating bearing approximates to 10mm.
Frame description
Floating bearing block is located on the bearing bracket of straightening guide blade; motor
YKK710-8(29.00) has its own chassis; bracket of fixed bearing box (11.14) is directly mounted

Floating bearing box of the fan is located within straightening guide blade loop, in order to
be free from the influnce of medium temperature, it employs 4-72-11 No 3.2 centrifugal fan,
which is introduced by cooling air duct from the backside of diffuser.
Thermometer
Temperature of the main bearing of the fan is measured through resistance thermometer,
and each bearing block is furnished with three thermal resistance thermometers to measure the
temperature, collected signal will be sent to central control room.
Vibration-measuring detector: each bearing block is provided with a vibration sensor to
measure the vibrating amplitude of bearing block in horizontal direction.
Other spare parts
The fan is also equipped with instrumentation for gauging bearing temperature vibration, oil
level and fan surge, which can provide telemetering, monitoring and interlocking functions to
ensure the operation stability of the fan.The fan is also provided with interface for measuring
gas pressure and temperature for the user to detect air volume and air pressure.
5.3.2.3 Regulating device
Regulation of the fan capacity is achieved by means of the inlet guide regulating device. When
the regulating device is adjusted, the stagger angle of fan inlet guide blade will be adjusted
synchronously. As for a specified fan capacity, optimum prewhirl can be made available to
medium by regulating front guide blade stagger angle of the impeller. The fan can achieve
higher efficiency than throttle governing type under variable working conditions. Because the air
flow directions are almost axial in the simple throttle governing type and bear no relation to the
actual capacity of the fan.
The inlet regulating device adjusting the inlet static blade angle by means of the regulating
mechanism of electric actuator is feasible. Electric actuator operates on the basis of automatic
control provided pulse signal as required by plant capacity. Electric actuator connects with the
position loop of inlet guide blade regulating device by means of steel operating lever. When the
electric actuator acts, position loop rotates together, thereby regualtion can be achieved
through winch, connecting rod and the changing of the inlet guide blade angle.

6.2 Structure of ESP
The method utilizing HV electrostatic field to act on dust gas is called electrostatic
precipitation and the equipment is named electrostatic precipitator (ESP). Its operation principle
is that: in HV electrostatic field, gas is ionized by the electric field force into electrons and ions.
These electrons and ions move under the action of electric field force and combine with dust
making dust charged. Dust particles with negative electric charge are collected at anode
(collecting plate), discharged and adhere to the anode. Meanwhile, particles with positive
charge are collected at the cathode. When dust accumulation reaches a certain thickness, dust
particles will be peeled off from the collecting plate by rapping mechanism and drop into ash
bucket. The dust collecting process finishes.
Major features of ESP are: high efficiency; low operation resistance; low operation cost.
However, cost of ESP is high, and its volume is huge requiring a large area. In addition, it has
strict requirements on manufacture, installation and maintenance. Efficiency is easily to be
affected by operation factors. Therefore, operators should have high technical capability.
An ESP is composed of one or more chambers and fields. Devices include discharge
electrode, collecting electrode, rapping unit, ash bucket, ash discharging device. So-called
chamber is a sub branch of transverse flue gas path. There may be single chamber, double
chamber or triple chamber according to flue gas volume. So-called Field is a dust removal unit
along with the direction of gas flow. Each unit has an independent working system.
6.3 Maintenance of ESP
1. Get Equipment Conditions before Maintenance:
Include: operating parameters of electric fields before ESP outage (secondary voltage,
current,ratio of putting into operation, operation hours, etc.); equipment defect and treatment
records; summary of last overhaul and operation maintenance logs since last overhaul (such as
technical improvement and equipment replacement).
2. Prepare Maintenance Schedule:
SEC
2300 MW

Date: 2008-10-20 No.:QN1-SEC-G-04-TP-009 - 204 -
Rev. : A

Include: progress control schedule; maintenance procedures; labour arrangement and
diciplines coordination; special technical provisions and safety procedures.
3. Material preparation and site arrangement:
Include: preparation of spare parts, maintenance material, construction tools, safety facilities,
lighting tools and protective clothes; division of working area and stack area; management of
site spare parts.
4. Preparation of technical record forms:
Include: measurement record forms of electrode distance, record form for no-load step-up
test of electric field universe point, distributing test of air flow, rapping acceleration test, air
leakage ratio test record forms(if necessary).
Safety Measures and Precautions during ESP Maintenance
1. Maintenance activities inside ESP and at high-altitude should be performed as per
requirements specified in [Working Regulation of Power Safety].
2. Maintenance inside ESP should be carried out after boiler is shut down and cooled by
natural cooling or draft cooling, and the temperature of the electric field is below the safety
value as well as the residual flue gas is exhausted. The safety temperature is 40oC
normally. Properly extend the safety temperature limit as required and strengthen
protective measures. However, the temperature limit should not exceed 45oC.
3. Before enter ESP electric field, shut off the power supply, lay grounding wire and hang
warning sign.
a) Shut off power and hang warning sign: cut off the HV power supply with an obvious
breaking point and hang the warning sign. Cut off the power supplies of the ESP
auxiliary equipment (rapping, ash handling, and electric heater) and hang a warning
sign.
b) Discharge electric field and lay down grounding wire: after verifying the HV power is
shut off, put the HV disconnector to position Power-Grounding and lock it and hang
warning sign. Discharge the electric field with the grounding wire. Then hang a
warning sign written with grounded. Before open b manhole to get in electric field,
discharge the manhole and electric field. Insulation glove should be worn during
discharging and laying grounding wire.
4. Power supplies for electric field maintenance:
a) Voltage of the portable light should not be higher than 12V.
b) If a 220V or 380V maintenance power supply is needed to be routed into the electric
field, a guardian should be appointed outside the electric field manhole to quickly shut
off the power supply equipped with earth leakage protector in case of emergency. The
earth leakage protector should be qualified. Power wires should be well insulated to
avoid any accident.
SEC
2300 MW

Date: 2008-10-20 No.:QN1-SEC-G-04-TP-009 - 205 -
Rev. : A

c) Welding wires routed into electric field should be well insulated without any damage or
leakage.
5. For maintenance inside electric field, working bags should be used for material
transportation. Count the material and tools before each commence and after each
completion. Remove debris produced by maintenance and do not leave them at electrodes
to prevent them from dropping into ash hopper or left in the electric field.
6. For maintenance inside electric field, there should be at least two personnel with another
for guardian outside the ESP manhole.
7. Special safety measures should be arranged for specific maintenance items:
a) Safety measures during no-load step-up test of electric field: the key points of the
activity are the combination of mechanical and electrical works simultaneously,
power-on test and discharge treatment.

1. Drive system: includes main motor, coupling, gear box etc. Normally, the application of
coupling is ignored for minor units. For medium or large units, separable coupling drivers
will be installed for easy assembling and maintenance.
2. Major equipment: in the shape casing, two engaged screw stem rotors are arranged
parallelly, respectively called female and male rotor. Two rotors form a pair of enclosed V
type space with casing. This space will reduce along with the rotation of rotor and the
space will move towards primary port from intake port. This is the whole process of intake-
compress - primary.
3. Control system includes induction system, governor system, minimum pressure valve bank,
safety control system and PC controller. Subsystems all contain associated solenoid
valves, sensors, air-operating piping and related PC programs and orders.
Control system contains the most parts and acts most frequent. Therefore, it is the system
with the most failures. The largest differences and features of different brands are reflected by
this system. In consideration of high reliability, quantity of parts in the ATLAS unit is reduced as
far as possible. Even the governing system is cancelled. Therefore, ATLAS unit has a simple
operation method. In addition, ATLAS combines the load controlling system and discharge
system to the air intake valve. Failure ratio is reduced significantly by adopting piston valve
instead of adjustable butterfly-valve. Its simple operation method makes it difficult for user of

small amount of air to match demand and supply.
4. Cooling lubrication system: includes special lube oil, heat exchanger, temperature- sensing
valve, oil cut-off valve and cooling fan.
5. Air flow-oil system-cooling system: air is sucked into LP head (E1) through air filter;
after compression, compressed air enters intermediate cooler (Ci) to be cooled. Then
compressed air enters HP head for further compression. Before enters air network, it flows
through silencer (AS) to reduce noise and aftercooler to be cooled. A check valve (CV) is
also installed at the downstream of silencer for ZR110-275 and downstream of aftercooler
for ZR300-750.
6. Condensate blowdown system: two Water separators are installed. One is installed at the
down stream of intermediate cooler (mti) to prevent condensate from entering HP screw
stem head. The other is installed at the down stream of aftercooler to prevent condensate
from entering primary air pipe. Water separator is connected to the condensate blow down
tank. Each blow down tank is equipped with a ball float valve for automatic blowdown and a
manual blowdown valve. For ZR300-750, an extra water separator is installed on the vent
pipe preventing condensate from entering silencer when equipment transfers from loading
to unloading.
7. Lube oil system: lube oil in the oil sink of gear box is pumped by the oil pump (OP) to
bearing and synchronizing gear through cooler (Co) oil filter (OF). Bypass valve (BV) will
open when pressure of lube oil reaches the setting valve.
Cooling system: cooling water flows by cooler (CO) to the cooling water jackets of HP screw
stem head (Eh) and LP screw stem head (El) respectively. For ZR300-750 type, cooling water
is also used to cool the vent pipe of LP screw stem head (E1) and flows by Intermediate cooler
(Ci) and aftercooler (Ca). Cooling system parts failure will directly result in outage of unit.
More than 90% of heat exchanging is carried by cooling system. During hot days, volume of
exchanged heat will increase several times. Any improper maintenance of the cooling system
will result in poor operation, low efficiency, high energy consumption etc. It is important to
perform preventive maintenance before hot days.
7. 3 Maintenance level for Double screw air compressor
The maintenance level of the air system is determined by the oil service life, action times of
parts, bearing service life and abrasion situation of parts..
Normally, the quality and performance of the mineral oil will significantly decrease after 2000
hours operation, and the accumulated carbon will increase. After 2000 hours operation, the
meshes of the filter adopting paper element will be seriously blocked causing the filtering
efficincy decrease, pressure of the lube oil decrease and the inactive power of the unit increase.
The service life of the oil used for filter with glass fibre as element will reach more than 4000
hours. In addition, the service life of the sealing rings of the moving parts in the minimum
pressure valve, load controlling valve of the control system might reach 4000hours because of
iron-oxygen used in the sealing ring. Normally, service life of the air compressor is about 8000

8 Oil Free Screw Air Compressor
8.1 Technical Specifications
To supply clean compressed air, the motors supply no lubrication and cooling to the
compressing part of the main rotor. The motors adopt two stage compressions, two stage
cooling and two stage gas water separation to lower the work temperature to an acceptable
level. The rotors are made of special materials with advanced technology to lower the motor
load. All the above is to make the air compressor adapt to harsh work conditions. However, the
parts with no compressed air contact, including gear box and bearings, are still oil lubricated
and cooled.
8.2 Oil Free Screw Air Compressor Configuration
The compressor consists of driving system, two stage air intake valve, low pressure motor,
high pressure motor, gas water separator, cooling system, lubrication system and electronic
control system.
As the compressor has twin motors, the driving system and working principle is different
from those with single motor.
When the compressor starts, it drives the specialized gear box through coupling, which at
the same time drives the twin motors and oil pump to pump the oil from the gear box. In order to
prevent oil leak to the rotor from the motor casing when the pressure is high, the oil system has
a by-pass valve, which opens automatically to release the pressure. When the compressor
reaches the nominal speed, the solenoid valve is triggered. The primary airintake valve
gradually opens under the system pressure to start the primary motor. The primary motor works
and the compressed air enters the middle cooler. With pressure increasing, the high pressure
air overpowers pressure relief valve to completely open the airintake valve, followed by
pressure increase and primary gas water separator to enter the secondary air intake valve
silencer to open the minimum pressure valve to go to the secondary motor for further
compression. The high temperature and pressure gas is supplied after secondary oil gas
separator and cooling. When the secondary pressure reaches relief pressure, the loading
solenoid valve is cut off and turned off to release the valve and the pressure is released with
primary airintake valve closed and secondary airintake valve returned, the motor starts
unloading. Simultaneously, the oil from the oil pump is supplied to the dual motors and gears
after filtering and the oil returned is collected by the gear box after oil cooler and the balanced
between the oil and the atmosphere is maintained through breather.
If the unloading is too long, the controller will stop the compressor until the pressure drops
to loading pressure to initiate another cycle.
8.3 Maintenance and Service
1. It shall be carried out by professionals.
2. Daily monitors the operational parameters.
3. Weekly cleans the motors.

9 Refrigerated Air Dryer
9.1 RSL Type Refrigerated Air Dryer Technical Specifications
9.1.1 Working Principle Description
RSL Type refrigerated air dryer lowers the air temperature so that the water vapor in the
compressed air become over-saturated and turns into water droplets, which will be separated
and discharged, so that the compressed air can be dried. The dew point of the compressed air
in the RSL dryer can be lowered to 2~10 under pressure.
RSL Type refrigerated air dryer product is as a result of several new technical innovations
and patents, characterized by its stability, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and automation.

9.1.3 Process Description
Air Compression
1. Air compression consists of pre cooler, evaporator, cyclone separator, and automatic
water discharge equipment.
2. The humid compressed air from the air compressor enters the pre cooler of the
refrigerated air dryer, where it conducts heat exchange with the low temperature
compressed air from the cyclone separator and becomes cooler. As a result, it is
condensed due to over saturation together with oil and dust particles.
3. The pre-cooled compressed air enters the evaporator to carry out a further strong heat
exchange, when the temperature is dramatically dropped to the dew point to produce
large quantity of water, which will then be drained together with that in the pre cooler
by the automatic water discharge system.
4. Then, the low temperature compressed air enters the cyclone separator, where the
condensed water particles is separated by enforced cyclone and discharged. By now,
the compressed air reaches the drying requirements.
5. The dried low temperature compressed air returns to the pre cooler to heat exchange
with the humid high temperature air, which is then to be conveyed downstream for
use.
Refrigeration System
1. The refrigeration system mainly consists of air compressor, condenser, expansion
valve and evaporator with other auxiliary parts.
2. The refrigerant is compressed by the refrigeration compressor into high temperature
and pressure gas and output into condenser, where it is cooled into liquid with normal
temperature and pressure. Then it goes to expansion valve and expands and changes
into low temperature and pressure gas liquid mixture and enters the evaporator to
heat exchange with the compressed air. The refrigerant mixture absorbs the heat from
the incoming compressed air and evaporates and is sucked into the refrigeration
compressor to reinitiate the cycle.
3. The hot air bypass valve is to control the amount of refrigerant to be recycled based on
the load change of the compressed air so that refrigeration system matches to the
load of the compressed air to ensure the quality of the air. The valve requires manual
SEC
2300 MW

Rev. : A

adjustment when the load varies greatly.
4. The high/low pressure controller is to ensure the refrigeration compressor work within
the specified scope. The condensation controller is to ensure the condensation
pressure not lower than specifications. Both the scope and the condensation pressure
have been factory pre-set.
5. The drying and filtering device plays the role of cleaner, to remove the water,
impurities, and acid matters in the refrigerant.
6. The water regulating valve is to control the water supply based on the primary
pressure of the refrigeration compressor to maintain the normal condensation
pressure. The valve requires manual adjustment when the compressed air load varies
greatly or the temperature and pressure of the cooling water varies dramatically.
7. Refrigerant valve is to fill in refrigerant when the dryer is being assembled or serviced.
8. The solenoid valve is to cut off the high and low pressure parts of the refrigeration
system when the dryer stops, so a balance between them can be gradually achieved.
9. The stop valve is for maintenance and service.
9.2 Maintenance and Service
9.2.1 Principles
1. The dryer has to be enlisted for company assets management, and the maintenance,
service and operation log regulations need to be set up based on the characteristics of
the dryer and to be strictly implemented.
2. The operation, maintenance and service of the dryer shall be conducted by trained
personnel.
3. The dryer in operation needs to be checked regularly, every 1 to 2 hours, and logged.
9.2.2 Content

2.4.1 Belt Installation
The belt for the blower is narrow V shaped belt. The correction installation of the wheel and
belt will directly affect the life span of the belt and the equipment performance. Following items
needs to be taken care of:
1. Before belt installation, loosen the motor tightening bolts and track adjustable screw to
shorten the central distance. No prying force shall be used.
2. The belt and grooves shall be free from impurities.
3. In consideration of the preliminary elongation rate, after adjustment, the blower can be
operated for 2 hours to ensure the tension. The tension is to ensure no slipping and no
tightness. The tension can be measured by the sagging distance when there is a
weight. Refer to the following illustration.

The fixed force W vertically works onto the central of the belt, when the sagging satisfies
S=0.016a (mm), it indicates the tension is proper. The W is valued in the scope 76.4~101.9N,
with median value as the appropriate.
!
Warning: If the belt is too tight, the lifespan of the belt and bearing will be
shortened. If too loose, slipping and vibration will be caused.
4. Use ruler or lines to check the position of the wheels. As the following diagram
indicates, the axial lines shall be parallel after adjustment. The symmetrical plane of
the corresponding grooves shall be overlapped, with deviation of 20l1.6a/1000.
5. After adjustment, the coupling bolts and track adjustable screw must have been
tightened.
6. When replacing belt, belts of the same specifications must be used and old and new
ones shall not be mixed. Upon wheel replacement, the wheel shall be the same as the
previous specifications.
7. Loosen the belts if they are not used for a long time.
!
Warning: In order to ensure safety and security, belt hood shall be installed.

Rev. : A

2.5.1 Introduction
1. Cautions

1) The safety valve for the blower is metal sealing type with the seat and core
assembled together after grinding; therefore, it is not affected by ambient humidity
and temperature. If there are foreign objects attached to the seat, when the core
works, it will go to the contact surface, causing leakage. In addition, when moving
the valves, it shall be handled carefully as collision will cause leakage.

2) The safety valve must be installed on an horizontal pipe through a tee to ensure
the axis of it is vertical to the ground.
3) During operation, if the sensitivity of the safety valve is lowered, then it means
immediate cleaning to the valve seat and core. The method is to remove the cap
and spring and use diesel or petrol to clean it. (The following diagram indicates
the structure of the valve.)

4) All the parts shall be periodically cleaned in order to ensure the life span and its
sensitivity.
2. Principle: When the load exceeds the set pressure of the safety valve, the valve opens
to prevent blower faults.
!
Warning: When the blower is in operation, do not stay around the primary hole of
the safety valve to prevent getting burnt.
2.5.2 Check valve
The check valve has to be installed onto a horizontal pipe. During installation, the valve
rotation shaft shall be horizontal and pay attention to the flow direction (refer to the diagram
below).

11 Slag Removal System
11.1 Slag Hopper Maintenance and Service
11.1.1 Slag Hopper and Slag Gate Structure
The slag hopper is to temporarily store the furnace slag. The slag from the furnace falls
into the hopper and releases great amount of heat and explodes to many small pieces to
get stored in the hopper. After a period of time, the slag will be flushed out of the hopper by
water through the slag gate and crusher. The water level in the hopper has to be
maintained; therefore there are two 6 inch water inlet pipe and drain pipe in the hopper.
The structure of the hopper is bottom support. The up water trough is located below the
header under the water-cooling wall. The water sealing plate of the header under the
water-cooling wall is connected to the water trough to seal the furnace and ensures the
water wall expansion and contraction to maintain the stability of the water level.
Surrounded the water trough are 10 pieces of 2 inch low pressure water pipe and one
overflow pipe to ensure the water level. The 4 corners of the water trough have 4 discharge
valves which are used when the furnace is being serviced to drain the water and slag in the
water trough. The slag hopper has two halves on the left and right connecting with each
other. At the bottom, it is fitted with slag gate and slag crusher.
