BOILER
Definition
As per Indian Boiler Act 1923, Boiler is defined as any closed vessel
exceeding 22.75 liters in capacity which is used exclusively for
generating steam under pressure and includes any mounting or
accessoriesattachedtosuchvessel,whichiswhollyorpartiallyunder
pressure,whensteamisshutoff.

SteamGenerationInABoiler..contd
In a Boiler fuel is burnt to get heat energy which is converted from
chemicalenergystoredinafuel.Thisheatenergyisutilizedtoproduce
steamfromfeedwater.
Fuel is fired in the furnace of the Boiler. Different fuel is used in
different Boilers. Accordingly furnace is designed. Water tubes are
arrangedaroundthefurnaceandfluegaspath.Watertubearrangement
made around the furnace is called as water wall. Feed water is
circulatedinthesetubes.WatercomestowaterwallfromBoilerdrum,
andcirculatedbacktodrumafterabsorbingheat.Duetodifferencein
density which is created due to difference in temperature, water
circulates in these tubes naturally. Therefore, it is called Natural
Circulation.

Duringcirculationofwaterintubes,steamisgeneratedandcollectedat
the upper part of the Drum. This is called Saturated Steam
correspondingtoBoilerdrumpressure.Thissteamisfurtherheatedin
Superheatersandbecomessuperheatedsteam.
Boiler Drum is filled with fresh feed water. The feed water, before
enteringintodrumisheatedatEconomizer.Economizerisplacedatthe
flue gas path. Most of the heat of the flue gas is utilized inside the
Boiler.Stillconsiderableamountofheatenergyisavailableinit.This
heatisutilizedinEconomizertoheatupthefeedwater.
Forburningoffuel,requiredOxygenisobtainedfromatmosphericair.
Air is required in Boiler furnace for combustion. This is supplied by
Forced Draught (FD) fan. This air is heated at air preheater (APH)

b.TubefailureinEconomizer
IfBoilerEconomizertubefailsthenwatersupplytoBoilerDrumwill
be affected. This leads to decrease in drum level and Feed Control
valve will open more to compensate the Drum level to Normal water
level,whichleadstooverloadingofBoilerFeedpump.

whitecolourthentubefailureinsidethefurnaceisconfirmed.
c.UnitgettingintoIslandmode
When Unit comes to Island mode, it follows the load connected
to the Generator. Suppose Unit is generating more power than
the Unit load and exporting to Grid.
At the time of Islanding, Generator will follow the load
connected in this Unit and the Governing Control Valves would
close according to load and allow the steam to pass through
Turbine. The surplus amount of steam will remain in Boiler
which increases the Drum pressure. This drum pressure will
exert a downward thrust to the drum level and it decreases
drastically.
d.WhetherCBDvalve,EBDvalveorIBDvalveopened?
If any operating personnel has opened any of these valves without
proper reason or intimation then also drum level decreases rapidly.
Ensurefirstthenclosethevalveorregulateitobservingthedrumlevel.

2.INCREASEINDRUMLEVEL
a.WhetherColdstartupinBoilerisinprogress?
During Cold startup when water temperature reaches 900 C then
formation of bubble starts. This is known as swelling phenomenon. If
this is the case then blow down has to be given to maintain the drum
levelatNormalwaterlevel.

POWERPLANT:BASICOPERATIONOFPOWERPLANT(WHRB)

IfInstrumentaircompressortrips,thenairlockunitofcontrolvalveat
feed control station keeps the control valve at a position at which it
was, before supply of instrument air. This is known as stay put

compressor as early as possible and regulate the feed station control
valve.

c.WhetherStartupventhasopenedorsafetyvalvepoppedup?
Byopeningstartupvent,whenBoilerisinsteamingcondition,supply
of steam to Turbine Drum level increases rapidly due to release of
pressure in drum. If the steam demand in TG has reduced to a large
extent then it results Boiler drum pressure rise quickly and at that
instant drum level falls rapidly. When startup vent is operated to
release the surplus steam or safety valve pops up, then drum level
increases rapidly. In this case at first ensure for what reason the
pressureinBoilerhasincreased.Ifdrumlevelisincreasingdrastically

the steam quality will be affected and carry over of water particles to

f.WhetherrapidheatsupplytoBoiler?
IfheatsupplytoBoilerwillbeincreasedsuddenlywithahugeamount
then it affects the drum level and it swells. To avoid this regulate the

POWERPLANT:BASICOPERATIONOFPOWERPLANT(WHRB)

reduce the Generator set point accordingly to avoid TG trip at main


steam pressure low and ensure whether tube has failed or not. If tube
has failed then Boiler shut down has to be taken to replace the failed
tubewithanewtube.
d.WhetherIDfandamperhasclosedtozeroposition?
This case happens when flue gas temperature at Post Combustion
Chamber reaches 10500 C. Flue gas flow to Boiler cut off when ID
dampercloses.ItmeansheatsupplytoBoilerhascutoff.Itresultsin
less steam generation. So when ID damper closes due to high PCC
temperature, immediate load reduction has to be carried out in
GeneratortoavoidTGtripduetoMainsteampressurelow.
e.WhetherhandleverofSafetyvalvehasbeenoperated?
Ifanypersonhasoperatedthehandleverofsafetyvalvewithoutproper
communicationwiththeoperatingpersonnelforsometimethenBoiler
steampressuredecreasesanddrumlevelincreases.
4.INCREASEINMAINSTEAMTEMPERATURE
a.WhetherBoilerisloadedwithhugeamountofheatsuddenly?
Main steam temperature rises if flue gas temperature at Boiler inlet
rises suddenly. As superheaters are located at convection zone,
therefore when flue gas temperature rises, it increases the superheater
temperature. If attemperator control valve fails to control the main
steam temperature then TG will trip due to main steam temperature
going high. In order to avoid such a situation, if main steam
temperaturerisesduetoriseinfluegastemperature,thenimmediately
attemperator control valve has to be taken to manual mode and
attemperation should be increased. Also communicate with the kiln
personnelaboutthesuddenriseinfluegastemperature.
b.WhetherSootBlowingisinprogress?
During soot blowing, steam temperature rises because more steam is
required for soot blowing and heat input to the Boiler has been
increasedbyopeningtheIDfandamper.Soduringsootblowing,main
steamtemperaturehastobeobservedcarefully.Ifattemperatorcontrol
valvefailstocontroltheriseinmainsteamtemperatureinautomode,
thenithastobecontrolledtakingittomanualmode.
c. WhetherAttemperationcontrolvalveisinmanualmodeorwrong
valuecommandinputbytheoperator?
Normally it happens when there is a high fluctuation in main steam
temperature. The attemperation control valve fails to control the
temperature in Auto mode. So the concerned operator has to take the
attemperationcontrolvalvetomanualmodetocontrolthetemperature.
But if he forgets to put this control valve in Auto mode after
stabilizationofmainsteamtemperature,thenitwillremaininmanual
mode and during more heat input from Kiln, the main steam
temperature would rise. Also sometimes operator puts wrong value
commandforattemperationcontrolvalveopeningfromcontrolstation
in manual mode, which would result in increase in main steam
temperature.
d. Whether forget to open before and after isolation valves of
attemperationControlvalve?
ThissituationcomesduringcoldstartupofBoiler,iftheinspectionand
checking was not done properly by the operation personnel. During
initialperiod,thisthingcannotbenoticedbutatthetimeofmainsteam
temperaturerisebyopeningattemperationcontrolvalveflowofwater
cannot be established as before and after isolation valves are in close
condition. So care has to be taken for proper inspection and checking
beforestartup.

POWERPLANT:BASICOPERATIONOFPOWERPLANT(WHRB)

a.Whetherinletfluegastemperaturehasdropped?
If flue gas inlet temperature drops due to problem in Kiln side then
mainsteamtemperaturedecreases.Soifmainsteamtemperatureisin
decreasing trend then first observe the flue gas inlet temperature to
Boiler.
b. WhetherLoadsetpointisgiveninGeneratormorethantheSteam
generation?
IfLoadsetpointinGeneratorisgivenmorethanthesteamgeneration
inBoilerthenmainsteampressuredecreasesandalsothemainsteam
temperaturedecreases
c.WhethervalvesheetofAttemperationcontrolvalveiseroded?
ThissituationcomesduringLowLoadoperationofBoiler.Ifheatinput
to Boiler is low, then steam generation reduces and also the power
generation.Atthattime,feedwaterpassesduetoerodedvalvesheetof
attemperationcontrolvalveanddecreasesmainsteamtemperature.
d.WhetherIDdamperhasbecomeZeroduetoPCCoutlettemperature
High?
When Post Combustion Chamber temperature increases more than
10500C,openingofIDdamperbecomesZero.Atthattimeheatsupply
to Boiler from Kiln stops suddenly. So it results in rapid decrease in
main steam temperature. If this situation arrives, then attemperation
control valve has to be taken to Manual mode from Auto mode and
decreasingmainsteamtemperaturehastobecontrolled.
6.FURNACEDRAUGHTTOWARDSPOSITIVESIDE
a.Whethertubefailurehasoccurredinsidefurnace?
In furnace, the draught is maintained at negative side to carry out the
hot flue gas, ash and other suspended particles from kiln to chimney
through ID fan. If Boiler tube fails inside furnace then draught goes
towardspositiveside.Assteamdensityishigherthanairdensity.Also
it adds an additional load on ID fan. So ID fan takes more current in
thissituation.
b.Whetherdraughttransmitterisshowingwrongvalue?
This can be known if other draught transmitters in flue gas path are
showing right value and one of these is showing erratic value. This
problem should be brought to the notice to shift in charge and
instrumentationpersonnel.
7. LONG RETRACTABLE SOOT BLOWER IS NOT AT ITS
ORIGINALPOSITION
a. Whether Long Retractable soot blowers chain has broken during
SootBlowingoperation?
If chain breaks at intermediate position of lancer tube during soot
blowingbyLRSB,thenmotorwillbeunabletoretractittotheoriginal
position i.e. home position. Check the position of lancer tube, when
soot blowing operation is in progress and chain has broken. In this
situation,donotcutoffsteamflowthroughlancertube.Itisbecauseit

Observe the condensate is drained properly from that pipe line. After
completion of condensate draining, warmup the pipe line with very
less quantity of steam. Gradually increase the pipe line temperature.

SteamTurbine
Steamturbineisamechanicaldevicethatextractsthermalenergyfrom
steam and converts it into mechanical work. Interiors of a turbine
consistsofseveralsetsofblades.Somesetofbladesarefixedatcasing
(FixedBlade)andsomesetofbladesarefixedontherotor(Moving
Blade).
Fixedbladesconvertpotentialenergyofthesteamintokineticenergy
and direct the flow to moving blades. Moving blades convert this
kineticenergyintoforce,causedbypressuredropandresultinrotation
of turbine shaft. Steam is allowed to enter into the turbine through
control valve. This steam after passing through different stages of
blades is allowed to exhaust. The exhaust steam is condensed in a
condenserandcondensatethenreusedinboiler.

Exhaust steam of turbine is condensed at condenser with the help of
cooling water. The condensate produced is evacuated from the
condenser by the help of Condensate Extraction Pump (CEP). This
condensatepassesthroughglandsealcondenserandejectorcondenser
to gain heat of the gland steam and ejector steam respectively. So the
temperature of condensate increases there before feeding to deaerator

SteamEjectorAndVacuumSystem
Vacuum is maintained by continuously evacuating non condensing
gases from the condenser with the help of steam ejector. Pressure of

condensing gas to create vacuum in the condenser normally steam
ejector is used. This is like a pump in which venturi effect of a

EmergencySituationInSteamTurbine
Steam Turbine is a critical rotating equipment. High
temperatureandpressuresteamisusedtorotatetheturbineat
highspeed.Massoftherotatingpartishigh.Thereisalways
chance of severe misshapen leading to fatal accident and
damage of high cost equipment. Incase of any system goes
wrong generation of power may be interrupted for a longer
period leading to heavy loss to the plant. So the power plant
engineer should be trained enough to face any emergency
situation, at any time and properly handled emergency
situations.
1)Overspeed
Due to failure of governing system the turbine speed may
become dangerously high. Rotor can rotate momentarily
without damage up to 110% of rated speed. At higher speed
rotorstressincreases.Duetohighcentrifugalforcestheblades
which are fixed to the rotor may come out. Failure of blade
root can cause severe accident and damage to turbine. To
avoid dangerous over speed turbine is provided with
mechanical and electrical over speed trip arrangements.
Tripping limits are set in such a way that turbine speed does
not exceed 110% of rated speed. These overspeed tripping
limits are to be checked regularly. Mechanical overspeed
device is to be set within set limit and checked at suitable
intervals.Atanycircumstanceoverspeedtrippinglimitisnot
to be bypassed. If overspeed tripping does not work,
immediatelystoptheturbinebyapplyingemergencytrippush
button. For the 18.5 MW turbine at Tata Sponge, overspeed
trippinglimitis7865rpm.
2)FailureOfLubricationOilSystem:
Lubrication Oil is used to lubricate and cool down bearing
metal. Sometimes the lubrication oil supply may be
interrupted due to failure of pumps, leakage in oil line or

chokingofoilfilter.Thisconditionmaydamagebearingsand
gear box. If such an incident happens for any reason, the
turbine is required to be stopped as soon as possible. Low
lube oil header pressure tripping is incorporated with turbine
to trip the turbine immediately. If lube oil header pressure
becomes 1kg/cm2, oil supply is to be restored as early as
possible.Afterresumingoilsupply,ifpossible,turbineistobe
rotatedmanuallytofindoutanydamage(inspectbearings).
3.HighVibration
Rotoroftheturbinerotatesathighspeed.Anydeformationor
unbalance of the rotor produces high vibration. Sometimes
depositsonbladesanddamageofanyrotatingpartmaycreate
heavyvibration.Damageofjournalbearingmayalsoproduce
vibration. The moving and rotating parts of the turbine are
closedspaced.Duetodisturbanceinrotorshaftordifferential
expansion, there is chance of rubbing. Rubbing creates high
vibrationandabnormalsound,soatanycasehighvibrationof
turbine is not be overlooked. Incase of high vibration the
turbineshouldbestoppedimmediatelyandturbineinternalsto
be inspected to avoid further damage. High vibration
protection in logic is incorporated with turbine to trip the
turbine when turbine front and rear journal bearing vibration
goes to 156 Micron and gear box front and rear journal
bearinggoesto340microns.
4)HighBearingTemperature
Highbearingtemperatureoccursduetoinadequateoilflowin
thebearingormetaltometalcontactinbetweenbearingand
rotor. High temperature damages Babbitt material of the
bearing.Incaseofhightemperatureofthebearing,aturbineis

bearing temperature protection logic is provided to turbine.

5)FailureOfBarringDevice
When turbine is stopped in hot condition, it is to be put on
barring. In some situation just after stopping turbine barring

the rotor in standstill condition. By any means rotor is to be
rotated normally by hand barring arrangements provided to
changetherotorpositionby180Ccontinuously.
6)HighCondenserHotWellLevel
Due to problem in condensate extraction pumps, sometimes
thecondensatecannotbeevacuatedfromhotwell.Sohotwell
level becomes high. In this situation there is possibility that
water level in condenser increases and enters into turbine
through exhaust hood. Condenser vacuum reduces drastically
in this condition. If at any case water enters into a running

11)FailureOfCoolingWaterSystems
Due to failure of cooling water pumps or choking in cooling
water circuit, cooling water supply may be reduced or
interrupted. In this case turbine exhaust steam cannot be
condensed. This will increase the pressure of the condenser
