Scanner air fan A will receive a start command.
A ten second counting period is started. After the scanner air fan(s) are on during
the ten second counting period, the scanner duct to furnace differential pressure is
increased. The ten second counting period is reset.
If the ten second counting period expires, this indicates that the scanner duct to
furnace differential pressure remains low, and the SCANNER DUCT TO FURNAC
DELTA P LOW alarm is activated.
SCANNER AIR FAN CONTROL
The scanner air fans cannot be stopped
automatically. The scanner air fan should be
operated until the furnace temperature has dropped
to below 140 (60C)
Either scanner air fan can be placed in service
manually when the Operator activates the
associated START SCANNER AIR FAN push-buttons.
When both scanner air fans are on and the scanner
duct to the furnace differential pressure is not low,
either scanner air fan can be stopped by
momentarily activating the associated STOP
SCANNER AIR FAN push-button.
SEAL AIR FAN CONTROL
AUTO OPERATION
When either Primary Air Fan is on, selected seal air fan is automatically placed in
service. A two second counting period is started if selected seal air fan is not on. The
two second counting period will expire if selected seal air fan remains off for more
than two seconds after it was started. If this occurs, selected seal air fan will receive
a stop command. Another Seal air fan will receive a start command.
An alarm will be established when either Primary Air Fan is on and Seal Air
Header/Cold Air Duct DP is low, both conditions present for 10 seconds. This alarm
signal will automatically start the seal air fan which is stopped if the other seal air
fan is started.
Either seal air fan can be placed in service manually by its Start push buttons.
When both seal air fans are on, Either seal air fan can be stopped by its Stop push
button..
The seal air fans are manually shutdown after the both primary air fans are off and
