2 Boiler Main Equipment Structure


2.1 Boiler Overview
2.1.1 Boiler configuration: single horizontal steam drum, single furnace, natural circulation,
fully suspended structure, and full steel frame with π arrangement. The boiler is
installed outdoors and the grid is installed on 9m high operation platform. The furnace
uses membrane water wall. The volute steam-cooled cyclone separator is located in
the middle part of boiler. Two-stage three groups of convectional superheater is
arranged in vertical flue gas duct. Four groups of economizers and three groups air
heaters for primary air and secondary air are arranged in the lower part of
superheater.
2.1.2 Boiler uses CFB combustion technology. The coal feeder feeds the coal to the furnace
through coal chute, and air needed by combustion is supplied by PA fan and SA fan.
Air supplied from PA fan will be preheated by air heater, and enter water-cooled wind
box under the boiler through air duct on left and right side, and then enter combustion
chamber through air cap on water-cooled air distributor plate. The air supplied by SA

fan will be preheated by air heater and then sprayed to furnace through the nozzle on
front wall and rear-wall of furnace in order to make-up air and improve turbulence and
mixability. The fuel in furnace will be mixed and combusted with fluidized circulating
materials. When the density in bed reaches to a certain value, a large amount of
material will go upward in the middle and go downward along the wall and the heat
will be transferred along the height of furnace. The materials carried by the flue gas
will be separated by volute steam-cooled cyclone separator and return to the furnace
through U-beam solid separator to realize circulation combustion. The flue gas will be
discharged through turning room, HT superheater, LT superheater, economizer,
primary and secondary air heater and vertical flue gas duct. CFB combustion mode
promotes significant reduction of SO2 emissions in flue gas can be reduced greatly
through suppling lime stone. In addition The use of the low temperature and graded
air supply technology can suppress NOx emission. The equipment produces high
activity ash and slags, that are potentially available for comprehensive usage.
2.1.3 The feedwater enters the steam drum after being heated by four groups of
economizers arranged horizontally. The boiler water in steam drum enters through the
lower header of water wall, riser, water tube inside of furnace, upper heater and
downcomer. The steam and water separator is installed in steam drum. Saturated
steam enters steam-cooled cyclone separator through the steam connecting pipe on
the top of steam drum, and then through rear steam-cooled enclosed wall tubes, LT
superheater, firs-stage water sprays desuperheater, platen superheater,
second-stage water sprays desuperheater, HT superheater, and finally high-quality
superheated steam is supplied to turbine.

2.2 Steam Drum


2.2.1 Structure
2.2.1.1 The steam drum inner diameter is Φ1600mm, wall thickness is 100mm, the material is
SA-299. The direct section length of steam drum is 17500mm, the steam drum total
length is approximately 19350 mm and using two dome-head ends.
2.2.1.2 the top part of steam drum is welded with joints of steam outgoing pipe, safety valve
pipe and pressure gauge. The feedwater pipe joint is welded on the point formed 45°
angle with the horizontal surface. The water and steam mixture pipe joint is welded on
the form and rear horizontal part. The downcomer pipe joint with large diameter is
welded on the bottom of steam drum. The water level meter pipe joint, recirculation
pipe joint, emergency discharge pipe joint and others are also welded on steam drum.
The manhole, blowdown pipe seat and dosing pipe seat are arranged on seal head.
The pre-welding plate is also welded on the upper and lower surface of steam drum.
Thermocouples are welded on it to monitor upper and lower wall temperature.
2.2.2 Steam Drum Fixing
Steam drum is suspended under top beam by two U-shaped twist chain hanging
frames. Two suspending points are distributed symmetrically at two sides of boiler
drum with a distance of 11500 mm.
2.2.3 Equipment Inside Boiler Drum
The steam and water separator in steam drum adopts single-stage evaporation

system. The cyclone separator, cleaning orifice and louver-shaped corrugated plate
are arranged inside of steam drum. The steam and water mixture enters the cyclone
separator to achieve first-stage separation, the separated steam will go upward and
enter the corrugated plate to complete gravity separation. The steam also will enter
cleaning orifice to reduce salt and silicate content entrained in steam. The steam after
being cleaned will enter top louver separator and multi-orifice plate to achieve
second-stage separation. The separated water will enter the water space of steam
drum and the steam will go to the superheater system through steam outgoing pipe
on top of steam drum.
2.2.3.1 Cyclone Separator
72 axial flow cyclone separators of diameter Φ315mm are arranged into two rows
along the cylinder inside boiler drum, and the average steam load of each separator
under 6t/h in BMCR working condition.
2.2.3.2 Top Ladder and Wave-Shaped Separator
Steam and water mixture flows into cyclone separator along tangential direction for

3.10.1 System Overview
Boiler blowdown system consists of continuous blowdown (CBD) and intermittent
blowdown (IBD). Continuous blowdown refers to water transferred to continuous
blowdown flash tank . Under working pressure and evaporation function, one part of
water becomes steam which is taken to deaerator with relative pressure for medium
and heat recovery, while the rest of water enters continuous blowdown flash tank.
Intermittent blowdown is that blowdown of downcomer header and drain water from
economizer, superheater and all headers enters periodic blowdown flash tank. After
processing inside flash tank, separated steam goes to atmosphere and blowdown
water enters cooling pond. Each boiler is equipped with one continuous and one
intermittent blowdown flash tank, two boilers in total for this project.

5.2.1.1 Air blower casing components mainly consist of left wall plate, casing and right
wall plate made of gray cast-iron after relieving stress. Rolling bearings, labyrinth
gland and oil seal are equipped in the left and right wall plate. The left wall plate
acts as positioning end and the impeller moves towards the left wall plate as a
result of expansion; two cylinder roller bearings are installed in the left wall plate
and self aligning roller bearings or four angle contact ball bearings installed in the
right wall plate. Based on different pressure, international top brands such as NSK
and TWB or national top brand bearings are applied to support the drive rotor
shaft and driven impeller shaft.
5.2.1.2 The air blower has two sets of impellers made of ductile cast iron. Its profile
surface is machined in special CNC machine center. It is installed on the drive
shaft and driven shaft of No.45 steel or 40Cr alloy steel.
5.2.1.3 The main lube parts for air blower are synchromesh gear, rolling bearing, skeleton

Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

type rubber oil seal and others. The bearing end, with the help of drive bearing,
mainly throws out the lube oil in oil trough under oil tank and then lubricates the
parts mentioned-above. The brand of lube oil varies with seasons and
temperature where work is done. It is suggested that N68 is used in summer and
N46 in winter. The lube oil is injected through the refill opening of oil tank until it
reaches the central line of oil pointer. Make adjustment if there is too much or
insufficient oil. The dynamic input end is lubricated by grease with the brand of
ZL3# heat resistance lithium base grease which is regularly injected into through
the forced filling oil cup on the shaft cover by oil gun.
5.2.1.4 When the pressure rising ΔP≥49KPa, fill water to cool. The temperature of cooling
water inlet is lower than 30℃ and cooling water pressure: 49KPa-294KPa and
cooling water flow: 10-15L/min.
5.2.1.5 The Trefoil Roots Blower and motor mainly adopt rubbercushioned sleeve bearing
coupling. But when the rotation speed of blower does not adopt 730r/min、980
r/min and1450r/min, use effective width narrow V belt to transmit. Safety cover
should be installed outside the coupling arrangement to ensure safety.
5.2.1.6 When adopting rubber cushioned sleeve bearing coupling, align the concentricity
of the air blower drive shaft and motor shaft. The radial displacement should not
over 0.4mm and angle tilting should not exceed 10. the axial clearance of two half
couplings end surface should be between 5 and 10mm.
5.2.1.7 When adopting effective width narrow V belt to transmit, it is required to adjust the
tightness of narrow V belt by giving vertical loading of 57.86~85.32N/piece on
narrow V belt at the central part of l of two points of contact narrow V and belt
wheel when the deflexion is 0.016L. the external end surface of belt wheel of air
blower and motor should be on the same surface and use ruler to align the
tightness of tensioning force.
5.2.2 Assembling Clearance
5.2.2.1 The assembling clearance of blower is of great importance to guarantee its
performance and safety operation. Each blower, before going to the market, is
accurately adjusted about its assembling clearance in factory which should not be
changed in use without permission.
5.2.2.2 Assembling clearance of impeller is as shown in the following table:

of lube oil and grease should meet with band requirements given.
5.2.3.2 Regulatly check the bearing temperature, vibration and sound, oil level, oil
temperature, air inlet and outlet pressure, ammeter reading, and cooling water
condition.
5.2.3.3 Regularly check the belt tightening of the belt-driven unit, check whether the anchor
bolt lossens. If so, immediately tighten them to ensure safety operation.
5.2.3.4 Regularly clean the dust on filter to avoid the blower overloaded or damaged caused
by filter screen being blocked or damaged by absorption.
5.2.3.5 Frequently check whether there is abnormal sound during operation, if partial frication
is found, immediately shut down for inspection and continue operating until the faults
are eliminated.
5.2.4 Maintenance Techniques and Quality Standards
5.2.4.1 Give maintenance after running the device for 4000 hour or do it yearly, carefully
measure the main parts of original device and record the results and mark the
relevant parts during maintenance to make sure the performance of original device
can be recovered as soon as the reassembly is completed.

6.1.2 Maintenance Techniques of Slag Cooler


6.1.2.1 The roller slag cooler should be managed as pressure vessel.
6.1.2.2 Apart form the above-mentioned notes, filling into lube oil should also be noticed
when lube oil of the gearbox for slag cooler is lower than the lowest level in operation
and the brand of oil is as shown in operation instruction.
6.1.2.3 Cooling fan of the gearbox for slag cooler can not experience reverse rotation and
should keep normal running.
6.1.2.4 Regularly fill lube grease into support roller of slag cooler and inject #2 lithium base
grease with special oil gun through the oil holes on support roller.
6.1.2.5 The driving force between slag cooler and gearbox, slag conveyor and gearbox is
delivered by connecting the drive chain wheel and big sprocket. loose chain should
be tensioned properly to avoid decrease in transmission efficiency. When the
88
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

tensioning reaches its maximum and can not continue, cut off a few chains or change
chain. If the chain wheel is seriously worn, replace it with a new one.
6.1.2.6 The axial displacement of slag cooler roller is controlled by block wheel which,
enjoying fast wearing for a much smaller diameter than support ring, is considered to
be consumables and requires to be replaced regularly.
6.1.2.7 Except that the consumables for slag cooler require close patrolling inspection, other
parts do not need to be replaced. But leakage and rust should be inspected to ensure
normal operation.
6.1.3 Chain Bucket Conveyor Maintenance
6.1.3.1 Before starting the chain bucket conveyor, run it for a period of time without load and
feed material until it runs normally. Give feeding evenly and do not increase feeding
suddenly or operate it in overload condition.
6.1.3.2 Unless stated, do not shutdown with load. If shutdown is required, stop feeding and
then unload the materials in the conveyor before shutdown it.
6.1.3.3 When the chain bucket conveyor operates, do not clean and repair the moving parts
nor adjust the tension device.
6.1.3.4 As for the startup of the device that experiences emergency shutdown at full load, first
open the material unloading device of last stage until material is completely unloaded
and then open the devices of other stages one by one. The shutdown order is reverse
to the startup order.
6.1.3.5 If several sets of devices are connected in order. Start the one that unloads material
last when startup and then one by one to the first. The shutdown order is reverse to
the startup order.
6.1.3.6 During operation, do not let steel objects, large hard objects and foreign matter go into
chain bucket conveyor to damage belt or cause other accidents.
6.1.3.7 The operator should regularly observe the operation of chain bucket conveyor and
check whether the connection bolts at connection parts are tight, check the wearing of
middle rail, whether the chains are damaged, drive gears, drive and direction
changing gears experience wearing or not. If serious wearing is found on chain, chain
wheel, rail, chain roller or rail, immediately repair or replace them.
6.1.3.8 The chain bucket conveyor tends to accumulate too much material in the dead angle
of chain bucket conveyor, so they should be removed for they may affect chain bucket
conveyor operation and aggravate chain wearing.
6.1.3.9 Frequently adjust screw type tension device to keep a proper strength of chain. When
adjusting, move the screw bolts at both sides with even speed to keep the axial line of
tail shaft vertical to the central line of conveyor. Keep the surface of adjust screw bolts
clean and apply lube oil on it regularly.
6.1.3.10 Different parts of chain bucket conveyor should be given sufficient lubrication but note
that do not apply lube oil on chain and support rail contacting with it as well as on the
contact surface of carries roller and wheel.
6.1.3.11 Do not give reverse rotation of the chain bucket conveyor. Do not use it to convey dry
material or adhesive material. The open fields that totally enclosed from the outside
should have rain-proof precautions.

6.2.2 Safety Measures for Maintenance


6.2.2.1 Have a warning board noticing PERSONNEL WORK INSIDE NO SWITCHING ON
hanged at an obvious location on the control panel.
6.2.2.2 At least two maintenance personnel are required to enter the ESP interior at the same
time with one person supervising. The maintenance personnel must not only be
familiar with the structure of ESP and functions of different parts, but also have good
understanding of the characteristics of flue gas and dust. They must take adequate
protective measures in case of any potential risk.
6.2.2.3 Whenever conducting high position inspection, maintenance or testing on the housing
or climbing on to the anode or cathode parts, rapping parts, or distribution plates for
maintenance, personnel are required to wear the safety helmets and safety
harnesses with cables or self lockout device.
6.2.2.4 ESP is of high voltage requiring attention to the personal safety. When putting the high
voltage connection parts and insulator chamber near rectification transformer into
operation, personnel should stay within the safety scope.
6.2.2.5 As the ESP is of high temperature, negative pressure and dusty, it is forbidden to
touch the high temperature parts with hands or other body parts during operation. It is
not allowed to conduct work in ESP until the temperature reduces below 40℃ by
opening the manhole for cooling.
6.2.2.6 After shutdown, all personnel should wear safety helmets, protective uniform boots
and gloves with good seal.
6.2.2.7 Stop all the ESP rapping motors and safety switch of electric air lock for ash
conveying and lock them.
6.2.2.8 Disconnect the high voltage isolator of high-voltage silicon rectifier transformer and
93

lock it. Use the earthing device provided to connect the discharge electrode system to
earth.
6.2.2.9 Put the switches of I.D fan and F.D fan of ESP into CLOSE position and lock it.
6.2.2.10 Close the air dampers at inlet and outlet flue gas ducts. Turn off the electric operated
device for air damper and lock it.
6.2.2.11 Open all manholes to give ventilation to electric fields. Enter it only when the
temperature drops to below 40℃. If needing to accelerate temperature reducing,
open the air valve of the outlet flue gas duct and start the I.D fan. At this time,
manhole should be kept in OPEN position to avoid sudden close.
6.2.2.12 Personnel entering the electric field should pay attention to the temperature of
different parts to avoid being scalded.
6.2.2.13 After entering electric fields, check whether there is ash accumulative formation. If so,
try to remove it to avoid accident and check the causes of ash accumulation.
6.2.2.14 After completion, count the tools that are taken to the electric field to prevent it being
left in the electric field, affecting the functions of the field.
6.2.2.15 After completion, take a bath and wash protection clothes to prevent the flue gas
sticking to the clothes from infecting people.
6.2.3 Special Maintenance Items for ESP
6.2.3.1 The following points should be noted when giving first time maintenance to it after the
newly operated ESP shutdowns for the first time. This can help us take measures to
prevent the defects during installation getting worse and further threatening the
normal operation of equipment in the future.
6.2.3.2 The insulator and ceramic shaft installed at the top of ESP may soon have cracks
because of non-operation causes such as installation and equipment quality, so give it
an overall and careful inspection.
6.2.3.3 Check the connections at electrodes in electric fields and the frame structure. If there
are looseness, open weld and flaking off, tighten, spot weld, and reinforce the weld
according to relevant technical requirements.
6.2.3.4 Check whether the expansion of electrodes lower part deforms from resistance.
6.2.3.5 Observe the caging device on the anode electrode and spoiler of ash hopper to see
whether the spoiler suffers from open weld or the guide plate experiences falling off.
6.2.3.6 Check whether the manhole seal and rubber pedestal of rapper are aging and
immediately replace if there is any problem.
6.2.3.7 Other Maintenance Items for ESP
6.2.3.8 Regularly paint those surfaces such as, staircase, platform, rapper casing and other
exposed surfaces being easily worn by rust to prevent it from rusting.
6.2.3.9 Check the oil ring, oil mouth, oil dipstick, and oil pointer are in good condition. Deal
with it if any problem.
6.2.3.9 If the reducer oil deteriorates, or with too high or too low oil level, handle it
immediately to avoid false oil level.
6.2.3.10 Give adjustment test of top and bottom displacement of analyzer regularly (quarterly)

necessary.
5) The whole electrode group is in
good arrangement without clear
concave-convex problem by
visual inspection.
c) Electrode distances detection
The electrode distance is
measured based on relative flat
anode plate in electric field center
section. Measuring parts of
distance can be at inlet and outlet
position of each electrode plate.
Measuring should be conducted
at the top, middle and bottom by
height. Make sure the measuring
should be taken at the same place
during each overhauling and the
data measured and adjusted
should be recorded into
equipment files.
d) Electrode integral adjustments:
1) Same electrode distance
adjustments: when the bending
deformation is severe, hammer
the part where maximum bending
happens by wood hammer or
rubber hammer, and use lighter
force to evenly hit towards both
sides. The knocking point should
be at both sides of plate. It is not
allowed to hammer the working
surface of the operating panel.
When it experiences too severe
deformation to adjust the
electrode distance in permitted
range, replace it.
2) When the electrode plate
experiences severe misalignment
or falling downwards, the distance
between same electrodes
exceeds the prescribed value and
fails to be eliminated at site, or

caver before repairing, and


specific maintenance scheme
should also be provided at the
same time.
3) The newly replaced anode plate
should be measured in
accordance with manufacturer’s
regulations, and the error of plane
and diagonal line after electrodes
arrangement should be in
accordance with the
manufacturer’s requirements.
Lifting should follow the original
arrangement ways. Refer to the
other related chapters for the
replacement of electrodes.
a) Find out the electric field of

4) Check if the screws on frame
beam top is loose or experiences
displacement, and if the two ends
positioning elements on the
insulators are fallen off.
5) Refer to point 2-5 of anode
rapping equipment part.
b) Maintenance of cathode frame
1) Check if the integral flatness error
of cathode frame meets the
requirements, and adjust it if
necessary.
2) Check if the frame is partially
suffering deformation or
unsoldering or cracking. Adjust
and deal with them if necessary.
c) Maintenance of cathode wire
1) Give a thorough check on the
fixed condition of cathode wire to
see whether the cathode wire
experiences falling off, getting
loose, breaking of wire. If so,
ascertain the causes and
eliminate such defects. When the
wire drops to the position beyond
the reach of people, which has
little influence on the frame
structure (such as reduction on
strength and deformation) and
distance between different
electrodes is guaranteed, it is
possible to weld it by electric
welding. It is required to polish the
welding spots and burrs and
remove the wire if welding fails.
Take out the remaining part of
broken wire, ascertain the causes
(for example, mechanism
damage, electric erosion or
rusting) and take proper
measures to resolve the problem.
For loose electrode wires, shake
the frame for any abnormal sound
and observe the swaying, which

101
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

should be considered as as a
preliminary method for such
defect. The electrode wires that
get loose arising from loosening
of nuts should, in principle, be
given spot weld after the nuts are
fastened.
2) Check the performance of various
kinds of cathode wires and record
the results which will be used as
data for overall analysis of the
operation and performance of
equipment. In addition to checking
of cases as loose electrode wire,
falling off, breaking of electrode
wire and ash deposits, more
careful inspection should be given
to the following items: needle line,
inactivation of discharged end,
balling or falling off needle wire
and distance adjusting of both
points.
3) Replacement of cathode wire
Cathode wire of the same model
and specification should be used
and inspection should be
conducted before replacement to
see whether it is in good
condition. Calibrate the wire of
bending so that it meets the
requirements of manufacturer.
d) Test and adjustment of distance
between different electrodes
1) This test should be carried out
after the frame test is completed
and the distance between the
anode plates is adjusted within
the normal range. The distance
between different electrodes that
meets the requirements after
being adjusted should be marked
and the data before and after
adjustment should be recorded
into equipment file.
2) Measuring points distribution

102
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

For easy work, measuring points


are generally arranged on the first
electrode wire at the inlet and
outlet of electric field.
3) Based on the arrangement of
measuring points, personnel
should prepare the forms for
measuring which must include:
electric field name, quantity of
channels, measuring points code,
and number of cathode wire,
personnel for measuring,
measuring time, and measuring
data. Try to choose the same
measuring position for better
analysis and comparison.
4) As required, conduct
maintenance and calibration of
the distance between same
electrodes, frame and electrode
wire of the electric filed.
Theoretically, the distance
between different electrodes can
be controlled within the normal
range, but in fact, it fails to be
brought into the normal range
because of such factors as too
much work, intensive construction
schedule, improper measuring
method or equipment aging, then
partial adjustment should be
made to ensure all the measuring
points of the distance between
different electrodes meet the
requirements. Other parts
between the cathode and anode
electrodes should be given with
visual inspection by experienced
personnel or tested by specially
made T. Small quantity of needle
wires can be adjusted accordingly
by changing the derivation and
the distance between two points.
But this requires strict controlling
of the number of needle wires

103
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

within 2% of the total number,


otherwise, the changing of the
discharged center will make the
needle wire unable to
optimistically cooperate with the
electrode plates, thus weakening
the performance of discharging
wire.

6.5 Air Compressor System Maintenance


6.5.1 Maintenance Requirements for Combined Low-dew
Compressed Air Dryer
Maintenance for combined low-dew compressed air dryer is very necessary. Correct
use and maintenance can make the dryer meet operating requirements and prolong
its service life. The dryer has been tested and control functions are examined before
leaving plant. The dryer, if installed in the clean environment and run within the given
environmental temperature range, will be able to maintain long-term normal running.
The routine maintenance includes following items:
During equipment operation, check to see if the reading of refrigerant low pressure
meter is in normal range. In air system, too low pressure of secondary refrigerant will
lead to frost or ice formation, which will increase pressure loss or damage compressor.
Too high pressure will decrease system refrigerating amount.
6.5.2 Automatic Drainer Maintenance
6.5.2.1 Inspect the drainage condition of automatic drainer everyday, periodically clean
strainer to prevent blockage.
6.5.2.2 For primary operation, use working condition compressed air to wash pipe for 20
minutes, then install the drainer, or the drainer will be blocked.
6.5.3 Electrical Drainer Maintenance
6.5.3.1 When checking compressed air system, you are advised to give several presses on
the manual test button (TEST) on timer to check if the electrical drainer works
normally.
6.5.3.2 When starting or shutting down combined low dew compressed air dryer, conduct
blowdown by opening blowdown valve under adsorption tower. Conduct blowdown in
fixed time two times a day.
6.5.3.3 The only 2-3mm space between adjacent two fins of air-cooled condenser makes the
condenser easy to be blocked by air dust, which may cause poor radiation. The dirty
condenser will increase the condensing pressure of refrigerating system and the
compressor will stop running due to overload. Therefore it is necessary to conduct
periodical cleaning by compressed air spraying or by copper brush or by low pressure
water column spraying added with cleaning agent. And meanwhile, impurities, like dirt
and rust, in condenser should also be cleaned every year according to requirements.
6.5.4 Water Filter Maintenance
The main function of the water filter is to prevent the solid impurities in cooling water
from entering the condenser and further affecting heat exchange. So the filter net
should be periodically washed to avoid high condensate temperature caused by

116
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

inefficient water circulating.


6.5.5 Unit Interior Maintenance
6.5.5.1 During shutdown, periodically carry out vacuum cleaning for internal parts. Pay
attention to protecting refrigerating system from damaging.
6.5.5.2 Keep good ventilations all around the equipment, and prevent equipment from direct
sunlight and all hot sources.
6.5.5.3 Under full load condition, check the pressure loss of air flow passed dryer. If it is
higher than design value (0.035MPa), wash air pipes in reverse following the below
steps: isolate dryer from system, plug all water discharging pipes, then fill water with
cleaning agent to air system, next after being maintained for 4-6 hours, use pump to
fill water from air inlet and discharge from air outlet for circulating washing, finally use
warm water to clean up. If the pressure loss still exits, contact the manufacturer.
6.5.6 Operation and Maintenance of Absorption Dryer
6.5.6.1 Wash the condenser once every 12 months with compressed air or chemical agent.
Suggestion: if the box internal space is too small to conduct cleaning, enlarge it.
6.5.6.2 Wash the automatic blowdown device once a week.
6.5.6.3 The fronted and back filter strainers should be replaced after 10000-12000h operation.
It is advised to perform filter blowdown for 6 times in every 24 hours.
6.5.6.4 Refrigerant suction pressure: normal pressure is in the range of 0.38-0.46MPa. If
pressure is lower than 0.38MPa, turn the returning cool water smaller, adjust
expansion valve and thermal bypass valve bigger clockwise; If pressure is higher than
0.46MPa, turn the returning cool water bigger, adjust the valves on the contrary.
6.5.6.5 Check refrigerant (Freon) amount: if suction pressure gauge indication is higher than
0.9MPa, it means the Freon is sufficient, if pressure is lower than 0.3 MPa, then make
up timely.
6.5.6.6 Check silencer once 6 months, and replace it when necessary.
6.5.6.7 Check pneumatic switching solenoid valve every 12 months.
6.5.6.8 Carry out random inspection on absorbent every 24 hours.
6.5.6.9 If the pressure differential gauge of fronted filter pointed red, it means the strainer is
blocked.
6.5.6.10 When the outlet pressure of filter regulator is not within normal range, it must be
regulated following procedures as below: pull up the button at the top of filter regulator,
increase pressure by turning it clockwise, while decrease pressure by turning it
anti-clockwise, and push the button to lock after reaching required pressure. The filter
of the regulator should be periodically cleaned to ensure air quality.Following the
below methods for cleaning: rotate and pull down the bayonet-type cup at the bottom
of regulator, and use neutral cleaning solution to wash strainer and cup. The filter
regulator adapts automatic water drainage mode, the water drain pipe should be
installed in proper position.
6.5.6.11 When the regenerative air flow is too high or too low, the regenerative air governor
valve should be adjusted, which is usually located at device top. rotate it one or two
rounds each time to adjust. After dryer is operated for one or two periods, conduct
adjustment according to actual situation.
6.5.6.12 During dryer regeneration, the pressure in regenerative drying tower should not
exceed 0.02MPa, otherwise, it will be deemed that the silencer is blocked if the valve

117
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

are in good condition. Then remove the silencer and clean up obstructions. Replace
those silencers that can not be cleaned up.
6.5.6.13 After a period of operation, the drying bed layer may sink slightly, so it is necessary to
check and make up or replace the desiccant timely, as required. Before filling the
desiccant, it should be screened: remove dust and select even particles.
6.5.6.14 Periodically inspect working conditions and seal states of all valves.
6.5.6.15 Periodically check to see if all electrical parts are with good contact, and frequently
clean the inside and outside dust of electric box.

6.6 Maintenance for Double Color Water Level


6.6.1 Maintenance and Precautions for Water Level
6.6.1.1 The red and green glass of this level is arranged on one same glass frame with the
green inside and red outside. Do not install them reversely, or it will lead to wrong
judgment for water level with the steam indicated in green and water in red.
6.6.1.2 Mica seal components of water level must be periodically replaced and even have to
be replaced once for half year under normal indication condition, to prevent explosion
caused by leakage. Under special situation, if mica experiences severe scaling which
can not be cleaned, the mica seal also have to be replaced immediately. Meantime,
thoroughly clean the light source box, clean cold light lamb, red and green glass, so
as to ensure clarity and good transmittance.
6.6.1.3 Precautions for replacement of mica seal of water level
a) Close primary valve and secondary valve of water level and open drain valve.
Remove water level,and horizontally place it on working table or platform for
maintenance after cooling down in case of stud thread biting and break due to hot
expansion rate of level, stud and nut. Before disassembling nut and stud, first
spray loose liquid for full permeation. During disassembly, first make it vibrate
118
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

repeatedly with outer force, and then loosen them gradually with more strength,
last, remove the nut. Do not remove by lengthening the sleeve or applying
excessive force at one time, which will lead to stud thread biting and break. Mark
all cover plates after they are removed for convenience of reinstallation.
b) When cleaning seal surface, pay attention not to scratching seal surface. seal
surface should be free from pit and groove trace, otherwise, it must be repaired
and processed.
c) Gland studs should be bright and clean without burr and disordered installations.
If there is elongation or deformation, replace them. If two of four studs on gland
are damaged, replace all studs. If the stud is broken, use driller to take it out
without damaging hole and thread. If nuts are wrongly installed with irregular
hexagon and uneven surface, replace them.
d) The sight glass, asbestos pad and terminal protection belt must be installed on
gland following regulated sequence. Strictly control sight glass prominence in
relative to gland seal surface. The prominent length must be in the range of
0.14mm—0.18mm. If it is longer than 0.18 mm, use file and sand cloth to adjust
asbestos pad thickness. Only when they are acceptable, can the seal ability and
service life be ensured.
e) The asbestos pad should be complete without fold and rip, and mica corner is
neat without peeling, crack and fold. Note: the seal components can only be used
once.
f) Install mica seal components according to top, bottom sequence. (The medium
contact side is at bottom.)
g) Reinstall gland based on marks made during disassembly. First manually tighten
nut, then diagonally fix nut with even force. Conduct four times tightening with
90N.m, 120N.m, 150N.m, 180N.m torque wrenches respectively. At last, tighten
all nuts again with 80N.m torque wrench by one operator, so as to ensure even
tightening force. The tightening sequence is diagonal tightening.
6.6.1.4 After one minor repair (one year) or disassembly of nut for 3-5 times, timely replace
new stud and nut to improve seal performance of water level and decrease
maintenance during normal operation.
6.6.1.5 Under normal condition, if the water level has been used for 4 years, it should be
replaced timely.

6.7 Maintenance for Boiler Wear-Resistance, Fire-Proof


and Insulating Materials
6.7.1 Refractory Inspection
6.7.1.1 Check the refractory to be free from falling off, looseness and serious cracks.
6.7.1.2 Check the forcers to be free from falling off and oxidation.
6.7.2 Refractory Construction
6.7.2.1 Clean the parts that need repairing and remove loose parts before refractory
construction.
6.7.2.2 The fixed forcers should be installed as the size and material given in the drawing.
6.7.2.3 The float coat should be smooth, with neat edges. Its flatness should not be more
than 3mm/m and the surface should be free from cracks in cold condition.
6.7.2.4 Directions for Mixing Refractory
a) The mixing of refractory is a very important step. It should be mixed by powerful
paddle mixer. Four bags of aggregate and one bag of bonding agent are
considered as one site mixing unit which should be filled with water about
50-55kg for each unit.
b) Before filling water, give dry mixing of materials for 30 seconds to eliminate the
particle segregation. The amount of water injected is of great importance for too
much water will prolong the coagulation process and reduce the mechanical
strength of the refractory and insufficient water will make it impossible to conduct
manual trowelling, resulting in low mechanical strength. Therefore, the water
required should be controlled within a certain range depending on the refractory
temperature which is in proportion to the water injected.
c) Conduct dry mixing of the materials for 30 seconds every time, then slowly fill
construction water to the mixture and measure it with a container with scale. Mix
121
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

it for about 5-8 minutes. Excessive mixing will cause mixture overheat, shorten
the coagulation time, form quick setting cement, reduce construction strength
and heat insulation effect.
d) Note: the amount of mixing material should not exceed the amount that can be
used up within 40 minutes since water filling.
6.7.3 Refractory Removing
6.6.3.1 Special tools should be used to remove the refractory (such as hammer, chisel and air
pick)
6.6.3.2 Even force should be given during the disassembling, to avoid damage to pipes at
heating surface.
6.7.4 Preparations for Anti-wear and Heat Insulation Brick
6.7.4.1 Prepare the refractory and heat insulating material for the parts repaired for resume
according to manufacturer’s drawing.
6.7.4.2 The size and integrity of insulating brick should meet the relevant requirements in the
drawing.
6.7.5 Refractory Agitating
6.7.5.1 Use the specialized electrical agitating device to stir wear-resistant and heat
insulation mud.
6.7.5.2 The required mixing material must be calculated at each time in case of excessive.
6.7.5.3 The proportion of refractory adhesion should be prepared based on manufacturer
requirements.
6.7.6 Installation of Anti-wear and Heat Insulation Brick
6.7.6.1 The brick construction is performed based on manufacturer’s requirements.
6.7.6.2 Use trowel to smear the brick connection surface according to requirements.
6.7.7 Maintenance for Pipe Insulation
6.7.6.1 When medium temperature is lower than 450 ℃ , welding supporting part and
tightening supporting ring should be selected as support.
6.7.6.2 When support is not allowed to be welded directly on equipment or pipe, the
tightening ring should be used.
6.7.6.3 When support is directly welded on stainless steel pipe, stainless steel pad is
required.
6.7.6.4 Supporting surface width should be 10mm less than heat insulation layer. The space
between adjacent supports should be 1.5-2m.
6.7.8 Heat Insulation Maintenance for Furnace Outer Wall
6.7.8.1 Heat insulation layer and soft heat insulation material should be fixed by dowel and
self-locking tightening plate.
6.7.8.2 The dowel for heat insulation should made of carbon round steel.
6.7.8.3 Based on its physical dimension, the hook nail and dowel, installed in slit, should be
used as stake to fix heat insulation layer during heat insulation with insulation device.
During heat insulation with soft material, the space between adjacent dowels should
not exceed 350mm and the number of dowel not less than six per square meter at
side wall and eight at bottom wall.
6.7.8.4 When wall thickness is less than 4mm, conduct hook nail welding and fixation before
device leakage test.
122
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

6.7.8.5 Carry out heat insulation layer installation from bottom to top, beginning with
supporting plate. The material thickness should meet design requirements and the
packing between slits should be sealed tightly. Each heat insulation material should
be bundled with at least two 14# galvanized iron wires, with well-proportioned space
and consistent tightness. The material consists of two or more layers should be
bundled layer by layer with same layer staggering each other and adjacent layer
having break joints. If there is hole, use small particles to stuff.
6.7.8.6 If there is no heat insulation supporting ring and welding is not allowed on site,
demountable ring can be fabricated.
6.7.8.7 When installing galvanized iron nets, two nets, which should be fastened firmly and
reliably to hook nails, should be welded by butt joint and firmly contacted against heat
insulation layer.
6.7.8.8 With construction completion, there should be free from broken iron end exposed on
iron net surface, bulging and empty layer. The iron net usually adopts open lap
galvanized iron net with 1.6mm diameter and 20mm×20mm net hole.

6.8 Boiler Maintenance


6.8.1 Boiler Maintenance in Normal Operation
6.8.1.1 Periodically check if following components have leakage: water level indicators,
valves, pipelines, flanges and so on.
6.8.1.2 Keep burner clean and governing system flexible.
6.8.1.3 Periodically remove water scaling inside boiler and flush with clean water.
6.8.1.4 Check inside and outside of boiler, if any serious corrosion is detected in pressurized
welding clearance and inside and outside of steel board, repair immediately; if the
defect is not severe, it can be repaired in next shutdown period. When suspicious
defects are found but won’t affect safety operation, just record them for reference in
future.
6.8.1.5 Outside shell and insulation layer can be removed for convenient inspection if
necessary. If some parts are severely damaged, do not use until they are repaired. At
the same time, record inspection and repair condition in boiler safety technical book.
6.8.2 Boiler Maintenance During Long-term Outage
Two maintenance methods: dry maintenance and wet maintenance. The first is used
when outage time is more than one month, while the second is is used when outage
time is less than one month.
6.8.2.1 Dry maintenance
After boiler is shut down, discharge water and remove inside dirty and scaling, then
flush with clean water. Next, dry the cleaning part with cooling air (compressed air).
Distribute quick lime with diameter of 10-30mm on different plates and put them into
boiler drum (make sure the quick lime has no contact with metal). The weight of lime
is calculated based on 8kg/m3 .in boiler drum. Close all manholes, handholes and
valves on pipeline and carry out inspection in every three months. If the lime becomes
powerdery lime, replace immediately. And the lime and plate should be taken out
when boiler is started again.
6.8.2.2 Wet maintenance
After boiler is shut down, discharge water and remove inside dirty and scaling, then
123
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

flush with clean water. Refill water to the drum till it is full, and heat the water to 100℃
to exhaust air in the drum, then close all valves. Wet maintenance cannot be used in
the cold place to prevent boiler damage due to water freezing.

b) Remove and disassemble the transmission device.
c) Remove stuffing gland and clean padding.
d) Remove valve cover and clean padding.
e) Take out valve rod, remove valve head and take care of it.
7.2.1.2 Seal surface maintenance
a) Seal surfaces of valve head and seat are easy to be corroded and damaged. If pit
depth is shorter than 0.5mm, eliminate by griding. If the depth is above 0.5mm,
lathe first before grinding.
b) For valve connected by welding, it can only be grinded on site. In special
condition, disconnect lathe and then grind.
c) If the sealing surface has severe damage, repair in the manner of overlaying
welding. Depending on different seal surface material, the welding bar can adopt
‘overlaying welding 547’ alloy electrode or cobalt-base alloy electrode.
7.2.1.3 Valve body and seat maintenance
a) If the valve body has crack or sand hole, use mechanical method to eliminate and
then carry out repair welding.
b) If the valve seat welding has crack, conduct repair welding. Check valve stem
and measure it if necessary. If the bent is excessive, calibrate or replace it.
7.2.1.4 Packing and pad maintenance
a) During major and minor overhaul, the valve packing should usually be replaced.
Choose different packing based on valve type and specifications.
b) If the teeth of metal teeth-type pad experience deformation and poor seal,
replace the pad. Copper pad can be used for several times after washing and
anneal. Asbestos cushion should be replaced. During installation, the connection
surface and pad should be cleaned and smoothed with lead powder applied.
7.2.1.5 Valve maintenance precautions
a) Valve stem bent is less than 0.1-0.25mm, ovality is less than 0.2-0.25mm, and
rusting pit depth is less than 0.1-0.2mm.
b) Clearance between stuffing gland and stuffing box should be 15-20mm for
retightening, and valve stem clearance should be 0.1-0.2mm.
c) Stuffing ring interface angle is 45º and should be placed in stagger way with
angle of 180º. The black lead powder should be used.
d) After installation, conduct hydrostatic test for valve and proper supporting heating
surface.
7.2.1.6 Notices of self-seal valve maintenance
a) During disassembly, first remove the transmission device and its support, then
remove gland (use wheel puller if necessary). Take out the split ring from valve
circumferential hole with special tool, and at last take out valve cover and valve
stem.
b) The dimension and shape of expansion ring should meet diagram requirements.
The ring should be complete without damage, especially the sharp corner, or it

will be difficult to be installed.


7.2.2 Relief Valve Maintenance
7.2.2.1 Precautions for valve maintenance
a) Relief valve adjustment should be conducted under the guidance of the
manufacturer. Personnel at site should work together under unite command. All
personnel for relief valve adjustment should carry out the safety technical
disclosure and make a sign.
b) Constructions are not allowed before the relief valve adjustment. Stability of each
fixed point must be confirmed before adjustment.
c) When adjusting steam pressure, the adjustment of combustion rate is considered
as rough adjustment and the adjustment of HP and IP bypasses is considered as
fine adjustment. Increase pressure slowly when it is close to relief valve
popping-up value.
d) Workers who set and operate relief valve must wear protective devices (to
prevent scald, noise, falling from high place etc.). Do not set the relief valves
when it is close to popping-up value.
e) When relief valve pops up and reseats, supervise water level of steam drum and
adjust the amount of feedwater timely to prevent high level or low level.
f) When leakage occurs during test running, isolate the area and hang warning
signs to prevent injury.
7.2.2.2 Set Procedures for Relief Valve
a) Set relief valves one by one from HP side to IP side.
b) During setting, pay attention to the change of steam pressure.
c) When steam pressure is up to about 80% of setting pressure, open relief valve
manually for purging. Conduct purging to each valve for about 5 minutes. Check
the discharging pipes of relief valves and the expansion, as well as installation
quality of other parts.
d) When steam pressure reaches about 85% of setting pressure, lower the screws
on the top of relief valves (which are not under commissioning) to make it
pressed against valve stem. Press the stem slightly so as not to bend the hot
valve disc and stem.
e) Manual opening devices must be assembled so as to exhaust steam during trial
test if necessary.
f) After purging, if the valve experiences leakage, it is possibly because there are
foreign matter accumulates on the sealing ring or the lower governing ring prop
against the disc. In this condition, decrease the steam pressure to 85% of setting
pressure and manually open valve for purging. If this does not work, leakage can
be stopped by manually rotating the governing stem clockwise, and lowering the
governing ring. If the leakage still exists, purge again. and fail again, disassemble
for maintenance.
g) Continue to increase pressure until the pressure is up to setting value, then relief
valve will pop up and at the same time achieve full travel. After discharging steam,
the pressure declines to make the valve reseat. If popping-up meets operation
requirements, hold down stem softly on the top of stem with screw and then
conduct commissioning to all relief valves orderly. After commissioning, reduce

127
Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

steam pressure to 80% of setting value, and restore all screw to their original
places, which are locked by self-provided lock. Adjust the the lead sealing of
stem up or lower and them put them into operation.
h) Whenever steam pressure is below 75% of setting pressure, do not lower the
screw but loosen the cover in reverse direction to keep hot disc from being
damaged by excessive pressing force.
i) Compare the result of commissioning with setting pressure on nameplate. If valve
pops up in advance, tighten the screw slightly clockwise. If valve does not pop up
at setting pressure, unscrew it slightly counter-clockwise to make it pop up.
j) If the relief valve fails to pop up when there is steam leakage under set pressure,
turn the adjusting rod counter-clockwise to make it pop up. Usually, adjust it for
semi-circle and a whole circle is the maximum. Regulate the adjusting ring for two
teeth while turning the adjusting rod for one turn.
k) When the blowdown pressure of relief valve is small or the valve pops up, adjust
the stem clock-wise to make the lower adjusting ring move downward. Do not
adjust it for more than 2 turns. If it failed, turn the upper adjusting lever to lower
the upper adjusting ring. In this way, the blowdown pressure will be increased so
that valve pop-up can be solved.
l) If the blowdown pressure of relief valve is big, turn the upper adjusting lever to
make the upper adjusting ring rise to reduce the blowdown pressure.
m) Adjust upper adjusting ring to regulate the blowdown pressure. It is best for us to
reduce the blowdown pressure under the condition of full travel. Usually, the
proper blowdown pressure can be obtained by lowering the upper adjusting ring.
Only when the proper blowdown pressure fails to be reached by regulating the
upper adjusting ring, can the adjusting sleeve be regulated. Turn the adjusting
sleeve clockwise to increase the back pressure of valve disc and reduce the
blowdown pressure. Do not regulate the upper adjusting lever for more than 5
turns each time. Regulate the adjusting sleeve within 1/4 turn.
n) A relief valve may pop up frequently while releasing gas or when it is ready to
close valve. Both of the two phenomena are caused by small blowdown pressure.
Do not reduce the pressure when it meets the requirements of operation. When it
pops up frequently along with gas releasing, solve it by lifting the position of
adjusting sleeve or lowering the upper adjusting ring which can increase
blowdown pressure. If it pops up frequently because the valve is ready to be
closed, lower the low adjusting ring.
o) If there is slight leakage after disc reseats, purge manually to remove the foreign
matter. If the leakage still exists, lower the pressing screws to pin against the
stem and even the disc temperature to stop leakage. If failed again, grind sealing
surface.
p) It is not necessary to adjust small error between popping pressures and reseat
pressure. Try to reduce times of adjustment. Adjust in every half an hour when
the temperature of all the parts drops to a stable value. .
q) When setting relief valves, take records of the following items timely: pressure,
temperature and expansion of boiler, water level of steam drum, popping
pressure, reseat pressure and time etc.
r) Sign witness report after the settings of all relief valves meet the requirements.

Maintenance Manual Vol.1–6A Boiler Maintenance Manual

8.5 Hot Work Permit Classifications


Level 1 hot work area: It means places where fire will probably happen and will cause
severe result, such as fuel oil bunker (cylinder), fuel oil pump and fuel oil system,
transformer, cable room, channel, oil port, chlorine station, hydrogen system, turbine
oil system, battery room, control room, dispatching room, flammable & explosive
material storage area and other areas and sites confirmed as level 1 hot work area by
power generating enterprises.
Level 2 hot work areas: when hot work needs to be carried out, use level 2 hot work
permit and the valid duration is 7 days.
When the hot work belonged to level 2 hot work classification is performed initially,
personnel for approving and issuing hot work permit from all departments should go to
the site to check whether firefighting measures are correctly done, flammable gas
content or dust concentration of flammable gas and flammable fluid is acceptable or
not. Also carry out flame test with the under supervision, make sure there is no
problem, and then perform the hot work.
When performing level 2 hot work, designated personnel should supervise on site
through the whole process. Before next day’s hot work, recheck the firefighting safety
measures, and check to make sure combustible gas content or dust concentration of
combustible gas and flammable fluid is acceptable then start the work.
Apart from the level 1 hot work area, all key fire-fighting areas and places where open
flame is forbidden are level 2 hot work areas.
When hot work needs to be carried out in level 1 area, level 1 hot work permit is a
necessity.
The valid duration of level 1 hot work permit is 48 hours. During level 1 hot work
process, test the flammable gas and dust concentration every 2-4 hours (if the hot
work interval exceeds 4 hours, carry out the test every time before hot work start). If
abnormal symptom appears, stop the work immediately. Don't start the hot work until
causes are found or faults are eliminated. The test result for the first time should be
filled on the permit and the results tested later should be attached in work permit. The
format should be the same.
Thermal mechanical work permit: When carrying out maintenance or installation on
site, in order to guarantee safety working conditions and operation, all departments of
power plant should strictly obey the work permit regulation to avoid accidents.
For the whole unit maintenance, apart from responsible person of every shift, one
leader of relative field should be designated for all maintenance work. The thermal
mechanical work permit must be signed by field director or vice director, or the work
permit can be proposed by field director and then signed by personnel designated by
plant leaders. Work permit signed by other personnel is considered to be invalid.
Only after getting shift leader’s permission and operator has taken effective protection
measures, can maintenance operator start work.

8.6 Safety Responsibilities of Permit Issuing Person

Personnel still fail to have a clear understanding of the principles, functions, aims and
range of work permit; perform work without work permit, unfamiliar with work permit
regulations and unable to understand management standards,;fail to implement it
seriously..
Work permit content is not input properly; without clear work tasks and complete
safety measures. Thus the acceptable rate of work permit is low.
Responsible person fails to perform his duty while responsible person and permitting
person fail to confirm safety measures on site. The on site acceptance after work
permit is finished becomes mere formality.
Work permit calculation and analyzing is not up to standards and the safety
supervision personnel fail to perform their duties.

8.12 Safety Rules for Personnel on Site


When working, do not damage the overall equipment. Protect it well.
Wear safety helmet properly before entering the construction site.
