CFBC BOILER INTRODUCTION:
In a circulating fluidized-bed boiler, a portion of combustion air is
introduced through the bottom of the bed. The bed material normally
consists of fuel, limestone and ash. The bottom of the bed is supported
by water-cooled membrane walls with specially designed air nozzles
which distribute the air uniformly. The fuel and limestone (for sulfur
capture) are fed into the lower bed. In the presence of fluidizing air,
the fuel and limestone quickly and uniformly mix under the turbulent
environment and behave like a fluid. Carbon particles in the fuel are
exposed to the combustion air. The balance of combustion air is
introduced at the top of the lower, dense bed. This staged combustion
limits the formation of nitrogen oxides (NO). The bed fluidizing air

velocity is greater than the terminal velocity of most of the particles in
the bed and thus fluidizing air elutriates the particles through the
combustion chamber to the cyclone separators at the furnace exit. The
captured solids, including any unburned carbon and unutilized
calcium oxide (CaO), are re injected directly back into the combustion
chamber without passing through an external recirculation. This
internal solids circulation provides longer residence time for fuel and
limestone, resulting in good combustion and improved sulfur capture.

.
ADVANTAGES OF CFBC BOILER:
1. High Efficiency
2. Reduction in Boiler Size
3. Fuel Flexibility: Fuels like washer rejects, agro waste can be burnt efficiently, Boilers
can fire coals with ash content as high as 62% and having calorific value as low as 2,500
kcal/kg.
4. Pollution Control:SO2 formation can be greatly minimized by addition of limestone
or dolomite for high sulphur coals. Eliminates NOx formation.
5. Low Corrosion and Erosion: are less due to lower combustion temperature,
softness of ash and low particle velocity (of the order of 1 m/sec).
6. No Clinker Formation: Temperature of the furnace is in the range of 750–900o C.
7. No Slagging in the Furnace-No Soot Blowing: volatilization of alkali components
in ash does not take place and the ash is non stocky.

BOILER DRUM
Drum is mounting equipment of boiler, the main function of the steam drum
is to separate the saturated steam and water by density difference.
The steam drum is made of material SA-299GrA, inner diameter is φ1600mm,
wall thickness is 120mm, drum length is 17750mm, and two ends use
spherical head.

Drum Internals:
Cyclone separator: The cyclone can remove the steam-
water mixture entering with high speed to keep water level
balance and to make primary separation for steam-water
mixture. The separated steam flow up-ward along the middle
part of cyclone, and the separated water flow down ward.
Corrugated plate separator: On the upper part of each
cyclone separator, there install a vertical corrugated plate
separator which further separate the water from steam by
equalizing the cyclone steam ascend velocity and working of
centrifugal force.
Orifice plate: The saturated steam separated by cyclone
pass through orifice plate and get washed by 50% feed water
from economizer, so that to reduce the steam salinity and
improve the steam quality.
Steam uniform distribution orifice plate: Depended on
the throating action of the multi-orifice plate, it can
uniformly distribute the steam to avoid steam excessive
centralization at some parts, it can also can stop the little
water drops.

Blow Down Pipe: Continuous blow down (CBD) pipe is located at
the upper part of the boiler water space, it drain out the water
containing highest salinity to keep the salinity of water with in
allowed range.
Dosing Pipe: The phosphate will be added through dosing pipe,
to keep the alkalinity of boiler water within allowed range.
Emergency Blow down Pipe: If the water level exceeds the
highest allowed level which caused by unmatched between boiler
feed water increasing and evaporation, it shall drain out the
water to normal level via EBD.

HP VALVES:
The common types of conventional HP valves used in the power plan are:
Gate valves
Globe valves
Check valves
Butterfly valves
ball valves
plug valves
The salient features and recommendations for usage of the above-mentioned
main valves are below:
Gate valves: These valves are the simplest in design & operation and most
widely used. These types of valves operate with minimum turbulence within the
valve and has a very low-pressure drop. Gate valves are normally used for
throttling service.

Globe valves: Globe valves are normally used where the operation is frequent
and/or primarily in the throttling service to control flow to any desired degree.
Since the valve seat is parallel to the line of flow , globe valves are recommended
where resistance to flow and pressure drop are permitted because of design of
the valve body is such that it changes the direction of flow causing turbulence and
pressure drop within the valve. Globe valves have the highest-pressure drop of
any of the more commonly used valve

Check valves: These valves are designed to prevent reverse flow (which allows flow
only one direction) in a piping system. Swing check valves are commonly used in piping
system. These valves allow unobstructed flow, opening with line flow and closing
automatically with the decries in pressure. The check valve with a hinged arm and disc
which swings like a door. The hinge pin can be mounted either internally or externally.

SAFETY VALVES :
1. Introduction:
A valve which automatically, without the assistance of any energy other
than that of the fluid concerned, discharges a quantity of the fluid so as
to prevent a predetermined safe pressure being exceeded, and which is
designed to re-close and prevent further flow of fluid after normal
pressure conditions of service have been restored.
Safety valves should be installed wherever the maximum allowable
working pressure (MAWP) of a system or pressure-containing vessel is
likely to be exceeded. In steam systems, safety valves are typically used
for boiler overpressure protection and other applications such as
downstream of pressure reducing controls. Although their primary role is
for safety, safety valves are also used in process operations to prevent
product damage due to excess pressure.

1.Safety Valve Components:
Safety Valve Components:

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Set Pressure:
This is the pressure at which the valve begins to lift from the valve
seat, otherwise known as the simmer point since the sound of
escaping steam is quite audible.
This pressure is set sufficiently above the normal working pressure
of the boiler in order to avoid unnecessary simmering such as might
be induced by normal fluctuations in steam pressure when on load.
Closing Pressure:
Closing pressure is the pressure at which the valve reseats.
Blowdown
The blowdown is the difference between the set pressure and the
closing pressure expressed as a percentage of the set pressure e.g.
Blowdown % = Set pressure-Closing pressure x100
Set pressure

SAFETY VALVES SETTING:
This operation involves increasing and decreasing heat input to the
boiler, to raise and lower the steam pressure. The set pressure and
closing pressure of each valve is checked and adjust in turn from the
highest-pressure valve first to the lowest pressure last.
There are two stages of safety valves floating in our regular practice:
a). Drum & M.S Safety valves floating.
b). CRH & HRH Safety valves floating.
Drum & M.S Safety valves floating Procedure:
1. For testing of drum left side safety valve ensure the following
a) EMRV & Start up vents valves are in healthy operation condition.
b) Keep open the M.S start-up vent valves by 5% at all the time, till
the completion of safety valve floating activity.
2. Boiler Lighted Up, Gradually Increase firing rate through Burners and
at the same time, by regulating HP & LP bypass system and raise the
boiler pressure.

2. Gag the drum left side, M.S safety valves at 85% of respective
valves set pressures.
3. Raise the system pressure to 174.5 KG/CM2 by increasing firing
in boiler.
4. If it float’s before set pressure, reduce firing rate, then by reduce
pressure 15% less to the popping pressure.
5. Tighten check nut, it gives more load on spring, thereby on stem.
6. Set the valve popping pressure by adjusting load on stem @ 174.5
KG/CM2.
7. Next set the blowdown %.
8. Note down the popping pressure and reset pressure.
9. If it reaches within 4-7% blowdown, it is ok.
10.If blowdown % less than 4%, adjust guide ring, lower the ring to
down by adjusting the screw to clock wise direction.
11.If blowdown % more than 7% adjust guide ring to up-ward
direction by adjusting the screw to anti-clock wise direction.
2. If it is not coming around 4-7% with number of trails, then try
with nozzle ring.
a) Raising the nozzle ring will increases blowdown.
b) Lowering the nozzle ring will decreases blowdown.

2. After completing the pressure setting of all valves, all the gags of
the safety valve are removed and kept safely for any future use.
3. The other safety valves in M.S Header & Drum safety valves floated
on similar lines as explained above.

AIR PRE -HEATER
HEATING SURFACE AREA : 27856 sq. m
SIZE OF TUBE : Dia 51 X 3 mm
PURPOSE
 Air preheater is an auxiliaryequipment for steam
generators.
 It is a heat exchangerthat absorbs waste heat from exit flue
gas in boiler and transfers the heat to the coldair to achieve
maximum boiler thermalefficiency
LOCATION OF APH
 Located in 2 nd pass of boiler after economizerin the flue
gas path
 It is the last heat recovery equipment in the boiler

AIR PRE-HEATER
BASIC FUNCTION OF APH
An air pre-heaterheats the combustion air where it is economically
feasible.
The pre-heating helps the following.
1. Igniting the fuel.
2. Improving the combustion.
3. Drying the pulverizedcoalin pulverizer
4. Reducing the stack gas temperature and increasing the boiler
efficiency.
5. In utility and processboilers APH is usedto heat the air
requiredfor combustion purpose and to dry and transport the
coal

AIR PRE -HEATER
TYPES OF APH
Classification of APH according to operating principle. These may be
arranged so the gas flows horizontally or vertically across the axis of
rotation
1. Recuperative Heaters
Tubular Air Pre-Heaters
Plate Air Pre-Heaters
2. Regenerative Heaters

AIR PRE-HEATER
Recuperative Heaters operating principle
 Transfers the heat across flow direction through the separating partition of
either plates or tubes with the cold sidecontinuously recuperating
(absorbing) the heat conducted from the hot side
 Separating surfaces may be composed of steel tubeor plates.
 Mixing of air and flue gas is not possible during normal operation except in
case of leakage of tubes
Regenerative Heaters operating principle
 It is the indirect heating type APH. Rotating heavystructure
servesas an intermediate heat storagesurface.
 Cold surface convertedinto heatedsurface when exposedin
the passage of hot flue gas. This heated surfaceis then
brought in contact with coldair to give the heat.
 Heat energyis again regeneratedin the structure.

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Tubular preheaters consist of straight tube bundles which
are kept in the boilerflue gas path. The hot furnace gas passes
around the air preheatertubes, transferring heat from the exhaust
gas to the air inside the preheater.
Ambient air is forcedby a fan throughducting at one end
of the preheater tubes and at otherend the heatedair from inside
of the tubes emerges into another set of ducting, whichcarries it
to the boiler furnace for combustion.

AIR PRE-HEATER
APH OPERATING PARAMETERS

AIR PRE-HEATER
Tubular Air Pre-Heaters
 It consist of a series of long horizontal straight tubes of 52 mm
diameter and 2 mm thick weldedinto the tube
plates(perforated) at the bothends and enclosing casing
providedwith inlet & outletopeningsfor cold and hot air.
 Cold air is flowing inside the tubes and flue gas is flowing over
the tubes and passing heat to the cold air
 In betweenthe inner joining ducts, baffle platesare providedto
the directair over the entire surface of the tubes in cross-flow
direction.

AIR PRE-HEATER
Advantages of Tubular Air Pre-Heaters
 It is also quite suitable for High pressure air sides also , as in case of
rotary type only suitable for low pressures.
 Maintenance involved is less and easy as absence of moving parts.
Hence maintenance cost is reduced.
 Tubular Air Pre-Heaters having long life thanregenerative type.
 Lowinitial cost.
 No auxiliary consumption as absence of moving parts
 Easily can attend in trouble shootings.
 No possibility of fly ash carry over by the heated primary and
secondary air
 It occupies low space compared with regenerative type. Regenerative

BOILER FANS
INTRODUCTION
 The main purpose of the fans in the Boiler is supply
AIR to complete the combustion of fuel and to
maintain the DRAUGHT in the furnace.
TYPES
 There are two primary types of FANS
 Centrifugal fans
 Axial fans.

Working principle
 Centrifugal Fans are most commonly type
of used in Boilers. Centrifugal fan use a
rotating impeller to increase the velocity
of fan air stream. As the air moves from
impeller hub to fan blade, it gains the
kinetic energy. This kinetic energy then
converted to static pressure increase as
the air slows before entering in to the
discharge.

Types of centrifugal fans
 Centrifugal fans are capable of generating high volume of air
with higher effeciencies.Centrifugal fans have several types of
blade types.
 Forward curved type
 Radial Blade type
 Backward inclined type
 Backward curved type
 Backward curved airfoil type

 Actuator Wiring completion and connections to DCS.

FAN SIDE
 During the first run of the fan check the oil levels in bearing
housings.
 Ensure all cooling water circulation lines are in open position.
 Before starting the fan check and clean the scrap material
inside the impeller casing.
 During the first run, the installation shall be checked for any
sign of undue vibration and if this is present the fan shall
stopped immediately and the cause investigated.

 Check the Inspection doors and casing joints are fully bolted
up or not.
 Check that the bearing housings are filled to the correct level
with recommended oil.
 Check the proper operation of inlet and discharge dampers
and actuator operation too.
 Ensure “Alarm” and “Trip” signals are properly set

MAINTENANCE OF THE FAN
Daily maintenance.
 For smooth and safe running of the fans it is very important to
observe and check the fallowing.
 Visual inspection of all oil lines and oil level gauges for finding
the leakages if found any leak immediate action to be taken.
 Check the bearing temperatures for fan and motor side DE and
NDE Bearing temperatures. (As per instruction manual normal
running temp of Bearing is 70 0 c Alarm at 80 0 c Trip at 90 0 c).
 Using vibration meter check vibration levels of Fan, Voith and
motor.

Common terminology used for
machinery vibration
 VELOCITY = Velocity of vibration is measured in
peak units such as millimeters per second (mm/s).
Another way of looking at velocity is distance per
time or how much is the machine moving every
second in three important directions at all main
bearing points (AXIAL, VERTICAL, And
HORIZONTAL).
 Velocity measurements and monitoring of
vibration is the most common unit to identify
various problems or acceptability such as:
 unbalance,
 misalignment,

 looseness (machinery structural, foundations, or
bearings),
 Harmonics and many other issues in the machinery
frequency range and many multiples of actual speed.
 EXCELLENT LEVELS = 2.5 mm/s or less at any speed. No
action required.
GOOD LEVELS = 5.0 mm/s or less at any speed. No action
required.
FAIR LEVELS = 7.5 mm/s or less at any speed. No action
required.
ROUGH LEVELS = 10 mm/s or higher at any speed. (Take
action soon.)
VERY ROUGH LEVELS = 15 mm/s or higher at any speed.
(Take action now.)
DANGER LEVELS = 20 mm/s or higher at any speed.
(Shutdown and Fix.)

 DISPLACEMENT = Displacement is measured in peak to
peak units of millimeters or microns ( 1 mm = 1000
microns ) Displacement measurements are recorded in
the same three directions as velocity = axial, horizontal
and vertical.
 EXCELLENT LEVELS = 20 microns or less at any speed. No
action required.
GOOD LEVELS = 50 micron or less at any speed. No
action required.
FAIR LEVELS = 75 microns or less at any speed. No action
required.
DANGER LEVELS = 150 microns higher at any speed.
(Shutdown and Fix.)
 Observe the sound levels of machinery if found any
abnormality check all the above.
 Routine recording in accordance with check sheets.

Every 600 running hours of operation or monthly
 Lubrication
 The frequency at which the oil must be changed is
mainly dependent on the operating conditions and on
the quality of oil used.
 Where oil bath lubrication is employed it is normally
sufficient to change the oil once a year, provided the
bearing temperature does not exceed 50 0 c and there
is no contamination.
 High temperature or more abnormal running conditions
necessitate more frequent change, example; at a
temperature of 100 0 c the oil should be changed every
3 months
 Recommended lubricant for fan bearings ISO VG
46.(present we are using servo system 100 oil for fan
bearing lubrication)

 Initial fill 2.5 – 3 liters
 Re lubrication quantity 200- 250 ml.
HALF YEARLY
 Check the Fan bearings i.e. inspection of rollers
bearing inner race and clearance between rollers
and outer race.
 Inspect the bearing housing.
 Check the Collars and oil rings.
 Check the wear in the impeller.
 Check the Impeller for soot deposition and wear.
Clean the impeller.

 YEARLY:
 CHECK THE ALLIGNMENT OF FAN ,VOITH AND MOTOR.
 CHECK THE BEARING CLEARANCES
 INSPECT THE BERAINGS FOR PITS OR DENTS IF ANY
 CHECK BEARING POSITION WITH DIALING

WORKING AND
OPERATION
Prepared by
DNV. Ravishankar
Checked and approved by
B.Ramarao

 Working oil flows in to the coupling working
chamber and, due to centrifugal force, forms
a rotating oil ring in the scoop chamber.
 The power of driving machine is transmitted
through the primary wheel on to the working
oil; the working oil accelerated in the primary
wheel and the mechanical energy converted
in to the kinetic energy.

 The secondary wheel absorbs the kinetic
energy and converts back in to the
mechanical energy. This energy is
transmitted to the driven machine.
 The scoop tube position determines the
thickness of the oil ring in scoop chamber.

OPERATING DATA
 Working oil temperature
 Lube oil pressure
 Differential pressure

Working oil temperature
