Instrument Air supply Failure



Reasons of  Failure:
Ø  Failure of control supply of  compressor
Ø  Loss of Cooling Water (SG ECW Pump Trip)
Ø  Massive leakage in  IA supply Header
Ø  One Unit Under Overhaul. Unit Aux Board/ Station Aux board  got Tripped of that Unit
Ø  Total Black Out of any stage
Problems/Actions:
Ø  No Oil guns can be taken in service: Oil/steam Valves remain Inoperative. Igniter Will not advance
Ø  If Unit on only Oil guns: Boiler will Trip. (HOTV/LOTV will close)
Ø  Stay Put :
·         HAG/HAD/CAG/CAD. No mill can be taken in service.
·         SADC,
·         Burner tilt (if leakage the it will go Up),
·         SH/RH spray control valves( close due to leakage),
·         Seal Air Fan discharge /damper,
·         Scanner air fain Discharge Damper
·         D/A Level controllers ( close if Air Leakage)- Maintain Level through Motorized Bypass Valve
·         TDBFP Seal steam supply/dump –Maintain through Bypass motorized valve
·         FRS 30%(FDV-14) if Open (Close on leakage)- control Drum through Scoop, TDBFP Scoop may Increase or Decrease, Open High Range FRs 100 % line

Ø  Close:
·         SH/RH spray Block .Open SH/RH block v/v manually if Temperature is running high
·         Vacuum Pump inlet v/v will start closing(vacuum will fall)
·         HP/LP Heaters normal Drip
Ø  Open:
·         Running BFPs Recirculation Valve ( Start MDBFP or Reduce Load)
·         CEP recirculation – start Standby CEP to maintain H/W, D/A OR Reduce Load
·         GSC Recirculation will Open: Reduce condensate to D/A- Close its Manual valve
·         Normal Make-Up –maintain level through Bypass valve OR through Manual valve
·         HP/LP Heaters emergency Drip
·         Deaerator Overflow valve

Ø  Open PAC-IAC Interconnection.
Ø  Isolate Plant Air Supply to boiler of both Units.
Ø  Inform other stage to run Additional IAC and Open Interconnection b/w stages
Ø  C&I should periodically check the healthiness of the lock out relay for maintaining stay put condition and maintain records of such checking.
Important Points at IAC Failure:
Ø  Steam Temperature
Ø  Condenser Vacuum
Ø  Drum Level
Ø  Deaerator & Hotwell Level
