Ø  Close Vacuum Breaker

Ø  Open 8.5 m steam Manual valve full Both (100%), Temp> 250 Deg ( Open

Ø  Start GSC Exhauster Fan

Ø  Start Both Vacuum pumps ( Casing Empty, Receiver tank Level adeq)

Ø  At -0.2 ksc charge steam gradually ( lower Controller from 50% à 0 %)

Ø  Build Vacuum upto -0.9 ksc

Hydrogen Purging

Ø  SLC AS SOP Off, SLC DC SOP Off, SLC H2 SOP Off

Ø  Suppy of DC SOP Off

Ø  Start one AC SOP ( DP=1.5 ksc)

Ø  Dew Point Air=<-10 Deg, clearance from Chemist

Ø  H2 (Isolated Position), CO2(Isolated Position), Air Inlet(Open), Casing vent ( Closed)

Ø  Fill and Pressurise upto 0.5 ksc

Cold start-up

Points to Remember

Ø  maximum of HP casing and HP shaft is less than 150°C(more than 5 days)

Ø  It requires soaking of Turbine at 360 rpm with steam(40ksc,360 Deg)

Ø  An upper limit of 200° C/hr. saturation temp gradients can be allowed, i.e. approximately the boiler pressure can be brought to 20 Kg/ Cm² within an hour of cold start up

Ø  But actual temp gradient is limited by the thick walled Y piece provided in the main steam and HRH lines

Ø  maximum differential temp allowed between inner (98%) and mid wall temp (50%) is ±40°C

Ø  Start only two CC pumps in order to minimize flashing in down comers (and subsequent vibration) when the boiler water is in the range of 85° to 125° C

Volumetric Vs Gravimetric Mode : Feeder

Volumetrric Vs Gravimetric Mode : Feeder

• Coal properties constantly vary due to sizing differences and the adverse impact of moisture. These affect heating value, flow characteristics and density.The resultant density changes are measured by the Gravimetric Feeder. 
•  The gravimetric feeder compensates for the variation in bulk density and feeds a fixed weight of coal in response to a boiler fuel demand
•  This ability to accurately weigh the coal provides significant improvement over volumetric types in terms of matching the fuel delivered by the feeder to the actual process energy required on coal fired units. 

Benefits of Gravimetric Feeder

• Fuel Savings through Improved Boiler Efficiency
• Improved Combustion Efficiency/LOI
• Less Slagging and Fouling, leading to Less Corrosion
• Less NOx through Better Control of Excess Air
• Stability and Improved Response of Combustion Controls
• Improved Pulverizer/Cyclone/Combustor Performance
• Reduced Safety Concerns

How It Works : Gravimetric Mode

• Gravimetric feeder weighs material on a belt between two fixed points (span) precisely located in the feeder body.
• A roller, located midway in the span and supported at each end by precision load cells, supports half the weight on the span
• The load cells generate an electrical signal directly proportional to the weight supported. 
•  The microprocessor takes samples of the output of each load cell many times a second. 
• If the load cell outputs are within the expected range, they are added to obtain total weight per unit of belt length. 
• Belt speed is determined by sampling the output of a tachometer attached to the motor shaft, multiplied by a calibration factor to convert it into a belt speed signal
• The microprocessor multiplies the speed and weight signal for the feeder rate of fuel output.
• Finally, the microprocessor matches the feeder output to the output required by the boiler control, by adjusting the feeder motor speed.
• Feeders provide an accuracy of +/- ½ of one percent of totalized weight when calibrated and maintained

Volumetric feeding

• Volumetric feeder is Open-loop device

• Volumetric mode is set-speed constant , choke-fed or flooded infeed of a particulate solid and it feeds by volume only.
• Feed must have consistent bulk density
• As there is no information on  feedback of feeder ouput and drive control system
