Condition Assessment

Condition Assessment is the implementation of specific activities focused on determining the present state of a component.

– Engineering calculations– Nondestructive testing– Metallurgical evaluations– Engineering experience

ALSTOM's approach to Plant Condition Assessment involves the application of three steps to achieve the desired goals.

– Pre-outage reviews– Outage activities– Post-outage evaluation

LIMELIGHT™ HEIR Electric Ignitor

High Energy Ignitor with RetractEnergy output 12 joulesDirect lightoff of #2 or #6 fuel oilEliminates the need for higher cost gas or #2 oil ignitors for #6 oil burnersSpark rate - light oil - 4 sparks/sec Spark rate - heavy oil - 20 sparks/sec

Shown with EVERKOOLTM Oil Gun

80

Electric Ignitor for Main Burner

Easier access, less congestionFewer moving parts and controls

81

BenefitsImproves Reliability– Increase spark intensity and frequency– 12 joule energy pulse is more intense than previous models– Released at rate of 4 sparks per second or 20 sparks per second – More power per unit of time improves reliability of ignition– Power in the right place at the right time (fuel, air, heat)

Reduced Maintenance– Self-cleaning tip resists fouling from unburned fuel and

combustion products - eliminating the need to frequently take the ignitor apart for cleaning

– Solid semi-conductor spark generator improves life vs. older style semi-conductor coating

High Energy Ignitor (HEI)
