treatment and discharge of slurry or pauses operation for too long time or the content of ash and slag in

incoming slurry increases suddenly which results in pressure on the ash scrapping harrow, system

resistance over limit or dynamic overload, when the torque instrument makes a signal, the harrow lifting

motor will start working, gear transmits to drive the screw to rise, so that the complete harrow rotation

assembly will automatically lift for the purpose of unloading and reduction of load. This device is arranged

on the bin roof platform, with very easy installation, repair, and maintenance. The drive harrow rotation

device should run continuously, and automatic harrow lifting device runs intermittently.

f. The inclined concentration plate assembly is assembled with polymer plastic panels and steel frames that

have good corrosion resistance, high strength, smooth surface and long life on site according to the sample

part, evenly placed in the middle part, acting as the main component for accelerating the ash slurry settling

and improving the efficiency of concentration.

h. The flow stabilizer is set in the center of bin and welded on the roof platform, mainly playing the

function to change the direction of ash slurry water flow, stabilize the divergent flow, and enhance the

effect of settling, and also support the inclined concentration plate assembly.

i. The roof lifting device is set on the bin platform, composed of lifting brackets, beams, rails, electric hoist,

etc. mainly for lifting of such parts as reducer for maintenance.

3.1.2 Operating maintenance and precautions

1) Reducer oil change: the oil should be replaced after running for 150 hours for the first time, the oil

change should be done as the reducer is warm and cleaned, thereafter, the oil can be changed once every 3

~ 6 months; the oil change interval may be shortened appropriately in case of much higher ambient

temperature or humidity. The reducer should be stopped if the oil temperature is found significantly

increased, temperature rise exceeded 60 or oil temperature exceeded 85 , as well as unusual noise or

abnormality is found, and can only be used once again with oil changed after fault is removed.

and welded into the integral unit on site, acting as the support of the concentrator.

b. Ladders and roof platform are welded by section steel, paved with tread plate or steel grating, according

to user’s different requirements, acting as the access and maintenance platform.

c. The bin body consists of upper cylindrical segment and lower cone segment. The cylindrical segment is

welded on site into an integral unit by cylindrical wall board and pilaster that acts as both wall board and

support, its upper part has a serrated overflow weir, for convenience in outflow of the gathered clarified

water. It is welded with a prop ring plate on the middle part on which the inclined concentration plate

assembly is placed and which also supports the inclined concentration plate assembly together with the

flow stabilizer. The cone segment consists of two cone and several pieces of high dimensional accuracy,

accurate forming cone plates that are cut by CNC flame cutter and welded into an integral unit on site.

slurry to the slurry discharge port for discharge, then it can be put into stable operation.

8) Equipment is running in continuous mode. The slurry discharge port should continuously discharge

slurry without blockage.

9) During operation of the equipment, if the lifting motor starts to run and ash scraping harrow rises up, it

indicates the ash content in slurry is too high, it should increase the discharge flow of the bottom slurry

discharge port to exhaust the thick slurry at bottom and restore normal operating conditions of equipment.

At the same time, it also should check the ash content of the incoming slurry, and take measures to prevent

too much ash into the high-efficiency concentrator.

10) Before shutdown, the slurry inlet valve should be closed, and the concentrator should be shut down

after the discharge of settled and concentrated slurry particles.

11) Before startup of equipment after long outage for some reason, it should first check for debris or muds

stuck on harrow, and clean up if any to reduce the starting load. The equipment should not be forced to start

with load.

Chapter 2 Running of Slag Handling System 2.1 Operating principle of high-efficiency concentrator

2.1.1 The high-efficiency concentrator makes use of the deposition characteristics of ash and slag particles

in the liquid to separate solids from liquid, and also makes use inclined concentration plate to accelerate the

sedimentation, significantly improving settling efficiency; solid particles settled to the bottom of tank are

gathered by the bottom rotary ash scraping harrow to the central slurry discharge port at the bottom of tank.

Precipitated slurry of the discharge of high-concentration slurry and the recycling of clarified water. Then

the high-concentration slurry is re-conveyed to the dewatering bin, etc. superior equipment for further

dehydration. The concentration process is: slurry flows into the concentration tank via inlet pipe, quickly

dispersed throughout the cross-section by means of the flow stabilizer under conditions of minimizing

disturbance; coarse ash particles directly sank to the bottom, smaller particles spread around, settling and

diffusing at the same time; and also flow through inclined concentration plate with improved settlement

efficiency. Installation of inclined concentration plate is use of the fluid shouldow theory, the principle is:

(1) increasing the settling area; (2) the settling zone of inclined concentration plate is divided into many

small portions, so the flow is relatively stable, unease to produce vortex, and conducive to particle

sedimentation; (3) the particle sedimentation distance is shorter, which is equivalent to the distance

between two adjacent inclined plates, and therefore the time required of settlement is shorter, settling slurry

particles decline along the inclined plate, i.e. increase settling velocity, improve the settling efficiency. In

this way, the solids in slurry by own gravity sink in a fairly steady medium, the upper water separates from

solid phase, the solid phase slurry particles concentrated in the lower layer and gradually concentrated to

the bottom, they accumulate and being close to each other at the bottom of tank, in the meanwhile, under

the action of the scraper on the rotating harrow frame, the settled solid phase slurry particles further

accumulate and ion of concentrate, and then the precipitated slurry particles are slowly scrapped to the

center of tank by the scrapper on harrow frame to be discharged via the slurry discharge port; there formed

a upper layer of clarified water that flows out along the overflow groove to complete the whole process of

concentration.

2.1.2 Running operation requirements

1) Before running, check that all the bolts have good and tight connections, and whether all the piping and

valves are in starting state.

2) Before running, check whether the reducer has been filled with lubricating oil as required.

3) Before running, check that the motor reducer’s electrical control is normal.

4) Before running, check that the motor reducer is normal in empty running test, and check and verify that

the motor wiring is correct, you must make the rotating direction of reducer output shaft consistent with the

that of the ash scrapping harrow as shown on the general drawing of equipment.

5) Check that there should be no rod, block and other debris in bin, and prevent jamming the harrow

rotation and blocking the slurry discharge pipeline.

6) Close the slurry outlet valve at the bottom of concentrator bin, start the motor reducer, open the valve of

slurry inlet pipe to fill the concentrator bin with water or slurry.

7) When the water level in bin is close to the weir overflow (open swirl nozzle water supply valve) open the

PART 3 Ash & Slag System

Chapter 1 System Overview

1.1 Overview of slag handling system

In this project, the boiler slag is handled by hydraulic conveying mode, i.e. the boiler slag is discharged into

the water sealing slag hopper for cooling, cooled bottom ash and slag are sent through the slag discharge

valve outlet to crusher for crushing, and then conveyed to the ash slurry pond by hydraulic jet pump. The

fly ash in economizer ash hopper is conveyed to the ash slurry pond by hydraulic jet pump. The ash and

slag discharged into the ash slurry pond are conveyed to the ash year through pipeline by the ash slurry

pump. Overflow water from the water sealing slag hopper is conveyed to the concentrator by overflow

water pump, and the clarified water overflows to the surge tank.

This project of 3X600MW coal-fired unit is set with one concentrator and one surge tank. The 6X600MW

coal-fired units of the whole plant are set with 2 concentrators and 2 surge tanks. The concentrator and

surge tank in common use by boilers # 1, #2 and #3 are arranged in between #1 and #2; the concentrator

and surge tank in common used by boilers # 4, #5 and #6 are arranged in between #5 and #6.

Each boiler is individually set with mill rejects conveying system which uses mill rejects hopper (provided

by coal mill manufacturer) and hydraulic jet pump to convey the mill rejects discharged from the mill to the

mill rejects scrapper’s upper hopper through pipeline, and then transported out by dumping truck. The

conveying water of mill rejects is overflow water of mill rejects conveyor that is treated in clarified water

tank and surge tank and provided by high pressure pump. Conveying sequence: mill rejects discharge outlet

→ mill rejects hopper feed valve → mill rejects hopper → mill rejects hopper discharge valve → hydraulic

jet pump→ mill rejects scraper’s upper hopper → truck. Each boiler is set with one mill rejects conveying

system which design conveying output could guarantee that the mill rejects generated in 4 hours of running

under MCR condition can be conveyed to the mill rejects scrapper’s hopper within 1 hour, and is not less

than 16t/h.

Mill rejects conveying system is hydraulic conveying, which forms one unit for each boiler that runs

intermittently. The mill rejects are conveyed by hydraulic jet pump through pipeline to the mill rejects

scraper’s upper hopper, and then transported out by dumping truck. The overflow water of mill rejects

scrapper is treated in the clarified water tank and surge tank and then provided by high-pressure pump to

the mill rejects conveying system. There is one clarified water tank and surge tank in common use by

3X600MW unit. 6X600MW unit is set with totally two sets of clarified water tank and surge tank.

Slag handling system is included in the PLC control system for monitoring, the whole system uses

automatic programmable control, with control point set in the ash handling control room, and the state of

which can be monitored in the centralized control room of unit plant. For ease of loading, slag bin

unloading uses local control mode, by which the loading is monitored directly locally. Except the slag

handling and conveying equipment that are designed for boiler BMCR condition with poorest coal quality,

all the other equipment from bottom slag hopper to the slag bin are designed by 150%. For each boiler, the

total ash content is designed at least the following percentages: a) bottom ash, 20%; b) economizer ash 5%;

equipped with a double-contact pressure in order to ensure the seal charging and relief pressure of seal ring

reaches the set pressure. The domed surface is smooth and hard, so that it can be brought into close contact

with rubber seal ring. The rubber seal rings are made of specially-formulated rubber, which are corrosion

resistant, wear resistant, and anti-aging. The actuator of the valve is fully sealed bidirectional straight

cylinder, which directly drives the feed valve to rotate, effectively preventing dust from entering wherein

and causing wear, leakage and other problems. The dome valve is provided with a mechanical control valve

at the output of rotating shaft, which connect through the sealing air passage when the dome valve operates

in place.

Structural diagram:

Working principle: before the dome opening and closing, the seal ring first release pressure, when the

pressure reaches the low value set for pressure switch, it indicates the seal ring is completely separated

from the dome, with a gap between about 2 ~ 3mm, when the valve is closed in place, the seal ring starts to

inflate until the pressure reaches the high value set, seal ring clings to the dome, forming a very reliable

seal valve ring band. In the switching process, the dome does not contact with the seal, and thus the

opening and closing moment is small, while the sealing surface of the dome and the seal ring of valve body

are not easily damaged.

Chapter 3 Routine Maintenance & Treatment

3.1 Typical fault analysis and treatment of refrigeration dryer

The main fault of refrigeration dryer comes from the circuit and cooling systems, and the final result will

inevitably lead to failure to start of the compressor, cooling capacity reduction or equipment damage.

Making correctly judgement of the causes of various faults and taking reasonable solutions not only involve

the theoretical knowledge of electrical and refrigeration technology, but what is more importantly is having

practical skills, some faults may be caused by several reasons, you must first of all make comprehensive

analysis of the fault phenomenon to find an effective solution. In addition, some faults are often caused by

improper use and maintenance by the user, and that is so-called “pseudo-fault”, so the location of fault can

only be determined through actual operation so as to find the right solution. The refrigeration dryer’s some

common faults and solutions are highlighted as follows:

Fault phenomenon Cause Analysis Solution

A. Refrigeration dryer does not work

1. No power supply 2. blown fuse 3. Circuit is open or loose

1. Check the power supply system 2. Replace the fuse 3. Check the line according to the circuit diagram

B. Compressor does not run

1. Power phase failure or voltage is outside the allowable range 2. Incorrect wiring 3. Relay or contactor does not pick up 4. If the compressor is capacitor start, then the start capacitor may be damaged 5. HV and LV protection switches are poor 6. Compressor mechanical failure, such as cylinder jamming

1. Check the power supply to make supply voltage be within the nominal range 2. Check line according to the circuit diagram 3. Check the reason, replace or repair 4. Replace start capacitor 5. Adjust the pressure switch setting, or replace the pressure protection switch 6. Replace compressor

Clean condenser or increase the amount of cooling water and reduce the temperature of cooling water inlet 4. Find out the reasons and maintain. 5. Exchange any two of the three phase lines or replace fan 6. Replace the expansion valve 7. Replace 8. Discharge refrigerant (the above reasons must be excluded before this operation)

D. Too low pressure of refrigerant results in the refrigerant pressure fault indicator lights up

1. Refrigerant shortage or leakage 2. Air flow is too small or load is too light 3. Hot gas bypass valve is not open or poor 4. The ambient temperature is too low.

When the system runs under automatic control of PLC control system, each boiler creates a conveying unit.

Its basic operating steps are as follows:

System feed. The exhaust valve is opened, then the seal ring of feed valve is released from pressure, and

feed valve is opened, when any a vessel transporter in the conveying system reaches the set material level

(or reaches the clock setting), the system is triggered.

Conveying. Close the core of feed dome valve is closed, pressurize the seal ring for sealing, and confirm

normal closing by the pressure switch, and close the exhaust valve, open the discharge valve, and in the

meanwhile open the air intake valve block and gulp valve, opens the boost air intake valve block, then the

compressed air will convey the ash to silo ash from all the conveyors.

System reset. There is pressure switch on the air intake line, as reaching the set low limit, close the

compressed air inlet valve block and boost air intake valve block, and then close the discharge valve,

system resets, and waits for the next cycle.

2.10.3 Programmed logic

2.10.3.1 Starting point

Feed valve (dome valve) is closed.

The conveying pressure is zero.

Discharge valve closed.

The sealing pressure is zero.

2.10.3.2 Feed

Open the exhaust

Wait 3 seconds, and then close the feed valve for sealing.

Wait 5 seconds, and then open the feed valve for feeding.

2.10.3.2 Feed valve is closed

Level meter operates or feed time out, close the feed valve and exhaust valve

5 seconds later, open the inlet valve seal.

When the sealing pressure reaches 5.5 bar, the feed valve is opened.

2.10.3.3 Conveying

When the discharge valve is fully open, the air intake discharge is opened.

Once pressure is set up in the transmitter, and the fly ash moves in the pipeline.

The conveying process continues until the conveying pressure is reduced to the set value, and lasts the

shortest conveying time.

The conveying compressed air is discharged from the bag dust collector.

2.10.3.4 Conveying process end

The conveying pressure is zero.

Air intake and discharge valve are closed.

Discharge valve is closed.

Transmitter waits for a new start signal from the material level meter.

2.8.2 For the water-cooled type, the cooling water inlet and outlet valves should be opened;

2.8.3 Press the green start button, contactor picks up until the start indicator (green) lights up, 5 minutes

later when the start indicator (green) goes out, the compressor starts running, with running indicator (green)

lit up;

2.8.4 Check whether the compressor is functioning properly, with or without abnormal noise, whether the

pointer of refrigerant LP gauge dropped to within the normal range of 0.3 ~ 0.5MPa (R22 refrigerant).

2.8.5 If everything is normal, turn on the air compressor and the air inlet and outlet shutoff valves to supply

air to the refrigeration dryer, and close the air bypass valve, at this point, the air pressure gauge will

indicate the pressure of the air outlet;

2.8.6 After 5 ~ 10min of observation, the air temperature treated by the refrigeration dryer can reach up to

the design pressure dew point 2~ 10 , at this point, the refrigerant HP and LP gauge indicate normal range

as follows:

Refrigerant low voltage: R22 R407C 0.3 ~ 0.5MPa R134A 0.1 ~ 0.3Mpa

Refrigerant pressure: R22 and R407C 1.2 ~ 1.8MPa R134A 0.7 ~ 1.1Mpa

2.8.7 Slowly open the copper ball valve of automatic drainer, so that the condensate in the air flows into the

drainer to be discharged thereby.

2.9 Shutdown process of refrigeration dryer:

2.9.1 Open the bypass valve to allow compressed air to continue to flow into the downstream pipeline, and

then close the outlet valve of refrigeration dryer;

2.9.2 Close the inlet stop valve of refrigeration dryer, and release the pressure of refrigeration dryer;

2.9.3 Press the red stop button to stop the refrigeration dryer, and cut off the power, open the hand-operated

blowdown valve to discharge all the residual condensate.

Operation of the refrigeration dryer should pay attention to that: 1. Try to avoid the refrigeration dryer

operating with no load for long; 2. Prohibit the refrigeration dryer to start and stop within a short time, the

interval should be at least 10 minutes so as to avoid damage to the refrigeration compressor.

2.10 Operation and control of pneumatic ash conveying system

2.10.1 Control mode

The control system uses three control modes: full automatic control, remote hand operation and local

control.

Under normal circumstances, the system uses full automatic control mode. In the full automatic control

mode, the operator sends starting or stopping commands to the ash conveying system via the computer

keyboard installed in the control room, the whole ash conveying system will run based on the process

professional requirements in order. If the system is running conditions are not met, or the selected device

has fault, the cause of fault will be displayed on the CRT.

In remote hand operation mode, the operator sends commands to equipment of ash conveying system via

the computer keyboard installed in the control room, the interlock mode between equipment is the same

with that in the full automatic control mode.

Local control mode: in maintenance of equipment or commissioning, the equipment operation is controlled

manually with the local control box.

2.10.2 Operation mode

It may edit other user parameters in the same way.

2.6 Routine inspection of air compressor

Period Operation Every day Check the oil level. ″ Check the reading of display screen. 3 months Check the cooler, and clean up if necessary ″ Remove the air filter element, clean up with compressed air and check.

If the compressor is running in a dusty environment, clean up more frequently. If the air filter element is damaged or contaminated seriously, please replace the air filter element.

″ Check whether all electrical components are operating normally, and tighten the terminals of the main power supply.

The condensate in air may accumulate in the tank, particularly in wet weather, when the exhaust

temperature is below the pressure dew point of gas or shutdown for cooling, there will be more condensate

precipitated. Oil containing too much water will cause oil emulsification, affecting the safe operation of

machine; therefore, condensate should be discharged depending on humidity on a regular basis. The

condensate should be discharged after the machine shut down and cooled sufficiently, and the condensate is

precipitated sufficiently, such as before startup in the morning.

2.7 Inspection before startup of series refrigeration dryer

2.7.1 Check the cooling system: observe the readings of HP and LP gauge on the instrument panel of

equipment, which should reach a balance under a certain pressure, while this equilibrium pressure

fluctuates with the ambient temperature, generally around (0.5MPa~1.2MPa).

2.7.2 Check whether the power supply voltage is normal, (AC220V/50HZ ± 5% for

SLAD-0.5NF~SLAD-8.5NF; 3-phase AC380/220V/50HZ ± 5% for above SLAD-10NF).

2.7.3 Check whether the air line is normal, the air inlet pressure must not exceed the working pressure in

selection, and the intake air temperature should not exceed that determined in selection as much as

possible.

2.7.4. Refrigeration dryers with handling capacity of 30 cubic meters and above are equipped with a

compressor oil heater that must be warmed up for more than 8 hours before the equipment is started for the

first time (with power on, the heater automatically heats), to ensure that the oil temperature in compressor

oil chamber is at least higher than the ambient temperature by 10 , otherwise, the compressor will be

seriously damaged.

2.7.5 If water cooling mode is selected, you should also check whether the cooling water has been

connected to the condenser, cooling water is normal, water pressure is 0.2Mpa~0.4Mpa and water

temperature is ≤ 32 .

2.8 Starting process of refrigeration dryer:

2.8.1 Power on, close the air switch, and the power indicator (red) on the equipment instrument lights up.

PART 2 Pneumatic Ash Handling Chapter 1 Equipment Overview

1. Pressure concentrated phase pneumatic ash handling system is applied to secondary ash discharge under

intermediate bin of coal-fired unit 6X 600 MW of this project. One boiler is a conveying unit and there are

6 conveying units in total. Conveying system employs LPT type vessel transporter to send ash to terminal

ash silo. There are two terminal ash silos for three boilers, each of which has 4 intermediate bins. And each

bin is equipped with 2 ash hoppers and there is one LPT transmitter under each ash hopper. Each primary

ash conveying system has two ash conveying pipes and each pipe has one silo top changeover valve and

one discharge box at terminal located at ash silo, on which two bag dust collectors are arranged. Every

conveying pipe is equipped with 4 transmitters LPT10000 in four units, each of which includes one

transmitter and one discharge valve while the pipe diameter is DN300-DN350-DN400. Transmitter of each

unit has one set of air inlet valve block on initial end. Another set of air inlet valve block is arranged after

discharge valve on each ash conveying pipe. Each boiler is a control unit and each transmitter has one local

control box which is also arranged at blowing valve block and changeover valve over ash silo. Each ash

silo has three bin level indicators (high, low and continuous bin lever indicator). Each transmitter is

installed with one bin level indicator. In this project, each boiler air preheated has 8 ash hoppers in total;

hence unit 6×600MW totally has 48 ash hoppers.

Coal-fired unit 6X600MW of this project is equipped with 4 ash silos with reinforced concrete structure

(Ash silo no. is 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively). The diameter of each ash silo is 15m and the effective volume is

3970m3. Two ash silos can store fly ash produced from worst coal fired no less than 12 hours in three

boilers under BMCR working conditions. Ash silo ash unloading system is a system guaranteeing the

normal ash unloading of the ash silo. All equipments of this system are located over the ash silo operating

layer; when discharging ash, equipments in system should apply continuous operation mode. Diameter of

each ash silo is Ø15 m and the silo height is 38.5m while the stored ash height is 24m.

Ash handling system of this project applies vacuum conveying system first to collect fly ash from ash

hopper of dust collector, air preheater and economizer into the surge tank and then into ash silo through

pressure pneumatic conveying system. Output of pressure and vacuum pneumatic conveying system should

be no less than 200t/h according to the requirement in contracts and technical documents.

Vacuum pneumatic conveying system means that ash hoppers in one electric field of electrostatic dust

collector are connected in series with ash hoppers in three bins of bag dust collector through one pipe and

there are 8 pipes in two electric-bag dust collectors. Two adjacent pipes will be combined into one pipe,

hence there would be four pipes in total, which will be connected to four surge tanks respectively, supplied

with air source by vacuum pump and the fly ash in ash hopper will be conveyed into surge tanks. Output of

each pipe is 50t/h.

Pressure pneumatic conveying system means: two pneumatic conveying devices under each surge tank are

connected respectively to two conveying pipes. Each boiler has two pipes and output of each conveying

pipe is 120t/h. There boilers form a unit equipped with two ash silos. Three boilers with six conveying

pipes are connected to two ash silos and each pipe can convey fly ash in surge tank respectively into two

Secondary current is large, but secondary voltage rise is poor or even close to zero.

Discharge electrode break causes the short circuit between dust plate and corona electrode. (2) Dew condensation of pressure-bearing insulator inner wall causes the high voltage short circuit to ground. (3) Corundum magnetic axis of cathode rapping device is damaged or short circuit to the ground is caused. (4) High voltage cable or cable terminal joint has breakdown short circuit. (5) There is too much ash deposit in ash hopper and the dust has piled up to corona polar framework. (6) Pressure-bearing insulator, supporting insulator and corundum magnetic axis are damp and covered with ash deposit and that causes creepage. (7) Back corona.

Chapter 3 Routine Maintenance and Treatment

3.1 Fault causes and solutions of former-stage electric filed:

No. Fault Cause analysis Solution

1

Primary and secondary voltage is low; secondary current is small. Primary current is too large and it rises rapidly out of proportion with secondary current.

There is interturn short circuit in rectifier transformer or open circuit or breakdown short circuit in silicon stack.

Perform open circuit test. If there is current in primary sides, it means there is certain part damaged inside transformer, partial excitation or short circuit. Pendant-core repair is necessary and damaged part should be replaced.

2

Voltage rises without current emerging. When the voltage is in normal operation, voltage starts declining and current emerges and rises rapidly.

(1) Dust resistance ratio is too high and it causes back corona; (2) Coal quality and processing operation is poor.

(1) Usually the power plant will improve the coal quality and processing operation to get coal fully combusted for enhancing rapping force. (2) Intermittent pulse power supply is applied.

3

Primary and secondary voltage is low and secondary current is small. The primary current is very large and when it is rising, primary and secondary current is out of proportion. The primary current will rise rapidly and mutates until nearly come to detonation fuse. There is obvious abnormal sound in transformer.

(1)Rectifier transformer low pressure short circuit fault; (2)Iron core (including core perforating bolts) insulation of rectifier transformer is damaged and vortexing is serious.

(1) Replace the low pressure package; (2) Redo the iron core insulation.

4

When primary and secondary current reaches the rated value, the primary voltage will be within 280~330V and secondary voltage within 40~50kV without flashover.

(1) Dust density is low and the electric field is without load; (2) High voltage cable and terminal head has serious leakage.

(1) Decline the rapping force; (2) Redo the high voltage cable and terminal head.

5

Primary and secondary current, primary voltage keeps normal without change. The secondary voltage indicator is swinging or it will indicate higher after power cutoff.

(1) Secondary voltmeter has loose moving coil screws; (2) Affected by charged dust of front electric field.

(1) Recalibrate.

field and its subordinate equipments should be disabled. Make sure the power supply and flue gas is

isolated and dust collector temperature drops below 40 and the working site has reliable grounding

connection and reliable safety measures are made. If there is toxic or explosive gas, don’t enter the electric

field immediately in case accidents happen.

4) Before entering dust collector, high voltage isolation knife switch should be put to position

“grounding” and the electric discharge part of high voltage silicon rectifier transformer output end should

be discharged with ground rod and be grounded reliably to prevent remnants of static electricity from

hurting people.

5) It is prohibited to contact discharge electrodes if there is no reliable grounding connection in advance

though the power supply is cut off in all electric fields.

6) Before entering dust collector, stored ash in ash hopper should be discharged and get it fully ventilated

and checked. Only when there is no toxic gas inside, can the work start.

7) None of the grounding devices of each parts of electric precipitation area should not be dismounted

casually.

8) Platform inside electric precipitation area maybe of corrosion as has been immersed in flue gas for

long. Special attention should be paid to the corrosion of platform at entering in case the platform damage

causes personal injury accident.

9) Confirm that there is nothing left inside dust collector before leaving the precipitation area.

10) Operating area should be well lighted and the passages should be clear and all manholes should be

closed tightly.

shorten properly the rapping periodic time and vice versa.

13) Control operation strictly according to electric-bag compound dust collector parameters:

A. Differential pressure of filter bag: 400~800Pa;

B. Differential pressure of dust collector inlet & outlet: 900~1200Pa

14) Strictly select ash removal type in order of priority as below:

A. Online ash removal: favored type;

B. Offline ash removal: deprecated type. Only applied when flue gas and dust is abnormally fine and

sticky and filter resistance exceeds the normal range.

C. Timing ash removal: favored type

D. Timing constant pressure ash removal.

15) Set ash removal system parameters strictly according to the below ranges:

A. Pulse pressure: 0.2~0.3Mpa, from low to high when adjusting;

B. Pulse width: 0.15S (unadjustable);

C. Working pressure of lifting valve cylinder: 0.35Mpa;

D. Pulse interval: 5~1000s;

16) Set working temperature points of bypass flue strictly according to below motioned tips:

A. It is normal when flue gas temperature≤160 , the bypass flue should be closed and protection air

passage should be open.

B. When flue temperature>160 , there is high temperature alarm; when flue temperature>180 , bypass

valve of control system should be open and lifting valve will be closed. And that time, the flue gas will be

discharged directly to dust collector outlet.

C. When flue gas temperature restores to and under 160 , lifting valve in bag area of control system will

be open and bypass valve will be closed. And then flue gas will enter dust collector as normal.

17) During temporary shutdown, each rapping device should keep rapping for more than 10 hours before it

stops.

18) When dust collector is disabled temporarily, heating devices should be kept going on working.

19) Each shift should conduct a comprehensive inspection for electric-bag compound dust collector and do

cleaning work within the scope of responsibilities. Make detailed records of abnormalities and equipment

defectors during this operation and do the shift hand over working well.

2.9 Safety precautions

As high voltage power is applied in dust collector operation, relevant regulations in Working Regulation of

Power Safety should be strictly implemented and special attention should be paid on personal and

equipment safety during operation.

1) It is forbidden to open the high voltage isolation switch cabinet and the cabinet door should be closed

tight.

2) When the dust collector is in operation, it is forbidden to open seal-capping of all doors or manholes.

If it needs to open insulation manhole door, get permission from attendant on duty and make effective

safety measures.

3) As to working inside dust collector, work sheet system should be implemented strictly and the electric

Page 54: Boiler Ash Handling Operation & Maintenance.pdf

5) Shut down the equipment when the above mentioned points are distinguished as the ambient factors

threatening equipment.

6) There is slight creepage phenomenon in starting system and it disappears after a while.

7) There is ash block in ash hoppers but it can be removed timely.

2.8 Check and adjustment during operation

1) Operation parameters can be properly lowered (usually through adjusting current limit value for

current-limiting) to keep electric field in operation when electric equipments are overheated caused by poor

operating conditions, for example, highly arranged rectifier transformer and damping resistor is overheated

during operation under moon hot weather, components is overheated resulted from thyristor cooling fan

fault. If the former-stage electric field has a declined capacity of ash discharge, the ash can be properly

transferred to the latter stage by lowering the operation parameters of the electric field.

2) Adjustment of rapping control mode: Rapping frequency can be increased properly and rapping interval

will be shortened consequently when ash accumulates heavily on electrodes; and rapping interval can be

properly prolonged conversely.

3) When the differential pressure of filter bags in bag area rise up to 1500Pa for long, shorten the ash

removal periodic time till the differential pressure declines down to normal value.

4) The ash discharge mode is automatic ash discharge based on the high ash level. During ash discharging,

if ash level signal doesn’t work, it can be switched ion successive ash discharging. It can also be operated

in the way of simulated automatic ash discharging by programmable controller according to electric field

conditions to keep certain ash seal to ash hopper.

5) Closely supervise primary voltage and current, secondary voltage and current, flashover frequency of

power supply equipment. Records should be made per 2 hours. Each shift should check the

temperature-measuring thermometer works normally.

6) Strictly monitor temperature of preheater outlet and dust collector inlet and outlet and usually, make

records per 2 hours

7) Strictly monitor the differential pressure of filter bag, pressure of dust collector inlet and outlet, ash

removal pressure, working pressure of lifting valve, pulse interval and ash removal period. And the records

should be made per 2 hours usually.

8) Monitor the temperature rise of high voltage silicon rectifier transformer and it should not exceeds above

80 without abnormal sound. Abnormal discharge phenomenon should not happen to high voltage output

network.

9) Check each insulation box and ash hopper heater should be working normally.

10) In case of fault or misoperation for dust collector and auxiliary equipment during operation, operators

should go to site to confirm fault point immediately after receiving alarm notice, analyze the cause and

contact for treatment.

11) Each shift should check twice all motors, speed reducers, bearings and outer operating parts. Check the

lubrication of lubrication points regularly and add lubricating oil or grease when necessary.

12) Adjust periodic time of anode and cathode rapping according to dust collector inlet & outlet flue gas

condition. When the inlet flue gas density is large, secondary voltage high and secondary current small,

Page 55: Boiler Ash Handling Operation & Maintenance.pdf

9

rectifier transformer and control cabinet for the sake of anti-interference;

3) Neither high voltage isolation room nor dust collector body should be entered during operation of high

voltage equipment.

4) It is forbidden to run ash removal system of bag dust collector during ash pre-coating and ignition of

boiler oil spray for combustion-supporting till the boiler burns coal at normal furnace temperature, to

prevent ash-coated layer from falling off and losing the protective effect of anti-dewing resulted from low

temperature.

5) Continuous ash pre-coating of a small quantity should be implemented when time spent on the process

of boiler ignition of oil spraying for combustion-supporting exceeds 2 hours.

6) Try to prolong the ash removing period on the condition that differential pressure of filter bag is within

the allowable range.

7) Temperature-measuring thermometer after the preheating should be timely replaced if there is a fault (or

wear) to ensure a normal operation of system.

2.6 Conditions for immediate shutdown of equipment

2.6.1 Electrical part:

1) Rectifier transformer and reactor are in high heat, temperature rise of reactor exceeds 65 , temperature

rise of rectifier transformer exceeds 40 or there are obvious flashover, arc discharge and vibration, etc.

pothead.

4) Power supply unit is out of control, and high current impact occurs.

5) Electric equipment catches on fire.

6) Other conditions that seriously threaten personal and equipment safety.

2.6.2 Proper part:

1) Space between opposite electrodes in electric field reduces materially, and arc discharge continuously

occurs in electric field. And there is dewfall and severe creepage of insulator.

2) Temperature of boiler flue gas rise steeply up to above 190 . There is an emergency alarm in control

system and the open temperature of bypass valves still doesn’t decline.

3) Gas temperature sharply falls below dew point temperature and there is bag paste phenomenon of the

filter bag.

4) When there is ash blockage in ash handling system and ash level keeps on rising after it reaches high bin

level, urgently stop the boiler to discharge ashes for protecting the filter bag from being damaged.

2.7 Conditions for appropriate shutdown of equipment

1) Rectifier transformer and reactor are in high heat and have already exceeded the normal allowable value.

2) Damping resistance belches fire, and power supply unit has partial excitation problem.

3) Cooling fan for thyristor is in high heat due to faults.

4) All sorts of cable heads, especially the main loop cable head and incoming line joints of rectifier

transformer and reactor are in high heat.

15) Check whether the air supply operating pressure of the outlet damper cylinder and bypass damper

cylinder is above 0.5Mpa.

16) Put it into insulating box for heating 12~24 hours before boiler ignition or system start-up to prevent

insulators from creepage as a result of dewing.

17) Put it into the ash hopper for heating 12~24 hours before boiler ignition or system start-up to prevent

ash hopper from cross-linking or ash clogging resulting from dewing or damp ash.

18) Ash pre-coating protection for filter bags should be conducted before the filter bag is put into operation

for the first time or after the boiler stops and cools before another start. Ash pre-coating should be done on

the day when the host is certain to ignite the boiler. When the host cannot ignite temporarily after the filter

bag ash pre-coating, ash cleaning system should be started to clean the ash layers of filter bag and to

pre-coat ash before the next start-up by host. In that way, the surface of filter bag can be protected from

being damp or pasted.

2.3 Startup of electric-bag compound dust collector

1) 12~24hours before the boiler ignites, put it into insulator heating device and temperature detecting

device in insulation box. Observe the heating situations should be normal and electric heating has insulator

room temperature rise above dew point temperature 20~30 .

2) Put it into ash hopper heating system 12~24 hours before boiler ignites. As to steam heating system, it

should be fully drained before heating system is put into operation.

3) Bypass valve should be opened and lifting valve should be all at “close” position.

4) Put the ash discharging device and rapping device into operation at time of boiler ignition or start-up of

system to start corresponding ash handling system.

5) Stop supplying oil to the boiler for combustion-supporting and start the ash removal system after the

boiler has started burning coal and running normally.

6) After it runs stably, adjust and set the secondary voltage ad current based on working conditions. It can

be switched into automatic operation after the setting.

7) Adjust the periodic time of anode and cathode rapping according to flue gas and running secondary

voltage and current conditions.

8) Set the pulse ash removal of bag dust collector according to differential pressure conditions.

2.4 Shutdown of electric-bag compound dust collector

1) After the host stop, cut off the electric field high voltage supply according to the shutdown process for

electric dust collector.

2) Keep running the anode and cathode rapping and latter-stage ash removal system of the electric dust

collector and conduct ash removing continuously for 10 ~20 periods.

3) Shut down low voltage control system after ash discharging and conveying of ash hopper is done.

4) Shut down the system blower.

2.5 Precautions for equipment operation:

1) To prevent the switches from being burnt down, do not switch the high voltage switch or directly pull

down the switches under the equipment operation status;

2) Metal-shielded wires should be applied as the feedback connection lines of current and voltage between

rise up to 800Pa → Ash coating; If flue gas pass through bypass flue, Clean the ash → Times of ash coating

can be less, as below: Automatic ash cleaning for a period (manual ash cleaning is also allowed) → Open

the butterfly valve of ash coating pipe → Ash car delivers the ash → Close the butterfly valve;

Notice: If flue gas passes through the bypass flue, and if it is the control cabinet controlling the bypass

valve, the ash cleaning can only be conducted manually. If the local operating box controls the bypass valve,

it will clean the ash automatically when the ash cleaning period should be shortened.

2) Precautions:

a) Ash coating volume has to do with air volume of inlet flue. The larger of the baffle opening of induced

draught fan, the larger of the air volume and the higher of spraying efficiency;

b) When cleaning → coating ash in midway, the shorter of the time, the better. It is in the order of

cleaning first and coating afterwards.

c) After a long time oil burning and boiler stop, ash cleaning should be immediately conducted followed

by ash coating which should be kept on the boiler till next ignition and operation.

d) After coal is put in and the oil is stopped to supply for combustion-supporting, if the differential

pressure of filter bag rises up above 800Pa, ash cleaning can be conducted while the ash coating can be

canceled.

2.2 Check before starting the electro-bag compound dust collector:

1) Check whether there is foreign matter in the casing and insulator box of electrostatic dust collector, if all

the manhole doors are closed tightly.

2) Check whether the platforms, stairs and handrails of each part of the electrostatic dust collector are firm

and complete, the passage is clear and the lighting is sufficient.

3) Check whether each transmission mechanism is in good condition and if each lubrication point has

sufficient lubricating oil.

4) Check whether dry ash handling system is in good condition and if each ash discharging valve is in

proper position.

5) Check that grounding device in each part should be in good condition.

6) Check whether each heating unit is in good condition and reliable.

7) Check and measure if the insulation of relevant equipment is qualified.

8) Check to make sure both the high-voltage cable head and high-voltage silicon rectifier transformer not

have oil leakage phenomenon.

9) Check to make sure each connection of the power supply unit is in good condition and reliable, no

component is loose, and operating mechanism of the high-voltage disconnector is flexible and in proper

position.

10) Check to make sure all the maintenance personnel has left the electrostatic dust collector body.

11) Check to make sure the functions of all the instruments, power switches, adjusters, monitor and alarm

signals and protection devices is in good condition.

12) Check whether the test rapping device runs normally and if the rapping device head raps on central

position of the rapping bar.

13) Check whether the pulse valves act normally.

14) check whether all the cylinders of each damper work smoothly

2) The state of lifting valve and bypass valve during fluorescent powder leakage detection: Lifting valve

is in open state while the bypass valve in close state and all manholes should be closed.

3) Put the fluorescent powder into the opening of inlet flue (usually pour it through pressure test hole and

details depend on the specific circumstances) on the condition that the main air blower runs at half of the

design airflow while the air removal system stops running;

4) After the fluorescent powder is put into the dust collector, the air blower should keep going on running

for at least above 20minutes to make sure the powder is distributed evenly on the filter bags in each

compartment of electric-bag compound dust collector.

5) After main air blower is closed, open the manhole door of the cleaning chamber of electric-bag

compound dust collector for inspection personnel to enter with fluorescent lamps (UV lamp) to inspect in

each cleaning chamber. There should be no fluorescent powder in clothes, hats, shoes and other parts of the

body of the inspection personnel. And the one with fluorescent powder should not be allowed to enter for

inspection. To seriously check the seam crossing of card, joints between filter bag and card in cleaning

chamber with fluorescent lamp. The dimmer it is in ambient environment, the more it will help the leakage

detection work.

6) If there is fluorescent powder (fluorescent powder displays as red under the rays of fluorescent lamp)

discovered during inspection, analyze the reason carefully and take notes. When dealing with the

fluorescent power leakage problem, if welding is needed, take measures protecting the filter bag;

7) Check the quantity of fluorescent powder around bypass flue valve plate and open the bypass valve to

check the fluorescent powder quantity at the positions of silicon rubber gasket before and after the valve

plated is pressed tight. To check whether the leakage of bypass flue is too serious and if it is, the reason

analysis must be implemented and corresponding treatment should be conducted (Usually, the reason is that

the space of valve plated press-in silicon rubber is too small. And the valve plate can be screwed slightly

down).

2.1.3 Ash pre-coating

When igniting the boiler, certain lampblack with incompletely combusted tars will enter dust collector and

get the surface of filter bags binding and pasted. If the phenomenon is temporary or intermittent, it can be

settled by “ash pre-coating” measures.

1) Operation method of ash pre-coating:

a) Principle of ash pre-coating: Filter bags should be pre-coated with ash before the boiler’s ignition and

oil burning;

b) Usually, the operation sequence of ash pre-coating when start and stop the boiler is: Make sure the

lifting valve is in open state while the bypass valve is in close state → ash tank car is in place and taken

over → Start the induced draught fan (baffle opening is above 60%) → Open the butterfly valve of ash

pre-coating pipe → Ash car delivers the ash → the filter bag differential pressure is ranged within

300-400pa→Stop ash coating and close the butterfly valve of ash pre-coating pipe;

c) Operation sequence of ash coating during long time oil burning process: System long time oil burning

requires intermittent ash coating → Ash cleaning → Ash coating. Hence there should be two ash tank cars

ready to feed and coat the filter bags during long time oil burning. If the flue gas pass by bag area, ash

coating frequency should be higher and ash cleaning is necessary when differential pressure of filter bag

10) If the electrics have got all the conditions, adjust the pressure in air bag to 0.2~0.25Mpa and operate

the field end box of pulse valve to have each pulse valve work at least twice.

11) Finally, check whether there is air leakage on two joints of pulse valve and air bag. And if there is

between pulse valve and air bag pulse valve pedestal, check whether the bolts and nuts are screwed tightly.

If it is air leakage between pulse valve and air bag connecting short tube, the pulse valve should be

dismounted to check whether the gasket is broken and if it is , replace it with a ne w one to be mounted.
