ISSUED BY IASONAS ZACHARIOUDAKIS

A. CHANGE OVER PROCEDURE OF AUX BOILERS FROM HFO TO DO
Aux Boilers are idle and one of the two HFO/DO pumps is running circulating
the HFO into piping. The temperature of the HFO is around 120-1300C subject to
the HFO specs and the setting of Temp Controller while the HFO pressure is
around 19-20 bars subject also to the setting of Pressure Controller.
Additionally, we confirm that the three way valve G111 drives oil to “Mixing
Tube” position.
In order to change over from HFO to DO, below steps must be followed:
(a) Access to the Purifier Room,

(b) Close the manual valves of Aux Boilers heater and
(c) Turn the three way valve (HFO/DO) to DO position.
As soon as the three way valve is turned to DO position,
(a) The indication of three way valve on ECC computer is changed to “DO”
position,
(b) The three way valve G111 on ECC is changed from “Mixing Tube” to
“Service Tank”,

(d) “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” wording is flushing at the middle of the screen Formatted: Bullets and
Numbering
lasting acc to Flush timer 2.
Upon completion of (e) step, G111 valve is turned and drives oil to the “Mixing
Tube” and the HFO/DO pump is automatically stopped signaling the
completion of change over procedure from HFO to DO.
The HFO/DO pump selected as “AUTO” from the relevant menu, will be started
and stopped automatically every time Aux Boiler(s) is/are started or stopped
respectively. The pressure of DO around 18 bars subject to the setting of
HFO/DO Pressure Controller.

the screen lasting until system received correct feedback signal
from the limit switched of valves. The three way valves at burners
are turned properly enabling the recirculation of the MGO,
Confirm proper circulation
c. “FLUSHING FLOW RISING” wording is flushing at the middle of

the screen until the flow limit is reached the SETP FLUSH value. (
10 % tolerance ).

d. “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” wording is flushing at the middle of the
screen lasting acc to FLUSH TM 1.
After the completion of step (d), G111 valve is turned and oil is driven to
“Mixing Tube” and the MGO pump is automatically stopped signaling the
completion of change over from DO to MGO.
The MGO pump selected as “AUTO” from the relevant menu, will be started and
stopped automatically every time Aux Boiler(s) is/are started or stopped
respectively. The pressure of MGO around 22 bars subject to the setting of MGO
Pressure Controller
C. CHANGE OVER PROCEDURE OF AUX BOILERS FROM MGO TO DO
Aux Boilers are idle in MGO mode and none MGO pump is running.
In order to change over from MGO to DO, below steps must be followed:
(a) One of the two HFO/DO pumps is set in Auto Mode,

(b) Click on “Oil Operation” tag and select DO mode. Afterwards:
a. “FLUSHING WAIT VALVES” message is flushing at the middle of

the screen and the three way valves at burners are turned
properly enabling the recirculation of the DO,
b. The selected as Auto HFO/DO pump is automatically started,

c. “FLUSHING FLOW RISING” message is flushing at the middle of
the screen until the flow limit is reached the SETP FLUSH value (
10 % tolerance ),
d. The DO pressure is slowly increased up to 18 bars subject to the

setting of HFO/DO Pressure Controller,
e. The G111 valve is turned and oil is driven to “Service” tank,
f. “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” message is flushing at the middle of the

After the completion of step (f), G111 valve is turned and oil is again driven to
the “Mixing Tube” and the HFO/DO pump is automatically stopped signaling
the completion of change over from MGO to DO.
The HFO/DO pump selected as “AUTO” from the relevant menu, will be started
and stopped automatically every time Aux Boiler(s) is/are started or stopped

respectively. The pressure of DO around 22 bars subject to the setting of
HFO/DO Pressure Controller
D. CHANGE OVER PROCEDURE OF AUX BOILERS FROM DO TO HFO
Aux Boilers are idle in MDO mode and none HFO/DO pump is running.
In order to change over from DO to HFO, below steps must be followed:
(a) Access to the Purifier Room and open the manual valves of the Boiler
Heater,
(b) Turn the three way valve (HFO/DO) to HFO position. Afterwards:
a. The G111 valve is turned and drives oil service tank,
b. The auto selected HFO/DO pump is automatically started,
c. “FLUSHING FLOW RISING” message is flushing at the middle of
the screen until the flow limit is reached ( SETP FLUSH +- 10 % ),
d. “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” message is flushing at the middle of the


e. The temperature and the pressure of the HFO is slowly increased.
The elapse of “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” will indicate the completion of the
change over procedure from MDO to HFO. At the same time, the G111 valve is
turned and drives the oil to the “Mixing Tube”.
The HFO/DO pump is continuously running reaching the pressure of 20 bars
subject to the relevant setting of HFO/DO Controller. At the same time, the
temperature of the HFO is increased, reaching the value of 1200C subject to the
relevant setting of the Temp Controller.
E. CHANGE OVER PROCEDURE OF AUX BOILERS FROM HFO TO MGO

(c) Confirm/Set one of the two MGO pumps in Auto Mode
(d) Click on “Oil Operation” tag and select MGO mode. Afterwards:
a. The G111 valve is turned and drives HFO oil to the Service Tank,
b. HFO pressure is reduced to 5 bars subject to the relevant setting (
Low Pressure Alarm : 3 bars / High Pressure Alarm: 8 bars ),
c. The HFO/DO pump is continuously running in order HFO to be
circulated,
d. “FLUSHING TEMP FALLING” message is flushing at the middle of
the screen until the temperature of oil reaches the value of 90 0C
(subject to setting HFO-MGO Temp value).
e. “FLUSHING FLOW RISING” message is flushing at the middle of
the screen until the flow limit (SETP FLUSH +-10 %) is reached for
both boilers,
f. “FLUSHING WAIT VALVES” and then “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER”

messages are flushing at the middle of the screen lasting acc to
FLUSH TM 1. Afterwards :
i. The auto MGO pump is automatically started,
ii. Valves located at burners are changed position enabling
the recirculation of MGO through the flowmeters,
iii. The HFO is recalculated through the small branch ( not
through the flowmeters)
g. Upon completion of “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” stage, local valves

on the burner are changed enabling the recirculation of the HFO
through the large branch (not through the flow meters).
The elapse of “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” will indicate the completion of the
change over procedure from HFO to MGO. This time, the G111 valve is steady
driving HFO to the Service tank.
The HFO/DO pump is continuously running reaching the pressure of 4-5 bars
subject to the relevant setting of HFO/DO Controller ( Setp 5 bars / Low alarm 3
bars / High alarm 8 alarm). At the same time, the temperature of the HFO goes
down to the temperature of service tank and the MGO pump is automatically
started/stopped every time boiler(s) is/are started or stopped respectively.
F. CHANGE OVER PROCEDURE OF AUX BOILERS FROM MGO TO HFO
Aux Boilers are idle in MGO mode and the auto selected HFO/DO pump is
running. The MGO pump is not running.
In order to change over from MGO to HFO, below steps must be followed:
(b) Open the manual valves of the Boilers heater,
(c) Click on “Oil Operation” tag and select HFO/DO mode. Afterwards:
a. G111 valve still drives HFO to the Service Tank,

b. “FLUSHING WAIT VALVES” message is flushing at the middle of
the screen and the three way valves at burners are turned
properly enabling the recirculation of the HFO through the
flowmeters,
c. The pressure and the temperature of the HFO is increased subject

to the respective settings of Pressure & Temperature Controller.
d. “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER” message is flushing at the middle of the

e. “FLUSHING WAIT TIMER ” message is flushing at the middle of the
screen.
(d) Upon completion of “FLUSHING” stage, G111 valve is turned and drives
the HFO to the Mixing Tube.

The auto HFO/DO pump is continuously running independently from the Aux
Boilers status ( On or Off ).
