Page 5 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
Page 6 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
The primary air temperature is controlled by air heater PLC – controller. The primary air is
measured with a resistant thermometer provided in clients piping behind the VTT system.
Depending on this temperature the combustion air and the fuel control valve of the burner
will be opened or closed. The fuel control valve and the combustion air fitting are electron-
ically connected by the burner control manager.
The primary air MAX-temperature is watched by resistant thermometer provided in clients
piping behind the VTT heater and a temperature limiter inside the burner control cabinet.
When the maximum allowed temperature of (TSH 07.04) at heater outlet is increased the
burner will be shut off.
The flue gas MAX-temperature at air heater outlet to heat exchanger is watched by a fur-
ther resistance thermometer and a safety temperature limiter (TSH 07.06 and will also
shut off the burner in case of to high flue gas temperature.
The primary air MIN-flow through the VTT heater is watched by a differential pressure
switch connected between primary air inlet and outlet pipe. When the differential pressure
of switch (PDSL 07.08) is lower then MIN the burner will be shut off to prevent damages
of the system.
The differential pressure control as well as the temperature limiters will be adjusted during
commissioning.

6 Mounting
The air heater and the heat exchanger are separate completely assembled in our works.
For mounting the primary air heater the drawing no. 15377116 is binding.
Before positioning of the heater the foundation has to be prepared very carefully. The
base for that is the above mentioned drawing no.
After finishing the preparatory work the primary air heater can be installed by using a
crane.
The crane ropes only are allowed to be fastened at the provided eyes at the heater.
The important mounting tips at the drawing no. 15377116 are to be attended.
The most important assembly works are:
Mounting / installation of the heater to the foundation is in the responsibility of the cus-
tomer.
As shown at the construction drawing, the heater has to be anchored to one base support
point only. The foundation bolts including nuts required for this are to be provided by the
customer.
The support located on the door side must be able to slide without restriction so that the
heater can expand longitudinally when in operation.
For this reason it is necessary to provide foundation plates underneath the support as
shown on the foundation plan and the arrangement drawing.
The rollers (50 mm round bars) included in KEU supply must be positioned on the loose
supports (door side).
The pressure screw is located underneath the combustion chamber lid fixture and serves
to support the weight of the door.
Page 27 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
Prior to opening the combustion chamber door this screw must be unscrewed to such an
extent that the base plate firmly rests on the foundation.
After closing of the combustion chamber door the base plate must be lifted the foundation
by one rotation of the pressure screw due to heat expansion during operation.
When connecting the primary air pipes with the double flap and flue gas pipes to the heat
exchanger and the heater, please note that the customer has to provide supports for
these and provide them with the necessary expansion compensation / flexible joints.
Flange connections between heater, heat exchanger, primary air double flap with ducting
and connecting duct pieces.

8.4 Commissioning
ATTENTION!
The commissioning of the burner must only be done by authorized and qualified
specialists who are familiar with the special plant conditions as well as with the
operation and safety devices.
Before the commissioning can be started please check if the burner parts have been en-
tirely supplied and if those parts are properly mounted and connected to the supply lines.
These measures will be the basis for the proper process of the continuing works.
In detail we suggest to proceed as follows:
Compare the burner, fitting and accessory types with the received technical documentation.
Check fuel lines to free flow. The lines have to be free of any dirtiness and impurity.
Check fuel inlet pressure before opening the fuel fitting to the burner.
New installed fuel lines are always air-filled and must be deaerated before start-up.
The primary air fan has to be set in operation for testing the invigilators.
At minimum air flow working of the primary air fan, the pressure switch (DPSAL 07.08)
has to be adjusted.
Open main fuel fitting and check if the contacts of the safety devices are closed.
The function of each control and safety device must be tested by simulating the differ-
ent alarms. The results have to be recorded in writing (attend chapter 2.6.1).
Page 36 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
The flue gas damper has to be fixed in OPEN POSITION (ZSAH 07.16).
The fuel control and the combustion air control fittings must be set to the minimum or
Start position. For Details look at WEISHAUPT – MANUAL in chapter 12.
If all pre-conditions mentioned before are released, the combustion air blower is
started by the control system and if purging time is finished the burner start can be ex-
ecuted.
The fuel / air - ratio has to be adjusted over the complete turndown range such that a
stable flame and good combustion quality can be guaranteed (flue gas testing re-
quired).
Start - up settings look at Chapter 11.2.4 LIMIT AND SET POINT LIST.
Dates must be completed / changed if necessary at the end of the commissioning.

8.6.1 START- UP
The burner plant is designed for automatic operation and can be started automatically by
external signal from the superior plant control.
Before starting the burner make sure that no person can be endangered by
running the plant.
Before start – up, at least once per shift the entire plant has to be checked for
any external damages and soiling at the inlet filter of the combustion air fan.
Page 43 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
ATTENTION!
It has to be ensured that the complete exhaust air system
(Combustion chamber with heat exchanger and the piping’s to the atmosphere)
is sufficiently purged 5 times of the complete fluegas volume of the plant before
burner start according to the regulations of EN 746-2.
The burner can be started. The successful purge is reached when the purge-timer has
elapsed.
Start-up from and to process temperature attend the guideline
“COOLING - DOWN AND HEATING - UP GUIDELINES”
ATTENTION!
The TEMPERATURE CONTROL (TIC 07.03) with a Temperature RAMP for HEATING
- UP
is provided in the burner control system which is
PART of the AIR HEATER CONTROL SYSTEM.
The Controller (TIC 07.03) with the HEATING - UP RAMP has
to keep the temperature curves witch are shown at Chapter 8.5.2.3.2.
After burner is in operating mode the TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER (TIC 07.03) has to
be activated for HEATING UP the air heater according to the HEATING – UP RAMP as
shown in chapter 8.6.2.3.2.
Page 44 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
At the end of HEATING UP the primary air behind air heater system will be heated to ap-
prox. 400°C by the controller (TIC 13.20).
If the conditions of the primary air are as estimated the primary air can be switched from
the HOT AIR STACK to the EGRON DRIER by EGRON CONTROL ROOM.
The maximum primary air temperature is limited at 420°C by (TSH 07.04).
For PRESSURE CONTROLLER - PRIMARY AIR (PIC 13.21) attend chapter 8.6.2.1.
For TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER - COMB. CHAMBER (TI 07.14) attend chapter
8.6.2.2.
For TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER - PRIMARY AIR (TIC 07.03) attend chapter 8.6.2.3.
For TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER - FLUE GAS (TIC 07.10) attend chapter 8.6.2.4.
To protect the air heater against overheating following safety equipment is provided:
1. Flue gas temperature (TSH 07.06) behind heater is limited by input of the nominal val-
ue in the burner management system.
2. Hot primary air temperature (TSH 07.04) at EGRON input is limited by input of the
nominal value in the burner management system.
3. Primary air MIN-flow is guaranteed and limited by differential pressure switch (PDSAL
07.08) by input of the nominal value in the burner management system. If the pri-
mary air volume decreases due to fan damages or other reasons resulting in lower dif-
ferential pressure over the air heater system the burner system is shut off by the dif-
ferential pressure switch.
If the primary air set temperature or pressure or volume or flue gas temperature or some
other safety limit of the burner management is exceeded an alarm is activated at the
PanelView 1000 and at the EGRON PLC and the burner system is shut off automatically.
Shortly – which means not more than 20 minutes – a maximum flue gas air heater outlet
temperature of 400°C at (TSH 07.06) is allowed.
The burner can be re-started when the air volume is increased and the differential pres-
sure is reached as listed in the LIMIT AND SET POINT LIST (see chapter 11.2.4).
Each safety shutdown caused by high temperatures requires a manual re-start of the
burner at side.
The flue gas from the burner leaves the combustion chamber with integrated air heater
and gets through the heat exchanger and the stack to atmosphere.

DOCUMENTATION
Start-up mode:
Look also at operating instructions and functional description of the burner unit.
The Control of the Primary Air Pressure is executed with a controller inside the
BURNER CONTROL DCS.
The primary air pressure is measured in the hot air pipe to the spray drier (EGRON).
The speed of the primary air fan will be increased or decreased by the DCS-controller
output signal if the pressure of the primary air is increased respectively decreased from
the set point.
The set point range of the primary air pressure depends on the EGRON process values
and is between 000 and 000 mbar (Approval and fixing of these values at commission-
ing).
The DCS-controller part of the BURNER CONTROL is executed with external set point
guiding.
Range of the Setting points look at LIMIT AND SET POINT LIST (see Chapter 11.2.4)

(Part of KEU TECHNICIAN during DRYING OUT at FIRST START UP and at FIRST
HEATING DOWN and at HEATING UP after DRYING OUT)
The combustion chamber temperature is controlled by the KEU TECHNICIAN. The fuel
and the combustion air control valves are opened respectively closed when the tempera-
ture is increased respectively decreased from the set point ramp.
For set point ramp look at the curve diagram in Chapter 8.6.2.3.1
The Control of the Primary Air Temperature is executed with a controller inside the
BURNER CONTROL DCS.
The primary air temperature is measured in the hot air pipe to the spray dryer (EGRON).
The output signal of the controller (TIC 07.13) is conducted to the fuel and to the combus-
tion air control valves Flap 01.06 and CV 01.10 at FG - mode and to Flap 01.06 and CV
01.22 at LFO - mode.
The fuel and the combustion control valves are opened respectively closed by the PLC-
controller output signal if the temperature of the primary air is increased respectively de-
creased from the set point.
The set point range of the primary air temperature depending on the process values is 393°C.
The PLC-controller part of the BURNER CONTROL is executed with external set point
guiding.
The actual set point is forced from EGRON CONTROL ROOM.

DOCUMENTATION
The TEMPERATURE SET POINT RAMP for HEATING UP has to be adjusted during
FIRST START UP by WEISHAUPT together with the KEU TECHNICIAN and has to real-
ise the combustion air temperature (TIT 07.14) nearly according to the GUIDELINES of
the REFRACTORY LINING.
For set point ramp look at the curve diagram in Chapter 8.6.2.3.2
The Air Heater at all times has to be heated up with the smallest possible Set Point / smallest
possible Fuel Volume.

The times for COOLING – DOWN and HEATING – UP shown at the Diagram
have to be controlled during START – UP.
The Control of the Flue Gas Temperature is executed with a controller inside the
BURNER CONTROL PLC.
The controller (TIC 07.10) is active at any air heater mode and is responsible for the flue
gas temperature control.
The double flaps Flap 07.17 / FLAP 07.18 are controlled in such a position so that a cer-
tain part of primary air gets to the heat exchanger.
During standard operation the primary air is heated according to the fixed design load-
ings, according to the process parameters of the process data (see chapter 3.1).
For Range of the Setting points look at Chapter 11.2.4 LIMIT AND SET POINT LIST
which is part of this functional description and operating instruction.

DOCUMENTATION
The air heater plant is automatic mode designed with the possibility to shut-down with signal from
EGRON CONTROL ROOM. (attend chapter 8.2 and 8.3)
It is possible to STOP the plant from EGRON CONTROL ROOM or LOCAL from the
BURNER CONTROL CABINET at site.
At SHUT DOWN MODE (COOLING DOWN MODE) the burner capacity will be re-
duced to minimum.
For shut-down time temperature curve of the air heater look at the chapter 8.6.2.3.1
and the chapter 8.6.2.3.2.
At the end of the burner shut-down time the burner will be shut off.
The PRIMARY AIR FAN also has to REMAIN IN SERVICE for approx. 30 MINUTES to
cool the primary air heater after BURNER has been SHUT- OFF. The cooling time
has to be adjusted with a second time relay inside the burner control and will be
fixed during commissioning.
Only if the air heater is cooled down it is allowed to open the cleaning lid at the
combustion chamber.
Only if the cooling times of the combustion air fan and the primary air fan are finished
it is allowed to switch off the power supply at the main switches of the burner
control cabinet and the CUSTOMERS primary air MCC.
Page 53 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
The voltage supply 400 VAC has to be switched off with the main switch at the
burner control cabinet.
The fuel supply must be closed with the main fitting at the fuel line of the burner.

9 Maintenance
9.1 General checks and measures during productions
ATTENTION!
After first heating up to process temperature all flange connections
must be retightened as far as possible by the customer.
This procedure has to be done again after an operation time of 5 days.
After 500 h operating time the flange connections must be checked to tightness
by the customer.
The plant has to be checked at least once per shift for external damages and proper
functioning of the safety devices.
Check flame of the burner for irregularities like “LIFTING / PUMPING / PULSING”.
ATTENTION!
The glass of the inspection device must in no case be exposed to
constant temperature load of the combustion chamber.
Observation for a short time period only!
Damaged sight glasses must be changed at once!
Pay attention to unusual noises and smell of fuel in the area of the burner.
Page 55 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
9.2.1 In principle
Use only dry and oil-free compressed air for purging of the inspection glass. In this
plant primary air is used for purging the inspection glass.
ATTENTION!
Check the flame pattern through the inspection opening at least once a day.
Check that the flame is burning centrically and not touching the combustion
chamber wall at any point.
If the flame touches the combustion chamber, switch off the firing installation
at once to avoid serious damage to the combustion chamber cylinder.
Then check the firing installation and readjust the flame.
At the same time check the flue gas line for any soot deposits and clean them if
required.
The SUPPLY VOLTAGE 400 VAC has to be switched off with the main switch at
the LOCAL BURNER CONTROL CABINET.

Page 58 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
CAUTION!
- MAINTENANCE WORKS-
The air heater should be cleaned approx. every 6 weeks. If not required, because
soiling is only less, the cleaning intervals maybe lowered.
If cleaning the air heater the following cycle should be observed:
Prior to opening the combustion chamber door the pressure screw must be unscrewed
to such a position that the base plate firmly rests on the foundation.
Unscrew locks at the combustion chamber door and cleaning holes.
Push cleaning brush through the flue gas tubes.
Remove the soiling via the lower cleaning holes and blow compressed air through the
flue gas collector.
Close combustion chamber door and cleaning holes and screw tightly.
Page 59 (82)
DOCUMENTATION
After closing of the combustion chamber door the base plate must be lifted from the
foundation by rotation of the pressure screw due to heat expansion during operation.
