Ate same ine, Four faces of Tumace water wall panels that constitute lower portions of boiler proper are pre-assembled on the ground. Upon the ‘completion of each face of the furnace water wall panels this. > ‘itis brought into the boiler frame premise and life toward the upper portion of boiler proper, ad upper ends ofeach face ‘ofthe furnace water wal panels are connected to lower ends ‘of the upper portion of boiler proper. And the Furnace water ‘wall panel with four faces that constitute the lower portion oF boiler proper can he preassembled atthe more convenient Jocation with safe and efficent operation. Inadition to that the installation period for the boiler fumace wall can be shortened drastically dueto the reasons that there iso special restriction tothe establishmeat of the boiler Frame, there 0 need to make dedicated temporary suspension mechanism, ‘and the upper and lower portions of boiler proper can Be assembled in paral Tt should be born in mind other variation of the present invention is achieved by following sequence: After tempo- rary suspending two sides (left and right) of fumace water wall panes that are the parts of the lower portion of boiler proper, the upper portion of boiler proper is assembled while stis suspended from atop girder module located on the top of boiler frame, after thal, a furnace rear wall and a Tumace Tat wall that are the parts of the lower portion of boiler proper are suspended while the temporarily suspended left ‘and right furnace water wall panel are shifted 10 Use desig nated postion and the wpper ends of the furnace water walls orming four faces are connected to the lower ends of the upper portion of boiler proper. By doing this way the left and ripht fumace water wall panels are temporarily suspended advance, the left and right furnace water wall panels are ‘hited to the designated position when the eouneetion with the upper portion of boiler proper bocomes possible, and each face of the upper end of the furnace water wall panels is ‘connected with each lower end ofthe upper portion of boiler proper. Therefore the unwanted interference i avoids! even ‘cate tha the upper portion of boiler proper is assembled in ‘advance andthe upper portion of boiler proper itself usually bocomes the obstacle when lifting the tw (lft and righ!) furnace water wall panes Iisalso desirable to assemble the accompanying buckstay and wind box together as one body, when each ofthe fumace water wall panels are pre-assembled. By doing this way, the brckstay and the wind box are assembled inthe location with ‘goed workability on the ground saely andefiiently. Addi 4 sionally, the deflection and stress eaused tothe furnace water ‘wal panels inthe process of lilting them will he minimized beeatse the attached buekstay and the wind box inereae the rigidity ofthe furnace water wall panels significantly. Furtbermore, the present invention is characterized i that lifting jacks are located on the top of the boiler frame, and each ofthe farmace water wall panels are pulled up while the ‘upper portions of farace water wall panels are pulled by the iting jacks and the ower portions are dragged onthe ground. In this ease, itis desirable to pul up the pendant evil 10 be placed immediately above the furnace rear wall with the lifting jocks mentioned above at the same time. When each of the pre-assembled furnace water wall panels is lifted, the Titing jocks located on the top of the boiler frame can be lized. ‘Therefore, the safety and efficient operation is achieved for pulling and lifting the huge (several hundred fons) fmace water wall panel blocks tobe positioned in their designated positon easily. ‘When the furnace rear wall sited, the pendant col to be located immediately above the furnace ear wal is pulled up ‘with the lifting jacks.
