About the manual

The manual is divided into 10 sections:
1. General

5. Detailed description of Combustion controls (steam pressure, fuel oil, gas, air, level and steam
temperature)
6. Detailed description of Burner management for fuel oil (purge sequence, boiler safety)
7. Detailed description of Gas firing
8. Flame scanners

2. Control panels, brief description of the different functions

Burner Management Panel in ECR (This description is valid also for the Boiler Local Panel, BLP)
 EMERGENCY STOP
 This button stops the firing by closing all fuel valves, oil as well as gas.
 Emergency Stop cannot be over-ridden by BOILER TRIPPED (PUSH TO OVERRIDE) button
 The emergency stop button has to be released by turning the knob

 GAS AVAILABLE
 This lamp indicates that gas is available for gas firing, i e no gas trip is present
 If the lamp is not lit, gas firing cannot be started

 GAS FIRING TRIPPED/RESET

 This push-button/indicator is indicating that a gas trip has occurred (lamp is lit)
 When the reason for gas trip has been cleared, gas firing trip system is RESET with the button

 BOILER TRIPPED (PUSH TO OVERRIDE)

 Boiler trip because of low water level or F D Fan stopped, can be over-ridden by using this switch
 When in use, the lamp is flashing
 Note that Emergency Stop cannot be over-ridden by this button

 DIESEL OIL
 This button is normally used when the boiler is started from cold condition on D.O.
 The button will by-pass the following start interlocks:
1. Atomizing steam pressure below limit
2. F.O. pump pressure below limit
3. F.O. temperature below limit
 The DIESEL OIL button can be used any time if required to by-pass the a. m. start interlocks
 Warning: If used on HFO, the burners will not trip on low atomizing steam pressure!
 When DIESEL OIL is selected, the lamp will be lit

 START INTERLOCK
 This lamp indicates that a START INTERLOCK is active, I e a subsequent burner cannot be started. The
interlocks can be:
 Atomizing steam pressure below limit
 F.O. pump pressure below limit
 F.O. temperature below limit

 STOP GAS FIRING

 This button will stop the gas firing on this boiler in the following manner:
 In DUAL FUEL mode: Burners will be switched to FUEL OIL mode
 In GAS ONLY mode: Burners will be switched to DUAL FUEL mode. When this is
accomplished, burners will be switched to FUEL OIL mode

 BOILER TRIP RESET

 A boiler trip must be RESET with this push-button when the reasons for trip has been cleared before
the boiler can be re-started

 START
 A burner is started with this button
 In case of FUEL OIL mode: The burner will start on fuel oil
 In case of DUAL FUEL mode: The burner will start on fuel oil and continue to DUAL FUEL
 During start sequence, the indicator lamp is flashing

 FLAME ON
 This lamp is lit when any of the IR or UV sensor in this burner is indicating flame on
 The lamp is flashing if flame on is indicated when burner is off

 STOP/FLAME FAILURE
 This button is used to stop the burner completely, i e both fuels (oil and gas)
 If flame goes out or flame fails during start of burner, the lamp is flashing
 When lamp is flashing (flame failure alarm), button must be pressed to acknowledge the alarm and
to proceed with this burner
 ECR: This button has a momentary action
 BLP: This button has a maintained action. This means the button may stay in the inner (=STOP)
position. This can be used when the operator is working on the burner

 FUEL OIL MODE

 This push-button indicator is used to select FUEL OIL MODE
 In case of DUAL FUEL mode: All burners that are ON, will switch to FUEL OIL MODE

 DUAL FUEL MODE

 This push-button indicator is used to select DUAL FUEL MODE
 In case of FUEL OIL mode: All burners that are ON, will switch to DUAL FUEL MODE
 In case of GAS ONLY mode: All burners will be switched to DUAL FUEL mode.

 GAS ONLY MODE

 This push-button indicator is used to select GAS ONLY MODE
 In case of DUAL FUEL mode: All burners that are ON, will switch to GAS ONLY MODE

Combustion control panel in ECR (This description is valid also for the Boiler Local Panel)
 MASTER CONTROLLER
 The master controller is controlling the steam pressure vs. the set point
 Steam pressure set point is found on the HMI, page ”Master”
 The master controller output is called Power demand
 Power demand is modified depending on the number of burners in operation:
1. If one burner is in operation, power demand is multiplied by a factor 3
2. If two burners are in operation, power demand is multiplied by a factor 1.5
3. If three burners are in operation, power demand is multiplied by a factor 1
 After modification, the signal is called Burner flow demand, this is the set point for the F.O.
controller and the fuel gas controller
 If the master controller is operated manually, both boilers fuel controllers will respond to the
changes in power demand, provided these controllers are in auto.

 STEAM DUMP
 There is one steam dump valve control output, 4-20mA
 There are two steam dump control valves, operating in split range. The steam is coming from
external de-superheater (large).
 The dumping is controlled not only by high steam pressure. Dumping can only begin when power
demand has come down to zero.

 FUEL OIL
 On fuel oil only, the set point for fuel oil firing is the burner flow demand
 On dual fuel firing, fuel oil set point will be on minimum setting

 FUEL GAS
 On gas only or on dual fuel, the set point for gas firing is the burner flow demand

 COMBUSTION AIR
 The set point for combustion air flow is the sum of fuel oil flow and gas flow
 Air flow can be adjusted by air/fuel ratio on the HMI

 DRUM LEVEL
 Set point, normally zero, is set on the HMI
 The load signal is coming from the steam flow transmitter
 Changes in the boiler load will increase or decrease the valve opening.
 Level is slowly corrected to set point by the level transmitter

STEAM TEMPERATURE
 Set point, normally 510C, is set on the HMI
 Temperature is slowly corrected to set point by the secondary superheater outlet temperature
transmitter

General on Auto/Manual control

 AUTO BUTTONS/LAMPS
 When the button is operated, the controller will switch to automatic control
 When the controller is in auto, the lamp is on
 When the controller is in manual, the lamp is off

 MANUAL INCREASE/DECREASE BUTTON

 When the button is operated, to left or right, the controller will switch to manual control
 When the button is operated to ”-”, the controller output will decrease
 When the button is operated to ”+”, the controller output will increase
 To return to auto, press AUTO button
