FBHE PUNCTURED TUBE REPLACING PROCEDURE

1. LEAKAGE AND DAMAGED TUBE DETECTION :

Avail Line Clearance with precautions
In shut down, when the boiler pressure is decreasing, detect a possible leakage noise
inside.
Once the noise has been located, make sure that pressure has fallen at
approximately 4 bar and that the exhaust gases are locked (guide vanes closed), then
open carefully the nearest door as to the noise source and detect the leaking circuit.
The first operation is also called "external preliminary inspection”.
If the leakage location has not been detected, the boiler can be accessed once it has
been cooled. Inspect the area in which the noise sounded louder; if the leakage is
located in an easily accessible area of the boiler, it should be easy to detect.
Otherwise make sure that the boiler is cold so as to discharge water. Slowly fill the
boiler and check where the leakage is located through the access doors. Drain the
boiler and inspect any possible damage. Filling and checking of the boiler depend on
the damage; if the leakage is not considerable, the hydraulic test can be performed
at the feeding pump pressure.

2. REPLACING PUNCTURED TUBE
Open the FBHE exit door
Ensuring the Bed material drain opening BC manual door
After cooling inside 24volt lighting arranged
Punctured tube marked for cutting after ensuring welding approach
Cut punctured tubes with ensuring all safety precautions
Spool tube pieces marked and edge preparation to be done.
Weld the tube. Preheat and post weld heat treatment as per Annexure
Remove Scrap material and tools
Check Welding joints by radiography/Hydro test.
Attend defecting welding joints if any welding defects
Clearance given to operation bed material filling.
Close the all doors
