Flame Failure in Boiler
Flame Failure in Boiler
There are many causes that can contribute to boiler flame failure. Operating the boiler with
unstable flame is always dangerous and can lead to boiler explosion. Tripping the boiler is the
option for all boiler designers and operators.
Maintaining a good flame in a boiler is the key to a good boiler performance. Unstable flame
is always a threat for boiler furnace explosion, which can lead to a large outage of the boiler
and economic loss. When a flame failure occurs in a boiler, the boiler desk operator and the
local operators will have to act immediately and bring the boiler back on line with all safety
taken in to consideration. It is always seen that the greatest number of explosions in boilers
takes place during start-up and shutdown. It is during this period that the probability for
unburned to accumulate in flue gas path of the boiler is very high. Hence it has become a
practice of all boiler designers to interlock purging the boiler with boiler start-up. Flame
failure in a boiler can be due to many reasons.

These causes lead to flame failure individually or in a few a combination. This will depend
upon when the flame quality becomes unacceptable.
It has to be remembered that delay in lighting up the boiler will decay the boiler pressure and
temperature. Depending upon the duty of the boiler the time taken to come back on line will
vary.
