SYSTEM FEATURES
INTRODUCTION
Traditional Visual Gauges and Differential Pressure Manometer Gauges for the
measurement of level of water in a Boiler Drum suffer from the inherent measuring
errors due to density difference. In addition, they require constant attention &
maintenance.
The working principle of BHELVISION-20M ELECTRONIC DRUM WATER

LEVEL INDICATOR is based on the differing resistivities of Steam and Water at high
pressure and temperature.
Because of its high accuracy and easy maintenance, this has become the
automatic choice for the critical application of water level indication.
"BHELVISION" is an automatic choice for high pressure drum water level

application, on account of
♣ HIGH ACCURACY & RELIABILITY

♣ EASY MAINTENANCE
♣ FAIL SAFE AND FAIL OPERATIVE FEATURES
♣ EASY INSTALLATION
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Two nos. pressure vessels are attached to each end (left & right) of the drum
through double isolation valves in each steam & water limbs. One pressure vessel is
called Indication vessel and the other is called Validation vessel. The vessel design
and arrangements ensure that the level of water in the pressure vessel is almost equal
to the level inside the boiler drum. An array of Electrodes mounted on each of the
pressure vessels is used to measure the resistance of WATER AND STEAM sensed
by the Electrodes.
The outputs from the Electrodes are processed by a compact Electronic Cabinet
called ASCERTOR. There is one Ascertor for each pressure vessel. The electronic
modules mounted within the ASCERTOR cabinet provides a compact LOCAL LED
DISPLAY of drum water level. There are two Ascertor cabinets supplied for each end
of the boiler drum (one for Indication and the other for Validation).
Level information is transmitted to the control room for driving the UCB mounted
REMOTE DISPLAY UNIT, which is driven from the ASCERTOR cabinet.
All the Alarm and Trip contacts generated from locally mounted Ascertor
cabinets for Indication and Validation systems shall be connected to FSSS and
DDCMIS systems, as per the requirement. The 24V DC power supply required for
Ascertor cabinets are received from 24V DC distribution board.
The BHELVISION-20M system consists of the following items:
♣ Necessary mechanical hardware for connecting up pressure vessel of appropriate

size to the drum and its drain lines.
♣ Two Indication pressure vessels mounted with 16 Electrodes each and two
Validation pressure vessels with 8 Electrodes each.
♣ Four ASCERTOR cabinets mounted at Drum Floor (with integral local display) for
catering to total system requirements of differentiating between STEAM & WATER,
Display driving, Validation and Alarm/Trip contact generation.
♣ PTFE cable between Electrodes on the pressure vessel and the ASCERTOR
cabinet. (Max. 15m Length)
♣ Two nos. remote display units for mounting on UCB and two nos. remote display
units at firemen’s floor housed in an Indication box.
♣ Necessary cables from the ASCERTOR cabinet to the Remote Display unit at UCB
/ FAP and Trip cables between Ascertor cabinet and FSSS panel.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
BHELVISION works on the basic principle of differing resistivities of "Water" and
"Steam". The highly sophisticated electronic circuitry in the Ascertor continuously
monitors the Electrodes, individually using AC excitation. The Electrode output is
significantly different for STEAM and WATER. The signal from the Electrode is
precision rectified and compared with lower and upper threshold values. At any time, if
the signal is less than the lower threshold then the output is to indicate "WATER" and
when the signal strength is greater than the upper threshold the output is to indicate
"STEAM"
The Water and Steam output signals from the "Ascertor" modules are used
• For Validation i.e any improper level detection such as water above
steam or steam below water condition.
• For driving the local, Firemen’s floor and UCB display.

• For driving Relay module, generating High / Low alarms and V.High /
V.Low Trips.
• For driving Auto simulation(Optional), RS232C communication(Optional),

etc.,
The following are the set points for Alarm / Trip levels for Indication system:
High Trip : 275mm above NWL HIGH Alarm : 125 mm above NWL
Low Trip : 375mm below NWL Low Alarm : 175 mm below NWL
(NWL stands for Normal Water Level)
The Validation system provides only Low Trip and Fault signals for each end of
the drum. Remote display units are not applicable for Validation system.
SECTION 2
Brief Description of Modules
BRIEF OUTLINE OF MODULES:
The ASCERTOR Panel has the following modules:

Power Supply module - PS 2018
Display Unit - DU 2018
ASCERTOR (AS2018)
This module generates 50 Hz (appx.) square wave signal to excite the

Electrodes. The output from the Electrode varies depending on the conductivity of
medium that surrounds it (water or steam). This output is precision rectified and
compared with a reference to determine whether the medium is steam or water. It
identifies the presence of water when the Electrode resistance falls below 100 kΩ.
(approx.) Similarly the presence of steam is confirmed only when the Electrode
resistance is greater than 200 kΩ( approx.). THIS ADJUSTMENT IS FACTORY
SET AND NOT RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE AT SITE. Between the water and
steam status, 100 kΩ (approx.) hysterisis is provided to accommodate change in
resistance due to process variation in Pressure, Temperature, Conductivity, pH, etc. It
also houses multilevel comparators to determine the status of electrodes and
connecting cable whether short circuited or open. An output is generated if the
excitation clock fails. Miniature relays are kept in this module to facilitate self checking
of the electronics by pressing the test button provided in the remote display unit at
UCB. Each module caters to 6 Electrodes. Each cabinet can accommodate upto 3
such modules and can cater upto 18 Electrodes.
DISPLAY DRIVER (DD2018)
This module serves as buffer and current driver for driving the display units.
Each module can cater to two display units. This module holds circuit to flash the
corresponding channel LEDs between Red and Green if an open or short fault
corresponding to the channel is detected by the ascertor module. Power to the display
units are taken from this module. This supply is protected against short circuit by a
current fold back circuitry.
RELAY DRIVER (RD2018)
This module receives the STEAM / WATER signals from the Ascertor through
the status bus and provides contact outputs for water level very high, very low for
initiating trips and water level low, high to initiate alarm. Contacts are also given for
system fault, Electrode fault and trip disable. Trip relay is actuated if any two channels
vote for trip. i.e if ‘N’th port is connected to trip, then N+1 and N-1 ports are also
considered. Trip is energized only if any two of these ports vote. Alarm relay is
energized if the corresponding port votes. LED indications are provided in the fascia
plate for High Trip, Low Trip, High Alarm, Low Alarm, System Fault and Electrode
Fault. In case of System fault, steady output is given to energise fault LED in display
units whereas the same flashes in case of Electrode fault.
SYSTEM FAULT consists of
a) Any power supply failure

b) Absence of any module
c) Excitation ac failure
d) Validation fault
ELECTRODE FAULT consists of Electrode, cable – open or short condition.
A manual lockable switch is given on the facia to Enable / Disable the trip (Low
& High) functions as and when required during maintenance, testing etc. The key can
be released / removed only in the trip enabled mode. When a disable mode is selected
then the trip driver logic output is kept isolated and trip relays will not respond to trip
signal. Activation of disable mode is indicated through facia LED. This provision shall
be kept isolated if the BHELVISION system mechanical hardware is provided with key
interlock for the isolation / vent / drain valves.
MICRO CONTROLLER (MC2018)
This module does validation checks on the Electrode inputs. Water above
steam and steam below water are invalid conditions which are detected by this
module. This module gives 4 – 20 mA DC current output corresponding to water level.
RS 232 C outputs are also generated, which gives information on level of water, trip /
alarm status etc., This output can be used to interface with DDCMIS.
POWER SUPPLY MODULE (PS2018)

This consists of DC to DC converter unit (for 24 V DC input supply) generating
an isolated 12 V DC regulated output. This module feeds power to all the modules.
Two such modules are used for redundancy, so that even if one power supply fails,
other power supply takes over automatically.
DISPLAY UNIT
This display unit is provided with a parallel array of Red and Green LEDs (18
pair of LEDs) and 1 Yellow LED arranged at the panel front. The number of glowing
LED pair is equal to the number of Electrodes. A Red LED when glows, indicates
presence of STEAM at the associated Electrode, likewise a glowing Green LED
indicates WATER in the corresponding Electrode. One such display unit is fixed on the
Ascertor Panel door itself for local viewing and two more display units are supplied for
mounting at UCB and at Fireman’s floor mounting, for each end of the drum, for the
Indication system. The power supply and the drive for this unit comes from display
driver module. Test push button is given in this unit. By momentarily pressing this
button, one can quickly check the functioning of the equipment, on line. During this
self test period, all the channels are given a simulated input corresponding to water for
one second and all green LEDs should glow now. Immediately next, all simulated
inputs are changed to steam so that green LEDs should switch off and now all red
LEDs should glow for one second. During this period of 2 seconds test simulation
TEST LED glows. During this test simulation period, trip status corresponding to pre
test period will be maintained. However, alarm status will not be maintained. By this
arrangement, on line simulation testing of BHELVISION-20M system from UCB is
made possible. Normally, test simulation button in other displays like Ascertor
display, operating floor display is kept disconnected.
MOTHER BOARDS (MB2018 SYSTEM & POWER SUPPLY)
These boards housed sockets to hold all the above cards including the power
supply module. Relay contacts (System Fault) are generated if any one power supply
fails, any module is not connected etc.
SECTION 3
MODULE DESCRIPTION AND BLOCK DIAGRAMS
ASCERTOR - AS2018:
The Ascertor module AS2018 is powered from the motherboard with 12 V DC.
All Input / Output connections are through motherboard. AS2018 has six channels per
module and may be programmed to select two channels to six channels through
jumpers. Each AS2018 provides excitation voltage through a biasing network for six
Electrodes. The intelligence from these Electrodes are further processed to indicate
water / steam. Each individual channel consists of the following:
A) Precision rectifier and filter for processing the signal from the Electrode. The
converted Signal is then fed to the comparator.
B) Each Comparator has a Threshold and Hysterisis. The comparator monitors the
signal level and depending on the values of the Electrode resistance encountered,
it provides either logical 0 or logical 1 output, corresponding to steam or water
status.
C) All the water and steam information from this module are communicated through a
common bus structure on the motherboard printed circuit to all other modules.
D) Another comparator detects any Open / short fault condition of cable / Electrodes. If
so, Electrode fault signal for further processing is generated.
E) Generation of AC excitation failure fault (Clock fault) in case of oscillator failure

through watchdog circuit.
F) Auto simulation drivers (relays) to check the system healthiness for steam / water
status, simulated from Micro controller module - MC2018.
DISPLAY DRIVER - DD2018:
The Display driver DD2018 is powered from the motherboard with 12V DC. All
input / output connections are through the motherboard. The DD2018 drives display
LEDs - Red / Green / Yellow at LOCAL and display units located at UCB / Fireman’s
floor, based on Water / Steam / Fault information from the status bus. One module
caters to two display units with a maximum of 18 ports. The number of output drives
selected through jumpers can be 8, 10,12,14, 16 and 18.
RELAY DRIVER - RD2018:
The Relay driver RD2018 is powered from motherboard with +12V DC. All Input
/ Output connections are through motherboard. RD2018 may be programmed for
channels viz. 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 /18 with jumper connection. RD2018 houses 7
Relays and they are intended for the following functions:
A. To initiate validated High & Low Trip:- 2 out of 3 logic is used to initiate a trip
signal. If 'N'th (Maximum port number can be 18 -1 say 17) port is opted for High
Trip then (N-1), N & (N+1) known as Steam ports have to be selected through
jumpers. Similarly if 'n' th (Minimum port number can be 1+1 say 2) port is opted
for Low Trip then (n-1), n & (n+1) known as Water ports have to be selected
through jumpers. When the water in the pressure vessel reaches the steam
ports and any two steam ports vote for presence of water then a High Trip is
generated with a time delay. Similarly when the steam in the pressure vessel
reaches the water ports and any two water ports vote for presence of steam
then a Low Trip is generated with time delay.
B. To initiate High & Low Alarm:- Similar to Trip, except 2 out of 3 logic and
without time delay. The port (range) selectable for Low & High alarms is
between 3 & 16, selected through jumpers.
C. Fault bus viz. System Fault and Electrode Fault driven by AS2018 / MC2018 /
MB2018 triggers the respective fault relay and the fault LED when a fault
conditions exists.
NOTE: TRIP AND ALARM LEVELS ARE FACTORY SET. HENCE JUMBER
SELECTION SHALL NOT BE DISTURBED AT SITE.
MICRO CONTROLLER (MC2018):

The Micro controller MC2018 is powered from motherboard with +12V DC. All
Input / Output connections are through motherboard. MC2018 may be programmed for
channels viz. 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18 with jumper connection. This module does
validation checks on the Electrode inputs. This module gives 4 – 20 mA DC current
output corresponding to water level. Water above steam and steam below water are
invalid conditions which are detected by this module. In such case the current output is
forced to 4 mA level. Once the fault is cleared, the current output will automatically go
to the value determined by the level of water. RS 232 C outputs are also generated,
which gives information on level of water, trip / alarm status etc. This output can be
used to interface with DDCMIS. Auto simulation signal is generated to drive the relay
drivers housed in the AS2018 modules. Watch dog timer circuit interrogates the CPU
at regular intervals and flashes the ‘CPU OK’ LED in the front facia. This LED will be
off, if CPU failure occurs.
POWER SUPPLY MODULE (PS2018):
The DC to DC converter unit (24 V DC input supply) generate 12 V DC regulated

output. This regulated output feeds power to all the modules. Two such modules are
used for redundancy, so that even if one power supply fails, other power supply takes
over automatically & instantaneously, through Auctioneering diodes provided in Power
supply motherboard. Input 24V DC power supply to DC- DC convertor is connected to
terminals provided in the power supply motherboard. Regulated +12 V DC output is
fed to the system motherboard for feeding power to various functional modules.
SECTION 4
TROUBLE SHOOTING PROCEDURES
WARNING: 24V DC voltage is present on this Equipment when power is

connected. Be cautious when the front door is open and power is 'ON'
Trouble shooting procedure is intended to help the user to identify the nature of
problem from a set of defined elimination process.
Also this procedure helps to eliminate minor problems such as loose contacts,
blown fuse, blown LED etc., In case of PCB defects, it is not recommended to correct
at site. Faulty PCBs may be sent to BHEL / Trichy for rectification.
Faults may be diagnosed from the following flow charts and from the block
diagrams. Power supply must be switched off while replacing any module. Dangerous
supply voltages are present in the relay driver module ‘D’ Connector. Precautions must
be observed while handling RD2018.
If a module or power supply is found to be defective, it is preferable to replace

it, with a new one and not to attempt local repair.
While in operation, a simple test to determine correct operation of the system is

as follows:
a. On channels indicating ‘Steam’ - Short circuit one end of Electrode to vessel, the
display should change to water.
b. On channels indicating ‘Water’ disconnect the lead from the Electrode, the display
should change to steam.
Flow Charts:
Trouble Shooting Flow Charts for the following conditions are shown in the
following pages.
(i) Fault conditions indicated by display Units (Sketch - A)
(ii) Water above Steam Condition (Sketch - B)
(iii) Steam below Water Condition (Sketch - C)

SECTION 7
INSTALLATION DETAILS
NOTICE: Follow the instruction
INSTALLATION OF PRESSURE VESSEL
The vessel is delivered with four isolation valves and two Drain / Vent Valves.
All 8 / 10 / 12 /14 / 16 / 18 electrode ports have blanking plugs fitted that should not be
removed until later, when the electrodes are fitted. The Pressure Vessel is delivered
complete with 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18 electrodes and 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18 Metaflex
gaskets. These are fitted immediately prior to electrical pre-commissioning. It is
essential that electrodes are NOT fitted until acid and steam purging has been
completed. The Pressure Vessel is provided with lifting eyes at its upper end to
support its weight from the superstructure.
Before drawing the Pressure Vessel from store the following points must be
checked.
• Ensure that access to work on this part of the plant is clear and that the Vessel
Isolating Valves have been fitted to the steam and Water connections on the Drum
and are ready to have the Pressure Vessel welded to them.
• Check that items of hardware required for supporting the Pressure Vessel are
available and that the location of suspension points on the superstructure has been
confirmed to the site requirement.
• It should be noted that all joints in pipe work must be welded, tested and inspected
in accordance with the standard welding procedure.
The steam and water connections on the Pressure Vessel have to be aligned in
the vertical plane with the steam and water connections provided on the Boiler Drum
ends and welded to those connections. The Steam and Water connections on the
drum have been set to position the Pressure Vessel at the correct level when they are
welded in place. However, due to the length of the connecting pipe work, these could
be offset and care must be exercised to ensure that they are not allowed to take the
unsupported weight of the vessel. Bearing this in mind, installation should commence
with the attachment of the vessel supports to the superstructure. The Pressure Vessel
may then be attached to the supports that will carry the weight of the vessel and allow
it to be accurately aligned with the drum steam and water connections before and
during the welding operation. After welding to the connecting pipe work and fitting
Drain pipe work is complete, a further check for level should be carried out and
adjustments made, if necessary.
NOTE: The water connection to the Pressure Vessel must be lagged. The
steam connection should NOT be lagged within the last 1.5m from the Pressure
Vessel. The body of the Pressure Vessel itself must NOT be lagged.
When the installation of the Pressure Vessel has been completed, precautions
must be taken to protect it against damage during the installation of adjacent plant
equipment / pipe work etc.

INSTALLATION OF ASCERTOR CABINET
The Ascertor Cabinet is to be sited at Drum Level. Ensure by examining the

internals that the correct unit is drawn from store that it is undamaged and in a suitable
condition for installation to start. The unit is to be wired to the Pressure Vessel and is
to be positioned so that the length of cabling connecting it to its Pressure Vessel does
not exceed 15 meters (appx).
Before drawing Ascertor Cabinet from store, the following points should be
checked:
• That the exact position for installation has been determined.
• Access to work on that part of the plant is clear.
• Lifting tackle and adequate suitable layout are available to raise the unit to its
position at Drum Level.
The Ascertor Cabinet is provided with fixing holes in the rear vertical face for
bolting it to the wall or suitable support structure. Transport Ascertor Cabinet to
location. Bolt and position carefully on prepared surface. Fix using bolts, nuts and
washers or equivalent fastenings. When the unit has been positioned and bolted in
place, adequate precautions must be taken to ensure that it is protected against
accidental damage during the installation of adjacent plant / equipment and pipe work
or the completion of any local building work.
UNIT CONTROL ROOM DISPLAY UNIT

The installation of the Display Unit in the Central Control Room will be carried
out by other contractors, along with other UCR equipment as and when required. The
display cutout details are provided on Drawing No. 3-97-088-11914.
The method of fitting is as follows:

• Remove top and bottom clamping plates by removing holding screws.
• Insert the display to the cutout hole in Control Room Desk or Panel.
• Re-fit the clamping plates, making certain that they hold the display rigidly to the
Control Desk or Panel.
• Connect cable to appropriate connections.
INSPECTION OF MECHANICAL INSTALLATION WORK
When the mechanical installation work has been completed, the Contractor
must be advised so that his site surveillance staff may inspect the work and equipment
before releasing it for electrical work and cabling.
CABLING - PRESSURE VESSEL TO ASCERTOR CABINET

Drawing 3-97-088-12064&12067 shows details of connections between the

Pressure Vessel and Ascertor Cabinet at the Boiler Drum level. This wiring is to be
carried out using P.T.F.E insulated, 10 pair 0.6 sq.mm special cable supplied with the
system. These are terminated, at the electrode end with crimp-ring terminals and at
the Ascertor Cabinet end with crimp pins. The conductors should be identified with
suitably marked ferrules at each end.
The cables from each electrode of the Pressure Vessel must be grouped
together and laced with heat resistant lacing thread, or tie wraps, to form a loom
throughout their length. The loom must be securely cleated where it leaves the vessel
and shall be supported by and cleated to the perforated cable tray throughout its length
to the Ascertor Cabinet. The cables from the vessels, where it enters the base of the
Ascertor Cabinet, must pass through glands provided. The wiring within the Cabinet is
run neatly and terminated as prescribed above (crimp pins).
Before commencing this work check:
• That access to work on this part of the plant is clear.
• That the Ascertor Cabinet and Pressure Vessel are ready for cabling
• That all the materials to be erected are available.

All the above work carried out by the Electrical Contractor shall be subject to
inspection for workmanship and accuracy by an appropriate authority.
INSPECTION OF INSTALLATION PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING

When all the installation and cabling work called for in this specification has
been completed, the commissioning engineer must be advised so that arrangements
may be made for him to inspect the installation prior to pre-commissioning tests being
carried out after the electrodes have been fitted under his supervision.
ASSEMBLY OF ELECTRODES IN THE PRESSURE VESSEL
This work should be carried out immediately prior to the electrical pre-
commissioning of the complete system. This consists of removing specified blanking
plugs and Metaflex gaskets and replacing them with the electrodes and new Metaflex
gaskets.
Before starting on this work, the following points must be checked:
• Ensure that access to work on this part of the plant is clear and that the Pressure
Vessel has been fitted and is ready to be worked on.
• Check that hydraulic testing, acid cleaning and steam purging have been carried
out.
• The Vessel Isolating Valves must be CLOSED and the drain / vent valves
OPENED.
NOTE:- A suitable M19 socket spanner is required for removal of the blanking
plugs and fitting of the electrodes. This must be fitted with an extension to clear the
electrical terminal end at the top of the electrode being fitted.
The electrode positions on the vessel are protected by two hinged guards,
which must be opened to gain access to the electrodes. Each electrode or blanking
plug is held in the wall of the vessel by a clamping plate, which is secured by four M19
studs, nuts, and washers. When the nuts are removed, the clamping plate, blanking
plug and Metaflex gasket may be withdrawn. The blanking plug and old Metaflex
gasket must be discarded and replaced by the electrode and a new Metaflex gasket.
The clamping plate and four washers are then replaced and the nuts
assembled finger tight. Using the socket spanner, tighten the nuts progressively, a
quarter turn each, until there is NO gap visible anywhere between the inside face of the
Clamping Plate and the machined face of the Pressure Vessel. Care must be
exercised to prevent damage to the electrode when tightening the nuts, THE
MAXIMUM torque to be applied to the nuts in order to close the gap referred to is 110
Nm (80lb ft). Normally 70Nm (50lb ft) is sufficient. Refer to the instruction sheet issued
with each electrode. Care should be taken when attaching the prepared PFTE cable
ends to avoid mechanical damage to the electrode.
NOTE: For scope and size of cable, refer “Scope and cabling diagram”

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL
So far as the valves and pipe work to the pressure vessels are concerned both
regular maintenance and repair work should follow existing site practice. No regular
maintenance on the vessels, or electrodes is required, except as detailed below.
DAILY CHECKS
Check for steam leaks at the vessel electrodes and gaskets.
MONTHLY CHECKS
Inspect the pressure vessels, checking that the WATER pipe lagging is secure
and that the vessels and STEAM pipes are NOT lagged. Blow or brush off gently any
large accumulations of pulverized fuel dust or fly ash on the external insulators of the
electrodes. Check that electrode connections are tight and the leads are intact.
Inspect all electronic units to see that covers are properly in place and secured.
ANNUAL OVERHAUL
To avoid mechanical damage to the vessels, electrodes and electrode wiring

due to other work, which may be required at drum level, should be protected by
temporary shielding. The vessels should be drained, but need not be isolated from the
cold empty drum. After other works has been completed and the temporary protection
removed, check that no visible damage has occurred to electrodes and leads, and that
the electrode connections are tight and free of dust. The drains should be closed and
the isolation valves left open immediately before the hydraulic pressure test on the
drum, so that the vessels with their electrodes can be included in this test. Any
electrodes showing signs of leakage should be replaced immediately after this test, the
vessels should again be drained until required for service (this is to prevent the
accumulation of sludge in the vessels.).

Front door of the Ascertor cabinet should be opened, all terminal screws
checked for tightness, all circuit boards shall be checked to ensure that they are firmly
plugged into their sockets. Any large accumulation of dust if found, brushed out gently
with a soft brush (a small clean paint brush is recommended). The door shall be
closed and locked. The operation of the equipment can be checked using electrode
simulator. No other work should be done unless a fault is shown to be necessary
during test, more faults are likely to be caused by excessive maintenance than by the
normal operation of the equipment. If any electrode is replaced the Metaflex gasket
MUST also be replaced.
PRESSURE PARTS
With any water/steam detection gauge, even a very small leak anywhere on the
detection device or its connections will cause error, as also can a partial blockage.
Except for an extremely severe leak either a leak or blockage, whether on the steam or
the water side of the device or its connections, will cause the detector to give incorrect
readings. It should be noted that the EWLI BHELVISION pressure vessel thermal
design is such that density errors in water level indication (due to pressure vessel
water columns being at a lower temperature than boiler drum water temperature) are
reduced to less than 25mm for the temperatures and pressures specified. This is
achieved by stimulating condensate (by omitting lagging on the vessel steam pipe flow
in the upper part of the vessel) the heat thus released is conducted to the water
column in the lower part of the vessel. The flow of condensate itself also maintains the
temperature of the water column.
ELECTRODE AND ELECTRODE SEAL LEAKS
The distinction between seal and electrode leaks is often difficult to determine
prior to removal of the electrode, unless the leak is small. Steam wisps which appear
to emanate between the outside of the electrode body and the bore of the gland
clamping plate are indicative of a seal leak, whereas steam appearing through the
external ceramic insulator (which is only a spacer and is not intended to be pressure
resistant) suggests that the electrode itself is faulty. Even if the electrode is in water,
the water temperature in an operating detection device will cause the water to flash off
to steam as atmosphere is reached.
DO NOT attempt to cure a seal leak by over tightening the gland clamping plate
nuts. The base of the gland clamping plate seats on to a land in the vessel itself and
the most probable fault lies in damage to the Metaflex sealing washer. The correct
degree of compression on this washer is inherent in the depth of the recess below the
land, which accepts the washer with the gland clamping plate seated on the land.
Tightening beyond this point will only cause damage to the studs or the nuts.
The correct procedure for repairing either a seal or a failed electrode is to

isolate and drain the vessel. Remove the electrode lead and the knurled nut
completely from the electrode, remove the gland clamping plate and remove the
electrode complete with its sealing washer. Examination of these items may give a
more positive identification of the cause of the leak. Unless it can definitely established
however, that the electrode was not the cause, it is advisable to fit a new electrode at
this stage. To assist in identification, a seal leak may be cause either by:
• Incorrect centering of the sealing washer on the electrode prior to its insertion in the
vessel, so that it catches on the edge of the land and is distorted by subsequent
tightening of the clamping plate nuts, even if in the process it eventually enters the
recess.
• Failure on a previous occasion to remove the old washer or all the broken parts
thereof, from the recess before inserting the present washer and electrode.
• Re using an old and already previously compressed washer instead of a new one,
• Failing to ensure that the land and the recess were clean and undistorted.
Before reinserting an electrode, check that an old washer or part of has not
been wedged in the recess and that the land is not obstructed. A small Electrode with
a L shaped pointed end, could be used to dislodge it by hooking the pointed end into
the v - shaped groove in the gasket, NOT between the gasket and the seat. In
addition, check that the gland clamping plate and studs are not distorted.
If a serious “blow” occurs, immediate attention is required. Ensure that the

vessel is ISOLATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (at least within a few hours), otherwise
electrode port seat erosion may necessitate removal of the vessel. Site machining of
the pressure vessel is possible and satisfactory results are usually obtained; however,
it is more difficult to determine accurately the depth of the cut.
When a seat is cut, the corresponding amount of metal must be removed from
the face of the clamping plate flange to ensure that the gasket is correctly compressed.
SAFETY
WARNING: 24 V DC voltage is present on this Equipment when power

is connected. Be cautious when the front door is open and power is 'ON'
• PROCEED ONLY WITH A VALID `PERMIT TO WORK’
• Ensure that tripping is disabled and that operators expect erroneous indications or
alarms.
• Ensure that you know the valve positions and other procedures BEFORE working
on the pressure vessel.
• Wear industrial gloves to change electrodes.
• Replace convention chimney electrode covers before pressurising vessel.
VESSEL ISOLATION
After obtaining authority to isolate the vessel:
• Close off the steam and water isolating valves nearest to pressure vessel.
• Close off the steam and water isolating valves nearest to boiler drum.
• Open drain & vent valves and proceeds with work required.
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING ELECTRODES AND METAFLEX GASKETS
There is no need to switch off the EWLI - BHELVISION electronic equipment for
this procedure. Carry out the isolation and draining procedure as follows:
• Open the electrode cover guard, taking care to avoid knocking the electrodes.
• Remove only one electrode at a time (avoids risk of incorrect reconnection)
• Remove the four nuts, washers and clamping plate, extract the electrode and the
gasket carefully without damage to seat face.
• Inspect the vessel seat, removing any remnants of old gasket and taking care not
to damage the seat.
• Apply a high temperature, copper / lead bearing grease to the studs to reduce
contact friction between nuts, studs and washer, so avoiding excessive loading on
the studs and possible shearing.
• Fit a new gasket to the electrode and carefully insert into the electrode port. Ensure
that the gasket is located correctly, replace the clamping plate, washers and nuts,
and TIGHTEN THE NUTS EVENLY USING A TORQUE WRENCH UNTIL THE BOTTOM
FACE OF THE CLAMPING PLATE MEETS THE CORRESPONDING FACE OF THE
PRESSURE VESSEL. 70Nm (50lb ft) is usually sufficient. Max. Limit 110Nm (80lb ft)
• Replace the electrical lead(s) and guard. Re-commission as stated below.
VESSEL COMMISSIONING OR RECOMMISSIONING
The method given allows the vessel to fill slowly with condensate from the
steam leg through a crack opened steam valve and for warming to continue at a
controlled rate as the water is forced back through the crack opened water valve by the
few inches of differential water pressure which exists when the steam valves are
opened.
• Notify the unit operator of the intention to commission the vessel, in accordance
with recognised procedures.
• Check that the electrode guard is in place.
• Close drain & vent valves.
• Open water and steam isolating valves nearest to boiler drum.
• Crack opens the isolating steam valve nearest to the pressure vessel. Check with
the unit operator that the vessel slowly fills with condensate (about 10 -15 minutes).
• Crack opens the isolating water valve nearest to the pressure vessel. Check with
unit operator that the water level is falling to approximately normal water level.
• Open water valves fully.

BHELVISION ELECTRODE SIMULATOR

GENERAL :
The BHELVISION Electrode Simulator (BES) can be connected to the EWLI

BHELVISION - 20M equipment to simulate the working of 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18
electrodes mounted in a pressure vessel. 18 switches, one for each electrode, can be
set individually to provide a simulated WATER or STEAM condition at any electrode
level.
The switches are numbered 1 to 18, where 1 corresponds to the lowest level
electrodes and 18 to the highest level electrode. A general view of the Electrode
Simulator is shown in Fig. - 10.1
The 18 switch circuits can be considered as two groups, one group comprising
the ODD channel circuits, and the other the EVEN channel circuits. Each group has its
own earth connection, which is common to all switches in that group. The circuit
diagram for the BHELVISION Electrode Simulator (BES) is shown in Fig. 10.2
Each switch circuit consists of a 2-position switch (STEAM / WATER) and two
resistors (1Meg ohm and 270K ohm) connected so that the resistance between the
common earth and the numbered wire connection for that switch will simulate a
WATER or STEAM condition, depending upon the switch setting.
Connection for the BES is by means of a 3-metre long (approx) cable. Cable
with 25 pin ‘D’ connector shall be plugged to Simulator. 3 Nos. of 15 pin 'D' connectors
at the other end will be plugged on to the system mother board after removing the male
‘D’ connector whose cable is connected to the terminal blocks meant for connecting to
electrodes.
OPERATION:

The BES shall be electrically linked by connecting the 25pin ‘D’ connector (BES
and Ascertor cabinet respectively). Pressure vessel shall be isolated from process by
closing water and steam isolation valves. Also, empty the pressure vessel in full by
opening the drain / vent valves.
Now the EWLI - BHELVISION system is ready for simulation. Toggling the
switches between Water and Steam position will simulate the condition of Water and
Steam respectively, for individual electrodes numbered 1 to 12 / 18 from bottom
to top.
In a 16 Port system by operating the 16 switches (1 to 16) the
following shall be simulated and tested.

FACE CUTTER
INTRODUCTION
The face cutter is used to repair damaged electrode port seats. Damage
may occur either due to a leaking electrode gasket or due to the sealing gasket
being incorrectly removed. If the leak is allowed to continue, the damage will
become too severe for effective repair. Repair is possible by machining the seat
to produce a clean sealing face. Positioning of the face cutter has shown in fig.
10.3
The following instructions enable the electrode port to be effectively repaired.
• Remove electrode and gasket as per the instruction briefed earlier.
• Whenever the electrode is changed (or) taken out for inspection, the gasket
shall be replaced with a new one. The gasket can be removed with the help
of gasket remover shown in fig. 10.7.
• Carefully examine the damaged seat and assess whether the damage is too
severe to be remedied by site machining. This decision must be based
on judgement, but as a guide, the minimum amount of metal should be
removed from the seat to enable a clean seating face to be produced. The
maximum that may be removed is 1.15mm.
NOTE: The stated maximum, 1.15mm, is the total amount of metal that
can be removed from any one seat during the lifetime of the vessel. This is not
the amount than can be removed at each machining. If it is necessary to
remove more metal from a seat than this stated maximum, guidance first be
sought from BHEL - TRICHY.
• Using a depth gauge or depth micrometer, measure the depth of the
electrode port and compare it with the dimension stated in Fig. 10.4
NOTE: If the depth of the electrode port exceeds the dimension stated
in Fig.10.4 + 1.15mm, guidance must be sought from BHEL - TRICHY
before proceeding with the machining operation.
Inspect the face cutting tool Fig. 10.6 to ensure that the teeth of the cutter
are in good order. Attempting to machine an electrode seat using a cutter with a
damaged tooth may well result in worse damage to the electrode seat.
At all times during this operation, great care must be taken that the
minimum amount of material is allowed to fall through the electrode port into the
body of Pressure Vessel.
MACHINING
• Insert the cutter into the electrode port with the shaft protruding outwards,
ensuring that it is seated properly.
• Fit the guide plate over the shaft of the cutter and locate it over the four studs
in the body of the vessel.
• Fit the nuts and washers onto the studs and tighten finger tight.
• Attach a spanner or socket wrench (11mm) size to the square section, drive
end, of the cutter.
• Turn the cutting tool gently in a clockwise direction. As the cutter turns, a
degree of “feel” is required to ensure that the cutter is making the correct
depth of cut. If the four securing nuts are not sufficiently tight, the cutting face
of the tool will skim across the electrode seat and not remove any metal.
The nuts should then be tightened gently until it is felt that the correct cut is
being made. If the four securing nuts are over tight, the cutting teeth of the
tool will bite too deeply into the electrode seat and the cutter will “bind up”. In
this instance, the four securing nuts should be slackened until it is felt that the
correct cut is being made.
• At regular intervals, the nuts, washers, guide plate and cutter should be
removed and the electrode seat examined to check progress of the repair
operation.
• If the seat is still scored, reassemble the tool and continue the operation until,
when examining the seat unmarked, bright metal shows.
• At this point, the operation is discontinued and the electrode port thoroughly
cleaned out to remove any swarf. Ensure that the swarf is removed
outwardly and not into the vessel.
• The depth of the electrode port should now be measured and the difference
between this and the measurement shown in Fig. 10.4 must be less than
1.15mm
• The difference calculated as above has now to be machined off the face of
the electrode clamp plate. The clamp plate must have a raised face
machined on it as shown in Fig. 10.5
• The vessel interior must be cleaned of any foreign material by using air or by
washing through with water with the drain valves open until the vessel body is
clear of metal debris.
MARKING AND RE-ASSEMBLY
The electrode clamping plate and the electrode port, which have just been
machined, must both be stamped with a unique identification mark. This is due
to the fact that this electrode clamp plate will only provide the required seal when
used in this electrode port.
• Re-assemble the electrode into the pressure vessel, taking care to use a new
Metaflex gasket.
• Re-commission the vessel.
TORQUE WRENCH
Torque range: 30 to 150 Nm
PREPARING TO USE THE TORQUE WRENCH
• Check that the ratchet direction is correct.
• Select the correct size of 1/4”, 3/8” or 1/2” socket and push it onto the square.
• Tighten the nut until the tool ‘clicks’ and is felt to ‘give’ slightly. STOP pulling
immediately.
• The tool will automatically re-set itself when hand pressure is relaxed, ready
for the next tightening cycle.
DO’S AND DONT’S
Do set the spanner at a lower torque (3/4 of maximum) than required: tighten
all nuts and re-set to final figure and tighten again.
Do pull tool squarely from the center of the handle.
Do refer to the maker’s handbook, or recognised repair manual for correct

torque setting.
Do see that bolt threads are clean and lightly oiled before torque tightening.
Don’t adjust the tool either above the maximum on the scale or below the
minimum.
Don’t snatch the tool when tightening, a smooth continuous pull gives
more accurate results.
Don’t put oil through the hole in the body tube, or adjust the screw beneath it.
ACCIDENT PREVENTION
• A torque wrench is a precision tool for the accurate tightening of nuts and bolts.
It should never be used as a lever to undo frozen nuts.
• When tightening or loosening a nut it is possible that something might break or

slip. Always stand firmly with one foot well in front of the other and pull the
torque wrench towards you.
• Make sure that the socket is the correct size to fit the nut and in good condition.
• Use an extension driver between the wrench and the socket if there is any
danger of scrapping your knuckles due to a sudden release. Accidents can
occur using the simplest tools. So, “BE SAFETY CONSCIOUS.”
