 The auxiliary piping from auxiliary system will be divided into two to each adjacent
boiler header (10LBG11AC001 and 002) at the front of the boiler. Each auxiliary steam
line (10LBG11BR001 and 10LBG12BR001) before the adjacent boiler headers is
equipped with the one stop valve and one check valve. In order to prevent the
auxiliary steam to condense during the first usage, there is a drain piping with a steam
trap (10LBG23AA504). There are 20 pipes (totally 40) from each adjacent boiler header
which dimension is DN32 to waterwall lower headers around, each pipe has one
manual stop valve, all of these valves are centralized arrangement closed to adjacent
boiler header.
 The benefits of using boiler auxiliary warming system during the boiler cold start-up
are well proven.

0.98~1.3MPa will be induced to waterwall lower headers from the start-up boiler
through the auxiliary steam header until which 0.49MPa of the boiler could be
contributed. The temperature is approximately saturated, about 156℃. At that time,
the ignition condition is satisfied, this auxiliary warming steam should be cut and the
igniting process should be started.
Boiler auxiliary warming system
VA1-BWBC-01LBG-M-M1A-PID-0001
 System design specification
 The actual steam consumption for the auxiliary warming system is not very critical, it
depends on the drum metal temperature rising rate control which should be less than
1.5℃/min and the boiler drum up/down metal temperature discrepancy should be
complied by following chart. The different start-up conditions and operations will
cause different steam consumption.
 Because this warming system is only used before the boiler ignition, the steam
consumption should be considered excluding the start-up boiler design capacity. The
totally steam consumption should be about 135t. The recommended flow for auxiliary
warming system is about 35t/h with the heating time about 4 hours, 45t/h with the
heating time about 3hours. During the auxiliary warming system operation time, it is
after boiler water filling, there will be no any other big auxiliary steam consumers,
only the HFO heat tracing or HFO heating if necessary. So the start-up boiler capacity
(55t/h) is adequate to support this warming system.
 During another case that if one boiler needs to do the cold start-up but the other one
is still in operation, the auxiliary steam this warming system is coming from the
extraction steam from the operating boiler.

don’t go to the stopped fans and go to the flame detectors. The pressure of
cooling air is stabled at range of 5.6Kpa ~ 6.0 Kpa.
 The group of coal burners
Each group of coal burner has one tertiary air shut off damper actuator, one
secondary air executive component, one sectional air shut off damper actuator
and two thermocouples. There are 24 group coal burners for each boiler, 12 of
which are arranged at front wall and other 12 are arranged at rear wall.
 The group of HFO burner
Each group of HFO burner has one oil lance, one lighter lances and one activate
spark. There are 24 group HFO burners for each boiler, 12 of which are arranged
at front wall and other 12 are arranged at rear wall.

 The secondary air system
 The secondary air from the forced draft fans is heated in the secondary section of air-preheaters.
After going through air-preheaters, there is connecting piping between the hot secondary air piping
of two sides. This connecting piping is used to balance the pressure of each side. Then, the main
hot secondary air piping are separate to four balance at each side and the hot secondary air is
distributed to different windboxs to maintain burning. Each balance has a secondary air adjusting
damper and air flow measuring device which are used for controlling the flow of hot secondary air.
 Open windbox is adopted in this boiler, which are located above and below front arch and rear
arch, the size of the windbox is 3.84m×32.82m×7.008m(height × width × depth, upper windbox)
and 2.39m×32.82m×2.97m(height × width × depth, lower windbox). Burner feeding air enters the
upper windbox, and staging air enters the lower windbox. The open windbox is designed to be able
to adjust the air distribution for combustion optimization, and makes the burner feeding air
matching with coal flow from the coupled pulverizer, the air flow amount of burner feeding air and
staging air can be adjusted by the windbox inlet damper. To measure accurate flow amount,
measuring device is mounted at the upstream of each damper. Burner feeding air damper and
staging air damper can regulate the air amount as well as the staging air ratio (above arch air to
below arch air ratio).

 System design specification
 Boiler gas testing points system
 The boiler adopt the W shaped flame down shot combustion. Fuel and air
sufficiently mix and combust in the furnace. Amount of hot flue is released.
Hot gas from the furnace passes successively across the secondary
superheater and the pendant reheater located in the pendant convection
pass out of the high radiant heated transfer zone of the furnace. The gas
turns downward and crosses the horizontal primary superheater, reheater
and economizer, and the gas passes through the SCR system and then enters
into the air heater.
 The boiler is running under balanced-draft air system. The boiler furnace is
operated under negative pressure condition. The value of negative pressure
will impact the boiler efficiency and affect boiler safe running. The stable
design pressure is ±5.8kPa, and the instant design pressure is ±8.7kPa.
During the normal operation, the furnace pressure would fluctuate between
-250Pa to +125Pa. Pressure switches and pressure transmitters are installed
to protect boiler according to NFPA 85. Recommended interlocks on the
furnace pressure interlocks and alarms action is follows:

 System design specification
 High-furnace pressure :
a. Alarm if furnace pressure exceed+500Pa;
b. Initiate master fuel trip if furnace pressure exceeds +1700Kpa for 5 seconds.
continue air flow and at least one FD fan and one ID fan in operation.
c. Trip all FD fans and master fuel trip if furnace pressure exceed +3250Pa for 2
seconds.
 Low-furnace pressure :
a. Alarm if furnace pressure lower than -750Pa;
b. Initiate master fuel trip if furnace pressure lower than -2500Kpa for 5 seconds.
c. Trip all FD fans and ID fans if furnace pressure lower than -3250Pa for 2 seconds.
 Boiler thermal probes
To monitor gas temperatures during the startup time to protect reheat system, it
should be extracted out when the testing temperature is higher than 538 degree C.

 System design specification
Besides the furnace negative pressure, there are also
other important data is required to monitor on line to
promise the boiler’s safe running. Furnace outlet gas
temperature and gas pressure test point , pressure
transmitters and thermocouples at outlet of each stage
of heating surface are set symmetry both on boiler left
and right side. If the flame center is deviate to one side,
it will course the heating deviation at the two sides. And
the heat absorb unbalance at two sides , it may course
the heating surface over heating during low load
conditions. Therefore, the gas temperature and gas
pressure are monitoring to judge the boiler combustion
condition and to judge the flame center is deviate or not.
