IS CHANCE OF ECONOMISER TUBE STARVATION

Starvation may occur during the start-up of

boiler from cold condition.

there will not be any flow from the economiser

tubes till substantial amount of continuous
steam generation starts in the boiler.

This leads to the water in economiser tubes

get evaporated and move out of tubes thereby
resulting in starvation.
 IS CHANCE OF ECONOMISER TUBE STARVATION

To prevent this, the boilers will have a

economiser recirculation system.
In this a tapping from the downcomer
with the NRV end isolating valve will be
connected to economizer inlet.
 IS CHANCE OF ECONOMISER TUBE STARVATION

Keeping this line open during light-up ensures

circulation of water through the economiser
thereby avoiding starvation.

This re-circulation line must be closed once

normal feeding to economiser is started
otherwise the feed water will bypass the
economiser and flow directly to downcomer
through recirculation line resulting starvation
of economiser.
