GUIDE SPECIFICATION FOR BURNER CONTROL SYSTEM

FOR NON COMPARTMENTED WINDBOX，PULVERIZED COAL FIRED BOILER
This guide specification is a basic technologic document to help guarantee a safe operation of
boiler, it is for application to a “W” flame boiler. It is the intent of this specification that the
control vendor furnish and place in commercial operation a complete system capable of
performing the functions described. This system shall meet the requirements of NFPA.

SECTION 1：SCOPE

Each boiler is equipped with direct firing system, six (6) ball pulverizers. And each pulverizer
supplies PC for four burners. Each boiler is equipped with twenty four (24) concentrated HALF-
PAX EI-XCL burners, which are located on boiler front arch and rear arch (each arch is arranged
by twelve burners). Each burner is equipped with a set of lighter (oil burner) locating inside the
secondary air sleeve, and each lighter is with pneumatic operated retractable device, which can be
remote controlled. Also each burner is equipped with coal flame detector and oil flame detector.
Boiler windbox consists of burner secondary air (over arch air) windbox and staging air (blew
arch air) windbox, both winboxes are non compartmented (open windbox). Each burner is
associated with a staging air pipe and a vent air nozzle, and each staging air pipe is split into two
staging air nozzles.

SECTION 2：FUEL-AIR EQUIPMENT

From the pulverizer , the pulverized coal is carried by primary or transport air through the coal
pipes to the burners. The PC-air flow enters furnace in two streams after concentrated, one of
them which contains 85%~90% PC and 50% PA enters furnace for igniting and burning through
burner nozzles, the other stream which contains 10%~15% PC and 50% PA enters furnace
through Vent Air nozzles. The primary air flow is measured and controlled on an individual
burner basis, with the primary air temperature being regulated by the mixing of hot and tempering
air flows.
Each pulverizer supplies four dual register burners, and each boiler is equipped with six (6) ball
pulverizers. And Coal line swing valves are located in each burner line to shut-off fuel flow to the
furnace, slide plate gates are located in vent air pipeline to shut-off vent air flow to the furnace.
The dual register burneris a limited turbulence controlled diffusion flame type designed to limit
the amount of air mixed with the fuel at the burner to that required to obtain stable ignition at the
burner throat．The remainder of the combustion air is introduced to the periphery of the burner
where it mixes with the fuel．The dual register burner，as its name implies，has two air
registers which are manually adjusted during initial firing to obtain desired fuel and air mixing in
the primary ignition zone.
Each concentrated dual register burner is equipped with a steam atomizing oil lighter. The
pneumatic operated retractors for the lighters are remotely operated drives.
lighter．The retractors for the lighters are the only remotely operated drives provided on the dual
register burner．
All of the burners supplied by a given pulverizer are enclosed in a separate windbox
compartmentwith the secondary air flow to each windbox compartment being individually
measured and controlled by dampers located at the inlet to the compartment．This allows the fuel
and air flow to each pulverizer group to be independently controlled, which is desirable from an
ignition and slagging standpoint．This also assists in the light-off of a cold unit，since the fuel-
air ratio at the burners being fired can be controlled independently of the continuous purge air
flow being admitted through idle compartments．
 PAGE 3 OF 17

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS BURNER CONTROLS 50-G14900-0

The secondary air flow to burner windbox (over arch air) and staging air windbox( below arch
air) is individually measured and controlled by dampers located at the inlet to the windbox. Thus
the above arch air to below arch air ratio can be adjusted to meet the air quantity required for
various coal and various operation method. The cylindrical sliding damper on each burner
enables independent adjustment of secondary air flow to each burner to get a uniform secondary
air distribution between in service burners, also the out of service burners can be cooled
appropriately.

SECTlON 3：GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The burner control system shall incorporate a continuous purge of the furnace to insure that the
boiler is free of any accumulation of combustibles for light-off and that the boiler will remain so
during operation．The burner control system shall also supervise the operation of the fuel-air
equipment associated with the pulverizer．It shall accept operator commands and if the required
permissives are met，perform the required operation. Equipment shall be continuously
monitored and any over deviation shall be alarmed while the system either corrects the deviation
or shuts down equipment as necessary to avoid hazardous furnace conditions or equipment
damage.
The system shall monitor the operation of the fuel equipment and if the equipment fails to
respond to commands from the burner control system，the equipment tripped status shall be set.
Indications shall be provided to allow the operator to determine the equipment level which
initiated a trip of fuel equipment. Tripped equipment shall be successfully shutdown before reset
of the trip is permitted. The status of the fuel-air equipment shall be displayed to the operator at
all times.

with the analog fuel control system to position and monitor devices for start-up and shutdown
which are normally modulated during on-line operation. The burner control system shall be
designed to operate reliably and to minimize the number of false trips which occur in order to
establish operator confidence in this system, such that the system will be maintained in service
and available to respond if hazardous conditions develop.
The term pulverizer group as used in this guide specification refers to the pulverizer, its
associated primary air systems, feeder, swing valves and burners(contains coal nozzle, vent air
nozzle and staging air nozzle). For control purposes, burners(contains coal nozzle, vent air nozzle
and staging air nozzle) associated with the pulverizer shall be divided as equally as possible into
two burner groups. Ball pulverizer is adopted in this project, half mill is associated with two
burners which are in a same burner group, the two burner groups associated with one pulverizer
are diagonally opposed, which are located separately on front arch and rear arch and are
symmetrical about the furnace centre line .

SECTION 4：OPERATING MODES

In the manual sequence control mode, the operator has the responsibility for initiating each step
in the start and stop sequences at the proper time and for positioning the modulating devices
controlled by the analog fuel and air control system．This system shall monitor the operator’s
progress and inhibit him from departing from the proper operating sequences．The manual
control mode does not include sequence timing functions other than for lighter and furnace purge
functions．The manual mode of control includes the basic supervisory interlocks，trips and
monitoring functions including proper positioning of functions controlled by the analog system.
In the automatic sequence control mode，the burner control system shall automatically place the
pulverizer group in service，or remove it from service on a single operator initiation to start or
stop that pulverizer group．In the automatic mode，start／stop sequences，including timing
between the steps，are superimposed over the manual mode. As such，all of the interlocking
and tripping functions that are part of the manual mode shall also be an integral part of the
automatic mode. A system with automatic sequence control shall，be capable of being
transferred between the automatic and manual modes at any time．

sequence.

SECTION 8：LIGHTER CONTROL

Each burner is equipped with a Class 1 lighter. The lighters associated with a pulverizer
group are divided into two lighter groups corresponding to the two burner groups. Each lighter
group will be controlled with a separate electro-pneumatic lighter control package. All of the
lighters associated with a pulverizer group shall normally be started or stopped at the same time.
However, each lighter group shall be independently monitored and tripped. Provisions shall be
included to allow sequential starting of the lighter groups to reduce lighter header pressure upsets
and to allow restarting of a tripped lighter group without having to shutdown an operating group.
The burner control shall provide a start lighter group command upon which the electro-
pneumatic control package will：

SECTION 9：PRIMARY AIR FLOW CONTROL

With common primary air fans, the burner control shall provide commands to open or close
the pulverizer group primary air flow control damper. This damper is normally controlled by the
combustion control system. With individual primary air fans, the burner control system will start
and stop these fans.
Permissives to start the primary air flow on a pulverizer group shall include the following：
1. Furnace firing permissives met.
2. At least one primary air fan and one primary air heater(s) running.
3. Cold air damper open and hot air damper closed.
4. At least one lighter group started.
5. Pulverizer seal air differential pressure above minimum.
Primary air flow shall be stopped if the boiler is tripped. The primary air flow shall be tripped
if flame monitoring is not in service and both lighter groups are not in service, primary air flow is
less than minimum, or the pulverizer group is tripped.
Minimum primary air flow is dependent on the specific P.C. system or contract. System
requirements include sufficient burner line and pulverizer throat velocities. Specific contract
requirements are determined by component design and the pulverizer／burner line. To protect
against fires and explosions，It is suggested that a 20 second, time-delayed trip occur for
primary air flows lower than 10％ below the minimum, and an instantaneous trip occur for
primary air flows lower than 15％below the minimum.
The hot and cold primary air control dampers are normally controlled by the combustion
control system to maintain pulverizer outlet coal-air temperature. The burner control system shall
provide commands to open and close the hot and cold air damper. The hot air damper shall be
closed and the cold air damper opened whenever the feeder is not operating.
Indications provided to the operator on the status of the primary air flow control shall

2. Primary air flow stopped.
3. Primary air flow tripped.
4. Primary air flow low.
5. Hot air damper closed and cold air damper open.
6. Pulverizer temperature control released to automatic.
 PAGE 11 OF 17

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS BURNER CONTROLS 50-G14900-0

SECTION 10：SECONDARY AIR FLOW CONTROL

Secondary air flow control shall normally be the responsibility of the combustion control
system. The burner control system shall provide outputs to the combustion control system to
establish the air flows required for furnace purge and pulverizer start-up and shutdown. During
operation at lower loads the burner control system shall avoid calling for operating burner air
flows which could reduce total boiler air flow below its minimum value. On a master fuel
trip，the burner control system shall avoid any conflict with the normal analog control of
secondary air flow.
Indications provided to the operator on the status of the secondary air flow control shall
include：
1. Secondary air flow control released to automatic (control damper on general duct of
burner secondary air and staging air control damper).
2. Secondary air flow at light-off (set burner cylindrical sliding damper at “light-off”,
staging air control damper at “firing”).
3. Secondary air flow released to cooling (burner cylindrical sliding damper and staging air
control damper).

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS BURNER CONTROLS 50-G14900-0

SECTION 11 ： BURNER LINE SWING VALVE AND SLIDE PLATE GATE ON VENT

AIR PIPE

The burners associated with a pulverizer group shall be divided into two burner groups. Each
burner is equipped with a swing valve and a slide plate gate on vent air pipe. Normally, it is not
recommended or should be avoided that only one end of the mill is operating. All of the swing
valves associated with a pulvenzer group and the slide plate gates on vent air pipe of relevant
burners shall normally be opened or closed at the same time. When the pulverizer is only with
one end operating, the swing valves and slide plate gate on vent air pipe in each burner group
shall be opened or closed at the same time. Provision shall be included to allow reopening of
swing valves and slide plate gate on vent air pipe on a tripped burner group if light-off conditions
are established.
A burner group's swing valves and slide plate gates on vent air pipe shall be closed if the boiler
is tripped, primary air flow is stopped or commanded to stop, the burner group is tripped, or
pulverizer group emergency stop is initiated.
Indications shall be provided to the operator on the status of the swing valves and slide plate
gates on vent air pipe. These shall include, but are not limited to:
1. Burner group swing valves and slide plate gates on vent air pipes open.
2. Burner group swing valves and slide plate gates on vent air pipes closed.
3. Burner group tripped.
Swing valve and slide plate gate on vent air pipe trips are shown in Figure 3.
Means shall be provided to disable individual burner line swing valves.

SECTION 12：PULVERIZER CONTROL

The pulverizer may be started if any swing valve is open, the pulverizer lube oil pump is
running and pulverizer lube oil pressure is greater than minimum. The pulverizer shall be stopped
if the boiler is tripped, the pulverizer group emergency stop is initiated or the primary air flow is
stopped or commanded to stop. The pulverizer will be tripped if all swing valves go closed or the
lube oil pump stops or lube oil pressure goes below minimum.
Indications provided to the operator on pulverizer status shall include：
1. Pulverizer running.
2. Pulverizer stopped.
3. Pulverizer tripped.
4. Pulverizer lube oil pump running.
5. Pulverizer lube oil pressure low.
6. Pulverizer seal air differential pressure low.
7. Other indications required by vendor.
Pulverizer trips are shown in Figure 3.
 PAGE 13 OF 17

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS BURNER CONTROLS 50-G14900-0

SECTION 13：FEEDER CONTROL

The feeder may be started if the coal feeder inlet and outlet gates are open, all enabled swing
valves on at least one end open, furnace firing permissives are met, coal is detected at the feeder
inlet , the feeder outlet is not plugged or other requirements from vendor. The feeder shall be
stopped if the boiler is tripped or the pulverizer is stopped or commanded to stop. The feeder
shall be tripped if the feeder outlet is plugged, feeder outlet gate open, either burner group is
tripped or has 2 or more swing valves closed, primary air flow is below minimum for 20 seconds
or feeder inlet gate not closed and no coal detected at the feeder inlet for 2 seconds or no coal
detected on the feeder belt for 20 seconds with the lighters not in service.
Indications provided to the operator on the status of the feeder control shall include:
1. Feeder running.
2. Feeder stopped.
3. Feeder tripped.
4. Feeder inlet gate not open.
5. Feeder outlet gate not open.
6. No coal detected at feeder inlet.
Coal feeder trips are shown in Figure 3.

SECTION 14：FLAME MONITORING

The burner control system shall minimize the possibility of developing hazardous furnace
conditions by shutting down fuel equipment on loss of ignition. It shall also minimize the number
of false trips which occur.
With a Class 1 lighter on each burner, it is necessary to discriminate between lighter and coal
flames at the burner. Therefore, two flame detectors are required per burner. These two detectors
shall detect respectively the lighter and coal flames at that burner reliably and shall discriminate
between flames at its burner and other burners in the furnace.
The burner control system shall divide the burners served by a pulverizer into two burner
groups with no trip action being taken on a single detector in either burner group showing no
flame, but it should alarm to remind the operator to deal with this. If two detectors in a burner
group show no flame, that burner group and the feeder shall be tripped with the other burner
group (half mill) served by the same pulverizer running (half mill running is not recommended
for long term). On loss of flame detection on two burners in the second burner group，the
pulverizer shall be stopped and fuel flow to the pulverizer group terminated by closing all swing
valves, and the relevant slide plate gates on vent air pipe should be closed too.
Before admitting main fuel to a burner, an ignition source must be present at the burner. The
burner control system shall require flame from the lighters be detected at all burners of at least
one burner group before primary air flow, pulverizer and feeder serving those burners may be
started. Once the feeder is started, the loss of flame on two burners in a group is necessary to trip
the lighters associated with that burner group.
 PAGE 14 OF 17

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS BURNER CONTROLS 50-G14900-0

A flame detector maintenance mode shall be included to allow work to be done on the flame
detectors without creating nuisance trips or having to completely defeat the protection provided
by the system. In this mode, a burner group shall not be tripped unless all detectors in the group
show no flame. This mode shall be selected by a switch located in the logic cabinets.
Flame monitoring requirements are shown in the trip sequence diagram shown in Figure 3.
Indication of the status of each flame detector shall be provided to the operator.

SECTION 15：INTERFACE WITH COMBUSTION CONTROL SYSTEM

The burner control system shall interface with the combustion control system to position
devices for start-up and shutdown which are normally modulated during on-line operation. This
interface shall be designed such that the loss of power in one system does not interfere with the
proper operation of the other system.
Signals from the burner control system to the combustion control system shall include, but
are not limited to:
1. Close primary air control damper.
2. Allow secondary air flow (burner cylindrical sliding damper) to burner cooling value.
3. Set secondary air flow (burner cylindrical sliding damper) to light-off value.
4. Close hot air damper and open cold air damper.
5. Set pulverizer demand to light-off value.
