WRITE-UP ON FLY ASH EVACUATION SYTEM

The system consists of the following components :-

BRANCHES:
These are the suction lines to which every ash hopper is connected. Each branch is
equipped with a segregating valve used for excluding that branch. Each hopper is connected to
the branch through an ash intake valve. Both segregating valve and the ash intake valve are
pneumatically operated. There is an air intake valve in the upstream of each branch suitably
calibrated to maintain the vacuum set, when no ash intake valve is open in the selected branch.
CONTINUOUS OPERATING CYCLONE:
This is to separate the ash transported by the air flow and discharge them in the silo.
Around 90% of the ash is collected through cyclone. Discharge system of cyclone is of two
discharge type, pneumatically operated by means of a solenoid valve. The top door opens and
discharges ash into a middle chamber after equalization of pressure on its both sides by means of
an equalizer valve. Once it closes, the bottom door opens (after equalization of pressure on its
both sides by an equalizer valve) and discharges into the silo.
PULSED JET CLEANED BAG FILTER AND CONTINUOUS TWO DOOR DISCHARGE
The air flow coming from the continuous operating cyclone is further cleaned by the bag
filter which unloads the collecting ashes into the silo through the continuous two door discharge
(whose function is similar to that of continuous operating cyclone discharge). Bag filters are
cleaned by means of compressed air. Through a control needle valve, compressed air flows to a
collector where there are 21 solenoid valves which will clean the bags. The sequence of
operation of solenoid valves is controlled by an electronic panel which comes into operation (i.e
gets inserted) when the control is in auto, by the operation of a differential pressure switch which
senses the clogging of bags ( DP = 150 mmwc). Also there is a thermostat at the filter inlet
whose task is to close the ash intake valve in service after sensing high temperature and to open it
gain after approximately 5 minutes. If the temperature has reduced in the mean time, conveying
will continue otherwise ash intake valve will close again.
IN-LINE FILTER:
This filter collects any further impurities which, if not suitably collected, could seriously
damage the vacuum pump. The clogging of this filter is monitored by a DP switch which stops
the vacuum pump whenever DP goes high (250 mmwc)
DRY VACUUM PUMPS:
Two pumps (one as a standby) are there to obtain the head required for pneumatic conveying. At
the inlet of each pump, there is a pneumatically operated suction damper which opens whenever
start command is given to the pump. A thermostat is installed at each pump outlet. If the
discharge air temp. reaches 1950C, this thermostat stops the corresponding vacuum pump. Each
pump is also equipped with a safety valve at is inlet. The pumps can be started both from remote
as well as from local.
FLY ASH SILO :
Its task is that of colleting, stocking and discharging the ashes coming from two
continuous two door discharges. To avoid any clogging of ashes inside the silo, a fluidizing
system ( consisting of 2 nos fluidizing blower, 10 nos fluidizing points and a fluidizing central
disk) is installed. the blowers supply suitable flow to reach a correct fluidization. they are
equipped with a filter at their inlet and a safety valve at their outlet. the blower starts
automatically by the pressure switch operation ( -100 mmwc ) which indicates the depression
inside the silo. the fluidization is carried out by 20 fluidizing segments , each couple of fluidizing
segments is automatically put in service through a solenoid valve.

SILO VENT FILTER AND VENTING FAN :
In order to avoid pressure in silo due to the supplied fluidizing air, two venting fans ( one
as a standby ) have been installed. These extractors, through a silo vent filter 9bag filter) maintain
a depression inside the silo around 50 – 80 mmwcl thus favoring a correct discharge of ashes
through the telescope. Bag filter cleaning is done by compressed air admitted through 7 solenoid
valves.
SILO DISCHARGE SYSTEM ( DRY UNLOADERS )
The ash discharge is performed by two identical telescope dischargers. The telescope
control is carried out by an electric motor operated through push buttons from the electric panel.
An air intake valve equalizes the pressure of silo and the tank. The on- off rotary valve allows for
ash flow inside the telescope. This valve is controlled by a solenoid valve. Conveying of ash
from silo to telescope is controlled by a slide gate motorized valve. This valve can be kept in any
position through pushbuttons on the panel. Finally, on the silo , there are two manual emergency
discharges intercepted by valves.

ALARMS AND INTERLOCKS
The following pressure switches are mounted at the common suction line for both the pumps to
indicate different alarm and interlocking conditions: -
1. PSLL 733(-1500 mmwc) – permissive (consent ) for starting the evacuation and opening
the ash intake valve of the selected hopper. if the value is lower than this for 20 seconds
then ‘ low vacuum ‘ alarm appears.
2. PSL 734( - 2200 mmwc) – permissive for changeover of hopper.
3. PSL 735 ( -3600 mmwc) – permissive for re-opening of the ash intake valve of the
selected hopper.
4. PSHH735 (-3800 mmwc )- permissive for closing of ash intake valve of the selected
hopper. if this value persists for 30 seconds, ‘line plugged’ alarm appears.
5. PSH 734 (-3000 mmwc) – ‘HOPPER PLUGGED’ alarm . it appears when this value
persists for more than 15 seconds with ash intake valve open.
When a cycle start command is given, the selected vacuum pump starts. if the
vacuum is above the min. value ( -1500 mmwc) convey air permissive appears
and the selected hopper ash intake valve opens. if the vacuum does not build up
to this value for 20 seconds then low vacuum alarm appears. once the ash is
discharged into the branch, vacuum raises and at a value of –3800 mmwc, ash
intake valve closes. it opens at a value of – 3600 mmwc. when the hopper
becomes empty, vacuum comes down ( with ash intake valve open ) and at a
value of –2200mmwc, hopper changeover takes places. if it is the last hopper,
then changeover of branch takes place.
HIGH AIR TEMP ALARM (TSH 738, TSH 739 ) :
1st OR 2nd PUMP AIR TEMP SWITCH IS ACTUATED AT HIGH TEMP (195 0 C )
