8. Charge the lube oil cooler with Cooling Water by opening manual valve & observe the flow
indicator & pressure >3.5kg/cm2.
9. Open the discharge valves for the lube oil pumps.
10. Ensure power supply to LOP is normal.
11. Start LOP from DCS. Check pressure > 4kg/cm2 from local & DCS. Check for any leakage at local
& put other pump on standby auto mode.
12. Ensure Scanner fan is in service.
13. Make ID Fan inlet Guide vane position minimum.
14. Close the ID Fan Inlet & Discharge gate.
15. V.F.D system ‘channel 1 ready’ or ‘channel-2 ready’ signal available (one contact for each
channel).
16. V.F.D system ‘channel 1 start permissive’ or ‘channel 2 start permissive’ available from VFD
system.
17. Fan and Motor bearing temperatures are not very high.
18. Motor winding temperatures are not very high.
19. Emergency push button released from local.

5.0 START PROCEDURE:

1. V.F.D system ‘channel 1 start command starts Fan and runs up Fan to minimum speed (120
RPM).
2. When fan reaches minimum speed, impulse for VFD channel 2 start is given by operator.
When ID Fan ‘A’ is started impulses shall be given for.
3. Opening the inlet gate and outlet gate of fan A.
4. Connecting the regulating dampers / VFD control of Fan A to the auto control.
5. Closing the inlet gate and the outlet gate of ID Fan B and bringing the regulating dampers to
minimum position for the start permissive of the fan and also ensure that fan is not rotating in
reverse direction.
6. Permission to start either FD Fan A or FD Fan ‘B’.
7. Check the motor winding, bearing temperature and vibrations are normal.

6.0 STOP PROCEDURE:

1. Check the motor winding, bearing temperature and vibration is normal.

2. Load of unit to be reduced upto 300MW by running three nos. of pulverizer and deload FD FAN-A
or B and stopped.
3. ID Fan A slowly reduce the IGV/VFD observing furnace pressure, increase the IGV /VFD of ID Fan
B for maintaining the furnace draught.
4. After the normalization of furnace DP and ID fan IGV 0% stop the ID Fan A.
5. Close the inlet and outlet gate.
6. Ensure that ID Fan A is not rotating in opposite direction, if rotating then manually tighten the
inlet and outlet gate.

7.0 ALARMS/TRIPS:
Alarms Trip
0
1. ID fan bearing temperature very high. > 95 C > 105 ⁰C
2. ID fan exciter winding temperature very high. > 1000C > 105 (E)
3. ID fan motor winding temperature high. > 1250C > 1300C
4. ID fan motor bearing vibration very high. > 6.3 mm/sec > 9.9 mm/sec
5. ID fan source breaker -1 electrical trip.
6. ID fan VFD CH-1 fault.
7. Lube oil pressure Low
i. (Low)< 0.6 kg/cm2 (Standby pump start )
ii. (Very Low)<0.4 Trip(incorporated)
8. Both lube oil pumps OFF.
9. ID fan vibration very high. > 6.3 mm/sec > 9.9 mm/sec
10. Furnace Pressure LOW LOW -____mmwc (__ Sec Delay)
-____mmwc (Instant)
Conclusion:
The equipment is to be maintained in the best possible manner. Vibration levels, temperature of the
bearings etc are to be monitored continuously and periodically checked.
