UNIT LOGIC
FURNACE PURGE
Purpose: – Complete Removal of unburnt fuel/residues from entire furnace. Before every start or say restart, a furnace pur
be performed.
Furnace purging refers to the clearing of the entire flue gas path for any combustibles that are leftover in the furnace.
This clearing function is accomplished by ambient air.
This is a mandatory safety requirement before ignition of fuel and is an interlock in boiler startup.
When the boiler trips, the last bit of fuel that made entry in the furnace remains inside.
There is a gaseous mixture left in the furnace. When an attempt is made to re-ignite the furnace, there is a reaction
gases, which could possibly result in furnace explosion.
It applies during startup of the boiler, when there are sometimes multiple attempts required to start.
Purging is a requirement as warranted by the NFPA (National fire protection agency) norms.
The time required for purging is determined by the volume of the furnace and requires 5-7 cycles to displace the combus
boiler.
Procedure:-
Ensure that all fuel to furnace is cut off and all flame is out.
Provide adequate airflow through furnace (30 to 40%).
Initiate a MANDATORY purge time cycle (5, 8, or 10 minutes).
A 5 or 8 or 10 minutes mandatory cycles in which at least one set of FD fan & ID fan are running with 30 to 40 % air flow w
to the furnace, to ensure the removal of the un-burnt fuel left over in the furnace area after the last master fuel trip.
Consequence:-
UNIT LOGIC
Boiler purge logic, which ensures a five minutes purge cycle is completed before any fuel firing can take place.
A “Purge Ready” signal at control room will be available when all the following conditions are satisfied:
PURGE PERMISSIVE
Automatic Procedure:
All oil valves are given closing command.
All mills and feeders are given trip command.
All Primary Air (PA) Fans are given trip command.
All Hot Air Gates (to mills) are given closing command.
Further Consequences:
Turbine protection is initiated (to trip turbine).
All SH and RH spray valves are given closing command.
All elevation SADC are given full open command.
Furnace pressure & Airflow controls are set to manual.
This ensures a safe shut down of the boiler in case of any abnormal conditions in boiler/ furnace.
If some abnormal condition occurs, Master Fuel Trip Relay acts and ensures the closure of Heavy Oil Trip valve (HOTV) a
Valves (ONV), thus cutting off total oil supply.
It also ensures the stopping of all pulverizer systems and Primary Air (PA) fans, cutting off total coal supply to boiler.

13. Loss of Unit Critical Power for more than 2 seconds
14. Both Secondary APHs OFF.
15. Loss of 220 V DC Supply for more than 2 seconds.
16. Air flow less than 30% and boiler load not greater than 30%.
17. Manual Emergency trip.
This logic ensures that oil trip valve can be opened after the purge cycle is completed and no MFT condition is present
conditions are also satisfied.
All nozzle valves are closed.
HFO supply pressure is satisfactory.
HFO header temperature is satisfactory.
Similarly, this logic ensures the closure of oil trip valve in case of MFT.

This logic gives an open command to scanner fan outlet damper after starting the fan.
Also, in case of both FD fans not running, it ensures the scanner air emergency damper is open.

There are four heavy oil elevations AB, CD, EF & GH.
For all these elevations, logics are same.
Oil elevation can be placed in service auto/manual.
For a particular elevation, only one command is given for all the four corners together. (E.g. One common start comma
AB-1, 2, 3 and 4 guns).
However, start command goes to corners 1 to 4 sequentially. First command goes to corner 1; after 15 seconds start co
corner 3; again after a lapse of 15 seconds start commend goes to corner 2; and again after a gap of 15 seconds start co
corner 4.
A particular corner takes the start command only if the following conditions are satisfied:-
The particular corner oil gun engaged feedback is available.
The steam scavenge valve is closed for the particular corner.
Sequence of operation
The sequence of operation taking place for a particular oil gun once the command is given is as follows:-
Availability of PA permit
Availability of ignition permit
Seal air /bowl differential pressure
No MFT
Lube oil pressure adequate
Pulverizer stop logic
Pulverizer on
Outlet temperature adequate
Speed demand minimum
No MFT
Feeder stop logic
Had/cad logic
PULVERISER LOGIC
This logic takes the count of total number of pulverisers in service at any point of time, the number of FD Fans & PA fans i
With PA Fan ‘ON’ and PA Header Pressure adequate (>560 mmwcl), it gives “PA permit” to start the Pulverizer.
In case of PA Header Pressure going low-low or PA/ FD fans trips, it ensures the shut down of Pulverizers from top elev
elevation in a timed sequence.
Each mill can be taken in to service manually or automatically.
Auto manual selection push button is available on FSSS console for each mill.
Initially, “Pulverizer Ignition Permit” signal must be established for the mill to start.
Other condition required to be established for starting the mill are as follows:-
