 FUNCTIONS OF FSSS
PURGE: Prevent any fuel firing unless a satisfactory furnace purge sequence

has first been completed.

 FUEL FIRING START PERMISSIVES: Prevent start-up of individual fuel firing

equipment unless certain permissives, interlocks have been satisfied.

FUEL FIRING START-UP&SHUT DOWN: Monitor and control proper

component sequencing during Start-up and shut-down of fuel firing equipment.

 SECONDARY AIR CONTROL :Control the flow if secondary air into the
furnace during purging,oil firing,coal firing and during boiler trip.

OPERATOR & REMOTE FEEDBACKS: Provide component status feedback to

the operator and, in some cases, to the unit control system and / or to the
data logger.

 FLAME MONITORING:Provide flame supervision when fuel firing equipment

is in service and effect an Elevation Fuel Trip or Master Fuel Trip upon certain
condition of unacceptable firing / load combination.

 BOILER TRIP:Effect a Master Fuel Trip upon certain adverse Unit operating

 PURGE PROCESS
FOR 5 MINUTES:
1.OPEN ALL FUEL SECONDARY AIR DAMPERS
i.e,A,B,C,D,E,F.

2. OPEN ALL AUXILLARY SECONDARY AIR

DAMPERS i.e,AB,BC,CD,DE,EF,FF.

AFTER 5 MINUTES:
CLOSE ALL SECONDARY AIR DAMPERS
I.e,A,AB,B,BC,C,CD,D,DE,E,EF,F,FF.
SECONDARY AIR DAMPER CONTROL (SADC)
FUEL AIR DAMPERS:
 All fuel air dampers (A,B,C,D,E&F)modulate
according to the amount of primary air flow in the
respective Elevation.
 All fuelAir dampers will open when boiler trips.
 All fuel Air dampers will open 100% during
purging.
 AUXILLARY FUEL AIR DAMPERS(A.F.A.Ds)

Aux.Air dampers AB,CD&EF will open by 70% when

respective guns are in service.

Aux.Air dampers will close whenever adjacent coal

elevation or oil elevation is not in service.

40mmwc differencial pressure between funace and secodary
air wind box.

Boiler load > 30% the A.F.A.Ds modulate to maintain

seconds.

 When atomising steam valve is proven fully open,

a 5 minutes counting period starts.
