designed inside windbox of each corner burner. While designing coal type for
burning, minimum load of burning stabilization without oil is not more than 30%
BMCR.
Boiler structure is complete steel structure and connected by high tension bolts,
there are totally nineteen layers of platforms, in which there are seven layers of
rigid platforms; in order to facilitate operation, partial platforms are arranged at
some place. Except slag collecting device and preheater, all the weight of boiler are
hanged and loaded on top of boiler structure. Expansion center and “0” position
guarantee system are designed for boiler, encloser hot sealing is adopted at boiler
top, complete metal sealing is used for boiler top pipes, light construction with
ladder type metal casing for boiler wall.
Spraying desuperheater is used for regulating superheater steam temperature, two
stages of spraying desuperheater are arranged in superheater system: primary
spraying desuperheater is on the LT SH outlet pipeline while secondary is on the
SH rear platen outlet pipe. Reheater steam temperature regulation is mainly
fulfilled by burner swinging and excess air coefficient.
There are two stages of spraying desuperheater in the reheater system, the
primary stage is emergency spraying desuperheater that is arranged on the RH
inlet pipes and secondary is minim spraying device that is laid on the connection
pipe between platen reheater and reheater finish.
One start-up drain bypass with the capacity of 5%BMCR is designed on the
backpass lower header.
Two sets of Φ10330mm trisection air preheater(heating surface rotary) are
designed at the lower part of flue gas duct end.
There are 72pcs wall soot blowers at the part of furnace, 50pcs long-strike
shrinkable soot blowers are arranged at the upper part of furnace and at the field of
convective flow flue gas duct and four soot blowers arranged at preheater. All the
soot blowers are in process control during operation.
There are 10pcs spring safety valves for boiler body, in which three pieces are on
drum, two are at SH outlet, two pieces on RH inlet pipe and three pieces are on RH
outlet pipe. In order to decrease the tripping times of safety valves, two dynamic
discharge valves.
Flue gas temperature probes are equipped at the left and right side of furnace
outlet and they are used for controlling the flue gas temperature at furnace outlet
while starting-up. Furnace flame TV camera device is installed at the left and right
side of furnace so as to facilitate the observation to burning situation inside furnace.
Safety protection device such as drum water level gauge and water level TV
camera device and furnace safeguard supervisory system (FSSS) are equipped for
boiler.

corners at same layer to be burnt simultaneously to make boiler expanse
uniformly.
4.1.13.17 While starting oil gun, if light-up is not successful, try it again; if it is still

boiler water filling, after water filling and when the drum pressure is at
0.5MPa,2.0MPa, 6.0MPa,10.0MPa,13.0MPa and 16.0MPa. If the
expansion part is blocked, stop temperature rise. Go on temperature rise
after failure being eliminated.
4.1.4.4 Pay attention to the change of drum water level, when the feed water
regulation cannot maintain normal level, take use of periodic and
continuous blowdown valves to control together, keep water level within
±50mm.
4.1.4.5 In the curve, it sets some temperature rise speed after light-up,
temperature rise is controlled through pressure boost, at the preliminary,
less oil guns are put into use, burning is weak, flame permeation degree in
furnace is weak, so warming of evaporation heating surface is
comparatively more uneven and water cycle hasn’t normally set up, etc. all
of which will cause evaporation equipment especially drum to produce
large thermal stress. Hence, at the preliminary stage of boost pressure, do
strictly control temperature rise speed.
4.1.4.6 When carry out cold status start-up, the operation personnel shall do
following works during the period of temperature rise and boost pressure:
6 ℃ --100 ℃ , temperature rise speed--1.33 ℃ /min, control the temperature
difference between drum’s upper and lower wall to be within 50℃;
