    Valves are used to regulate, stop, or allow fluid flow through pipelines. The main types of valves are isolating, regulating, non-return, safety, and control valves. Valves have components like a body, stem, disc/wedge, and seat. Globe valves have a stem lift of 1/4 the diameter for full open, while gate valves have a stem lift greater than the diameter. Soot blowers are used for on-load cleaning of heat transfer surfaces in boilers. The main types are wall blowers, long retractable soot blowers, and rotary blowers. Proper maintenance of valves and addressing issues with retractable soot blowers, wall deslaggers, and

    VALVES

    AND
    SOOT BLOWERS

    S.RAJEEV KUMAR

    INTRODUCTION
    Valves are mechanical devices that are
    used to isolate, regulate or release the
    process fluid flowing through pipelines.
    Proper working of valves ensure better
    availability of unit, safety of the plant,
    equipment, processes and men.

    FUNCTIONS OF VALVES
    To stop or allow the flow
    - globe valve, gate valve

    To act as safety device


    a) safety valves to release excess pressure
    b) non-return valves to prevent back flow
    To Regulate quantity/pressure
    - attemperater spray, PRV

    TYPES OF VALVES
    Isolating valve
    Regulating valve
    Non-return valve
    Safety valve
    Control valve

    ISOLATING VALVES:
    It is normally fully open or fully closed.
    It must stop flow of fluid completely when
    required.
    Example: gate valve

    REGULATING VALVES:
    A regulating valve controls the rate of flow of fluid,
    according to requirements.
    It may be operated in any position from fully open to
    fully closed .
    Examples : globe valves ,angle valves etc.,

    NON-RETURN VALVES:
    Permits flow of fluid in one direction only &
    shuts off if a reversal of fluid flow occurs
    Direction of flow of fluid through the valve
    is indicated by an arrow on the valve
    body
    Examples: Swing check non-return valve,
    Lift check non-return valve

    SAFETY VALVES:
    This valve is designed to open when a
    predetermined and set pressure has been
    reached in the system .
    This type of valve is used for safety of the
    equipment.
    Examples: spring loaded safety valve ,
    Torsion bar type safety valve etc

    CONTROL VALVES:
    The control valve is a fine control element
    which is used in control system .
    It is operated by the signal given by the
    control circuit.
    Examples: Flow control valve, Trip valve etc

    CLEANING of heat transfer surfaces when
    boiler is in operating condition

    TYPES OF SOOT BLOWERS:

    TROUBLE SHOOTING
    RETRACTABLE SOOT BLOWER:
    1. overheating of lance tube
    2. leakage of steam through glands
    3. chain breakage
    4. motor failure
    5. limit switch failure
