Boiler Protection at JPL

The document provides information about boiler protection systems. It discusses that boiler protection relays will trip the boiler if a hazardous condition occurs to protect personnel and equipment safety. It then describes the various conditions that would cause the master fuel trip relay to activate, instantly shutting off fuel supply to the boiler. These conditions include low air flow, high/low furnace pressure, loss of fans, low feedwater flow, loss of auxiliary equipment, and high arch inlet temperatures. The purpose of each protection feature and its associated logic and delay time are detailed.

BOILER PROTECTION

Prepared by: Sachin Kansal (Asst. Manager, Production)

Contents

What is meant by Boiler Protection


Boiler is equipped with a protection relays to trip the boiler out of service if hazardous condition has happened, these relays are enclosed at huge protection system called Master Fuel Trip.

Master Fuel Trip, as name indicates, produces trip signal for fuel systems from operation , then trip the boiler out of service away from danger. This relay needs many conditions to operate , these conditions will be discussed further.

Needs of Boiler Protection



For safety of personnel and safety of equipment. To localize the effect of fault by isolating the faulty part from the healthy part so asTo cause least disturbance to the system To improve system stability and service continuity Avoid Explosion due to Ignition of accumulated gases inside the boiler which is out of service for quite some time Improper sequence of operation Firing with improper fuel-air ratio

What conditions cause MFT

Total Air Flow < 25%

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
Total air Flow (Secondary air + Mill inlet PA flow) <25% of full load air flow (25% of 3000 TPH = 750 TPH)

Purpose:
Ensuring absolute minimum required quantity of air flow even during startup Preventing localized accumulation of unburnt oil during startup

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT

Furnace Pressure Very High

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
2 out of 3 pressure switches sense furnace pressure very high > +250 mmwc

Purpose:
To stop fuel firing under explosive tendency of furnace Prevent furnace structural distortion

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT

Furnace Pressure Very Low

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
2 out of 3 pressure switches sense furnace pressure very low < -250 mmwc

Purpose:
To stop fuel firing under implosive tendency of furnace Prevent furnace structural distortion

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT

All FD Fan Trip

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
Both FD Fans OFF Contact sensed by MFT panels

Purpose:
Anticipatory protection to prevent reducing firing condition Loss of total air flow control and balanced draft

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT

All ID Fan Trip

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
Both ID Fans OFF Contact sensed by MFT panels

Purpose:
Anticipatory protection to prevent furnace pressurization Loss of furnace pressure control and balanced draft

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT

Feedwater Flow Low Low

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
Feedwater Flow < 542.5 TPH (median of three Eco inlet feedwater flow transmitters)

Purpose:
Anticipatory protection to prevent very high Arch Inlet Temperature To prevent economizer tubes and waterwall tubes starvation

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT

All APH tripped

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
Both APH main motor OFF and aux motor OFF

Purpose:
Preventi g poor furnace combustion due to low secondary air temperature Preventing fle gas damper isolation in all APH

Protection Delay:
30 Sec

Loss of Flame Scanner Cooling Air

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
Flame cool Press LLL 1 Flame cool Press LLL 2 Flame cool Press LLL 3 FSC Air Fan A stopped FSC Air Fan B stopped 2 / 3

O R A N D

Purpose:
Preventing damage to Flame scanners.

Protection Delay:
10 min

Loss of All Fuel

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
All of mills stopped AND all oil corners inlet oil valve closed

Purpose:
Due to loss of fuel, Temp drops and no steam generation occurs so water carry over may occur.

Protection Delay:
02 Sec

Loss of Fire

Arming:
Anyone Coal Feeder running

Logic:
corners of all coal elevations has no fire AND corners of all oil elevations has no fire

Purpose:
If there is no flame and fuel is continuously going into furnace, then there is every chance of furnace pressurization & hence explosion can occur.

Protection Delay:
02 Sec

Arch Inlet Manifold Steam & Water Temp High

Arming:
Always armed

Logic:
2/3 Side Left Arch Inlet Temp > 473 deg C 2/3 Side Right Arch Inlet Temp > 473 deg C O R

Purpose:
To prevent Water Tubes failure due to starvation

To prevent BCP starvation

Protection Delay:
03 Sec

All PA Fan Tripped

Arming:
Anyone Mill running

Logic:
Any Mill running PA Fan A stopped PA Fan B stopped A N D

Purpose:
No primary air will be available to carry and dry the coal

Protection Delay:
0 Sec- INSTANT
