INTRODUCTION
This manual deals with the emergency actions that are to be carried out when an annunciation
occurs during Sootblower operation. Even though many protections are available in the sootblower
control panel, sometimes it is likely mal-operation can happen. At that time the operating and
maintenance engineers may be in search of correct course of action. We hope this manual will help
the operating and maintenance engineers to know what safe action they can take to protect the
sootblowers as well as the boiler tubes.
The contents of the manual has been carefully prepared. However, it must be understood that no
amount of written instructions will replace intelligent thinking and alertness on the part of the operator
during an emergency to reason the causes of mal-f unctions and to take immediate remedial actions
demanded by the situation.
Suggestions for the improvement of the manual would be welcome.

SOOTBLOWER OVERRUN
The total time for forward and reverse operation of sootblowers is supervised by elapsed timers.
When the blower stays for a longer time than its normal working time the blower overrun annunciation
will come and will stop automatic sequence operation and at the same time retract the blowers to its
initial position. Normally the timer is set in excess by 1 or 2 minutes of blower operating time.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1
GENERAL
Where the magnitude of the installation justifies the cost, a set of record plans should be provided
by the installation engineer or contractor, clearly indicating the complete layout of the installation.
There is always the possibility that hair, hands or clothing may be caught in moving parts of
electrical machines, which should thus be so located or guarded as to minimize the risk of such
injuries to those who may come in contact. In the case of equipment subject to the provisions of
the Factories Act such mechanical protection is a statutory requirement.
1.2
STORAGE
If the machine has got to be stored for some time before installation, the same has to be done in
a clean, dry place. If the location is susceptible for vibrations transmitted due to working of
heavy machinery, proximity to rail track, etc. it is desirable to have a resilient pad between the
floor and the machine. Also keep the shaft of the motor locked so that, bearings are not damaged
during storage. However, periodically rotate the shaft free and relock it.
1.3
Apparatus shall be so located that all current-carrying parts are adequately ventilated in relation
to the losses to be dissipated in the form of heat.
Note:
In no circumstances should the motor be enclosed in a box or other covering hat restricts
or excludes the ventilating air to a significant extent. Such restriction may result in the
burning out of the motor when a sustained load approaching the full value is reached.
The motor and control apparatus shall not be located where it is liable to exposure to water,
corrosive liquid, oil, steam, carbon, copper dust, dirt or other adverse condition or to risk of
mechanical damage, unless it is suitably enclosed to withstand such conditions.
Adequate access shall be provided to all working parts. The possible need for facilities for
removing the equipment at a later date for repairs or maintenance should be considered in relation
to the accessibility of the equipment.
Note:
For handling heavy equipment it is often advisable to arrange for the incorporation of a
lifting beam in the structure of the building, the beam being located immediately over
such parts of the equipment as may require attention and being capable of supporting
the maximum weight involved.
The placing of apparatus in situations where inflammable material may be present should be
decided in relation to the fire risk involved, and where it is impracticable to segregate the apparatus
from such material, the use of totally enclosed or pipe ventilated apparatus should be considered.
Where resistors are used which are liable to operate at high temperatures, they should be adequately
spaced away from combustible materials such as wood-work, in order to combat the risk of fire.
Whenever the temperature of the casing of the apparatus is liable to exceed 194 Deg. F (or 90
Deg.C) the casing should be so located or guarded as to prevent accidental contact by persons or
with combustible materials.
1.4
GEAR DRIVES
With gear drives, alignment is equally important. The centre of the pinion shall be in line with
the centre of the spur wheel and the two wheels perfectly parallel, the latter being checked by
means of feeler gauges between the teeth of the respective wheels. The gear wheels shall be fully
meshed both in depth and along their width of face and the check for meshing shall be made all
the way round the driven wheel in case it is out of truth. Should the driven wheel be out of truth
and the meshing adjusted correctly at the lowest point of the driven wheel, the gears would jam
when the high parts engage and probably bend the motor shaft.
3
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 3 - 21
Bevel or single helical gears will impose an end thrust on the motor shaft, and are not therefore
recommended unless provision is made to take the thrust. Double helical gears may also transmit
an end thrust if the end-play in the bearings of the driven gear is greater than the end-play in the
motor bearings. Where mechanical conditions are severe it is sometimes necessary, particularly
in the case of large motors, to employ an outboard bearing for the motor shaft and in some cases
to mount the driving pinion in two separate bearings and couple it to the motor through a suitable
flexible coupling. A flexible coupling is invariably necessary when a motor is coupled to a selfcontained gear box. It is advisable, when any drives of the above mentioned or similar types are
considered, that this be specified so that provision can be made to suit the conditions.
Where motors are fitted with ball and roller bearings, care shall be taken to ensure that no axial
strain is imposed on the bearings when the half-couplings are bolted together.
1.5
DRYING OUT
All motors shall be dried out before the full voltage is applied to the terminals, if the insulation
resistance is below one megaohm when the machine is cold. A convenient method of doing this
is to block the motor so that it can not rotate and apply a very low voltage of about 10 percent of
the normal to the stator terminals.
In the case of slip-ring motors, the rotor windings should be short-circuited.
Close supervison is necessary during the process of drying out with this method. The heat
generated in the windings is not easily dissipated and one part of the winding may be exceeedingly
hot before another part has had time to expel the moisture. This may be obviated to some extent
by taking every precaution to exclude draughts from the exposed parts of the windings.
The motor can be placed in oven, if available, but the temperature shall not be allowed to exceed
180 Deg. F (or 82.2 Deg.C). Alternatively, hot air may be blown into the motor but the air should
be clean and dry and at a temperature of not more than 180 Deg.F. If no other means are available,
coke braziers or electric radiators may be placed round the machine. Carbon filament lamps
placed inside the machine can be employed quite satisfactorily, but care shall be taken that the
hot bulb is not in contact with any windings. If it is not possible to reach a sufficiently high
temperature the ventilation may be reduced by covering the stator with a tarpaulin.
Whichever of the above methods of drying out is adopted, the heating shall be continuous and
shall be carefully watched to ensure that it does not attain a temperature sufficiently high to
damage the insulation. The maximum safe temperature of the windings measured by thermometer
is 180 Deg. F (or 82.2 Deg.C). At the same time the temperature should not be allowed to fall too
low as otherwise re-absorption of moisture would take place.
The insulation resistance will be found to drop considerably as the motor warms up, will reach
the minimum and then remain constant for sometime depending upon the dampness of the machine
and as the drying proceeds the insulation resistance will gradually rise. The drying out shall be
continued as long as the insulation resistance rises, or until a sufficiently high value has been
reached, i.e. not less than 1 megaohm per 1000 volts at 75 Deg.C.
During the drying out period, readings of temperature and insulation resistance shall be taken
atleast once an hour in order to see how the drying out is progressing. The temperature of the
motor shall be kept as constant as possible, otherwise the insulation resistance readings may be
misleading.
NOTE:
1.6
Reversal of rotation, if required shall be effected by interchanging two of the three supply leads
connected to the stator switch, breaker or starter.
4
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 3 - 22
2.
GENERAL
All electrical equipment shall be inspected and tested by competent persons at regular intervals,
the frequency of such inspection depending on the type of equipment and on the operating
conditions. A record of each inspection and of the result of tests should be kept.
2.2
MECHANICAL
Machines shall be checked for alignment to ensure that undue stresses are not imposed on their
bearings.
Where oil-lubricated bearings are employed care should be taken to see that oil does not penetrate
on to windings or other insulation. In addition clearances shall be kept to reasonably close limits
as too large a clearance may affect correct alingment and may cause fouling of the stator by the
rotor, whilst too small a clearance may disturb running mechanical balance. Oil should be checked
to see that it is clean and up to the right level.
The air gaps in sleeve bearing machines shll be checked before commissioning. This check
should be repeated at periodic intervals.
Mechanical operation of motors control gear and protective devices shall be checked for freedom
from external material, care being taken when commissioning to see that all packing materials
are removed.
In the case of motors and control gear, attention should be paid to all contacts, the contact pressure
and contact area being checked and verified as being proper to the operating conditions involved.
If ball roller bearing motors have been kept idle for periods longer than six months whether new,
spare or stand-by plant, the bearing covers should be removed for inspection of grease. If it is
found that the grease has a skin over the surface, the bearings should be washed out thoroughly
in kerosene, and three drops of fine oil added to the race. The bearing housings should be
repacked with new grease recommended by the makers, care being taken to ensure that the balls
or rollers will not churn in the grease. One of the chief functions of grease is to prevent the entry
of dust to the races, very little being required for lubrication.
2.3
ELECTRICAL
All fixed connections shall be checked for tightness and where heavy currents are involved a
check shall be made to see that contact adequate in area and pressure to prevent undue heating is
effected between all contact surfaces.
Before the equipment is put into service, it shall be tested for insulation resistance and other tests
as may be necessary should be made. Continuity tests shall be carried out, particular attention
being given to the secondary connections of current transformers. Before switching in for the
first time, protective devices shall be set at their minimum current values and at the minimum
time setting in order to minimise the consequence of any fault condition which may arise.
The rating of fuses shall be checked by inspecting the marking on the cartridge-type fuses or
inspecting the gauge and type of wire in the case of semi-enclosed type-fuses. Where practicable,
the operation of overload, no volt and other types of protective device shall also be checked. The
results of such checking should be related to the ascertained resistance of the earth-fault current
path so as to determine the prospect of the protective device operating in the event of a fault to
earth. Earth leakage protection should be adopted in the following cases:
a.
If the ascertained resistance is such as to restrict the fault current to a value below the
operating value of the overload releases.
b.
c.
If, where fuses are used, the resistance is such that sufficiently rapid operation cannot
be ensured, and the earthing conditions cannot be improved.
Protective fuses shall be examined regularly, and, as far as possible tested. Where relays are used
in conjunction with current transformers, the test should preferably stimulate working conditions
by utilizing the injection method whereby current is passed through the relays by the application
of a variable injection voltage from a transformer designed for the purpose.
3.
GENERAL
Protective paint and varnish shall be maintained in good condition by repainting or revarnishing
when necessary, it being noted that in many instances, such as that of machine windings, spraying
is the only effective means of application of such protection.
MOTOR
Cleaning of Machines
Motor shall be blown out at regular intervals to keep their ventilating passage clear, it being
emphasised that many types of totally enclosed motors required such attention, particularly when
operating in dusty atmosphere.
Moisture, oil, dirt, grease and carbon or metallic dust are the principal causes of breakdown. The
motor should therefore be kept clean and dry; water dropped on the machine will soon cause
trouble, unless the motor has been designed to withstand such conditions. The stator and rotor
windings must be kept free from oil and grease, damp and dirt. Periodic cleaning with dry
compressed air, bellows or a brush, is very necessary.
All motors require to be examined and dismantled from time to time and the frequency of
successive cleanings will depend upon the conditions under which the machine operates. During
periodic cleanings care shall be taken to clear air passages in the stator and rotor of any accumulated
dirt.
Terminals and screw connections shall be kept clean and tight. If they become dirty or corroded,
they shall be disconnected and all contact surfaces made clean and smooth. Bad contact leads to
sparking and ultimate breakdown.
After reassembly, the gaps shall be tested as a precautionary measure by means of a feeler gauge.
If it is found that the air gap measurements of two diametrically opposite points differ by as
much as 25% the machine shall be examined, because the brackets or bearing housings will not
be correctly aligned. Gap measurements shall always follow reassembly, since rubbing between
stator and rotor will cause extensive damage.
3.2
INSULATION RESISTANCE
The insulation resistance of the windings shall be tested periodically during service and where
this is found to drop below 1 megaohm/KV with a minimum of 1 Megohm the motor shall be
dried out and put in service. If weak insulation, resistance becomes a regular feature the windings
shall be given a coat of good insulating varnish after the machine has been dried out. Where the
motor is installed in locations, subject to dampness, chemical fumes, etc., the installation indicator
such as a neon lamp to show the condition of the insulation of the motors is recommended.
3.3
In small frame motors, the bearings can be removed with a bearing puller. The cartridge type
bearing housing is employed in large frame motors.
After cleaning, the housing should be greased with the specified grade grease and the bearing
replaced by applying even pressure to the outer race. Having ensured that the bearing is square
with the housing, it may be necessary to tap lightly into position.
6
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 3 - 24
Having ascertained that the outer race beds firmly against the housing shoulder, the whole may
be slipped over the shaft which should be cleaned and oiled.
The bearing may now be forced on to the seating by means of a tube placed over the shaft and
applied to its inner race; this method ensures even pressure and the bearing may be driven home
against its locating shoulder. On no account must the inner race mounted by hitting the outer
race and pressure should not be applied to the outer race during the process. The blows should
be equally distributed all round the inner race and care should be taken to avoid hitting or applying
pressure to the lip of the inner race, in the case of a roller bearing. Otherwise the bearing along
with the bearing housing can be heated in medium oil Shell Tellus 33 Deg. at a temperature not
exceeding 100 Deg. C for about one hour to enable easy mounting by push fit.
3.4
Climatic conditions affect the lubrication and it is necessary to ensure that the bearings do not
run hot. This shall be tested from time to time by placing the hand on the bearing cap. A
moderate warmth to the hand is a ready indication that the bearing is running at its best. Higher
or lower temperatures are not dangerous in themselves but increasing temperature or noise are
sure signs that the bearing needs immediate attention. It may be that the addition of a small
amount of grease will arrest and cure the trouble.
When opening up bearings for inspection and cleaning, all dirt and foreign matter shall be removed
from the neighbourhood of the bearing caps. The caps shall then be removed and the bearings,
caps and housings washed with kerosene, all old grease also being removed in the process and
the parts thoroughly cleaned. If the bearing is in good condition, fresh grease shall be pressed
well between the cage, races, balls and rollers. We recommend Shell Alvania No.3 grease or its
equivalent. After packing the bearing, any superfluous grease shall be wiped off. If the bearing
appears dirty or if the grease has become hard and disintegrated the bearing shall be removed
from the shaft, withdrawn from the housings and closely inspected for signs of wear.
3.5
LUBRICATION
It is often assumed that with the substitution of rolling motion for sliding motion in antifriction
bearings, the sources of friction are eliminated and lubrication is of secondary importance. But
this is not correct since sliding friction still occurs at the cage which separates the rolling elements
or between the element themselves if they are not separated.
The smooth and silent running of antifriction bearings depends to a large extent on the high
degree of finish imparted to the tracks and rolling elements, and quite apart from its function of
minimising wear on rubbing surfaces, the lubricant is required to protect these highly finished
working parts. The rolling element bearings require a small amount of lubricant depending upon
the size and type of bearing and generally the lubricating intervals are long. However, lubricant
must always be present in the bearings otherwise their lift may be affected or retarded by injuries
which could have easily been avoided.
The main functions of lubricant in a bearing are:
i.
To provide a separating film between rolling and sliding contacting surfaces, thus pre
venting wear.
ii.
iii.
To prevent the bearing from being contaminated by dirt and other foreign matter.
iv.
When the moving parts of a bearing come in contact with grease, a small quantity of oil adheres
to the bearing surfaces. Oil is therfore removed from the grease near the rotating parts. The oil
that is picked up by the bearing is gradually broken down by oxidation, or lost by centrifugal

= x 28.35 Grams
6000
Where
Running conditions, especially speed relative to the bearing size determine the permissible
relubrication frequencies, provided an approved ball bearing grease is used.
Over-lubrication is equally hazardous as under-lubrication. If excess grease is maintained in the
race-track under-pressure, excessive friction develops often resulting in the break-down of the
grease, which in turn affect the life of the bearing considerably.
3.6
The contact and insulating parts must be kept thoroughly free from dirt and moisture and there
shall be firm metallic connection between fixed and removable contacts when they come together.
The covers shall be removed periodically for inspection.
Fuse contacts and terminals must be examined periodically for cleanliness and tightness. When
a fuse wire or strip has to be renewed, care must be taken that the new is of the correct metal and
size.

3.7
SAFETY DEVICES
Remote tripping devices and limit switches which are provided for safety reasons but which may
not be called upon to function under normal operating conditions, shall be checked for operation
at regular intervals.
Interlocks designed to prevent unsafe operations shall be checked periodically by a deliberate
attempt being made by a competent person to perform the operations which the interlocks are
designed to prevent.
Where an emergency supply is provided, the source of supply and all ancillary apparatus shall be
checked periodically.

INTRODUCTION
This general instruction, sets some guidelines in preventing puffs and furnace explosions
during soot blowing and outlines the procedure for setting blowing pressures. A check list for
operation and a recommended procedure for start-up are given for general care and correct
start-up. The section on maintenance gives a detailed glimpse into the maintenance problem.
The lubrication schedule helps the maintenance man to choose the correct lubricant and carry
out the lubrication plans.
No Soot Blower system will operate satisfactorily if it is not properly installed, operated and
maintained. It must be recognised that no amount of written instructions can replace intelligent
thinking and reasoning on the part of the operators, especially when coping with unforeseen
operating conditions. It is the operators responsibility to become thoroughly familiar not
only with the equipment but also with all pertinent control equipment.
The instruction contained in this manual is only an outline of the correct procedures for
operation and maintenance. The contents in this manual have been compiled and checked by
experts in this field. Every possible care has been taken to ensure the contents are accurate.
Suggestions for the improvement of the manual are welcome.
If you ever have any query about operation, maintenance or related problems, you are welcome
to write to BHEL without obligation.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1
When ordering repair parts, always give the Name, Part No., Drg. No., as found on the parts
lists and Model number as found on the brass name plate.
In the case of bearings and elements, swivel tubes or lances refer to Element Location Drawings
and give the Drawing No. for the specific piece needed. Elements may vary for different
locations.
If you have more than one boiler, give the type, size, rating and location of the boiler or
boilers for which parts are needed, and the order number under which you purchased the
Blowers for which parts are needed.
1.2
A Word of Caution
Carelessness in repairing a blowing equipment can cause serious injuries. Accidents can be
prevented by taking simple precautions.
Always get permission and clearance from the proper authority before starting to repair any
equipment.
Use proper lifting equipment for heavy equipment. Do not attempt repairs beyond your ability.
Before repairing any equipment operated by steam or air, make sure all supply valves have
been closed, tagged or locked and also the electrical connections are cut off. If steam or air
supply lines must be energised for purpose of test, use extreme caution.
2.
(i)
Cleaning Cycle
As a guide line we suggest a soot blowing cycle of once in a day to start with may be established.
After watching the performance of the particular coal, oil or any other fuel, with reference to
the deposit formation, the blowing cycle can be altered. It is essential to have a satisfactory
cycle so that the heat recovery surfaces are kept free of deposits at the same time the tube
surfaces are not damaged because of frequent blowing. The life of the soot blower parts will
also proportionally decrease with increased frequency. The Boiler operating personnel can
establish the optimum blowing cycle depending on the actual furnace conditions. It is
impossible to predict the deposit formation since too many factors influence the same.
(ii)
When possible, the boiler to be cleaned should be operating at or near the maximum
design load.
When soot blowers are operated at low boiler loads, clouds of soot may be blown into the gas
stream to form explosive mixtures which may be ignited by the heat from furnace walls or by
smoldering soot fires. Soot blower operation at low boiler load, with a resulting colder furnace
may also result in some of the unburned combustibles escaping from the furnace and collecting
in pockets in back passes.
Agitation and ignition of these gas pockets will cause puffs or explosions. All tube surfaces
and gas passes, therefore, should be blown with the gas flow at or near maximum to purge the
boiler of these possible explosion causes.
(iii)
On oil or pulverised fuel fired boilers, soot blowers should be used with the burners
operating at the highest possible burning rate, maintaining even stable combustion.
Soot blowing schedules should be established to take place during the heaviest load
periods, or the burner firing rates should be increased during soot blowing. Burners
should be checked during soot blowing for stability.
A high burning rate assures a lower oxygen content in flue gases which eliminate the difficulty
as explained in (ii) above.
High and stable burning rates also prevent flames from being blown out by small puffs or
agitation of the gas flow common while soot blowing.
(iv)
Before operating soot blowers the furnace drafts should be increased by opening the
boiler outlet damper or by making the appropriate adjustments of the induced draft
fan to take care of the increased flue gas volume due to the soot blowing operation.
Increased furnace draft helps to purge combustible gas pockets explained in (ii) above.
Increased furnace draft improves cleaning by moving soot particles through gas passes rather
than re-depositing them on adjacent surfaces.
(v)
Conditions may require the operation of soot blowing equipment with the burners
out of service as when cleaning prior to outages to facilitate inspections.This procedure
is dangerous. If unavoidable, soot blowing operation should not proceed while the
refractory is still hot and there is any possibility of soot fires still smoldering in the
setting. Be sure the boiler is cold and inspect the setting for smoldering soot before
blowing.
(vi)
The normal sequence of soot blowing is to follow the gas flow through the boiler.
The first soot blower to be operated should be the nearest to the burners then each
unit in turn along the gas passes to complete the cleaning cycle. This method
thoroughly cleans the entire unit by moving along the passes rather than blowing
them loose and redepositing them on adjacent surfaces. It may be desirable to reverse
this procedure when soot deposits are unusually heavy to avoid plugging and puffs
or explosions in the back passes.
5
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 41
Blowers should then be operated in reverse order from rear to front to rear. This procedure
may be desirable during period of low load operation, as when units are banked, or on Marine
installations when ships are put out to sea after time spent in port.
(vii)
3.
For operating wall deslaggers,operate the row of wall deslaggers at the highest
elevation first and then follow downwards, so that, heavy slags dislodged and
deposited at lower elevation will be cleared by further soot blowing operation and
fall to the ash hopper due to its weight.
Introduction
All large, high pressure boilers and many medium and small boilers today employ a pressure
reducing valve in the steam supply to the soot blower system. This requirement, coupled with
the fact that all individual soot blower operating head pressures can be easily adjusted externally
while the units operating, permits adjustment of the blowing pressures without internal orifices
and at the same time permits operation of the system on a relatively low supply pressure.
The reduced supply pressure reduces packing and valve maintenance and makes the system
more flexible for pressure adjustment at later dates without the necessity of installing orifices.
A step by step procedure is outlined to attain this set up.
Use the pressure gauge and the connected fittings issued by us for measuring the blowing
pressure. Connect the pressure gauge fittings as shown in the figure.
3.2
The suggested blowing pressures are listed out in the blowing pressure table, released in
00,076 erection drawing group separately for each contract.
When these pressures are not shown on the blowing pressure Table BHEL should be contacted
for this information. Request for this information should be complete with blower no. location
and the existing blowing pressure.
3.3
Customer Information
It is a most important step that the customer, the operators and the maintenance personnel
understand that these Recommended Blowing Pressures are based on past experience with
similar fuels, boiler design and firing conditions. The pressures are recommended for trial as
a starting point. Blowing pressures are those that are required to clean can only be determined
after a period of operation and trial settings with adjustment later, if necessary.
3.4
The unit marked for highest blowing pressure on the Blowing pressure table is set up first.
This will usually be a retractable unit in the platen section or in front of the slag screen,
(i)
The valve head is designed for high pressure. The valve opening of each blower is
adjusted using the setscrew to the required blowing pressure such that the valve dis
is opened fully or partially without completely compressing the spring (i.e. spring
should not be solid).
(ii)
The steam supply is then turned on and the pressure recommended is set on this high
pressure unit from the blowing pressure table by adjusting the supply pressure at the
Pressure Reducing Valve. As an example the blowing pressure on this first unit may
be 18 Kg./cm2 and the supply pressure may be as low as 21 or 25 kg/cm2 depending
on line drop.
6
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 42
3.5
The next step is to set pressures on one each of the other models in the system one wall
deslagger, one rotary and one air preheater cleaner if they are employed in the particular
system.
In selecting the one unit of each of these models to be checked, consideration should be given
to the highest blowing pressure used on that particular model as well as the unit farthest from
the source of steam supply. Line drop will be the only reason for not being able to obtain the
recommended pressures.
Where pressure cannot be set as high as desired because of line drop on these secondary
model settings, it obviously will be necessary to increase the supply pressure through the
Pressure Reducing Valve and reduce the pressure on the individual high pressure unit first set
up.
3.6
From the above procedure we have established the minimum header supply pressure to give
the maximum blowing pressure on all of the various soot blower models or types of equipment
used in the system. It is now only necessary to set the other pressure by restricting valve
opening on other units using lesser pressures.
These pressure settings must be made with pressure gauges and the units in actual operation.
Measuring the valve opening or using feeler gauges is not reliable since accumulation of
tolerances in the valve linkage causes a variation in pressure settings.
Normally, no alteration is necessary to the safety valve setting. The seal on safety valves must
not be broken or changes made to these safety settings without specific reasons. Safety valves
are for the protection of the equipment and system in case of Pressure Reducing Valve failure
and their setting does not coincide with this method of pressure setting in any way.

increased if the set pressure is not already in the maximum setting. Normally a set pressure
upto 42 Kg./cm2 (g) can be set with a 600 psi rated safety valve.
Do not alter the set pressure if the system is stable.
With the above procedure of setting pressure we have the maximum valve opening possible
on any and all individual soot blower operating heads which reduces valve maintenance. We
have the minimum steam pressure on packing, also reducing maintenance.
We have a more flexible system in that, if loads are increased or inferior fuels are used for
shorter periods where higher blowing pressures are required, one single adjustment can be
made at the pressure reducing valve rather than changing and gauging all individual units.
When the emergency is past, the original pressures can be restored again with one adjustment
at the pressure reducing valve.
If there are questions or if difficulties should arise in following this procedure, please contact
us for further advice and counsel.
Do not set pressure reducing valve supplied systems at 600 psi and reduce blowing pressures
with orifices and individual head linkage adjustment.
3.7
Blowing Pressures
When new jobs are commissioned or started up, we can , based on past experience with the
type of fuels, firing, boilers and equipment involved, recommend blowing pressures for trial
or starting. An operating period then dictates if pressures and operating frequency should be
changed.
Inspections
Inspections of all tube surfaces at any scheduled outage, are essential to determine tube damage
and cleaning. Wall blower inspection is difficult and costly because of the need of scaffolds
or bosunchair, nonetheless inspection is necessary because of the fact that they are hard to see
and check while in operation.

4.2
(i)
The frequency of soot blower operation depends on the operting conditions, status
of the boiler and boiler cleanliness. Some things which may indicate the need for
cleaning are; increase in boiler exit gas termperature, decrease in boiler gas flow
(assuming constant boiler load) and visual inspection.
(ii)
It is important when starting up a boiler that the soot blowers be used frequently and
soon after lighting off. Inefficient combustion in a boiler being started up may result
9
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 45
in abnormal deposits on the tubes. Unless they are removed frequently, furnace
explosions or puffs may result later. It is usually also desirable to use the soot
blowers just before taking a boiler out of service.
(iii)
When using the soot blowers for the first time, it is advisable to increase the furnace
draft as much as possible during the blowing cycle. After several blowing cycles, it
will be possible to tell how much the furnace draft shoud be increased for blowing.
The furnace draft can be increased by opening the boiler outlet damper wider, in
creasing the induced draft fan speed, or opening the induced draft fan damper wider.
No increase in forced draft is recommended.
(iv)
When the soot blowers are not being used, the main steam supply valve should
always be closed tightly and the drain valves opened wide. The motor equipment
for electrically driven blowers is housed in suitable enclosures. For all blowers it is
necessary to make the power and control connections from the motor control centres
and panel to each blower. There is usually a local starting button for each blower as
well as a remote button on the control panel. These buttons are indicated on the
wiring diagrams.
Suggested Procedures
(v)
(a)
Assure that power is available at the proper voltage and frequency as specified on
the application drawings.
(b)
(c)
For steam blowing systems, open all drain valves wide. If traps are used, be sure
isolation valves are open and the by-ass valve is closed.
(d)
Open the main steam or air supply valve slowly until it is wide open. With steam
blowing cycle, do not operate any blowers until all the piping has been warmed and
drained. Then, if traps are not used, close the drain valve. The hole in the valve seat
will serve to keep the lines drained. Never blow with wet steam.
(e)
Operate the blowers in the numerical sequence shown on the general arrangement
drawing. There is a panel start push button for each blower. The buttons may be
included in the automatic sequential operation; they may be individual (buttons for
manual operation) therefore, one button must be used to start each blower. Each
button should be held in about 5 seconds and then released. The blower will start
operating, complete the cycle and this will be indicated in the panel; start the next
blower after this blower operation is over.
(f)
Operate each blower in sequence, each may be operated as many times as necessary
to clean. (Note: Allow a cooling period of 1 hr. before subsequent operaion of the
same blower) NEVER ALLOW A BLOWER TO BLOW UNLESS THE NOZZLE
IS ROTATING.
(g)
When the entire blowing cycle is complete, close the main stop valve tightly. Open
the drain valves wide if they are closed.
(h)
(i)
(j)
Be sure all blowers have completely retracted and all heads are fully closed.
Soot blowing, once considered a necessary evil, has become a positive necessity on
modern coal and oil-fired boilers. Fuel costs are rising, and heat value per pound of
fuel seems to be decreasing. Ash, sulphur and low-fusion-temperature slags cause
more trouble with lower Bth. U fuels and demand dependable soot blower operation.
Many cost-conscious engineers are now setting up suitable maintenance programme on soot
blowers, and since peculiarities of each boiler plant usually require a programme tailor-made
for each plant, it is advisable to enlist the aid of the manufacturers field-service engineers in
setting up a specific programme. However, the following paragraphs will help to bring light
the more important things to be considered.
The factors that may cause, or contribute to tube cutting are:
(i)
(ii)
Abrasive dust from baffles and sheaves adjacent to blowers entrained in the blowing
jet.
(iii)
(iv)
In air heaters or economizers where dew points may be low or boiler gases highly
corrosive tube metal may be rusted or eaten away, especially where any condensate
or drops of water from blower elements may be deposited on tube surfaces. These
rust scales are removed when blowers are operated, thus exposing new metal and the
cycle continues until tube failure occurs.
Observe, report and record any tube erosion, cutting or polishing that is evident in
the slightest degree. The permanent record will help determine on future inspections
whether the condition has been corrected.
(b)
Blowing pressures may be reduced on some equipment by adjusting the valve screw,
on other equipment by adjustable orifices in still other equipment by a permanent
orifice in the line. Manufacturers service instructions will indicate the proper
procedure. No higher pressure should be used than that needed to clean the boiler.
This decreases tube erosion and prevents excessive use of steam or air, thus aiding
economy.
(c)
5.2
External Inspection
(i)
Make sure valve mountings or head supports are secure. Loose mounting permits
head and element to move in and out of the wall sleeve, undoing all the careful
internal alignment.
11
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 47
(ii)
Check the operating head and valve to make sure it is functioning properly,
mechanically and that it can rotate without undue binding.
(iii)
See that mechanical parts are clean and free from rust. Dirt and rust act as an
abrasive, causing moving parts to wear.
(iv)
Remove immediately any and all water pockets in the supply piping system. PROPER
DRAINING OF PIPING IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE. When the blowing medium
is steam the supply pipe should have an independent direct connection to the boiler
drum, to obtain the direct possible steam at maximum pressure. Stem supply piping
should be insulated for safety, and to reduce condensate in the soot blowing system.
(v)
Make sure piping connections to soot blowers are flexible enough that no leakage
to abnormal stresses will develop. Proper hangers should be provided for the pipe.
Pipe risers should never depend on the soot blower head for any support. This always
causes binding when the unit is operated.
(vi)
If condensate traps are used on steam systems, dis-assemble them and clean the
screens during outages to make sure they operate properly.If a drain valve with
4mm hole in the seat be used instead of a trap, make sure it is in place and in
operating condition.
(vii)
5.3
Maintenance
Things listed so far have been inspection points to check during boiler outages. There are
other points that can be checked while the boiler is in service.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
All packing glands should be drawn just tight enough to prevent leakage without
binding or breaking down packing fibre by excessive pressure.
(vi)
All cams and moving parts should be cleaned and properly lubricated.
(vii)
Gear boxes should be filled to proper levels with correct gear oils or grease. Greases
should be checked regularly to see if they have hardened or separated from their
bases because of high ambient temperatures. On outdoor installations, they should
be checked when temperatures drop to see if hardening or channelling occurs.
(viii)
Lubrications in air lines to air motors should be checked at least once a week to
make sure oil reservoirs are full and feed is correct.
(ix)
With electric motors, insulation, brushes and commutators should be clean and free
from oils. General rules for care of electrical equipment and industrial controls

(x)
Where drive chains are used, the chain should be kept as dry as possible.Only enough
oil to prevent rust should be applied. Excess oil picks up fly ash and grit to form a
cutting abrasive between link connections.
(xi)
With any lubricants, manufacturers specifications for correct types, amounts and
frequency of application should be closely followed.
5.4
Where boilers are subject to extended outages, as in heating plants, maintenance can be reduced
by giving proper attention to the equipment before and during the down period.
(i)
(ii)
Mechanical units should be covered with canvas, oil cloth or paper for protection
against moisture or excessive dust.
(iii)
If operating valves or pistons have rings or parts not made of rust-resistant alloys
these parts should be removed. They can be protected by a rust inhibitor by a rust
inhibitor or stored until the equipment is required.
(iv)
Where feed lines or telescope tubes are of carbon steel, the units should be extended
and rust preventive applied to these parts.
(v)
Inspections and repairs should be made immediately when the boiler is shut down to
assure proper operation when the boiler is put back into service.
Operation
Correct operating procedure will help to minimize maintenance problems. These are important
check points.
(i)
Drain valve should be fully open, and supply valve opened slowly, during warm-up
period. Drain valve should not be closed until the steam leaving the drain is absolutely
dry. Drain valves should remain open when units are not operated. These precautions
prevent condensate from entering elements to warp or distort them.
(ii)
Rotation of elements should be slow, even and continuous from the time steam flow
starts until it is shut off. Should the automatic valve-in-head unit fail to shut off, the
entire system should be shut down immediately, and the offending unit be corrected
or blanked off before proceeding with the other units in the cleaning cycle. To proceed
with the other units after one operating head has failed to shut off would cause tube
damage. In addition, there would be reduced blowing pressures to the other elements
which would prevent proper boiler cleaning.
(iii)
All units should be kept in operating condition as far as possible. Loss of one unit
could cause plugging and thus divert hot gases over an adjacent unit to destroy that
element.
(iv)
Blowers should be operated in proper sequence along the gas flow lanes with dampers
fully open. This moves soot out, rather than blowing it from one place to another.
13
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 49
Soot blowers should also be operated after any abnormal fuel burner operation resulting in
heavy smoke while burning oil. This is especially true if there is an economiser or air heater.
Soot blowers are expected to clean efficiently and safely. They are intended to operate on low
power and labour cost, and to give long life with minimum maintenance expense. This is
possible, even if the equipment be subjected to high temperatures and adverse operating
conditions.
Soot blowing engineering takes these points into consideration and uses the highest possible
engineering standard in design and construction. As a result, blower equipment properly
installed and cared for is as trouble-free as possible. To maintain this standard of operation
requires only a regular programme of inspection and preventive maintenance.

NOTE: 1
All the chain and chain links are prelubricated by special treatment by which lubrication is required normally. But as and when sign
of rust is identified twofold lubrication is recommended. First the chain is cleaned and trichloroethylene is applied over surfaces.
(This is used as a degreasing agent and carrier for penetrating the heavy lubricant. Servosystem 150 is applied as a second cost).
NOTE: 2
NOTE: 3
Almasol 1250 is recommended only when the soot blowing medium temperature exceeds 427C. For recovery boiler irrespective of
temperature Almasol 1250 is recommended.

Caution
DO NOT re-grind seats unless absolutely necessary. Every attempt should be made to lap
seat and valve into condition without using the re-grinding tool.
Only when the normal valve grinding procedure with valve grinding compounds does not
remove cuts and wire drawing from the seating surfaces should be grinding tool be resorted
to.
DO grind very lightly.
When the grinding tool is employed only sufficient grinding should be done to remove
imperfections. Removing hard stellite face unnecessarily is wasteful and time consuming.
DO maintain a 210 angle on the fixed seat in the main body and 19-1/20 angle on valve disc
of the valve assembly.
It is permissible to be off a few minutes from these angles on both seating surfaces.
We endeavour to maintain full width contact for greater life expectancy. This is desirable
rather than the ring contact which would be present with different angles on the matching
seats. The ring contact seal cuts through and starts to leak in a relatively short time.
8.2
All valve heads are stripped down whether removed or still in place on the unit. The valve
disc and all packings are removed. The packing gland remains in place.
Where packing glands show wear at the valve stem guide area or are to be replaced for any
reason, the replacement should be made before re-seating is done.
The packing gland is used as a guide for the pilot and the stone sleeve in the re-seating procedure.
The packing gland must therefore remain in place after grinding to insure concentricity of the
operating parts when the unit is re-assembled.
8.3
Immediately after dis-assembly an examination of the parts should be made to see that they
are not fractured or broken beyond repair that would require replacement. The seating surfaces
are then checked.
Cracked seat surface in the valve body may require re-stelliting. This is not a recommended
field procedure. The valve body with packing gland and valve stem assembly should be returned
to our plant for re-stelliting and grinding in the valve.
The valve stem assembly may be craked or the valve stem worn or scored requiring replacement.
The packing gland may be worn in the valve stem guide area and require replacing.
When the body with the final packing gland in place is available the valve assembly is then
lapped with fine valve grinding compound. The valve grinding compound should be the
water mixed automotive type. The procedure for lapping the valve is comparable to automotive
valve grinding using the screwdriver slot in the top of the valve disc to rotate the valve with
compound on the seat surface.
This light test lapping will indicate the extent of wire drawing, cuts or imperfections in the
seating surfaces. From this test lapping, it can be determined if heavy grinding compounds
and continued hand grinding with fine lapping compounds used in turn will correct the surfaces
or if it will be necessary to resort to the more drastic valve re-grinding.
22
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 58
8.4
The stone is installed on the stone sleeve by turning the threaded end of the sleeve into the
threaded bushing in the stone.
The stone on the sleeve is then installed on the lightly oiled upright stem of the grinder.
The sleeve and stone assembly is then rotated with the driver.
3.Pilot
The cutting angle of the diamond point dresser should be set on the angle indicator to 210.
The dressing of the stone should be with very slow feeds of the micrometer adjustment in the
diamond feed screw to avoid waste and damage to the stone.
8.5
The Pilot
The pilot is then installed in the soot blower head from the stuffing box side. Pilot plug
should enter and fit snugly in the packing box of the packing gland in order to insure
concentricity of the newly made seat with the guide of the packing gland.
8.6
The sleeve and stone assembly is then inserted in the operating head from the opposite side of
the packing gland. The stem on the pilot entering into the sleeve should be lightly oiled. A
minimum amount of oil should be used to avoid oil loading of the grinding stone.
8.7
The Driver
The driving head is then fitted into the sleeve. The stone should be off the seat and ride on the
pilot stem only as driver is started. The driver with sleeve and stone assembly is advanced
slowly until the seat surface is contacted only very lightly. The driver is then withdrawn very
slowly. Cutting on these seats is extremely rapid because of the angle, therefore, we repeat,
proceed slowly in removing metal. A slight check after the first touch will indicate if additional
grinding is required.
8.8
The valve disc of the valve stem assembly may be cut or wire drawn with marks too deep to
remove by compounds and hand work. These assemblies can be dressed to the 20 Deg. with
a grinder in a lathe or a regular automotive valve grinder.
Extreme care should be exercised where the disc seating surface of the valve stem assembly is
ground or refinished that excessive metal is not removed.
23
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 59
Never more than a total of 0.25mm should be removed from the face of the disc on the valve
stem assembly as it is received from the factory. Removing excessive metal by this grinding
of the disc on the valve stem assembly will reduce the diameter and thin the seating wall of
the valve disc permitting it to be driven through the fixed seat. This is not dangerous to
personnel but does impose a more expensive maintenance problem. We recommend
replacement of the valve stem assembly when the seat surface is damaged.
8.9
When both seating surfaces have been regrouped the mating angles can be checked by the use
of Prussian Blue. With blue applied to the seating surface a light turn of the valve assembly
will indicate not only imperfections but will determine if the angles of both seat and valve are
identical in the lapped area. The fixed seat in the body should show full width contact on the
valve disc rather than ring contact. If ring contact is apparent the angle on the grinding
stone may require a slight correction in the dressing angle.
8.10
The grinding stone should not be permitted to develop a ring or groove between dressing.
The side angle of the stone should remain straight and flat. Dressing is also essential to
prevent oil carbon loading.
8.11
When seats have been reground the valve should be hand lapped with very fine lapping
compound. This procedure again is very very light. Only sufficient pressure is applied with
a very few turns so that a fine frosted surface appears on the newly polished ground parts.
Actually this lapping procedure should be more of a check to see that surfaces properly made
on both parts. Figures show a hand tool suggested for this purpose.
8.12
Re-Assembly
The re-assembly of the operating head is of course in the reverse order of dis-assembly. Where
the operating heads are rotary soot blower, heads, care should be exercised when the head is
reinstalled that element flange is registered properly on the operating head. If some marks or
care is exercised in this respect it will save resetting the blowing cams in order to correct the
blowing arc.
Blowing arcs should be double checked on all rotaries after replacement to avoid cutting tube
destroying baffles or inducing improper cleaning that would be encountered if the blowing
arc were established in the improper segment or if the element is improperly moved end
ways.
Note: We recommend that the SB valve assembly to be sent to the factory for re-conditioning
rather than the customer trying to recondition the valve since special care should be taken in
repairing this valve.

9.1
Installation method
Clean out the old packing. Flexible packing hooks are available for removing the packing.
Inspect the feed pipe stem for wear or damage. Remove any raised metal that projects above
the normal surface. Do not try to file out depressions or scratches. Raised metal will tear
packing. Any reworking of scratches will only worsen the condition.
Keep the new packing clean during installation. Grit or other hard foreign matter that is
installed with the packing may score the feed pipe causing an early failure of the packing.
Install all packing rings so that the joints are staggered and kept approximately 90 Deg. apart.
Spot the joints in clockwise direction to facilitate locating them when removing the packing.
9.2
Each ring must be set firmly into place with either the gland or a tamping tool as shown in
figure. After each ring is installed, the ring must be compressed with approximately the same
force that it will have with the final gland force. Each ring should be equally compressed
when the entire set is installed. If this is not done, only the last ring will do the sealing and
will wear quickly.

Packing
Keep packing glands just tight enough to prevent leakage : Do not overtighten them. Replace
packing that leaks excessively. Refer to instruction Recommended Procedure for Packing
Installation.
10.
On receipt of the Soot Blowers, carefully check for any damage of the components.
List out the damaged components with reference to the item no. in the concerned assembly
drawings to BHEL, Tiruchirapalli for further action.
(ii)
See the Soot Blower assemblies are shipped completely covered with waterproof
coverings. Unless the blowers are taken for immediate erection please do not disturb
the coverings. Coverings are to be replaced wherever damaged.
(iii) Some assemblies like Wall Deslaggers and Rotary heads are shipped with temporary
wooden platforms to prevent parts getting damaged during erection. These need not be
removed till the blowers are erected.
26
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 4 - 62
(iv) All the electrical items are to be covered with waterproof and dust proof coverings.
Nozzle and valve openings are shipped covered. This may be checked and covered
wherever necessary.
(v)
Normally storage under covered roof is not necessary for Soot Blowers when the
waterproof covers are not removed. Wall Deslaggers and Rotary Soot Blower heads
can be stored under covered roof if the interval between Soot Blower erection and
receipt is more than two months.
(vi) Always use the lifting lugs or hooks provided to avoid damage to the connected parts.
Similarly avoid hitting the assembly against structures or other boiler components while
the Soot Blowers are being lifted.
(vii) The above instructions are for guidelines only and the concerned persons may use their

INTRODUCTION
The coal fired boilers demand the maximum in effective Furnace wall slag control. Effective
deslagging entails- high striking power combined with barest minimum dead time between
blowings. WBIE Wall Deslagger is designed to efficiently meet these needs.
No soot blower system will operate satisfactorily if it is not properly installed, operated and
maintained. It must be recognised that no amount of written instructions can replace intelligent
thinking and reasoning on the part of the operators, especially when coping with unforeseen
operating conditions. It is the operators responsibility to become thoroughly familiar not
only with the equipment but also with all pertinent control equipment.
The instruction gives the general description of the wall deslagger and its installation
procedures. Details of the, adjustments of blowing speed, valve stroke and nozzle are outlined.
The operation, maintenance and lubrication details are also given.
The contents in the manual have been compiled and checked by experts in the field. Every
possible care has been taken to ensure the contents are accurate. However, it must be understood
that the manual is not a contract document.
If you ever have any query about operation, maintenance or related problems, you are welcome
to write to us without obligation.

DESCRIPTION
1.1
The deslagger consists of a stationary body (item 10) and rack gear housing (item 2) and a
rotary gear box assy. (item 3) to which the swivel tube assy. (item 5) is attached. The swivel
tube assy, is supported by Bushing (item 17) at each end of the body casting. The horizontal
guide rods (item No. 09 of Drg. No. 1- 00-073-60109) are used to assure proper alignment of
the relay gear box assy.
A stationary electric motor (item 59) is situated on the right side of the. blower. This motor,
through a Rack gear housing Assy. operates a pinion which drives a horizontal rack assembly,
(item 11) the outer end of which is fastened to the rotary gear box Assy. (item 3).
When the Rotary gear box approaches the fully extended position a ramp cam (item 2) attached
to the free end of the rack (item No. 01, 3-00-073-60106) contacts a bearing surface, which is
a part of the clevis bracket Assy. (item 6) and pushes the valve stem assy. (item No.02 of drg.
No. 1-00-073-60003), admitting the steam to the swivel tube. When the blower is started the
rack pinion moves the rack (item 11) and rotary gear box towards the boiler. Operation of the
Rack gear housing causes rotation of a shaft extending out -from the rack gear housing into a
switch box Refer Drg. No. 0-00-073-60027. Located in this switch box are two cam actuated
limit switches. One cam holds limit switch LSTE in the open position when the blower is
fully retracted. Extending of the blower moves the cam allowing LSTE to close. The blower
is then under its own control.
Near the fully - extended position, the ramp cam strikes the lever that open the SBV head
valve. The second limit switch cam strikes the LSTS limit switch, which opens the circuit to
the traverse motor (item No. 59) and closes the circuit to the rotary motor (item 60).
The rotary motor is attached to the rotary gear box assy. When LSTS closes, the motor rotates
the swivel tube through a gear train.
When the blowing sweep is finished the cam assy. (item 7) on the swivel tube contacts and
rotates the arm on the limit switch LSTR. The traverse motor begins to retract the blower.
Near the fully retracted position the cam again opens the switch LSTE to haet the blower.

9)and its holding nuts (item 30) removed. If, for any reason, the stop limit switch. (LSTE) is
not actuated during the retract portion of the operating cycle, it is possible for the rotary gear
box to overtravel and drop off the end of the guide rods.
If the rack should come free of the gear rack pinion drive, the cams for the limit switches will
require resetting.
The end of the worm shaft (item 7 Drg.No. 1-00-073-60109) is slotted so that a hand crank
can be inserted to allow manual operation of the blower. Be sure the power circuits are deenergized before using this crank.
1.2
INSTALLATION
i.
ii.
For steel - cased wall: Install sleeve as shown on application drawing. Be sure
elevation and vertical location are exactly as shown in the relevant contract drawing.
Sleeves are usual ly attached to waterwall tubes to maintain proper distance between the fully
extended nozzles and the tube surfaces. Application drawings show how to allow for movement
of a sleeve relative to the boiler wall.
Cut the proper size hole in the casing panel or plate. With sleeve and panel or plate positioned,
build wall around it as shown in the drawing. If the sleeve flange is shown welded to the panel
or plate, tack welds will be sufficient if they are one inch apart on each of the four sides
iii.
The blower must be positioned so the relationship between the fully extended nozzle and the
boiler wall (or the waterwall tubes) is correct.
In the absence of a specific dimension on the drawings, set the centre line of the back nozzle
38 mm from the face of the wall tubes.
Adjust the blower in or out of the boiler by turning the stud nuts on the sleeve plate.
To check the location of the nozzle, the swivel tube and nozzle should be extended fully into
the boiler. The blower is completely assembled and if clear, is ready to operate once the power
has been connected properly. For directions on making the electrical connections and setting
switches, see the instructions below. Before extending the swivel tube and nozzle, make sure
there are no obstructions in the path of the rotary gear box.
V.
Erection of Piping
When the piping is erected, great care should be taken to make up the inlet flanged joint
properly. No piping should be supported by the blower.
7
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 5 - 70
Proper piping supports and guides should be used to prevent piping strain. When the companion flange is attached to the pipe correctly and the gasket is intalled, the flange should
match property. Then add the flanges, studs and nuts. When the nuts and studs are removed,
the flanges should not spring apart or to either side, nor should the pipe exert an upward force
on the head.
Whenver wall boxes are attached to waterwall tubes (as is usually the case) the blower will
move with the tubes when the boiler expands and contracts.
All piping and electrical connections should be sufficiently flexible and have expansion loops,
etc., to allow for this movement and prevent severe strains from being exerted on the blower.
Refer to the application drawings for the amount and direction of any movement of the
blower.
CAUTION : Switch Box Assy. Refer Drg. 0-00-073-60027
When adjusting limit switches, power to the unit must be turned off to avoid injury of the
operator. Operation of the unit should be by means of the hand crank (item 11) provided.
The operation of the deslagger is controlled by three limit switches. Two of these (LSTE &
LSTS) are located inside the switch Box enclosure, mounted on the right side of the blower.
The thi rd switch (LSTR) is situated below the swivel tube and is operated by a split cam
(item 9) on the tube.
The setting of switches LSTE and LSTS are shown in the drawing referred above. The cams
operating the switches are set at the factory. Minor adjustment may be necessary. The inner
cam operates the LSTS switch, which starts the rotary motor. Ensure the Rotary gear box
stops 3 to 8 mm before the guide bar bush ( without ramming against the boss). The outer
cam operates stop switch LSTE and must be set to trip LSTE, and hold it open when the gear
box is 8 to 10 mm from the fully retracted or park position. When first operating the blower,
check this carefully. It must be so set to allow for drift after motor is shut off.
The inner switch cam for LSTS, must be set to trip the switch when the travelling gear box is
in between 3-6 mm from the fully extended position. This also should be checked when
running the blower for the first time.
Since packing friction affects the amount of drift, care must be taken to avoid ramming the
rotary gear box against the stops in either directions.
vi.
Electric Connections
WIRING DIAGRAMS: Refer Drg. 3-00-073-60006
The electrical connections can now be made as shown on the application drawings. For
Blowers with integral terminal box, all wiring connections are made to the terminal box. For
blowers without integral terminal boxes all connections are still made to one point - the small
cast box on the top of the blower. The number of connections to be made are shown on the
wiring diagrams.
Before operating any blower, make sure the drain holes in the motor frames point downward
and are open. Add the proper quantity of oil to the two gear boxes (rotary and traversing) and
assure that the vents point up and are open.

Adjustments
i.
The sweep of some wall blowers is restricted because of their proximity to corners or
burners. Refer to the application drawings to determine sweep.
It is important that the sweep be set as closely as possible to that shown on the application
drawings, otherwise damage to the boiler may result.
The nozzle opening position is indicated by a mark on the swivel tube or by the key slot in
the swivel tube which can be seen by, removing the guard and the nut and washer at the end
of the swivel tube. To adjust the sweep, remove the sheet metal guard. If it is convenient to
operate the blower with electrical power use the local start push button station. The swivel
tube and rotary gear box extend rapidly; be sure there are no obstructions in the path of the
rotary gear box.
To stop the swivel tube rotation and retract the tube and gear box, rotate the lever on the
reverse limit switch operated by the split cam on the swivel tube. This will retract the blower
rapidly. Make sure there are no obstructions in the path of the rotary gear box
On standard wall blowers there is one stop collar or split cam on the swivel tube, (item 7)
adjacent to the rotary gear box (item 3).
This collar contacts the lever of the reverse limit switch to retract the blower at the end of its
sweep. On wall blowers with restricted sweeps there are two cams. One cam contacts the
limit switch to reverse the swivel tube at the end of the sweep, while the other retracts the
swivel tube and rotary gear box at the end of the blowing sweep. Loosen the set screws in
these cams and assure that they are loose on the swivel tube before adjusting the sweep. To
adjust the sweep, start the blower and allow the swivel tube to rotate until it is in the proper
position for the end of the blowing sweep. Retract the swivel tube, using the reverse limit
switch. Set the reverse limit switch stop collar so that the side of the collar will just contact
the side of the reverse limit switch lever. Tighten the setscrew.
With all adjustments completed, operate the blower and check the sweep for correctness,
preferably from inside the boiler. Replace the guard (item 9).
9
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 5 - 72
ii).
Nozzle Adjustment
Nozzle alignment should be made from inside the furnace, referencing the centreline of the
nozzle and wall tube surface, with the nozzle opening parallel to the wall tubes. If the units
are set from outside the boiler, they should be checked inside at the first opportunity.
After the unit is installed, it should be checked to make sure that it is perpendicular with the
boiler wall, to insure cleaning through the full blowing arc.
The sweep should then be set, if possible, so that the nozzle is pointing down or in the 6
Oclock position, when the head opens. This helps to prevent tube cutting from condensate
since the nozzle blows parallel with the tube when the head first opens and condensate is
blown off before the jet sweeps across tubes.

START UP CHECKS
For detailed Start up checks
4.
a.
b.
Check the perpendicularity of the wall sleeve with reference to water wall
c.
Check the mounting of the blower for perpendicularity to the water wall.
d.
Ensure the nozzle projection inside the boiler. (Normally the nozzle centre line
should be 38 mm from water tube).
e.
f.
OPERATION
When just putting the blower into service, start it locally so that the operation of all parts can
be observed. It is advisable to check the blowing pressure, using an auxiliary gauge. Start the
10
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 5 - 73
unit and observe to confirm that the blowing steam comes on at the proper time. If not, hand
operate the blower reversing switch LSTR. If the boiler is in operation do not allow the
blower extended for any length of time as the swivel tube may get damaged. If the valve head
has failed to open, retract the blower before examining the head.
There is a panel start push button for each blower. Each button should be held in about three
seconds, then released. The blower then extends, open the head, completes a blowing cycle,
closes the head and retracts. Operate each Push button once for each blowing cycle.

General
Soot blowers, nozzles and swivel tubes are continuously subjected to high temperatures and
dirty atmosphere. Therefore, proper maintenance is necessary to keep this equipment as trouble
- free as possible. To assure efficient operation and long life, attention must be given to the
item below
a.
Cleanliness
To assure long life and good performance of soot blowers, the outer surfaces should be cleaned
of dirt and rust periodically. If allowed to accumulate, dirt and rust will enter the operating
mechanism, prevent proper operation and cause excessive wear on moving parts. If a blower
is not to be used for appreciable time, coat all exposed surfaces with a good grade of grease.
b.
Equipment Inspection
A regular check, at least every six months should be made for wall deslaggers while the boiler
is on service to ensure that the wall blowers remain perpendicular to the boiler wall. Pipe
strain and boiler movement can after the position of these units in such a manner that, the
swivel tube is not perpendicular to the surfaces of the wall being cleaned. This check is necessary
to prevent tube erosion and it can be made visually or by placing a spirit level on the rack of
swivel tube. Correction is accomplished by adjusting the nuts on the studs of the wall box
adaptor where the stud passes through wall deslagger steam chest mounting flange.
Check the distance from the centre line nozzle to the surfaces to be cleaned. This distance
should be given in arrangement drawing issued for the relevant contract. Normally the distance
will be 38 mm.
Mounting : Check the soot blower mounting periodically to make sure the blower is securely
mounted and properly adjusted. The mounting position is adjusted by means of the stud nuts
on the sleeve. Be sure each nut on each side, of the blower body flange is tight. Loose mounting
12
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 5 - 75
or improper adjustment may result in misdirection of the blowing medium and possible poor
cleaning or boiler damage.
Piping : Check the external piping periodically for leaks. Tighten fittings to stop leaks or
replace faulty fittings and connections. Be sure the piping places no strain on any blower.
Swivel Tube Nozzle : At every boiler outage an inspection should be made of each swivel
tube nozzle. If a nozzle is split or cracked, it should be replaced.
Blowing Sweep : Any blower with a sweep of less than 360 deg. should be checked periodically
for adjustment. The sweep should be kept the same as that on the application drawings. It is
also advisable to check adjacent boiler tubes and walls for any possible damage.
ii.
Lubrication
a.
Rack Gear Box : Every six months remove the inspection plug and make an inspection
for sufficient lubrication of the gears. Apply the lubricant directly to the gear box.
Use 0.6 lit. of Servomesh 60 or equivalent poured through the inspection opening.
The oil level plug is small brass pipe plug on the front of the box about 50 mm from
the bottom.
b.
Rotary Gear Box : Every six months make an inspection for sufficient lubrication
of the gears at the combination inspection and filler fitting. The lubricant is Servomesh
60 added through the combination filler and level elbow on the side of the box.
For detailed lubrication instruction refer to Lubrication Chart and Recommended
quantity of Lubricants per annum in the publication No. 7501 : Soot Blower General Instructions.
iii.
Packing
See Recommended Procedure for Packing Installation in the Publication No. 7501 Soot Blower:
General Instructions.
iv.
b.
Persistent steam leakage even with new packing set due to swivel tube surface defects.
In order to remove the swivel tube, the main guard (item 9 of Drg. 0-00-073-60026) and the
rotary gear box are the only part that have to be removed. These two parts can be dismantled
without distrubing the Wall Deslagger assembly or any other pressure parts.
To dismantle the rotary gear box, the lock huts (item Nos.30,35 of Drg. No. 0-00-073-60026)
fixing the rack and ~the swivel tube to the rotary gear box should be removed and then the
gear box can be dismantled. After removing the rotary gear box the swivel tube assembly can
be pulled out of the Wall Deslagger body. The limit switch cam assembly shall be removed so
that it can be reused in the swivel tube assembly.
The procedure has to be followed in the reverse order for the assembly of new swivel tube.
For the Wall Deslagger with long extended swivel tube, the full assembly itself should be
removed from the mounting sleeve.
V.

INTRODUCTION
The Furnace temperature probe installed in various power station installations is manufactured by
BHEL with its Engineering know-how and the sum of the experience gained on many new installations
in India. The BHEL Furnace probe gives the reach needed for a constant check on gas temperatures
in critical boiler start-up phases and provide an extra measure of protection during periods when
boiler equipment is subject to the most hazard. The temperature measurement system will function
satisfactorily with a little attention to installation, operation and maintenance.
It must be recognised that no amount of written instructions can replace intelligent thinking and
reasoning on the part of the operators, especially when coping with unforeseen operating conditions.
It is the operators responsibility to become thoroughly familiar not only with the equipment but also
with all pertinent control equipment.
The instruction contained in this manual is only an outline of the correct procedures for installation,
operation and maintenance. The contents in the manual have been compiled and checked by experts
in the field. Every possible care has been taken to ensure the contents are accurate. However, it
must be understood that the manual is not a contract document.
If you ever have any query about operation, maintenance or related problems you are welcome to
write to us without obligation.

1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 6 - 96
GENERAL
This standard BHEL furnace probe is equipped with chromel alumel thermocouple installed in a
lance tube. Air cooling for the lance tube is also available for special applications.
Model FTP-IE for travels from 1.5 metre to 7.3 metre, has a 76mm O.D. lance. Model FTP-IIE
for travels from 7.4 metre to 12.2 metre has a 108mm O.D. lance.
In both the models, probes are available with or without air cooling.
The probe may be operated in furnace gas temperature upto 537C (100F) and for very short
period of time in gas temperature as high as 565 C (1050F) without air cooling.
The temperature probe can be used to measure furnace gas temperature upto max. 815C (1500F)
with the lance cooled by air.
This standard equipment will be limited to monitoring furnace temperatures upto, but not exceeding
815C (1500F) during boiler start-up. While using for temperature above 565C (1050F), air
cooling of the lance probe must be used.
Cooling air requirement for the temperature probe is determined by the diameter of the lance, length
of travel and the temperature of the area in which the probe is expected to operate. Operators are
requested to observe four important limiting factors in the operation of standard furnace temperature
probes.
i.
Never exceed 537C (1000F) without cooling air for continuous operation.
ii.
Never exceed 565C (1050F) for short intermittent periods without cooling air.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1
GENERAL
The BHEL Furnace temperature probe is an electro-mechanical equipment for positioning a thermocouple element in the furnace gas stream for temperature measurement. The thermocouple is
fixed to the tip of a lance tube which travels into and out of the gas passage. The lance travels
approximately two metres per minute while extending and retracting. The thermocouple can be
retracted manually in case of emergency.
Gas temperatures in the area just before the superheater elements at the exit of the furnace, can be
critical during boiler start- up, before steam circulation for the cooling of the superheater/reheater
tube material is sufficiently established. The furnace temperature probe, by permitting continuous
measurement of the gas temperatures, helps to reduce the danger of heat damage to the tubes. For
this reason, such probes are also known as basic start-up probes.
The furnace temperature probe can also be used to obtain gas temperatures during the low load
operation of the boiler.

1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 6 - 98
ii.
The main prime mover for the probe is a fractional horse power motor. A reduction gear box
attached to the motor has an output speed of 9.2 rpm. The motor with the reducer is fixed on top of
the housing at the front end. The reducer output shaft drives the jack shaft through a set of sprockets
and an endless chain. The jack shaft transmits the rotary motion to a long chain for the entire length
of the probe, the ends of which anchored to the travelling carriage, through another jack shaft and
idler sprocket at the other end of the housing. The idler jack shaft is provided with adjusting screws
for keeping the chain in the right tension.
iii.
The travelling carriage of the probe is a cast iron housing to which the lance tube is bolted. The
carriage assembly has two wheels which are guided by the inner side of the housing and the top of
guide angles. Two rollers on the sides of the travelling carriage prevent the sideways movements.
The travelling carriage guide rollers at the side also operate the arms of the terminal limit switches of
the heavy duty type which are fixed to the sides of the housing. Removal of the travelling carriage
assembly is achieved by unscrewing the removable portion of the angle guide track at the outboard
end and slipping the assembly down carefully without causing damage to the thermocouple at the
lance head.
In case of air cooled temperature probe, the travelling carriage is made, up cast steel/Ductile iron in
order to maintain pressurised chamber and a hose connector is screwed on the carriage to couple
the hose with it. (Ref.Drg.No. 1, 2-00-073-60098)
iv.
The lance tube Assembly is bolted to the travelling carriage and the lance is a alloy steel tube. The
lance tube is not normally air cooled, when the probe is used for gas temperatures upto 537C
(1000F). If air cooling is provided, the air house is connected to a coupling at the travelling carriage
end of the lance tube.
The thermocouple is normally of the grounded chromel alumel type enclosed in a stainless steel
sheath. It is fixed to the end of the lance tube, by means of a threaded coupling. The thermocouple
extends through the lance tube to the terminal coupling at the carriage end where a female connector
for the lead wires is provided. The corresponding male connector is connected to the thermocouple
lead wire which terminates at the thermocouple terminal head, fixed on the housing, through cable
drag chain. The probe has to be connected to a suitable temperature indicator which will show the
gas temperature.
For preventing any damage to the thermocouple head a cage type protective shield is provided, and
this will allow free access of flue gases to the tip of thermo couple during operation. In case of air
cooled probe, an inner S.S.tube called lance liner tube is supported by equidistant lugs as shown in
the drawing 2-00-073- 60097 at various intervals inside the lance tube and two straight bore nozzles
are provided to expand the entering air pressure to furnace pressure. The air enters through the
annular space between liner tube and lance tube and enter the liner tube through the gap provided at
the front end to reach the nozzles thereby it maintains the cooling effect on the surface of the lance.
V.
In order to know the position of the lance tube, corresponding the gas temperature, a position
indicator is normally provided with the temperature probe. The position indicator is a voltmeter
calibrated to continuously indicate the position of the thermocouple in. The voltmeter is connected in
parallel with a linear, ten turn helipot potentiometer (variable resistor) which is driven by a no slip
belt drive on the jack shaft. The mechanical arrangement of the potentiometer drive is illustrated in
Drg. 3-00-073-60109 and 3-00-073-60110.

1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 6 - 99
The details of the electrical wiring for the probe without air cooling are illustrated in the Drg.
2-00-073-60006 and for the probe with air cooling refer drawing 2-00073-60099 and 3-00-07360127. A 0-10 voltmeter calibrated in percentage of travel and at toroidal type 12k ohm. 50 watts
variable resistor are supplied loose, as position indicating instruments along with the probe. The
voltmeter and the variable resistor are to be mounted in the control cubicles and wired to the helipot
poten tiometer by the customer. The variable resistor is to be used for calibrating the travel indicated
by the voltmeter. The calibration of the position indicator is to be done during commissioning of the
temperature probe. 110V single phase 50 cycle is recommended for this circuit.
Vi.
Control Circuitry
The control circuitry on the temperature probe is designed as per the requirement. All electrical
hardwares for control and indication are subject to the customers option. For this reason, control
arrangements are presented in detail by specific contract circuit descriptions and contract drawings.
3.
i.
Check the thermocouple tip for any damage from handling or shipment, after removing
the shield for the thermocouple.
ii.
Check all control and power wiring for loose terminals, proper connections etc.,
iii.
iv.
V.
Check the limit switch actuating arms to see that they are in correct operating positions.
vi.
Check alignment of frame structure, track and sheave wheel track, particularly for any
bend, twist or other distortions.
vii.
Check roller chain sprockets for correct engagement with the chains.
viii.
Check alignment of the roller bearing for the lance tube and adjust only, if required.
ix.
Check lubrication of roller chains, sprockets bearings, wheels, rollers, etc., and fill in oil
for the reduction gear of the power pack.
x.
Check for pressure tightness of the air hose reel, if the probe is provided with air cooling
arrangement.
3.2
Instrumentation wiring
The thermocouple lead wires are internally connected to the fixed terminal head on the probe during
manufacture. The extension wire should be taken from the terminal head. Ensure the use of the
correct compensating cable corresponding to chromel/Alumel thermocouple, the leads connecting
to the indicating instrument should be connected to the junction head according to the polarity
indicated by the marking of the terminals and the code markings on the leads. Ensure that all
connections are tight and firm. A potentiometer type instrument is recommended as the temperature
indicating device.
NOTE : Check connections of measuring instrument, position transmitter etc., for proper polarity.
4.
OPERATION
Refer to the contract circuit diagram for the correct operating description.
4.1
This push button station has Extend, Retract and Stop push buttons. By operating the Extend
push button the forward contacts of the drive motor will be energised and the probe will move
9
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 6 - 100
forward. Normally, approximately 35 seconds lag is expected between the thermocouple position
and the corresponding thermocouple temperature. If multipoint recorder is used, the lag will increase.
If the temperature registered by the probe is below 538C it is expected to be within approximately
50C to the actual temperature measured at the location.
The position transmitter will indicate to the operator the travel of the probe in percentage of full
travel.
At the end of the travel, the travelling carriage side thrust roller will actuate the reverse limit switch
and then the reverse contactor will be energised to reverse the drive motor and retract the probe.
An indicating red light may be connected in the panel which will momentarily indicate when the
reverse limit switch is actuated.
If required with a change in the circuit the probe may be stopped at the full extended position when
the reverse limit switch is actuated. Indicating light can be suitably connected to indicate full extended
position as red light in the panel. When the reverse push button is operated the probe reverses
from any position and when the stop limit switch is actuated the probe stops at the fully retracted
position and a green light will come on the panel. In the intermediate position both lights will be off.
By utilizing the STOP push button, the probe lance can be stopped at any desired location. This
will enable the operator to check and concentrate on any hot spots in the furnace.
A remote contact on the temperature recorder which will close when the temperature measured is
+300C more than the maximum 538C is necessary to give an alarm; and the same time the probe
can be retracted.
A parallel push button station in the panel will be necessary for remote operation.
4.2
This BHEL Furnace Temperature Probe is equipped with a duplex Chromel-Alumel Thermocouple
either duplex or simplex. The equipment is limited to monitoring furnace temperatures upto, but not
exceeding 1000F without cooling air; and up to, but not exceeding 1500F with cooling air. Confirm
that sufficient cooling air is available. Operators must observe the temperature limitations to avoid
damage to, or loss of, the lance. Contacts (RC) on the customers recorder are to close when the
temperature reaches 1500F, energizing the RA relay which will cause the probe to retract to its AT
REST position and bring in the customers alarm.
The temperature probe controls include PARK, EXTEND, RETRACT and STOP push buttons, a
solenoid valve SV, pressure switch PS (opens on flow), timer T, alarm relay RA and relay P. (Please
note the following are not by PS 20 Group; Alarm relay RA, and Relay P).
Solenoid Valve SV and timer T will be energized when the blower moves away from its PARK
position and actuate Limit Switch LS-4. SV, PS and timer T form the cooling air supply interlock. If
cooling air is not sensed within the time relay period (10 seconds), relay RA will be energized to
bring in the alarm. The probe will be caused to retract to its PARK position. Loss of cooling air
during operation will also energize the alarm relay.
The control push button function as follows:
EXTEND -
Depress this push button to cause the probe to extend into the boiler.As the
probe moves away from its AT REST position, it will trip LS-3 and LS-4 limit
switches. When the probe reaches its fully extended position, it will momentarily
trip limit switch LS-1 causing the probe to retract. This circuit will be through
closed RET and LS 3 contacts to the RET motor starter.
RETRACT Depress this pushbutton to cause the probe to retract to its fully retracted position.
The probe will not remain in its fully retracted position, but will be caused to extend as it momentarily
10
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 6 - 101
trips limit switch LS-2, creating a circuit to the EXT motor starter.
STOP
PARK
4.3
Depress this pushbutton to stop the probe, at any position, on the EXTEND or
RETRACT cycle, to take a reading to continue the EXTEND or RETRACT
cycle, depress the desired pushbutton to reinstate the circuit.
-
Depress the pushbutton to cause the probe to return to the fully retracted position
and stop. The probe will also be caused to PARK if the RA alarm is brought in.
Emergency Retraction
Using a hand crank, the lance can be retracted manually in case of emergency. Before using the hand
crank the power supply to the drive motor should be disconnected and the drive should be declutched.
For declutching pull out the coupling item 05 of Drg. 3-00-073- 60108 and turn about 900 clockwise
thereby the spring lock provided will lock the coupling in the declutched position. For clutching just
turn the coupling lock 900 anticlockwise which will keep the coupling engaged with sprocket. A
slight adjustment of the sprocket may be necessary in some cases to align the clutch jaws with the
sprocket.
4.4
Setting and Installation Instructions for the slidewire Type position Indicator.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1
Lubrication
Replacement
A. Thermocouple Replacement
i.
Before replacing the thermocouple, the following checks are recommended to insure that
the replacement is necessary:
a.
Check all the wiring for breaks and insure that all electrical connections are tight.
b.
With the boiler operating run the probe tube forward approximately 300 mm to
place the tip in the higher gas temperature. The temperature read out device should
indicate an increase in temperature if the thermocouple is operating satisfactorily.
c.
An alternate method will be to apply heat to the thermocouple and observe the
thermocouple output using a portable potentiometer.
d.
ii.
Remove the housing cover in the out board end and the travelling carriage cover to have
an access to the thermocouple disconnecting plugs. Disconnect the thermocouple extension
wire from the compensating cable.
iii.
Pull back the travelling carriage to the extreme out board end and support the lance tube
at two places so that it will not damage to compensating cables. Disconnect the lance
flange from the travelling carriage.
iv.
Push the lance inside to some distance so that the thermocouple extension wire is out of
the travelling carriage and remove the lance by tilting and pulling back from the boiler.
v.
Loosen the S.S. compression fitting which fixes the thermocouple to the lance and the
thermocouple guide. Pull out the thermocouple from the flange side after attaching a wire
or string to the thermocouple.
vi.
B.
Follow the above procedure in reverse for assembling the new thermocouple. Use high
temperature antiseize thread compound in all the threads for easy removal.
Potentiometer Replacement:
The variable potentiometer used in the position transmitters assembly is limited mechanically to a
maximum of 10 revolutions of the input drive shaft. Eventhough the maximum possible travel of the
probe utilizes only about 8 revolutions, in order to safeguard the potentiometer at either end of the
10 turn range, proper care should be taken during installation. When replacing the potentiometer,
turn the potentiometer shaft clockwise to the full 10 turn and then turn counter clockwise half turn
before mounting the unit. The position is corresponding to the fully retracted position of the probe.

DO NOT LEAVE THE LANCE FOR A LONG TIME WITH BLOWING MEDIUM
INSIDE THE BOILER. (IT WILL DAMAGE THE BOILER TUBES, IF KEPT
INSIDE WITH BLOWING MEDIUM).
The LRD-IIE model Soot Blower is a boiler cleaning device in which a rotating lance extends
into and retracts from the boiler to make sure that the cleaning medium-steam air-directed
through the nozzles, removes the deposits from tube or wall surfaces.
The lance (item 07) is attached to a carriage housing (item 5) which runs on tracks inside the
blower housing. The carriage and lance are moved by means of a traversing chain (item 15)
operated by a 0.56 kW electric power pack (item 2). Rotary motion is applied to the lance
through the travelling carriage by a second chain (item 16) driven by a separate 0.75 kW
electric power pack (item 3). Control movement is by a stop limit switch and a reverse limit
switch (items 11 and 12).
The unit can be supplied with different traversing and rotating speeds. Standard traversing
speeds are available in various increments from 1.25 to 3.65 m. per minute. Standard rotating
speeds are available in various increments from 4.25 rpm to 7.75 rpm. These speed variations
are accomplished by changing the power pack and jack shaft drive sprockets. Other speeds
are possible for special application by the use of special sprockets.
Normally the blowers will be supplied with 1.65 m/min and 5.92 rpm.
Flow of blowing medium through the retractable soot blower is controlled by the valve (item
4 detailed description is given under the head SBV head -) mounted at the rear end of the
blower. The feed pipe item no. 08 is attached to the outlet of this valve head. This feed pipe
passes through packing gland in the traveling carriage and lies inside the lance tube (item 07)
extending to almost the entire length of the blower.
The wheels on the travelling carriage run on tracks welded to the inside of the blower housing
(item 1). Sideways motion is limited by a roller on each side of the carriage which use the
housing sides as guides.
8
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 139
The ends of traversing chain are connected to each end of the carriage (3-00-073-60095). The
rotary chain is continuous (3-00-073-60096). It passes over sprockets on the carriage and
causes rotation through a gear train.
The lance is flanged to the carriage and supported on the boiler end by bearing and yoke plate.
(item 6)
The electric gear box on the right side is for traversing and the electric gear box on the left
side is for rotation when viewed from the rear end of the blower.
Motion is transmitted from the gear boxes to jack shafts on each side of the blower.
Tension on the internal chains are adjusted by adjusting the screws on chain tighteners which
hold the idler sprockets on the outboard end of the unit.
The housing completely covers the blower except the traversing and rotating gear boxes.
The housing is open at the bottom except for tie bars at intervals. A section of the top of the
housing near the rear end of the blower is cut away to, allow access to the travelling carriage.
The access areas have removable cover. A short section of the track at the rear is removable to
permit removing the travelling carriage for major maintenance.
The soot blower valve head item No. 04 is operated by a trip pin (item No. 18 of
(0-00-073-60021) on the top of the travelling carriage which engage a trip cam item No. 27
and through the trip rod item No. 30 linkage and valve lever item No. 25 causes the head
valve to open or close.
The stroke of the head valve is governed by the length of the trip rod. To change the valve
stroke, loosen the jam nuts where it screws into the rod connection and
turn the rod.
One end of the rod has a right hand thread, the other end in left hand. When the desired length
is attained tighten the join nuts. The spring on the trip rod should be adjusted to eliminate all
looseness in the assembly.
1.2
The Soot Blower Valve head allows the blowing pressure of the blower to beadjusted by
limiting the stroke of the valve. Where it is necessary to reduce the pressure greatly, a fixed
orifice may be installed in the head inlet flange.
The stroke of the head valve is governed by adjustment of the drive screw which contacts the
head valve stem. In the closed position, a minimum clearance of 1mm must be maintained
between adjusting screw and valve stem, to assure tight valve seating.
In general, slag removal will necessitate blowing pressure of 10-16 kg./cm. Soot and fly ash
will need 8-15 kg/cm and for dust removal, pressure may be as low as 7 kg/cm. In locations
of high gas temperatures, the flow from the lance is determined by cooling requirements of
the lance and may exceed 75 cubic metres per min. of air or 4,500 kg per hour of steam. This
cooling requirement is determined by the furnace gas temperature in which the blower is
operating and the number of square inches of lance surface exposed to these furnace
temperatures. Obviously a 6 metre lance requires a higher flow of blowing medium to keep
it cool than a 3 metre lance. Likewise a 3 metre lance of 76.1 O.D. requires less cooling than
a 3 metre lance of 108 O.D. Always refer to the general arrangement drawing (refer General
Instructions) for a recommended blowing pressure.
CAUTION
: DO NOT ADJUST THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT SCREW SO THAT
EVEN IN COMPLETELY RETRACTED POSITION THE VALVE IS KEPT IN OPEN
CONDITION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1
GENERAL
A wall sleeve and lance scraper plate are provided with each soot blower. The scraper plate
usually just floats on the lance.
In cases where tube and wall movement are identical the sleeve is Welded to both and the
retractable unit is hinged to the sleeve.
The outboard mounting is from auxiliary., steel. via a -hinge hanger arrangement which allows
the boiler end to move with the walls.
For particular information regarding any installation, refer to job drawings. For either type
installation, support members must be installed to avoid interfering with travelling carriage
operation. All supports should be securely made to prevent vibration, which could subject the
supply piping to fatigue strain.
2.2
PIPING
A companion flange, complete with gaskets and fasteners is supplied with each unit. This
flange is to be attached to the blowing medium supply piping. The piping must be free of
strain and have flexibility to allow the blower to move.
2.3
WIRING
Refer to wiring diagrams 3-00-073-60004 for full information on power and control wiring
integral with the blower.
3. ERECTION CHECKS

OPERATION
i)
General
As the start button is pressed the unit begins to extend and rotate. As the nozzles clear the
boiler Wall the carriage strikes the cam, opening the head and blowing commences. At the
fully extended position the travelling carriage strikes the reverse limit switch, (item No. 12 of
main assembly) which closes. momentarily to reverse the unit. As the carriage retracts, it
again strikes the cam closing the - SBV head. The travelling carriage continues its rearward
travel until the cleaning nozzle is retracted into the protection of the wall box at which time
the stop limit switch (item No. 11 in the main assembly) is struck to stop the unit.
(ii)
Frequency
The frequency of Soot Blower operation depends on the operating conditions of the boiler
and boiler cleanliness. Some events which may indicate the need for cleaning are, increase in
boiler exit gas temperature, increase in gas pressure loss across the boiler (assuming constant
boiler load) and visual inspection.
It is important when starting up a boiler that the soot blowers be used frequently, and soon
after lighting off. Inefficient combustion in a boiler during start up may result in abnormal
deposits on the tubes. Unless these are removed frequently, furnace explosions or puffs may
result later. It is usually also desirable to use the soot blowers just before taking a boiler out of
service.
Care must be taken to avoid extending the lance into the boiler without flow of blowing
medium, or in subjecting the lance to temperatures in excess of 550C.
If the lance becomes stalled when partially extended, allow blowing to continue in order to
cool the lance until manual emergency retract Procedure is taken up. When first placing the
12
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 143
blower in service make sure it is in good mechanical condition and that flow of blowing
medium is established properly.
When the soot blowers are not being used, the main blowing medium valve should be closed
tightly.
5.3
(i)
(ii)
(a)
(b)
Close the main stop valve of soot blower system to shut off steam/air supply.
(c)
Insert the handcrank on the worm shaft and rotate until the blower reaches
starting position.
Warning
(a)
No soot blower should be operated for a second time within one hour interval
to avoid damage to motor windings.
(b)
No soot blower should be operated without blowing medium when the boiler
is on.
(c)
Soot blower should never be manually operated with steam. At the time of
any failure of power or control supply during operation of soot blower, the
blower should be immediately brought to its starting position to avoid any
possible damage to heating surfaces or lance tube. At the end of the traversing
gear box, a slotted stub shaft is provided for hand cranking. After removing
the cap, a hand crank can be engaged to move the lance manually. One hand
crank is normally furnished with each blower.
It is also possible to move the gear box with a portable air motor.
(SPEC: Pneumatic drill suitable adopter for stubbed shaft; SPEED 275
to 300 rpm)
6.
(d)
No soot blower lance should be left with blowing medium inside the boiler
for a long time. Failure of bringing the lance to the start position will lead to
damage boiler tubes and the lance.
(e)
Check for steam leakage in the travelling carriage gland packing. Aslightamount of leakage is
required and permitted. If leakage is excessive change the packing. The entire packing set
should be changed at one time. Follow the instructions for changing the packing. Check for
scoring marks on the feed tube.
13
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 144
6.2
(a)
Check the travelling carriage and valve for steam leakage. If steam leakage is noticed
tighten the glands and watch the performance during the next Operation.
(b)
Check for the steam leak through valve seat. A HOT lance tube (when the line is
charged with steam) is the indication of steam leak through seat, if it is supported by
the hissing noise of steam leakage.
(c)
(d)
Check the angle tracks and chain. If ash building is noticed, clean them.
6.3
At 6 month intervals
(a)
Check chain tension of both rotary drive and traversing drive chain. These chains
should be adjusted to ride on the upper angle iron track and on the lower turned
edge of the main housing. The chain should be supported and carried free from
either the driver or the idler end sprockets, or both, for a minimum distance of 750
mm and a maximum distance of 1 metre. Refer Drg. 4-20-001-00523.
(b)
Check chain tension of both jack shaft drive chain. The jack shaft drive chains
should be tightened so that normal hand pressure will depress either side of the
chain at the mid point approximately 25 mm.
(c)
(d)
Check both Stop and Reverse limit switches. The actuating arms should be
tight and secure on the switch pivots. The pivots should be free of paints or oil so
that no hinderance or binding of movement occurs. The actuating arm should be
correctly adjusted so as to pass freely through the slots in the housing and be properly
engaged by the travelling carriage slide roller.
6.4
(a)
Check gaskets at travelling and rotary gear box covers. (Gaskets may have. dried
and shrunk permitting oil seepage). Cap screws on covers should be. tightened.
Replace gaskets if seepage is excessive.
(b)
Check oil level in travelling carriage gear boxes. Add recommended lubricant, if
necessary. Refer to LUBRICATION SECTION of General Instructions. (Pub. No.
7501)
(c)
Check oil in the reduction gear boxes on the traversing and rotary power packs. Add
recommended lubricant, if necessary. Refer to Lubrication Section of General
Instructions.
(d)
Check complete assembly. Tighten loose bolts, nuts and cap screws. Replace missing
cotter pins and springs.
(e)
(f)
Coat the threaded components with Molyka or antiseize compound so that the rusting
will be prevented.
(g)
Check the valve stem assembly for pitting and if pitting is severe replace the stem
with a new one. Apply Molyka on the stem while assembly.
14
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 145
(h)
Check the mountings and hanger supports of blower. The hinge pin should be
secured by cotter pins. Lock clamp washers are required to secure mounting shoulder
bolts.
(i)
Using the local start button with the blowing medium of the unit under normal operating
conditions, test, operate each individual blower.
Along with the mechanical operation of each blower the blowing pressure also should be
checked by using pressure gauge, in the SBV operating head. The recommended blowing
pressure is shown on the general arrangement drawings Blowing pressure chart.
This manual check is essential to assure that excessive blowing pressures are not incurred
what would cause boiler tube wastage.
6.5
Shut-down checks
In addition to the annual checks as in 6.4 the following checks are to be carried out :
(a)
Check whether the boiler tubes have eroded. If thickness is reduced to a very low
value provide of shielding.
(b)
Check the gap between the lance tube and the boiler tube. The gap should be kept
min. of 100 mm. For the blowers located in the second pass, the gap between the
lance tube, (at the extended condition) and the coil edge is to be checked. The
minimum distance of 100 mm is to be maintained.
(c)
6.6
(a)
(b)
Packing on the feed tube in the travelling carriage and the valve stem in the SBV
operating head should be tightened. When packing glands are fully down and leakage
is still present, the units should be marked for repacking after the blowing medium is
turned off and the header secured and tagged.
(c)
(d)
Internal Inspections
(i)
Check to see that nozzles are not worn, cracked or split. Examine inner wall sleeve
edges to make sleeves are not breaking down under heat and thus failing to protect
nozzle heads when they are retracted. See that nozzles are properly retracted for
protection.
(ii)
Examine thoroughly all tubes cleaned by these units by rubbing the hands over them
to determine if there are any grooves or flat spots indicating erosion or cutting. Tube
15
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 146
Space between Water wall tubes where these lances enter is sometimes limited by
boiler construction. Check to see that lances enter the centre of the operating without
striking the boiler tube which could thus be damaged.
(iv)
Lances should be straight and true. Straightening procedures as outlined for Rotary
Equipment can be followed.
(ii)
Take care when mounting long retractables. Where outboard bearing or boiler end
of the unit is supported and attached to the boiler, the other point should be attached
to structural steel. The boiler will move under heat and load. Thus if more than one
point is attached to steel structures, twisting and bending of the unit will occur with
boiler load changes.
(iii)
All units of this type have some sort of the telescoping tube or feed tube running
through a packing gland. Surfaces passing through these glands should be clean,
smooth and free from burrs, cuts of scoring. If they cannot be cleaned, they should
be replaced to prevent excessive packing replacement or damage to mating parts.
(iv)
6.7
Lubrication
The capacity of the travelling carriage is 1 litre of gear oil. We recommend SERVOMESH 28
for air blowing and 0.6 kg of SERVOGEM HTXX for steam blowing. Where SERVOGEM
HTXX or equivalent is used in the travelling carriage, the grease, after it has been run through
a few operations will find its own level. The volume of this grease should be approximately
half-way on the hollow spindle as a maximum, minimum should be upto the oil level plug.
(if temperatures of blowing steam exceeds 427C use Almasol 1250).
The reduction gear boxes on the motor power packs have a capacity of 0.75 litre each. Also
the recommended lubricant is SERVOMESH 28. Replace the pipe plugs in the highest opening
in the box with air vents provided loose. Should the chains be subject to caustic or corrosive
atmosphere or extremely high humidity conditions they may require lubrication. Failure to
properly tighten and constantly maintain packing in the travelling carriage of steam blowing
installations will rapidly deplete lubrication on the drive chains.
Chains should be lubricated as soon as they show signs of rust or any of the external
parts. Should chains be badly rusted and corroded in the pins and rollers and the movement
(or articulation) lost, no amount of penetrating oil or lubrication will free those parts which
have seized up. Two-fold lubrication is recommended, when required:
For the first step of the chain lubrication procedure, a light body penetrating fluid should be
applied not only to wash out rust, fly ash, and debris but also to act as a carrier to help the
heavier, lasting lubricant enter the close clearances between pins and rollers.
16
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 147
We recommend for the first coat Trichloroethylene. Since this penetrating spray must be thin,
it will volatilize and evaporate rather quickly. The application of a heavier more permanent
lube must follow immediately while the penetrating oil is still present, to carry the heavy lube
to the working parts. We recommend for the second coat, Light oil to the grade of SAE-30.
The second coat, should be applied as a thin coat with brush so as to cover and penetrate the
bearing areas. Too much of the lubricant will trap the flyash and will make the chain stiff and
loose the articulation. The Indian Oil grade of SAE-30 will be SERVOLINE-140.
6.8
The lance tube and feed tube can be removed from the bottom of the blower. For their removal
proceed as follows :
(i)
Remove M20 nuts attaching the SBV valve head to the blower and remove the
head.
(ii)
(iii)
Slide the feed tube out of several centimeters and remove two feed pipe retainer
ring halves.
(iv)
Disconnect the lance flange from the travelling carriage. Slide the feed tube into the
lance several centimeters. The lance should be supported by a sling through the
housing.
(v)
Remove tie bars from the bottom of housing at the head end to allow the lance to be
dropped.
(vi)
Lower the end of the lance and feed pipe and pull the lance out of the roller bearing
at the boiler end of the blower and slide it out of the blower housing.
(vii)
To reassemble the lance and feed pipe, follow the steps in reverse order.
6.9
Packing Installation
(i)
The travelling carriage utilizes a formed packing set. The packing gland nuts should
be drawn up tight enough to effect a seal but not excessive enough to restrict the
travel of the carriage.
(ii)
(a)
The useful life of packing is dependent on the method of installation. Poor installation
can cause the best packing tofail prematurely. The methods in this procedure, if
followed, will lead to better sealing and longer life.
These packing methods apply both to installing packing in new equipment and
replacing packing in equipment that is in service.
(b)
apart. Spot the joints in clockwise direction to facilitate locating them when removing and
packing.
Install the rings one at a time. Each ring must be set firmly into place with either the gland
or a tamping tool as shown in Drg. 4-20-996-01241. After each ring is installed, the ring must
be compressed with approximately the same force that it will have with the final gland force.
Each ring should be equally compressed when the entire set is installed. If this is not done,
only the last ring will do the sealing and will wear quickly.
Bevelled packing is to be installed with the bevel lip on the shaft pointing toward the pressure.
One end of the tamping tool is angled for bevelled packing. Fit the bevel on the packing to the
bevel on the tool.
Oil or grease may be applied to the outside of braided asbestos packing to help in installing it
in the stuffing box.
Tighten the gland follower, sufficiently tight, after the packing has been installed to insure
final seating of the packing. The nuts should be backed off two or three turns to relieve excessive
pressure. Adjust packing to operating conditions.
Allow packing to leak a small amount, if possible, when starting newly packed equipment.
Tighten the gland slowly as the packing seats.
Do not be afraid to let packing leak a small amount. It is good assurance that packing is not
too tight and the liquid usually has some lubricating qualities.
(c)
The new packings on the soot blower valve head assembly can be easily assembled removing
the valve from the soot blower.
If packings are installed with the valve mounted on the blower, care should be taken to see the
valve stem assembly does not fall in the soot blower pipe line.
Install the rings one at a time. Each ring must be set firmly into place using the gland bushing.
Follow the Installation procedwe as suggested in 6.7 (b).
For assembling the spring retainer of the valve (item 08 of 1-00-073-60003), use the spring
tool as suggested in the drawing 4-00-073-60158.
When renewing packing, use all new clean packing. Worn packings are dry, highly compressed,
have high friction and may develop scoring. Remember packing is relatively cheap. Labour
and materials necessary to replace worn valve stems are expensive and critical commodities.
The most expensive seal is a seal that fails.
Light gland pressure should be maintained at all times. Too much pressure will cause binding,
scoring of the shaft and force the lubricant out the packing. Too little gland pressure will
allow excessive leakage and washing out of the packing.
When the packing has been compressed to less than 3/4 of its original height, it should be
replaced. The loss of height in packing may indicate a loss of essential lubricant.
6.10 Chain Tension Adjustment (Drg. No. 4-20-001-00523)
The chain must ride on the upper angle iron track and on the lower turned edge of the main
housing. Under no circumstances can the chain be so tight that it will be supported only by the
drive and idler sheave sprockets.
When the chain is being adjusted, the chain should be supported and carried free from either
or both end sprockets, that is either the driver or the idler for a minimum distance of 750 mm
and a maximum of 1000 mm from the sprocket to the track.
18
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 7 - 149
The mid-point of the chain from 750to 1000 mm of the driver and 750 to 1000 mm of the
idler must ride on the lower rail.
6.11 Spares
In the enclosed drawings spares that are recommended for stock by the user, are marked by
S. While ordering spares the item number and drawing number as found in the Bill of
material and details furnished in the soot blower name plate must be indicated for quick
supply of these items. Section 10 gives the recommended list of standard spares.

Never allow the aspirator or air seal to be open ended when the boiler is in service without
having aspirating air ON.
The air seal should be reassembled by reversing the above procedure. Determine, that the
nozzle head is in the proper position. When the air seal chamber is secured the aspirating air
should be turned OFF and the seal air should be ON.
NOTE:
The proper location of these soot blower nozzles should be checked prior to start-up and at
every outage. Should nozzle openings straddle the scraper plate or be on the inboard side, the
seal will be lost and furnace gas will escape which will destroy the lance tip.
Where design dictates that the blower lance be extra, long, so as to extend any blowing nozzle
beyond this air seal (or where half tract blowers are employed) with nozzles on the furnace
side of the scraper plate, while the blower is at rest special provisions are made to seal or
purge furnace gases from the blower.
Forced Pressure Air Valve
For those installations where nozzles are on furnace side of seal air chamber, a forced pressure air valve is located on the soot blower valve. Seal air is supplied to the forced pressure air
valve, by tubing connected to the seal air header. The forced pressure air valve acts as a check
valve to retain high pressure steam in the operating head valve while blowing. After blowing
has been completed, a small spring opens the check to admit seal air to the blower lance and
drive out furnace gases.
Check contract drawings and specifications to determine aspirator and seal air volume required. This will vary, depending on furnace pressure; there of, specifications on contract
drawings should be checked and followed.
Seal air pressure differential can be checked by extending the retracted soot blower nozzles to
the furnace side of the seal air chamber and through the wall sleeve into the furnace cavity
several inches. The blower is extended as far as possible without actuating the blowing valve
linkage. This will place the blowing nozzles in the furnace area, which will allow furnace
pressure into the lanceand back to the soot blower valve.
CAUTION:
The furnace pressure reading can then be obtained on this individual soot blower by installing
a manometer in the 3/8 inch tap on the soot blower valve normally used to measure blowing
pressures.
The seal air pressure should be measured as close as possible to the inlet to theair seal downstream of all air hose fittings and branch line connections. This usually requires a tap in the
last fitting to the air seal manifold valve. The tap can be 1/8 or 1/4 inch pipe thread and a
standard pipe plug used to close the opening when readings have been completed.
With the lance extended and one leg of a U tube manometer connected to the soot blower
valve tap and the other leg of the manometer to the seal air supply (as described above) the
differential pressure between seal air supply and furnace presssure may be read directly on the
U tube.

At least two readings should be taken under two or more boiler load conditions. Readings are
desirable at nominal or high boiler loads and at relatively low boiler loads. These readings
should be checked against contract data to insure adequate seal air pressure and flow are
available.
Cover
Along with the air seal and aspirator assembly a cover is supplied separately for covering the
furnace opening, in case the seal is to be kept opened for extended period.

INTRODUCTION
The following pages contain a recommended procedure for the erection and start-up of all types of
Soot Blowers and Furnace Temperature Probe manufactured by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited,
Tiruchirapalli. Detailed operation and maintenance instructions are dealt in separate manuals.
The contents are compiled from the expertise available with us. Sufficient care has been taken to
include salient points on erection and commissioning based on the observations made at site as well
as on the feed back available from site.
Every possible care has been taken to ensure- the contents are accurate. Generally the procedure
has been profusely illustrated. It must be recognized that no amount of written instructions can
replace intelligent thinking and reasoning on the part of the erectors, especially when coping with
individual site conditions.
Suggestions for the improvement of the manual would be welcome.

(g)
(h)
(i)
(j)
Plan for tools, tackles, rigging and handling facilities required for the installation of the
Blowers.
(v)
Ensure that all documents like Erection Manuals, Erection Drawings and other relevant
documents are available before commencement of the erection. If not contact BHEL,
Tiruchy for complete documents.
(vi)
Programme a sequence of erection in relation to the type of the blowers being erected.
Economics and safety are equally important while erecting the blowers.
(i)
Transport
The soot blower assemblies are shipped completely covered with water proof coverings. UNLESS
THE BLOWERS ARE TAKEN FOR IMMEDIATE ERECTION, DO NOT DISTURB THE
10
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 8 - 203
Storage
Normally storage under covered roof is not necessary for soot blowers. When the water proof
covers are removed, wall deslaggers; and rotary blowers must be stored under covered roof if the
interval between soot blower erection and receipt is more than one month.
Always use the lifting lugs or hooks provided to avoid damage to the connected parts Similarly
avoid hitting the assembly against the structures or other boiler components while the soot blowers
are being lifted.
Ensure that the air vent plug in the gear boxes are in place. Avoid leaving open holes in the gear
boxes. IF THE STORAGE PERIOD IS LIKELY TO EXCEED 2 MONTHS FILL THE GEAR
BOXES WITH OIL FOR PROTECTION.
Support the blowers properly during storage. Avoid stacking the blower or placing heavy weights
on the blowers.
(iii)
Weight
(a)
LongRetract: The weight varies with the travel. For actual values refer 4-00-073-60088.
(b)
(c)
(d)
Furnace Temperature Probe: The weight varies with travel. For actual weight refer
4-00-073-60089.
Supports
The long retractable soot blowers are to be supported at both boiler and rear ends. Unless otherwise
indicated in the drawing, the boiler end shall not be supported in the platforms. (Refer Drg.
4-00-073-60016).
Long retracts are normally slopped towards the boiler when the unit is working. To achieve this,
while erecting due consideration shall be given to the boiler expansion so that at boiler hot conditions
the blower will be slopping towards the boiler. This is to aid condensate drainage into the boiler after
the blowing operation is over. (Refer Drgs. 3-00-073-60045, 3-00-073-60046 & 4-00-073-60063).
The retractable soot blowers are also to be erected inclined considering the horizontal expansion, so
that when the boiler is working the blower will be perpendicular to the wall in the horizontal plane.
The expansion values at different soot blower points are given in the soot blower piping drawings.
NOTE: THIS SLOPE WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO HALF RETRACTS AND TUBULAR
AIR HEATER CLEANERS.
(ii)
Lifting
While lifting the long retractable soot blower take care to see that no damage is caused to the wiring
and other components by hitting with other structures. Use only the lifting lugs. It is suggested to
have wooden blocks on the sides of the housing so that the slings will not damage the electrical
wiring while lifting.
11
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 8 - 204
General
Ensure adequate clearance for the lance removal.
Weld the wall boxes with the seal box in such away that the wall box centre line is
perpendicular to the water wall and concentric to the opening (Refer Drgs. 3-00-073-60045
& 3-00-073-60046).
If the lance does not travel perpendicular to the water wall, at the end of forward travel, the gap
between the lance and the nearby tube will be very small. This may lead to erosion and damage to
boiler tubes.
(c)
The mounting lugs should be kept horizontal (Refer Drg. 3-00-073-60049) while welding
the wall sleeve assembly.
(d)
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the correct blower is erected at the correct location. (Refer
Drg. 3-00-073-60039). The blower number on the name plate should correspond to the
location number in the drawing. All the long retractable blowers are not identical. For example
the size, shape, and position of the nozzle, the material composition of the lance etc., will be
different. Interchanging of the blower will result in damage of the lance tube. Record the
blower Number in 13A Check Sheet Blower Number.
(e)
After erecting the long retracts, move the lance forward and backward to check whether
the gap between the lance edge and the boiler tubes is uniform after considering the
allowance kept for horizontal vertical expansion.
(f )
After the electrical connections have been completed, close the terminal box with the
terminal box cover. The cover should be tightened with all screws and gaskets to make
the terminal box weather proof. The incoming cables should be flexible to take up blower
movements and the connections should be properly sealed.
(g)
Check whether the scraper plate in the blower assembly rides on the lance loosely. There
should not be any binding.
(h)
In the case of pressurised boiler ensure that the nozzle does not lie in the seal chamber
(Refer Drg. 1-00-073-60059).
(i)
Do not remove the flange protection plate and the wooden block attached to the
blower
near the boiler end, till, the blower is installed. These will protect
the blower parts and the
sealing face of the flange.
(j)
While erecting the blower ensure that the minimum access is available for maintenanc.Refer
Drg. 4-00-073-60072. It is not possible to alter the soot blower locations, since these are
linked up with the boiler tubes inside. Modification can be only on the structures and
platforms wherever required.
(k)
Do not place any heavy objects on the blowers. They are not designed for taking such
heavy loads.
(l)
For Air Operated Long Retracts, install the lubricator and filter very close to the blower
(Refer Drg. 3-00-073-60044).
(m)
IMPORTANT: THE AIR INLET CONNECTIONS SHALL BE KEPT COVERED TILL THE
AIR PIPING IS CONNECTED.
12
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 8 - 205
Supports
The wall deslaggers are not to be separately supported unles otherwise specified. The wall deslagger
along with its wall box should be welded with the seal box (Refer Drg. 3-00-073-60041).
(ii)
Lifting
Use the eye bolt provided for lifting the wall deslagger see Fig. Since some of the components like
gear housing etc., are made of aluminium, care should be taken while lifting the blowers so that
these parts will not get damaged.
IMPORTANT: Careless handling will break the casting connecting the switch box. DO NOT
REMOVE THE WOODEN PLATFORMS TILL THE BLOWER IS ERECTED. (Refer Drg.
3-00-073-60047)
(iii)
General
(a)
Ensure adequate clearance for access to the.switch box and hand cranking (Refer Drg.
4-00-073-60073).
(b)
IMPORTANT: WELD THE WALL BOX WITH THE SEAL BOX IN SOCH A WAY
THAT THE WALL BOX CENTRE LINE IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE WATER
WALL. IF THIS IS KEPT UP, THE NOZZLE CENTRE LINE WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BE PARALLEL TO THEWATERWALL. WALL BOX SLEEVE
ALSO SHOULD BE CONCENTRIC TO THE SLEEVE BOX OTHERWISE
INTERFERENCE OF THE SWIVEL TUBE WITH THE WATER WALL WILL
RESULT (Refer Drgs. 3-00-073-60041 & 4-00-073-60062).
(c)
Distance of centre line of clearing nozzle to face the boiler tubes to be cleaned must be 38
mm. (Refer Drg. 4-00-073-60057). This should be set from inside the furnace only. After
this is set by mounting studs and nuts, punch mark the setting on the alignment plate,
taking the wall box flange as the reference. This will be helpful for quick adjustment for
setting, if blowers are dismantled and re-erected for detailed instructions see (iv) Nozzle
adjustment.
(d)
Ensure the incoming cables to the switch box are flexible and supported externally.
Connections shall be sealed water tight.
(e)
The piping for wall blower should always be supported on the buckstays, furnace guides
etc., and never on the supporting structures of platform (Refer Drg. 4-00-073-60017).
(f )
Never allow anybody to stand on the wall deslaggers. This will damage the components
and also whatever adjustment done earlier will be lost. See Fig. 8. NEGLIGENCE OF
THIS WILL RESULT IN TUBE FAILURE.
(g)
Ensure the blower with the correct blower number is erected at the correct location.
Some wall deslaggers may have limited angle blowing arrangement.
(h)
Do not place any heavy load on the blower especially on the switch box. If this is NOT
FOLLOWED THE SWITCH MOUNT CONNECTOR WILL BREAK.
(i)
Before erection, verify whether the nozzle is pointing downwards. If not mark up those
units for adjustments during start up.
13
1610 - 1611 VOL - C1 TAB - 8 - 206
(iv)
Nozzle adjustment
Nozzle alignment should be made from inside the furnace, referencing the centre line of the nozzle
and wall tube surface, with the nozzle opening parallel to the wall tubes. If the units are set from
outside the boiler through expediency, they should be checked from inside at the first opportunity.
A tool (gauge) for checking the 38 mm nozzle position is supplied in PGMA 20-998 and this could
be used for setting the nozzle position properly thig method of checking from inside is preferred.
Since it is not always possible or practical to check and adjust the location of the wall blower nozzle
from inside the boiler, the following procedure can be used for determining the nozzle location from
outside the boiler, with blower removed. Care must be taken to make sure the proper A dimension
is established between the centre line of the nozzle and the face of the tube (usually 38 mm). Refer
to job drawings for the proper dimensions. The swivel tube should be fully extended with the hand
crank and a measurement taken from the centreline of the nozzle to the face to steam chest flange.
This is shown as dimension B on Drg. 4-00-073-60057.
A rod of sufficient length to reach through the boiler wall, with 76 mm hook bend at 900 to its
longitudinal axis is used, as shown in the drawing, to establish the location of the inside adjustment
nuts on the mounting studs in relation to the tube. This is shown as dimension C. (This is to be
carried out before mounting the blower.)
Dimension Cis equal to dimension Bminus dimension A. The length Co should then be marked
on the rod and the adjusting nuts set to this dimension.Otten the unit is installed, it should be checked
to make sure that it is prependicular with the boiler wall, to ensure cleaning through the full blowing
arc.
The sweep should then be set, if possible, so that the nozzle is pointing down, or in the 6 Oclock
position, when the head opens. This helps to prevent tube cutting from condensate since the
nozzle blows parallel with the tube when the head first opens and condensate is blown of before
the jet sweeps across tubes (Refer Drg. 4-00-073-60057).

Carry out the hydraulic test at the pressure of 70 Kg/cm2 g in the piping. While doing so
check whether all the flanges are blanked with blank flange supplied in P.G. 21. The soot
blower valve heads are not to be included. DO NOT PRESSURIZE THE VALVE MORE
THAN THE T.C. VALVE
(h)
The practice of steam blowing the main line (main vertical header) through the drain valve will result
in incomplete cleaning of the branch line, which may lead to valve failure and Scoring of the finely
ground feed tube and swivel tube.
TO AVOID THIS, BLOW THE INDIVIDUAL LINES TO SOOT BLOWER SEPARATELY.
During steam blowing protect the valve internals. Use a flat sheet to cover the valve flange and tie it
with the flange, as shown in Drg. 4-00-073-60064. The pressure of steam blowing should be
minimum 15 Kg/cm2g. At this time keep the control valve, full open and drain valve closed. Repeat
the blow 3 or 4 times for each branch.
(i)
Check and record the warming up time required for the piping. Identify the branches
where water hammer is present. Additional drain connections may be required in these
lines, since the slope is not sufficient for draining the condensate (Refer Drg.
4-00-073-60071).
(j)
Check the function of the control valve. Control valve shall be in operation before
commencing the soot blower operation. Check control valve function when the soot
blower is in operation. Safety valves will not open if the control valves are acting fast
enough.
(k)
Check for leakages and binding in the aspirating and seal air lines.
(l)
Check the differential pressure of seal air when the seal air is on. This check will ensure
adequate seal air pressure for each opening (Refer Drg. 1-00-073-60059). Check whether
the measured pressure is correct as given in 4-00-073-60090 (for Retracts and Probe).
