Operator to take measures
immediately to prevent the accident
from worsening thereby reduce the
time and cost spent on the repair
Furnace TV :
- High temperature resistant optical system consists of quartz and corundum, which
can be normally operated in a certain amount of purging air.
- Screen menu setting, remote control in central control room, for forward and retract
movement of camera.
- Horizontal mounting and large field angle probe
- System is equipped with automatic forward and backward protection device, which
can automatically withdraw from furnace when no pressure in cooling air.

SUBCRITICAL (DRUM) SUPERCRITICAL (ONCE-THRU)
Low Load Wet Mode
• Single Element Level Control • BCP in recirculation mode for Load < 30 %
Higher Load • Levelling Vessel Level Control
• Three Element Level Control
• Feedwater to Coal Flow ratio = (7 to 9) : 1
Dry Mode
• BCP stopped for Load > 40%
• Feedwater to Coal Flow ratio = (7 to 9) : 1
• Flow control based on degree of
superheat (21-35 deg)

Feed Water Control
Main objective in Super Critical Boiler FW control
system is –
a) To maintain Level of the Levelling Vessel at Wet Mode
b) To maintain Deg. Of Superheat at Separator Outlet
c) To maintain FW flow to Fuel Flow Ratio

Feed Water Control
Degree of Superheat is maintained in the separator outlet in the
range of 21 - 35 degC
Why Degree of Superheat ?
> 35 deg C : May lead to overheating of water wall tubes.
< 21 deg C : May lead to flow of wet steam to SH coils.
Note : Bias for degree of superheat > 21 degC is in Operators
