FSSS
Introduction

The furnace safeguard supervisory system (FSSS) is designed to ensure the execution of safe, orderly
operating sequence in the start up and shutdown of fuel firing equipments and to prevent errors or omissions
and commissions in following such a safe operating procedure.
The system provides protection, should there be a malfunction of fuel firing equipments and associated
air systems. The safety features of the system are designed for protection in most common emergency
situation.

Basically the system is designed to perform the following functions:-

1) Prevent any fuel firing unless a satisfactory furnace purge sequence has first been completed.
2) Prevent start-up of individual fuel firing equipment unless certain permissive interlocks have first been
satisfied.
3) Monitor and control the proper sequence (manual or automatic) during start-up and shutdown of fuel
firing equipment.
4) Make continued operation of fuel firing equipment subject to certain safety interlocks remaining
satisfied.
5) Provide status feedback to the operator and in some cases, to the unit control system.
6) To provide flame supervision when fuel firing equipment is in service and effect a fuel trip upon certain
adverse operating conditions.
7) Initiate a fuel trip when certain abnormal operating condition exists.

The following operational functions are included in FSSS:-

1) Furnaces purge supervision.
2) Secondary air damper modulation on/off control and supervision.
3) Light oil on-off control and supervision.
4) Heavy oil on-off control and supervision.
5) Pulveriser & feeder on-off control and supervision.
6) Flame scanner intelligence and checking.
7) Overall boiler flame failure protection.
8) Boiler trip protection.

 The furnace safeguard supervisory system has been designed for energies to open and de-energies to
close philosophy. This means any on/off device or equipment has to get a continuous command to
maintain its present state and upon loss of power or on removal of this command, it will regain its
original state

12
Furnace purge

Before any fuel firing can take place initially or following a boiler trip), a satisfactory purge cycle must be
completed. To start a furnace purge cycle proceed as follows:-

1) Energies all the system power Supplies (AC & DC).

2) Place atleast one ID (induced draft) fan in service.
3) Place atleast one FD (forced draft) fan in service.
4) Establish a minimum of 30% of full load air flow through the unit and furnace draft at the appropriate
value.
5) Establish a proper water level in the drum.

After the “PURGE READY” and the “PUSH TO PURGE” Signals are available, a furnace purge cycle can be
started. When both these Signals come on it indicates that all the purge requirements are satisfied

Note:-
If both the “PURGE READY” and the “PUSH TO PURGE” Signals do not come on after conditions 1
through 5 above are satisfied, check to see that :-

Permissive for purge ready:-

1) Elevation AB all Light oil nozzle valves are proven closed.

2) The Light oil Trip valve is proven closed.
3) The Heavy oil Trip valve is proven closed.
4) All the Heavy oil nozzle valves are proven closed
5) All feeders are off.
6) All P.A. Fans off.
7) All Hot Air gates are fully closed
8) All flame Scanners show no flame.
9) “No Boiler Trip” (Boiler trip A/B/C) command is present.
10) Air flow between >30%; and <40% MCR.
11) All aux. dampers modulating.

The furnace purge cycle can be started after all the purge requirements are satisfied and the “PURGE
READY” light is on. The furnace purge cycle is started by depressing the PUSH TO PURGE PB. This will start a five
minutes purge timer and the “PURGING” light will come on

Note:-
Loss of the purge permissive at any time during the five minutes purging period will reset the purge
timer. When this happens, the purge requirements must be re-established (“PURGE READY”) and another
furnace purge cycle started by depressing the “PUSH TO PURGE PB”.
At the end of the Five minutes furnace purge cycle, provided the purges permissive remain satisfied, the
boiler trip is reset. This is indicated by the “MFR TRIP” light going off, the “PURGING” and “PUSH TO PURGE”
Lights going off. A “No MFR Trip” condition is now established and the “CAUSE OF TRIP” Memories are reset.
The operator may open the various trip valves as described in the following sections

13
Selection of Light Oil / Heavy Oil Firing
Either Light Oil or Heavy Oil can be fired at elevation AB, when selected by the operator. Provided
All the HO nozzle valves and LO nozzle valves are fully closed AND both pairs have been stopped.
EL. AB LIGHT OIL SELECTED Signal comes When the "Select Light Oil”
Command is given and EL.AB HEAVY OIL SELECTED Signal comes When the "Select Heavy Oil”
Command is given.

Light Oil Trip Valve (LOTV)

Depressing the “Light oil trip valve OPEN PB” after the furnace purge cycle is completed, (boiler trip reset)
will open the light oil trip valve, provided the following conditions are satisfied (Permissive of Light Oil Trip Valve
Open).
 Light oil supply pressure is adequate.
 Elevation AB all the light oil nozzle valves remain closed.

When the oil trip valve open condition is indicated by a light coming on, the “LO elevation trip” command is
removed and LO elevation start permit is now established. Pressing the “LOTV CLOSE” PB will close the valve &
The LOTV will also close automatically under following conditions provided the valve is not closed:

LOTV Auto CLOSE conditions:-

 Master fuel trip

 Any light oil nozzle valve not closed AND Light Oil header pressure very low(From 2/3 logic)
 Any light oil nozzle valve not closed AND Atomizing air pressure very low (From 2/3 logic) AND No light
oil elevation in start or stop in Elevation AB.
The LOTV is commanded to close on Loss of unit Critical Power (+24V DC).

HEAVY OIL TRIP VALVE (HOTV)

The Heavy oil must be heated to the proper temperature to attain the correct viscosity before it can be
fired. This is accomplished by re-circulating the oil through the oil recirculation system by means of HOTV and
HORV. The Heavy OIL RECIRCULATION VALVE MUST BE OPENED BEFORE THE Heavy oil trip valve can be
opened. By pressing the “HO Trip valve OPEN PB” will open the Heavy Oil Trip Valve if either of the following
Conditions are present

HO Trip valve (HOTV) OPEN Conditions:

 HO recirculation valve is fully open AND HO trip valve Close command is present.
OR Both of the following
 All heavy oil nozzle valves are closed AND The heavy oil supply pressure is adequate
 The heavy oil temperature is adequate AND No MFT condition is present.

When the Heavy oil trip valve is opened the “HO Trip Valve OPEN” light comes on. The “Ho elevation trip
command” is removed. “HO Elevation start permit” is now established.

14
HOTV automatically Close conditions are

 Master Fuel Trip AND HO Recirculation valve is not opened

 Atomizing steam pressure very low AND Any Heavy Oil Nozzle valve not Closed AND No HO start or Stop
in any elevation for more than 5 sec.
 Heavy Oil Header Pressure very low AND Heavy Oil nozzle valve not closed.
 Heavy Oil Header Temperature very low AND Heavy Oil nozzle valve not closed.
 Heavy Oil recirculation valve open

The HOTV is commanded to close on Loss of unit Critical Power (+24V DC).

Heavy Oil Recirculation Valve (HORV)

The Heavy oil must be heated to the proper temperature to attain the correct viscosity before it can be
fired. This is accomplished by re-circulating the oil through the system when the heavy oil recirculation valve
and other manual valves are open.

The Heavy OIL RECIRCULATION VALVE MUST BE OPENED BEFORE THE Heavy oil trip valve can be
opened. Depressing the “HO recirculation valve OPEN PB” will open the Ho recirculation valve, provided all
heavy oil nozzle valves are closed. When the recirculation valve is open the “HO RECIRC. VALVE OPEN” light
comes on. The HO trip valve can now be opened. Depressing the “HO recirculation valve CLOSE PB” will close
the HO Recirculation valve.

 HO Recirculation can be performed even during MFT by keeping the HORV & HOTV open.
 Before furnace purge cycle is started HOTV must be proven closed.
Note: - HO Recirculation can be performed even during MFT by keeping the HORV & HOTV open.

2) The upper (elevations D, E, F) and lower (elevations A, B, C) fuel air dampers are opened and transfer to
manual.
3) Transfer the auxiliary air control to manual and open all aux. air dampers.
4) After five sec. the “loss of fuel trip arming” signal is removed and the “loss of fuel trip arming” memory
is reset.
5) The furnace pressure recorder speed is changed for 30 sec. When the furnace pressure is not high and
not low after 30 sec. the recorder reverts to its original speed.
6) After a “Master fuel trip” occurs, a “feed forward to furnace draft control” signal is established for 30
sec. After 30 sec. this signal is removed.
Note:-

“Less than fire ball and loss of AC in any elevation in service” condition occurs, when all the mills are
not in service and there is a loss of power supply (110V AC) at any of the elevation in service. Under this
condition as ignition energy will not be proper ;(no fire ball), the HO elevation (Oil) cannot be allowed to run
without control (as there is no power supply). Hence the boiler has to be tripped to shut down the elevation

Note:-

Loss of All Fuel Trip circuit is armed as soon as oil firing is introduced into the furnace, through any one
of the following conditions i.e., if any oil burner comes into service. This condition also indicates that the
“Boiler is on”.

Condition for all Fuel Trip (any One of the followings)

1) Elevation AB any LO nozzle valves NOT closed

2) Elevation AB any HO nozzle valves NOT closed
3) Elevation CD any HO nozzle valves NOT closed
4) Elevation EF any HO nozzle valves NOT closed

UNIT FLAME FAILURE TRIP

During light up and until any main fuel (coal) is in service at a fire condition, the flame scanners do not
Take part in the overall flame failure protection system. A fire ball condition is established for coal firing when
either or both the adjacent feeders are proven and 2 out of 4 fireball scanners show flame. An elevation voting
for "No Flame" condition is as described below for the respective coal and oil elevations.
Elevation ‘A’:

 Feeder ‘A’ is not proven.

OR
 Elevation ‘AB’ 3 out of 4 Fireball Scanners shows no flame. AND Elevation ‘AB’ HO/LO 2/4 nozzle valves

NOTE:

All elevation voting for “No Flame" as described above will cause a unit trip on Flame Failure, provided
the flame failure circuit is armed. (Unit Flame failure Trip circuit is armed 2 seconds after any coal elevation is
put into service. i.e. any feeder proven.

Scanner Air Fan Control

Two scanner air fans (1 AC main + 1 DC stand-by) are provided for the unit.
Either scanner air fan can be placed in service in the following manner.
Start command to any of the scanner fan can be given from the CRT / Unit Console insert.

 A start command is also established automatically for scanner air fan ‘A’ (AC operated), if the scanner
duct to furnace diff. pressure is “low” for more than 5 sec. If this low condition exists for more than 10
sec., the same is annunciated as “Scanner Duct to Furnace DP Low” greater than 10 sec. signals.
 A start command is also established for the stand-by scanner air fan (i.e. DC) if the first fan fails to start
within 5 sec. after receiving the start command or if it trips. Loss of unit 24V DC establishes start
command for both scanner air fans

The scanner air fan can be stopped by momentarily depressing the “STOP PB”, provided the scanner
duct of furnace diff. pressure is not low. The status of Scanner air Fans is displayed on the CRT / Console insert.
The scanner emergency damper is opened when both FD fans are off AND Unit 24V DC power is lost. If both
these conditions are not present, the scanner emergency damper will be closed. Auto Transfer damper has been
provided at the outlet of the Scanner Air Fan.
18
Auxiliary Air Damper Control:

The function of Secondary Air Damper Control (SADC) System is to proportion the total air around the
firing elevation as per the criteria spelt above. In fact the SADC system is a combination of both analog and
digital system, as the amount of fuel fired and the number of firing elevations decides the damper position.
The auxiliary air damper control system positions the auxiliary air dampers to maintain a wind box to furnace
differential pressure (Refer Figure-2). The auxiliary air dampers are positioned to maintain the required wind
box to furnace differential pressure according to the boiler load.

All elevations of the aux. air dampers will be automatically switched to “Manual” control and then
commanded to open 100%, if any one of the following conditions exist.

 Both FD fans are off.

 Both ID fans are off.
 Master fuel trip exists for more than 2 sec.
 Loss of Unit 24V DC.

When the aux. air control is placed in the “Auto” mode of operation, the aux. air dampers modulate to
control wind box to furnace diff. pressure at a predetermined set point.

During the furnace purge cycle, all aux. air dampers modulate to maintain wind box to furnace diff.
pressure at a predetermined set point.
When the unit load exceeds 30% of MCR, the following events occurs:-

The wind box to furnace diff. set point is gradually increased as the unit load is increased. Conversely,
the diff. pressure set point is gradually decreased as unit load is decreased. The rate of increase (or decrease) is
controlled by the aux. damper controller.

When the Unit Load is increased above 30% MCR

The Aux. air dampers on Elevation AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, GH, HJ, JK & KK are closed in a timed sequence (10
sec. interval) provided the associated coal elevations are not in service and the associated oil elevations are not
in service. The auxiliary air dampers are closed, starting from the top elevation, progressing towards the lowest
elevation.

When the unit load is reduced below 30% of MCR, the following events occur:-

 The wind box to furnace differential pressure set point reverts to its original value.
 The auxiliary air dampers associated with the coal and LO / HO elevations not in service are opened in a
timed sequence (10 sec. interval) starting at the lowest elevation, progressing towards the top.
When a LO / HO Elevation is started (i.e. when the associated “elevation back-up” trip is removed) the
associated auxiliary air dampers in that elevation are set to preset position for LO / HO firing.

When the “Post Trip Purge Time Expired” command is established and both FD / ID fans are not OFF
and a Master fuel trip” command doesn’t exist, then a 35 sec. counting period is started. After it expires, the
“Open All Auxiliary Air Dampers” command is removed from memory.

19
Fuel (Coal) Air Dampers Control

All elevations of fuel air dampers are commanded to open 100% when any one of the following
conditions exists:-
1) Both F.D. fans are OFF.
2) Both I.D. fans are OFF.
3) Master fuel trip exists for more than 2 sec.
4) Loss of Unit 24V DC.

When a coal elevation is in service, the associated fuel air dampers modulate as a function of mill air
flow as indicated by the associated coal elevation “MODULATING” light coming on.
When the coal elevation is shut down, the associated fuel air dampers are closed, as indicated by a “CLOSED”
light. When the “Post Trip Purge Time Expired” command is established and “Both FD and ID fans are
not off” and “Master fuel trip” command doesn’t exist, the “Open upper fuel air dampers (Elevation F, E,
D & both OFA )” command is removed from memory. Thirty seconds later open lower fuel air dampers
(Elevation C, B & A)” command is removed from memory.

FURNACE TEMPERATURE PROBE

 Furnace temperature probe can be advanced/retracted using the pushbuttons Provided in DDCMIS as
well as from local starter box.
 Furnace temperature probe shall be prohibited from being advanced further into The furnace if furnace
temperature sensed by it is more than 540 deg. C
 If furnace temperature probe is inside the furnace and the temperature exceeds 540 Deg. C it will be
retracted back automatically.

sequence will continue. Blower operating indication will be available on Mimic. The selected SEQ will
automatically get reset after operation the “SEQUENCE COMPLETED” indication will become on.

20
 6) At any point of time the selected sequence can be reset by pressing RESET button Along with selected
SEQ button.
7) During the sequence operation if any fault occurs, he sequence will stop at that step and the
operating blower will be commanded to retract back to home position for Faults ii to viii. After
resetting the fault, the sequence can be continued for the Remaining blowers by pressing SEQ
START button along with selected SEQ Button. However for fault blower cannot be
retracted. Hence suitable Annunciation shall be made to operator for intervention and
manually retracting blower back from field. Similarly for other faults also if blower
Is not retracting based annunciation has to be made for operator intervention.

Fault conditions are listed below: -

 110V AC control supply at SBMCC failure

 Blower over run.
 LR Blower mechanical jamming Blower steam flow low.
 Blower motor overloaded.
 Boiler Trip
 SB Steam Pressure Low
 Auto Sequence Interrupted

BL O W E R O P E RA T I O N

WALL BLOWER: -
As soon as the start impulse is given, the traverse motor of Wall blower gets Supply and the blower
moves forward. The red lamp in mimic glows to indicate the operation of that blower. The yellow lamp for
indication of ‘Blower Forward’ also glows. When the blower reaches the traverse motor trips and the rotary
motor gets supply and rotates the lance. The yellow lamp for “Blower rotating” glows. Simultaneously Steam
Valve will open and allow the Steam for blowing. When the lance complete one Rotation the Rotary motor trips,
Travers Motor gets supply and the home position the mimic lamp goes off. Now the next blower in the
sequence gets the pulse and start operating.

LONG RETRACTABLE BLOWER

hen the Long Retractable blower gets the pulse, first the rotary motor starts rotating. The ‘NO' contact
of contactor ‘CRO' for rotary motor closes and the traverse motor starts and holds through limit switch LS-2
contact. The blower moves forward. The Red lamp in mimic glows to indicate blower operation. Yellow
indication lamps for ‘Blower Forward' & ‘Blower rotating’ glows. When the blower reaches the forward end
position, it actuates Limit switch LS-1 which stops forward motion of the blower. Immediately the blower
reverses. The yellow lamp for ‘Blower Retracting' as it comes back to home position, both traverse and rotary
motors are stopped and lamps in mimic go off.

AIR HEATER BLOWER

When the AHB starter receives an impulse to start, the motor starts rotating & the lance starts
sweeping. Start impulse from SBC shall be ‘ON’ for 5 minutes continuously to enable limit switch LS- 1 to make
and hold the power supply across the power contactor. Simultaneously the solenoid operated control valve is
opened and steam flows.
21
 When the lance moves from the initial position, the limit switch LS-1 reset and holds supply to the starter.
The OFF-DELAY timer contact holds the supply across limit switch LS-1, when operated under manual mode from local, until
it resets during start-up. The Red lamp in mimic glows to indicate blower operation. When the lance reaches the forward end
position the limit switch LS-2 trips and the solenoid control valve is closed. The motor runs in the same direction and by
the link arrangement the lance comes back to the initial position. During the reverse sweep there is
no soot blowing. When lance reaches initial position LS-1 trips, motor stops rotating, and the mimic
lamp goes off.

NOTE:-
 At a time, one blower can be operated in sequence.
 CRT/Key Boards are common for FSSS, SBC & SADC System.
 SB operation can be made through CRT/Key Board.

LP BYPASS SYSTEM:

In certain operating conditions, the IP turbine can’t accommodate the system produced by the boiler,
The LP Bypass system enables to establish an alternate path for dumping this excess Steam from the Reheater
outlet directly into the Condenser at suitable steam parameters, Bypassing the LP & IP Turbine.

LPBP is a redundant digital system in which all the individual safety circuit for bypass proction are built
in. If any of the individual protection is relayed, the LPBP trip is released thereby closing the LPBP Stop & Control
Valves. For each LPBP Station, tripping criteria’s are separately determined. The LPBP Stop Valve is provided
with 2 Trip Solenoid Valve (TSV), which energized under normal condition and de-energized during protection
acted.
