FUNCTIONS OF FSSS Prevent any fuel firing unless a satisfactory furnace purge sequence has first been completed.

. Prevent start-up of individual fuel firing equipment unless certain permissive, interlocks have been satisfied. Monitor and control proper component sequencing during start-up and shut-down of fuel firing equipment. Subject continued operation of fuel firing equipment to certain safety interlocks remaining satisfied. Provide component status feedback to the operator and, in some cases, to the unit control system and / or to the data logger.

Provide flame supervision when fuel firing equipment is in service and effect an Elevation Fuel Trip or Master Fuel Trip upon certain condition of unacceptable firing / load combination.
Effect a Master Fuel Trip upon certain adverse Unit operating conditions.

closed.

HORV closes automatically when any HONV is not

closed OR by pressing close PB.

PAIR FIRING MODE (START UP)

Pair firing mode is selected when no feeder is in service. Pairs are made for the opposite corners. (Pair 1-3 and Pair 2-4) When pair 1-3 start push button is pressed the following events take place A 30 second counting period is started A 70 second counting period is started Oil Gun No-1 advances from retracted position if It is engaged, corresponding scavenge valve is closed, atomising steam and HFO isolation valves are open. HEA ignitor advances. Atomising steam valve opens. Ignitor starts sparking. HFO Nozzle valve for corner 1 opens HFO catches fire and flame indication comes. After 25 seconds ignitor retracts. When the 30 second counting period expires command will go to corner 3 and same events will take place. Corner 2-4 can also be placed exactly in the same manner.

ELEVATION FIRING MODE (START UP)

Elevation firing mode is selected when any feeder is proven. Oil elevation is placed in service when Pair 1-3 or Pair 2-4 start Push Button is pressed. In elevation firing mode also the oil guns are proven on pair basis. First command goes for placing Pair 1-3 into service and Pair 1-3 is placed into service exactly in the same way as in the pair mode.

First start command goes to corner-1 then after 30 second start

command goes to corner-3. After the start command has gone to corner 3, a 30 second counting period is started. When 30 seconds counting period expires then start command goes for corner 2-4 and corner 2-4 are placed into service exactly in the same manner as in the pair mode.

PAIR FIRING MODE (SHUT DOWN)

Pair firing mode is selected when no feeder is in service. Pairs are made for the opposite corners. (Pair 1-3 and Pair 2-4) When pair 1-3 stop push button is pressed the following events take place A 30 second counting period is started A 340 second counting period is started Oil Gun No-1 HFO nozzle valve closes. Scavenge and atomising steam valve opens. HEA ignitor advances and spark remains for 15 seconds. When atomising steam valve is proven fully open, a 5 minutes counting period starts. When 5 minutes counting period expires scavenge valve and atomising steam valve closes and further closing command goes HFO nozzle valves to reinsure that they are fully closed. Oil Gun corner no-1 retracts to its home position. When the 30 second counting period expires stop command will go to corner 3 and same events will take place. Corner 2-4 can be shut-down exactly in the same manner.

ELEVATION FIRING MODE (SHUTDOWN)

Elevation firing mode is selected when any feeder is proven. By pressing stop push-button of Pair 1-3 or Pair 24 the following events will take place. Corner 1-3 will be shut-down in the similar way as in the pair mode. When stop command has gone to corner 3, a 30 second counting period is started. When 30 seconds counting period expires then stop command goes for corner 2-4 and corner 2-4 are shut-down exactly in the same manner as in the pair mod
