Ⅶ. The water pressure experiment
1.After installing all the gauges and valve pipes of the boiler,examine and clean the inside,check every joint and connection,and then close the access and hand holes and other relevant parts to conduct the water pressure experiment.
2.The water pressure experiment is undertaken after the following table:
3.The water pressure experiment should be carried out with the surrounding temperature above 5 ℃.Measures should be taken to avoid freezing below 5 ℃.The water in the experiment should be kept above the temperature of the surrounding dewdrops to prevent the boiler surface from condensation of moisture ,but not too high in case of vaporization and too big thermal stress .The general water temperature is 20 ℃-70 ℃.
4.The feedwater should be equable at a normal speed with air being evacuated at the same time till the boiler is filled.
5.The pressure should be raised slowly during the water pressure experiment with a very strict check made when up to 0.1 MPa.The flanges,access and hand holes must be fastened when necessary.
6.Pause the pressure from rising when up to the working pressure for a check that there is no water leak or abnormal phenomena.Raise it to the experimental pressure and keep it 20 minutes for a check that there is no decline.And then reduce it to the working pressure again for a check.During the examinations the pressure should be kept unchanged.
7.Records of any leak must be made for repairs to be done at the atmosphere pressure.
8.The water pressure experiment is considered acceptable if matching the following conditions:
①There is no water drops or mist on the metal wall and welding lines of the components under pressure.
②No remaining deformation is discovered after the water pressure experiment.
Directions for Use
Refer to the usage manual of the electrical control box for detailed information of the startup and blowout of the boiler.
Ⅰ.Boiling out
After the installation all the equipment need testing one by one to see whether enough lubrication is added to its place and whether the electric control box can be used properly.Small fire is used for the supplied fuel during the boiling out.The drugs used are:
NaOH 2-3kg/t (boiler water)
Na3PO4·12H2O 2-3kg/t (boiler water)
Na2CO3 can be used to replace the lacked Na3PO4·12H2O with the amount of 3-4.5kg/t(boiler water).
The above drugs used during the boiling out should be dispensed into the symmetric solution with the consistency of 20%.The solid drugs mustn't be put into the boiler without being processed.
With the pressure arising the water gauge can be rinsed .Under the pressure of 0.1 MPa all the flange bolts at the access and hand holes and other places should be fastened and all the joints should be checked in case of a leak.When up to 75% of the working pressure keep the pressure for 24 hours and then without burning lower it below 0.1MPa with the blow-off valve opened to discharge all the boiler water.After the natural cooling of the boiler repeat the above steps until the desirable state without any oil sludge inside the boiler and rust on the metal surface and blockage at the pipes and valves.
Ⅱ. Water supply requirements
The user should select wate processing equipment according to the regulations of Water Quality for Low Pressure Boilers (GB1576), the conditions of the local water quality and the requirements of production. The boiler without any dependable measures to process supplied water can't be put into service. During the boiler service , the water supply and quality should match the above standard.
Ⅲ.Adjustment of the safety valve
The safety valve should be adjusted at the first time of ignition. The adjustment and check should be made by Item 143 of Censorial Rules for Steam Boiler Safety Techniques .
1.Method to adjust the safety valve
Dismantle the cotter pin and seal lead,remove the cover , unscrew the hexagonal nuts, then turn the temper screw to loosen or fasten the spring to reach the required exhaust pressure by the safety valve.After the adjustment screw down the nuts and pack other parts with lead seal.
2.The safety valve cant be changed after being checked.
3.The water level in the boiler should be a little lower than usual when the safety valve is checked. Prepare that the water can be supplied at any moment after the valve is opened.
4.Never knock at any places on the safety valve. Only the control lever on the valve can be used to open it.
5.The boiler is absolutely forbidden to work before safety valve is checked.
Ⅳ.Steam supply
When the boiler air pressure comes near the working pressure to supply steam outward, the combustion in the boiler should be stable with the water level not
beyond the normal before the supply.
Ⅴ.Normal operation
The boiler should run with the water level in the boiler in a normal state, the
steam pressure stable , the boiler room tidy ,the shifts exchanged well, all the mechanical equipment and instruments especially the electric control equipment monitored more carefully to keep safe away from accidents.
1.Water supply requirements
The boiler supplied water need processing following the requirements of Water Quality for Low Pressure Boilers(GB1576).
2.Water supply equipment
The boiler is equipped with the water bump with the water supply automatically controlled. The control range of the water level is decided by the underwater height of the electrode inserted into the water. During the operation if the water level is lower than the designed lowest, the bump starts to feed water. If the water level goes up to the designed highest, the bump will stop the water filling automatically.
3.Steam pressure
The range of the steam pressure inside the boiler is choosen by the pressure controller . The burner starts up and blows out the boiler automatically within this range to guarantee the normal provision of steam.
4.Automatic alarms
The electric control equipment can give automatic alarms in light and sound. When the water level is lower than the lowest or the steam pressure inside the boiler reaches the designed highest value , the electric control equipment gives the automatic alarms with interlock protection.
5.The pressure gauge
The pressure gauge should be washed up periodically and checked to make sure the pressure is in the normal state. If not the boiler should be blown out immediately for the gauge to be mended or changed.In order to guarantee the accuracy of the gauge the examination and maintenance should be carried through by the rules of the national metrological service department.
6.The pressure controller
The adjusted value of the pressure controller should accord with that of the
pressure gauge. The value relates to the normal operation of the boiler so that the function of the pressure controller should frequently be paid attention to.
7.The safety valve
Pay attention to the normal function of the safety value. To prevent the conglutination of the core and valve base the hoisting handle of the safety valve should be periodically pulled to do the exhaust experiment with the pressure raised every 2 to 4 weeks to check that the safety valve can work normally.
8.The blowoff valve
The blowoff should be carried out periodically. (Refer to Ⅵ.Blow off.)
9.Normal operation
The boiler is controlled ful-automatically.The stoker on duty especially needs to watch the steam pressure and water level regularly to make sure they are within the required working ranges.
Ⅵ.Blow off
Normally the supplied water contains more or less mineral substance which will remain inside the boiler and deposit when condensed to a certain degree after the vaporization. The deposits increase as the quantity of evaporation rises and the running time lasts.In case of the damage caused by incrustation and scum the water quality must be garanteed .The blow off should be conducted every day or on every shift at the time of low burden and high water level.In the meanwhile pay close attention to the change of the water level inside the boiler.
Ⅶ.Maintenance
1.The burning should be under positive pressure without any air or smoke leak.
2.The burner and electric control box should be examined frequently to remain in good condition.
3.The check should be made every 2-3 months when in service.
4.The boiler should be checked and maintained after half a year of service.Open the hand hole to check that the depth of incrustation exceeds 2mm at which the washup should be done.
5.The heating and dirt cover casting(the outer pack) and the boiler base(including the accessories of the boiler) should be painted at least once.
6.There are dry and wet preservations to maintain the boiler if not used for a long
time.Model LSS can adopt the wet method.
The wet method:After blowing out the boiler let off the water, completely clear away the incrustaton and clean up the boiler.Then refill the processed water and heat it up to 100 ℃ to discharge the air out of the boiler. And then turn off all the valves. In wet places the wet method is not allowed in case of water freezing to cause damge to the boiler.
