close the HAG.E) When mill motor current / load is above max set point or mill

bowl DP is high 250 mmwcl, a command will be given to bring the R C feeder speed to min

SADCAUXILIARY AIR DAMPERSA) During the purge period and unit operation upto 30% loading, all elevations of auxiliary air dampers modulate to maintain appx 40 mmwcl DP between furnace and WB.

B) When load exceeds 30% , the DP set point is changed and ramps up to a higher setting. Simultaneously, the aux air dampers associated with the coal or oil elevations not in service close in timed sequence starting with the upper elevations of dampers and progressing to lowest elevation.

AUX AIR DAMPERS

C) When load is reduced below 30%, the aux air dampers open in a timed sequence starting with lowest elevation of dampers. Simultaneously the DP set point is changed to lower setting.

D) All the aux air dampers maintain status quo upon a boiler trip and will open fully when both FD fans are OFF.

E) Aux air dampers associated with the oil elevations open to a preset position whenever oil is being fired or modulate as a function of oil hdr pr when H O is being fired. Otherwise they open and close with the balance of aux air dampers.

FUEL AIR DAMPERS All fuel air dampers are normally closed. They open after 50 sec after the associated feeder is started, and modulate as a function of feeder speed.50 sec after the feeder is removed, associated fuel air damper close.The fuel air dampers will open fully when both FD fans are OFF.
