Introduction

The general arrangement of pressure parts of a conventional Two pass design boiler of 500 M W unit is shown in Fig.1 (First pass) and Fig.2 (second pass). The locations of Pressure part components and assemblies are also indicated in the figures. At job site, the main function of erection group is to receive the components, store them, protect them from damage, preserve them during storage to sustain the original condition and assemble them within the permissible limit/tolerance specified in the "Boiler pressure parts Engineering Checks for Erection" (Pub.2022) to achieve pre-determined

performance during operation. Around 4,480 tonnes of pressure parts components per unit are despatched loose to the job site by road and rail. Hence, it becomes all the more important for the job site erection group to take utmost care right from the receipt stage to completion of erection, so that commissioning activities can proceed without any difficulties. The major components in pressure parts to be erected are boiler drum, headers, water walls and steam cooled walls, superheater, reheater coils, economiser coils and buckstays. Recommended hydraulic test procedure, welding & N D E are also covered in this section. GENERAL NOTES: 1. Ensure that the component/parts are erected as per the latest applicable contract drawings. 2. Read the drawing carefully and take care to note the specific erection points given in the drawing.

CC PUMP MOTOR INSTALLATION Motor Installation is shown in Fig. No.3. When installing circulators the following conditions must be observed.

1. System pipe work should be adequately supported to accept the weight of the circulator. 2. When mounted, the pump should accommodate movement in the pipe without imposing excessive loads on the casing and branches. 3. Sufficient clearance should be allowed beneath the motor to permit lowering of the motor from the pump case for maintenance. If removable floors are fitted after the motor is installed, ensure that the terminal boxes or low pressure cooling water supply lines will not foul them when the boiler is on load and the circulator moves downwards due to thermal expansion. 4. Ensure the main system is free from solids before

mounting the circulators. Hose down internally, the pump case, the valves and adjacent piping, to ensure the removal of all loose debris.

water, as specified below at ambient temperature but in no case less than 20 deg. C.

Note

The temperature limitation for hydrostatic testing is 20 deg. C. The important point is that the hydrostatic pressure should not be applied when the water temperature is less than this limit.

The easiest way to achieve and maintain proper hydrostatic temperature in cold weather is with an external steam supply. The full water is heated with a direct contact heater and the temperature is maintained by using the steam coil air heater. For a new project where no steam is available, it is advised to consider electric heaters or fuel fired space heaters.

During testing, the temperature of water should in no case exceed 50 deg. C

Air Testing the pressure parts

-

Before filling the boiler with water an air tightness test is to be performed to detect leakages due to valve left in open position, X-ray plug forgotten, any cuts or gouges etc. not observed by visual inspection. This will reduce the DM water consumption, as well as time.

-

The air should be filtered and free from oil and dust prior to entering the unit.

-

The boiler is to be pressurized not more than 2 kg/sq.cm (G), taking safety aspects into consideration.

-

Before admitting air, close the drum manhole, handhole stubs, isolating valves in drain lines, branching lines and vent lines including the vent valves in S H link, eco link and drum link, Drain and Test Valves in official pressure gauge etc.

-

After completing the air tightness testing keep the vents open.

Hydrostatic Test Report After completion of the hydrostatic test a written report as per the IBR format shall be issued and signed by the Inspection Authority. Preservation of Boiler after Hydrostatic Test. There is generally some time delay between hydrostatic test and further initial boiling out and chemical cleaning of the unit. Hence, the unit should be kept under preservation for protecting the internal surface from oxidation. Fill the unit with hydrazine and Ammonia treated DM water containing 300ppm hydrazine and 10ppm Ammonia with a pH value of 10.0 to 10.5 till it overflows at vents. The unit should be kept under nitrogen cover with a pressure of 0.5 kg/sq.cm. In the absence of nitrogen capping facility the unit should be pressurized with the aid of a fill pump to 5 kg/sq.cm. pressure. Samples can be collected periodically say once a week or fortnight, depending on the pressure holding worthiness of the system, tested for pH and hydrazine content. In case the sample water does not meet the criteria for lay up water, the conditioning system shall be operated as to restore the required composition. No welding shall be carried out on pressure parts when the system is under preservation or the system is filled with water. If there is a chance of freezing, the water in the drainable circuits can be displaced by nitrogen and the unit can be laid up under nitrogen pressure. Temporary heating equipment should be provided to keep the non-drainable superheater/ reheater elements above freezing temperature. The reheater should be laid up under nitrogen pressure with the reheater isolating devices closed or with the blank flanges.
