IBR is Indian Boiler Regulations, which was created in 15th September 1950 in exercise of the powers conferred by section 28 & 29 of the Indian Boilers Act. The Indian Boilers Act was formed in 1923, 23rd February to consolidate and amend the law relating to steam boilers.

Steam Boilers that come under IBR are:-

Steam boiler:

Steam boilers under IBR means any closed vessel exceeding 22.75 litres in capacity and which is used expressively for generating steam under pressure and includes any mounting or other fitting attached to such vessel which is wholly or partly under pressure when the steam is shut off. & NON IBR simply means any steam producing equipment lesser than 22.75 ltrs of water hold up capacity.

Steam pipes:

IBR steam pipe means any pipe through which steam passes from a boiler to a prime mover or other user or both if pressure at which steam passes through such pipes exceeds 3.5 kg/cm2 above atmospheric pressure or such pipe exceeds 254 mm in internal diameter and includes in either case any connected fitting of a steam pipe.

Boiler Specification

Typical Boiler Specification

Boiler Make & Year : HBC & 2007MCR(Maximum Continuous Rating) : 2060 TPH (F & A 100oC)Rated Working Pressure :17.6 kg/cm2(g) Type of Boiler : Water tubeFuel Fired : Coal

Heating surface is any part of the boiler metal that has hot gases of combustion on one side and water on the other. Any part of the boiler metal that actually contributes to making steam is heating surface. The amount ofheating surface of a boiler is expressed in square meters. The larger the heating surface a boiler has, the moreefficient it becomes.

For IPP :Water Wall : 4860 sqmSuper heater : 31111 sqmEconomizer : 19974 sqmReheater : 9242 sqm

BOILER TYPE: HG-2060/17.5-YM9Model: HG-2060/17.5-YM9Manufacturer：The China Harbin boilers Co. LTDType: This boiler is subcritical, once reheat, assisted circulation, pulverized coal-fired boiler, with single furnace ,corner tangential firing, balance ventilation, all-steel overhung construction and with dry-ash furnace.

10/30/2012 AADARSH 7

Maximum continuous rating is the hourly evaporation that can be maintained for 24 hours.

F & A means the amount of steam generated from water at 100⁰C to saturated steam at 100 oC

10/30/2012 AADARSH 8

Difference between Tube & Pipe:The primary difference between pipe and tubing is how the size is designated. Pipe isdesignated by a "Nominal Pipe Size" based upon the ID (inside diameter) of the mostcommon wall thickness.Tubing is designated by the measured OD (outside diameter)

Important Terminology of Boilers

Blowdown - The drain connection including the pipe and the valve at the lowest practicalpart of a boiler, or at the normal water level in the case of a surface blowdown.

Buckstay - A structural member placed against a furnace or boiler wall to limit the motion of the wall against furnace pressure.

Burner - A device which combines fuel and air in proper proportions for combustion and which enables the fuel-air mixture to burn stably to give a specified flame size and shape

Burner assembly - A burner that is factory-built as a single assembly or as two or more assemblies which include all parts necessary for its normal function when installed as intended

10/30/2012 AADARSH 9

Damper - A device for introducing a variable resistance of regulating the volumetric flow of gas or air.

Design pressure - The pressure used in the design of a boiler for the purpose of determining the minimum permissible thickness or physical characteristics of the different parts of a boiler.

Downcomer - A tube or pipe in a boiler or waterwall circulating system through which fluid flows downward between headers.

Drum - A cylindrical shell closed at both ends, designed to withstand internal pressure

Duct - A passage for air or gas flow.

Economizer - A series of tubes located in the path of flue gases. Feedwater is pumped through these tubes on its way to the boiler in order to absorb waste heat from the flue gas.

Evaporation ratio - Evaporation ratio means kilogram of steam generated per kilogram of fuel consumed.

10/30/2012 AADARSH 10

Flue gas - The gaseous products of combustion in the flue to the stack.

Forced circulation - The circulation of water in a boiler by mechanical means external to the boiler.

Furnace explosion - A violent combustion of dust or gas accumulations in a furnace or combustion chamber of a boiler.

Furnace volume - The cubical contents of the furnace or combustion chamber

Header - A distribution pipe supplying a number of smaller lines tapped off of it. A main receiving pipe supplying one or more main pipe lines and receiving a number of supply lines tapped into it

Heating surface - That surface which is exposed to the heating medium for absorption and transfer of heat to the heat medium per American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA)

Natural circulation - The circulation of water in a boiler caused by differences in density; also referred to as thermal or thermally induced circulation.

10/30/2012 AADARSH 11

Oil burner - A burner that atomizes fuel oil and blows it into the combustion chamber in the form of a fine mist or vapor. Steam or mechanical motion plus air may be used as the operating medium.

Oil gun - The assembly of parts in a burner which provides atomized fuel oil mixture to the furnace for burning.

Safety valve - A valve that automatically opens when pressure attains the valve setting which is adjustable; used to prevent excessive pressure from building up in a boiler.

Tempering air - Air at a lower temperature added to a stream of pre-heated air to modify its temperature

Water hammer - A sudden increase in pressure of water due to an instantaneous conversion or momentum to pressure

10/30/2012 AADARSH 12

Boiler Purpose•To produce steam (Main Steam and Reheat Steam) at rated pressure and temperature

•To Convert the heat of combustion of coal/oil/gas to thermal energy of steam

CALCULATION FOR THE BOILER PRESSURE PARTS

10/30/2012 AADARSH 87

4x600 MW was one of the first of its kind in India.

SEL have erected India’s First Sub crtical Boiler Drum in unit # 2.

In order to ensure the safety of boiler , calculation of the boiler pressure parts was mandatory and we have done the calculation for pressure parts as per IBR.

10/30/2012 AADARSH 88

WORKING PRESSURE CALCULATION OF DRUM AS PER IBR:

D1:- ID = 1749mmOD = 2103mm

Th = 188mm / 177.4mm(Plate used)/(Actual)

D2:- ID = 1778mmOD = 2074mmTh = 153mm / 148mm

(Plate used)/(Actual)

Design temperature: 360 ˚CDesign Pressure: 19.95MpaWorking Pressure: 19Mpa (As per Form III)

Ligament efficiency ‘e’ = 0.862

YS at 370 ˚C at P/36 of IBR folder is 290 Mpa

Working metal temp. : 370 ˚CHence,

f = 290/ 1.5 = 193.33 Mpa

Why use an ESP ?

• To control atmospheric pollution caused by fly ash .

• To meet statutory requirement of pollution control (< 50mg/Nm3 as per Gazette notification by MoEF dated 150mg/Nm3 at 19.05.93).

• The byproduct- Fly ash can be utilized for applications like cement works, brick manufacturing etc.

Principle of operation• The ash particles move

along the stream of flue gas

• Our interest is to change their direction of travel so that they get separated from the stream of flue gas

• How ?

Principle of operation (continued)• We impart electrical

charge to the particles.

• We have a surface with opposite electrical polarity nearby.

• The particles are electrically attracted to the surface.

+

Principle of operation (continued)• Emitting electrode is

charged at high voltage DC (negative).

• Collecting Electrode (plate) is at ground potential (positive).

+ -

Principle of operation (continued)• Emitting electrodes

sprays negative ions towards positive plate (corona discharge).

• They collide with ash particles and transfer the charge to them.

• Ash particles get negatively charged.

-+

-

-

--

- -

-

-

-

--

Principle of operation (continued)• The positive collecting

plate attracts negative ash particles.

• On reaching the collecting plate, the particles get electrically neutralized and remain there.

-

Principle of operation (continued)

• After a layer of ash is collected on the collecting plate,it is mechanically rapped so that the ash falls into the hopper for disposal through ash handling system.

Construction

• To achieve laminar flow at lower velocity the gas path is split in several “Pass”es.

• Perforated GD screen at the entry of each pass ensure uniform velocity distribution.

• To achieve better collection efficiency several fields are provided in series in each pass.

• Many combinations are possible depending on boiler size.

Construction (major parts)

• Collecting plates

• Emitting electrodes

• Rapping mechanism (collecting,emitting)

• Insulators

• High Voltage Rectiformers

• Heaters

• Ash Level Indicators

ESP typical construction

Construction (collecting rapping)

• Type: Side driven flexible arm rapper

• Rapper control type-Microcomputer

• Hammers for each row of collecting plates are mounted at different angles on the rapper shaft.

• When the shaft rotates all rows get hammered one by one.

• Max no. of electrodes rapped by a rapper at a time- 2

Construction(hopper heaters)

• A portion of the hopper is double walled.

• Heaters (4.5 kW) are placed between the walls to keep the ash warm so that it does not stick to the sides of the hopper.

• Total No of Hoppers for one boiler- 50

Construction (insulator heaters)

• Shaft insulators and support insulators do not fall in regular gas flow path.

• They get colder and help ash accumulation on them. This reduces the field voltage.

• Heaters for individual insulators are used to keep them warm.

Construction(ash level indicators )

• Ash Level indicators are provided in each hopper for sensing hopper overfilled condition.

• High level trips the particular field.

Control philosophy

• To have a voltage just below the spark-over voltage for as long as possible.

• The controller measures current and calculates dI/dt .• When this value crosses a limit a spark is sensed.• Voltage is made zero for few milliseconds of pause time to

allow ionized air to flow away.• Voltage again rises at a fast rate to very near the spark over

value (say 90%).• Rate of rise then slows down.• If a spark is sensed, the process repeats itself.• If no spark is sensed, the voltage continues to rise till

voltage/current limit is reached.

Controller (graph)

Controller(back corona)

• All controllers use the above method of dynamic control of voltage.

• However use of only this method is unable to tackle the BACK CORONA problem.

• Modern controllers have micro-processor based computing facilities to take care of the back corona problem.

Controller(potential difference )

• The neutralization of charged ash particles constitute a current.

• Current has to pass through the layer of ash already collected.

• Potential difference is created across the layer. (V=IR)

+-

V = I x R

Controller(ionization of trapped air)

• Due to the high resistivity of ash the potential difference in a few mm thick layer can be several kV.

• This ionizes the air trapped between the ash layers.

+ ++

-

Controller(back corona)

• The positive ions are repelled by the positive plate & they come out in a stream.

• This phenomenon is BACK CORONA.

++ + +

+ + +

++

+

Controller(effects of back corona)

BACK CORONA• Neutralize charged ash

particles, so they are not collected.

• Dislodges already collected particles & allows them fly away.

• Draws extra power & reduces collection efficiency.

+-+

++

Controller(controlling back corona)

• To reduce Back Corona IR drop has to be reduced.

• R is a property of ash which cannot be controlled.

• To reduce I, V has to be reduced which will reduce the main corona. Hence collection itself will be reduced.

Controller (intermittent charging)

• Similar to a fluorescent tube, higher voltage is required to start a corona. Once started, the corona can be maintained by a much lesser voltage.

• The field behaves like a RC circuit. Once charged, the voltage decays only gradually through the collection current.

• It can be charged again before corona stops.

Controller (less average voltage)

• In conventional method of charging every half cycle, difference between the peak & average voltages is very small.

• In intermittent charging, firing of the thyristors is skipped for several half cycles & voltage is allowed to decay. While the peak voltage remains same, the average voltage comes down drastically.

Controller (less average current)

• Reduction of average voltage reduces average current which in turn reduces the IR drop across the ash layer. Thus back corona is controlled.

• The number of half cycles skipped is denoted by “charge ratio”. A charge ratio of 1:5 means firing takes place at every 5th half cycle.

• If we use charge ratio more than 1:5, the voltage becomes too low to sustain the main corona after the 5th half cycle.

• To avoid this thyristors are fired just before 180 deg from 6th half cycle onwards. This is called “BASE CHARGE”.
