A Energy Audit Of Boilers

Performance of Boiler and APH be established by measuring exit flue

gas temperature and its analysis at around nine to fifteen points in flue

gas duct cross section before and after APH to eliminate effect of gas

stratification as per international practice (Refer enclosed boiler test

scheme Annexure I). This is because boiler efficiency differs by

around 2.0% by this method than if the measurements are taken at

single point. Scope will include the following

DETAILED ENERGY AUDIT

Conduct boiler efficiency measurements as per above test

scheme by indirect method i.e heat loss method, evaluate Boiler

efficiency and identify potential areas for improvements such as.


46/62

a. Heat loss due to heat in dry flue gas.

b. Heat loss due to moisture in as fired fuel.c. Heat loss due to moisture from burning of hydrogen in fuel

d. Heat loss due to moisture in air.

e. Heat loss due to surface radiation and convection.

f. Heat loss due to formation of carbon monoxide.

g. Heat loss due to combustibles in bottom and fly ash

Check up air ingress in boiler from LTSH area downwards

upto I.D fans.


47/62

Determine Air preheater performance to establish.

for no air leakage to temperature heads.b. Air leakage as percentage of air passing from airside to gas side.

c. X-Ratio I,e heat capacity of air passing through the air heater to the

heat capacity of gas passing through the air heater.

d. Air side and gas side pressure loss across the air heater.

Input power measurement of ID FANS / FD fans, PA fans, Fan

Loading & combined efficiency of fan and motor and their specific

power consumption Energy Audit test has to be carried out for four hours by recording

for evaluation.


48/62

B Energy Audit of steam turbine cycle and it auxiliaries

For Energy Audit of steam turbine cycle, all the parameters as per

the enclosed scheme in Annexure II are to be measured

simultaneously by hooking up these calibrated instruments to

a data logger. The recording has to be at least for a minimum

period of two hours with each measurement being recorded at an

interval of one minute. Average of the data so collected to be

utilized for evaluation of the following and suggestions for

deficient areas for improvements to be made.

1. Turbine cycle heat rate.

2. HP and IP cylinders efficiency

3. Turbine pressure survey


49/62

4. TTD & DCA of HP / LP heaters performance

5. Condenser performance i.e

Condenser back pressure after duly considering the effect of

present C.W inlet temp. C.W flow, heat load on condenser

and air ingress to condenser vis--vis design conditions

C.W side pressure drop in condenser

6. Cycle losses

7. Performance of turbine glands

8. Ejector performance


50/62

For accurate heat rate determination, Turbine inlet flow and reheat

flow need to be evaluated as per international practice by

measuring condensate flow through measurement of p of plant

condensate flow orifice after checking its condition and using

evaluated drip and extraction to deaerator flows through heat and

mass balance across heaters and deaerator as per scheme. Fall in

deaerator level and HPTV and IPV leak off flow are also considered.

Alternately by mass balance across deaerator if flow orifices are

installed in drip and extraction lines to deaerator. Deaerator outlet

feed flow shall then be taken as the main steam flow after

considering for RH spray tap off from Boiler feed line.
