One PA fan can cater three coal mills when coal rates are around 0.53-0.55 and
load up to 175MW.
However, one PA fan can cater only two coal mills above such coal rate and load
could be raised up to 135MW. Change DC accordingly.
1. Before rack in of PA fan, put PA fan discharge gate and its lock gate in local or
MCB off. Then confirm lock out pressed of respective PA fan.
4. Before starting PA fan the unit to be reduced to two coal mills (otherwise, since
PA fan discharge gate opening takes 6-7min all the three coal mill PA flow will
become reduced below 40T/H and will eventually trip.).
5. Close fan interconnection gate, Cold PA damper and APH PA I/L damper.
6. Operate all necessary blade pitch for checking and check its remote status,
necessary oil pressures are all OK.
7. After rack in check locally all powers of discharge gate and its lock gate of
corresponding PA fans are present. Check power at cold PA damper and APH I/L
dampers are present. The gate and damper selection should be in remote.
8. Start PA fan. Ask Operators to check whether the PA discharge gates are
opening. The cold PA damper & APH PA I/L damper opening to be confirmed . In
case the gate tripped try to open the gate locally by changing actuator selection in
local. Also check power at the actuator is present. In case no power, electrical
operators are to reset the respective gate MCB.
