Remember that we estimated only 45 percent of the available SSOV pressure drop lor each valve. A margin of safety or 5 percent per valve remains to allow Sllghl over· sizing.

' 300 PART I-FIRING RATE (COMBUSTION) CONTROL INTRODUCTION DEFINITIONS 1119 firing Crate is Jhe combustion rate. II is the rate at which air, fuel, or snair-fuel mixture Is supplied loaburner or furnace. It may be expressed in volume (cubic feel of gas or gallons of oil), weight (tons of coal), or heal units (Btu's) sul=9lied par unit lime (usually per h::lur). FirinrJ rate control (or combustion control) is simply a means of regu- launQfUel supply, air supply, and the ratioofairto1uelsup- ply according to load dernard. PURPOSES Automatic Mng rate conlrols are offen used 10 $illl'Jify operatioo and to relieve operators from tedious monitoring dUlies. However, their primary purpose is lor economy. To proouca Ihe mosl economical ep8ralion, lh&cOIltrol system must mainlaln the air-fuel ratio at an optimum value over the entire load range. Usually, The system must also control other imp::msnl facfOfs such as steam pras- sure, furnace draft, waler level. and steam lemperature. It is virtually impoSSible for an operafor to maintain the pre- cise control necessary to achieve the gteatest econany. FACTORS AFFECTING THE FIRING RATE Although the actual neaullQ load pfaceQ on the plant is the primary consideration. other faclors also affect the fir- ing ral&. Since ducts, pipes, and flue passages absorb much of the lotaf heal produced, opening and closing lhem in ditf~rent palterns varies the heat loss immensely. The pickup demand or the furnace or boiler also con- sumas part of the heat output. When a bJrr.er syslem is started, the mass of metal that comprises me furnace or bOiler absorbs a great amount 01 heat before all)' enters the system, and it also radiales a portion of the heal 10 lhe surrounding surfaces. Finally, lhe efficiency of the fUrnace or boiler ilself has a bearing on the amOl.n1 at fuel that is burned. The efficiency depends to a great exlent on the he-at transfer qualities of the boiler or furnace. LIMITATIONS ON THE FIRING RATE Turndown is lhe ralio or tna maximum firing rate (high fire) 10 Ihe minimum /iring rate (Jaw fire) al which a burner will operate satisfactorily. It is also expressed as the range of firing rales over which satisfactory combuslion can be obtained. For ax~le, lhe firillQ rale 01 a burner with a 4 to 1 turndown range can be varied from ils maximum (100 pl3rcent) clown to 1{4 at ils maximum (25 percenl), A high turndown ralio Is particularly desirable for batCh-type fur· naces or others lhat are shut down periodically. A high fir· ing rale can be usecs to Mal lhe furnace rapidly after il is started up again. After the flIrnal:e is heated up, the firing rale can be turned down 10 normal. Flame t::Jow-off limilS the maximum firing rate. A Ilame moves away from a burner when the velocity at lheair-tuel mixture is greater than the velOCity Of the Ilame front (flame propagation rate). Blow-cff often resuHs in the flame being extinguished. Flashback limils the minimum firing rate. A flame movesbaCk ""rough a burner land possibly back fa theair· fr el mixinQ lXlinl) when the flame propaoation rale is grealer lhan the velocity of the entering alr'fUel mixlure. DRAFT CONSIDERATIONS Drat!: is lhe movement of air into and through a CON'Ous- {ion cflamber, brEl8ctling. stack, and chimney. Natural draft results from the difference in density of the heated air rising through the slack or chimney and the COOler displacinQ air. Mechanical draft is crealad try mao chinery, such as a fan or blower. Types of mechanical draft are forced and indUCed draft. Forced draft is produced by a fan or blower located at lhe inlel air passage 10 the combustion charrt:lel'. Induced draft is produced by a partial vacuum within the corrous- tion chaiTtler, created by a fan al the outlet at the cMlTtler. Natural draft depoflds on ma",. variables. $Uch as 1hE! temperature of the atmosphere, height Of the stack, direc· tion and force Oflhe wind, and other environmenlal condi- tioos. Blowers or fans supply a conslanl draft lhat is independent 01 these conditions. Therefor'll, mechanical draft is used as the main source of air. Every tiring rale and type 01 fuaJ fequirss lhe prcper amount 01 draft for best results. 1he draft that is needed also depends a lot on Ihevolume ofth'll cO'T'Ouslion cham- ber. Da"l)f¥s in tl"l& air passages are use::llo control the draft. Darrpar p::lSilions are varied as tne firing rale is varied. FIRING RATE CONTROL METHODS In large plants, mothodl; of regulating the firing rate are (1) fland, (2) base load. and (3) automatic. In hand regula- tion, a fireman allends \0 a ballery of boilers and/or fur- naces. He adjusts lhe valves and da,rrp.:lrS manually to 301 keep the pressure ancVor temperature constant In base- load regulation, most Of a gr~ of boilers and/or furnaces are cperated at a ste&'t, hil1l firing rare. but one or fTIOfe are operated at a variable rate \0 handle peak loads. In 71-97558-1 automatic regulation, an automatic firing rale control sys- tem ts used to provide smoother reQ.Jlatlon and beUet cOl'l'b.Jsl:lon. Some of the automatic systems used will be discussecUn this section. AUTOMATIC FIRING RATE CONTROL SYSTEMS Different arranoemeF'lts of elements are used 10 pro- vide firing rate control. Initially, the syStem is Iriggered by a disturbaAce In the'CCintrolled variable, Such as steam pres- sure in,aooiler or wall temperature In a furnace. The initial disturbanca then causes a sequence of adjl lStJTlentS, In parallel or in cascade (series), to control the various parts of the syslem. For exa~le, in a parallel system, a change in steam pressure may cause simultaneous adjustment of fan speed and 'damper opening to change the airflow, and pu~ speed and valve opening to control the flow of fu&: (all). In a cascade system. a change in steam pressure might lnlllate a change In cCllTbuSlion airflow, and the dlange in airflow might lhen adjust the rate of fuel flow. Funher cascading might occur it the airflow is changed by an adjus1manl of Ihe induced draft, and lhe resulting ct\aIlgEl in furnace pressure is then corrected by a change in the forced draft. A firing rate control system usually falls inlo 1 of 4 gen- eral classes-paranat, serieas·fuel, sories-air, or calorime- ter syStem. Each System may not fall exactly Into 1 of the classes, but l1'I8y be modified to be a combination of 2 classes. Usually, one particular syslem (or combination) will be the best lor a panicular plant based on economy, type 01 fuel. safety required, or lhe type of cperallon. In each system, a Change in the controlled variable (such as sleam pressure in a boiier plant or temperature in a healing furnace) generates an error signal. The error Sig- nails then senT 10 adjust the fuel flow and air flow. To c0m- pensate for varial.ions in fuel condlion or lor tube foUling in boilers. a ralio regulator (see belOW) is included lO-make adjustmenls in the air-fuel ratio. The ralio regulator maybe as Sirl1Jte as the linkage between 2 valves, it may be a valve-type device, or it may be a complex eleclrooic device. PARAl.l.El. CONTROl. SYSTEM (FIG. 1) In the parallel control system, the error signal is sent si· multaneously to adjust both fuetflow and airllow. The ratio regulator may ~ in either circuil. It is generally in the cir- cuit having the greater capacity, so the capaciTy of theboil· er or furnace will not be reduced if the ratio of fuel 10 air is decreased. Thus, ilthe blower or fans have greater capac- ily than tha fuel feeding equipment, the ratio regulator is pul in the airflow circuit. The parallel syStem is the simplest and requires the least hardWare. II is nol dependent on signals indicative of the actual flOW of fuel or air. Therefore, it is most used in plants where the fuel buming rate would be difficult to measure directry, such as a plant using grate firing of coal. SEAlES-FUEl CONTROL SYSTEM (FIG. 2) In the series-fuel control system, lhe error signal con- Imls only the fuel flOW. Measurement of the fuel flow then prcdJcBS a Signal that controls the airflow. The fuel flow must be readily measurable, which Is true for most gases. liq,Jid fuels, and even pulverized coal. A series sysIem is generally considered to be very effective in controlling the air-fuel ratio because the flow of one is used 10 determine the flow requirement of the other. Because airflow Is the dependenl variable, air will not Increase if fuel is not available, wen t~ the SyStem may be calling for more heal. This Is advantageous 00 equlJ:YT19nt fired wllh a by-prcdJct fuel that may be in short supply at limes. When lhere is a fuel shortage, the system prevenls the InlrcducUoo of large quantities of air, which would deCrease the effectlve heat El\l'9n further. However, if the air SlWly fails or airflOW' Is reduced ex- cessively by a fan failure, there is a danger of filling the fur- nace with unburned fuel sinCe the error signal can still cause the system to continue fuel flow, Airflow failure will decrease the heat release in the furnace, further aggravat- .I,!lg the situation by causing a demand for even mora heat and fuel. Electronic circuits may be used to overcome this problem by prOViding fuel cutback If eirflow ~g; fuel flow by a predelermined amounl.
