23.0.0 High Energy Electric Ignition (HEEI) System
• In the igniter a pulsed arc, capacitive discharge, high-energy electric ignition (HEEI) spark
system for improving igniter reliability. The spark system consists of a spark exciter, spark
cable, spark rod, and replaceable spark tip. The spark rod fits through the spark guide pipe
and has a separate retract assembly so that it can be retracted after ignition trial time. The
retract assembly is equipped with one pneumatic cylinder, one 4-way, single-coil solenoid and
two DPDT heavy-duty limit switches to indicate spark tip position.
• Cable connects the spark rod to the exciter and is provided in lengths as necessary, encased
in flexible watertight conduit. The spark rod utilizes a replaceable tip. The spark rod operates
from a fixed position to provide reliable lightoff of the igniter fuel. The 12-Joule spark system
is powered by 230 VAC/5A and provides a minimum 4 sparks per second. Each power pack
includes five LEDs located on the PC Board for troubleshooting. The igniter is classified in
NFPA as class III – interrupted igniter.
• Cooling air is provided from scanner cooling air fan outlet. The quantity is 100 kg/hr per Igniter
@ 250 mmwc above the wind box pressure.

24.0.0 Flame Monitoring System
A flame monitoring system provided to monitor the oil and coal flame in the burners and
integrated with BMS. The scanners can work with wide range of fuels and the scanners can
be easily tuned to the different operating conditions. Total number of burners provided in this
contract are Twenty four (24) and each burner is provided with one scanner for oil flame
detection and one scanner for coal flame detection. The scanner works with infrared flame
flicker frequency and intensity detection as per the established standard practice of Riley
burners, and in conformance with NFPA recommendations. The scanners are equipped with
auto diagnostic feature with self check facility.
Scanners are arranged in a clear sight path to the base of the oil/coal flame in the primary
combustion zone under all operating conditions. The scanners are mounted in the burner
front at the secondary air annular zone. Each scanner will provide optimal flame detection and
discrimination. The scanner does not respond to the adjacent or background radiation
generated in the furnace. The design takes care of the shrouding of flame by coal/ash dust.
During starting with oil firing, the oil scanner will sense the oil flame and is connected to the
BMS. When coal firing is started, both oil and coal flame will be sensed and both the scanners
will vote for the burner flame being present. Presence of oil flame or coal flame as voted by
their scanners, will permit the burner to continue the firing.
Scanner is capable of Digital Safe Flame Communications (DsfComm) for graphical user
interface. The DsfComm application is used to monitor burner-flame status, to display data,
and for programming flame scanners.

24.2.0 Electrical interface of scanners :
• 230 V AC to 24VDC, 2.9VA (120mA) as input

• Flame on contact: N.O. relay Contact
• Flame signal: 4-20mA
24.3.0 Scanner cooling air system :
Two scanner air fans are provided for suppling cooling air to the scanners. The normal
running fan is operated by AC power and the standby fan is provided with DC power. The
scanner air fan discharge damper is auto transfer damper operated by the air pressure from
the fans. The fan suction is taken from atmosphere and hence no emergency air damper is
required at the suction to connect the fan to atmosphere. The fan control will be provided in
the control desk with necessary console inerts. Refer PID BJ087-00-05-3-010 for the scheme
of scanner cooling air system.
24.3.1 Sizing criteria:-

• Type : Centrifugal fan.
• Margin : 20% in flow & 30% in head.
• Ambient temperature : 50°C.
• Fan speed : 3000RPM.
