1.3 These two stations will reduce the pressure and temperature of
the steam tapped off from CRH line and main steam line to
16Kg/ cm2 (abs) & 3200C at the high temperature auxiliary steam
header and subsequently to 16 Kg/ cm 2 (abs) & 2100C at the low
temperature auxiliary steam header through a suitable
desuperheater between the high temperature and low
temperature auxiliary steam headers.

7.7 All manual valves in the system are erected and their free
operation ensured.
8.0 METHOD
8.1 Prepare and put the auxiliary boiler under Steaming condition at
around 25% of its MCR rating
8.2 Charge slowly the Steam line from auxiliary boiler up to L.T.
auxiliary steam header in main boiler. All the required drains and
vents are lined up before charging and all the outgoing valves
from the Auxiliary headers are Kept closed.
8.3 While charging, increase the fuel loading of the auxiliary boiler
sufficiently to warm up the line as well as to gradually pressurize
the system.

8.5 Suitable steam exhaust provisions are made for the above two
circuits and steam blown for about 10 minutes for two times with
a time gap of 15 minutes between the blows.
8.6 Valves AS-45 and the individual system inlet valves are used for
this blowing. After completion of steam blowing of the above two
system, (Sec.8.5) the steam lines are normalized with the
system.
8.8 Since AH Soot blowing is required during initial oil firing onwards,
AH sootblower steam line connected to H.T. Unit Aux. Steam Hdr
is steam blown by charging steam from Auxiliary Boiler via H.T.
Auxiliary Station Header.
