1. Principle and design
Reference: Sketch A 1-13

The Helical Sootblower is mainly used for cleaning of platen heating surfaces and bank
heating surfaces. The blowing element of the Helical Sootblower is a lance tube at the tip
of which a nozzle head with two Venturi nozzles is arranged. The lance tube moves into
the flue gas pass, changes its direction of movement in the front end position and returns
to initial position. Thereby the two nozzles carry out a helical movement. Since the
nozzles are offset by 180°, the distance of the helicoids formed by the blow jets is only
half of this distance. Owing to the conical spreading of the blow jets a closed cleaning
effect across the entire blowing distance is ensured.
The lance tube is driven by the sootblower carriage which is guided in the track beam.
The blowing medium is fed to the lance tube through the sootblower valve and the fixed
feed tube.
The blowing process of the sootblower is as follows:
In idle condition the sootblower carriage is in its rear end position, the lance tube is
retracted. When the drive motor is switched on, the sootblower carriage moves forward
and pushes the lance tube helically into the flue gas pass. The sootblower valve is opened
as soon as the two nozzles have passed the boiler heating surface. Blowing process starts.
The sootblower carriage continues to push the lance tube into the flue gas pass until the
nozzle head has reached the front end position.
At this point the sootblower carriage changes its direction of travel and retracts the lance
tube helically. The sootblower valve is closed before the nozzles reach the boiler wall.
Now the sootblower moves back to its rest position without blowing. The motor will be
switched off.

2. Track beam
Reference: Sketch A1-13
Sketch A1-15
The track beam essentially consists of a double T-beam used for guidance of the
sootblower carriage. A toothed rack which is engaged in the drive pinion of the
sootblower carriage is arranged below the double T-beam.

6
 The lance tube guide is located at the front end of the track beam in order to support and
guide the lance tube.
A bracket used to fasten the sootblower at the boiler is arranged at the front plate. A
second suspension point is located at the rear end of the track beam, where a T-crosspiece
is arranged and to which the sootblower valve and the feed tube are flanged.

3. Sootblower carriage
Reference: Sketch A1-14
Sketch A1-16
The sootblower carriage consists of a casing to which the geared motor, lance hub and
rollers are fastened.
The spur worm gear driven by the three-phase motor is equipped with two output shafts.
The drive pinion engaged in the toothed rack of the track beam which moves the
sootblower carriage axially, is arranged on one of these output shafts.
The output shaft -rotary shaft - arranged in longitudinal direction effects the rotation of
the lance tube through a chain drive. The lance hub has two functions: (1) rotation of the
lance tube, (2) guidance and accommodation of the stuffing box packing provided for
sealing between lance tube and feed tube. The actuation of the limit switches and the
perforated rail are also arranged at the sootblower carriage casing, together with the trip
pin for actuation of the sootblower valve.

4. Lance tube and feed tube

Reference: Sketch A1-13
The rear end of the lance tube is flanged to the lance hub and its front end is placed in the
lance tube guide. The nozzle head with the Venturi nozzles is placed in the wall box
during rest position.
The feed tube which is made of stainless steel is fastened to the T-cross piece at its rear
end. Its front end is placed in the lance tube. During movement of the feed tube it is
centered to the middle of the lance hub by means of the guide bushes arranged in the
lance hub.
To maintain rigidity of the lance and feed tube in case of blowers with long travel, a feed
tube support is provided.

7
 At forward travel of the blower carriage to reversing position the support is pushed
forward until the support situated at the rear end has reached the approximate center point
of feed tube. At backward travel of the blower carriage to the rest position the support is
brought again to its initial position.

6. Sootblower valve with operating mechanism

Reference: Sketch A1-18
Sketch A1-19
The blowing medium is fed to the nozzles through a mechanically controlled valve which
is provided with a flange for connection of the piping.
The body of the sootblower valve is connected to the feed tube through a T-cross piece.
All internal valve parts are collected to a special valve set. The screwed valve seat is a flat
seat. An adjustable pressure control disc is located after the valve seat, （as seen in flow
direction）, to reduce the pressure in the sootblower piping system to the blowing
pressure required for each individual blower.
The sootblower valve is actuated by the sootblower carriage. The adjustable retaining bolt
on the punched strip is engaged in the cam plate which is connected to the valve lever by
means of a tie rod.
The opening or closing point of the valve can be altered by displacing the trip pin in the
perforated bar so that the blowing jets cannot damage the boiler wall.

7. Vent valve
Reference: Sketch A1-18
A vent valve is mounted on the valve box side to prevent the ingress of corrosive flue
gases in the lance tube. It is opened when the blowing process is stopped and provides for
the inlet of purge air inside the sootblower. As soon as the sootblower valve opens, it is
closed by the pressure of the entering blowing medium.
When the negative flue gas pressure in the boiler is sufficient, the difference between
pressure and atmosphere generates a sufficiently high purge air flow through the vent
valve which escapes at the nozzles.

9. Electrical equipment

8
 Reference: Sketch A1 - 13
Sketch A1 - 20
Power and control voltages are supplied to the sootblower through the terminal box. The
limit switches used to control the forward and reverse movement of the sootblower
carriage are connected to the terminal box through the control line.

10. Wall Box

Reference: Sketch A1-21
The wall box is used to allow penetration of the lance tube through the boiler wall, and
prevent the flue gases from escaping to atmosphere via the annular gap between lance
tube and wall box tube. In the case of positive pressure in the flue gas route, the wall box
is equipped with a prechamber which contains two separate disc packages. The disks
adjust themselves to the movements of the lance tube which are caused by its deflection
and by the vertical thermal expansion of the boiler wall.
Sealing air is provided for in the cavity between the two disc packages.
An shut-off valve for pressure and flow reduction must be installed in front of the sealing
air inlet nozzle of the wall box.
Furthermore, a branch is provided between the sealing airline and the vent valve in order
to supply scavenging air according to item 7.
The shut-off valve has to be adjusted in such a way that on optimum air supply between
wall box and vent valve is reached.

11. Suspension
Reference: Sketch A1-22
By means of the front suspension, the sootblower is fastened to the suspension console
which is installed at the boiler wall. The rear blower suspension must be mounted to the
suspension to be provided for by the customer.
The suspensions are designed in such a way that the horizontal and vertical expansions of
the boiler wall can be taken up.
These expansion must also be considered when designing the sootblower suspensions by
the customer.

1. Transport and storage

Transport of the sootblowers with accessories is to be carried out very carefully to avoid damage.
The suspension points provided at the sootblower are to be used for transport (refer to sketch B1-
03).
In case an intermediate storage for a longer period of time should become necessary, the
sootblowers are to be stored in a heated room in order to protect the electric drive and control
elements against moisture and idle corrosion.
In cases of doubt and extreme climatic conditions Clyde bergemann has to be informed.
Attention:
All bright parts (i.e. bolts, joining elements etc.) must be protected against corrosion
(for example: rub with grease).

2. Arrangement of the sootblowers

The sootblowers and the accessories are marked with type plates indicating the installation point
at the boiler. Attention is to be paid that the number of the installation point at the boiler
corresponds to that of the sootblower, since in many cases different types of sootblowers are
available.

4. Suspension Bracket and Wall Box

The suspension console with the screwed-on wall box must be mounted to and aligned at the
corner moulding of the boiler wall. It is important that the suspension console with the support
rollers lies horizontally in order to avoid an inclination of the blower.
The suspension console must be fastened provisionally and then welded tightly to the corner
moulding

5. Front Suspension
(1) The blower must be lifted to mounting height by means of a hoist and must be
provisionally retained here.
(2) The nozzle head must be inserted into the wall box and the front blower
suspension must be placed at the support roller.

6. Rear Suspension
(1) The rear suspension of the blower must be installed at the scaffold or the like
in such a way that the mounting position of the blower can be exactly kept in all three
axes (axial, vertical and horizontal).
(2) By means of a hoist, the blower must be lifted so that the threaded rods can be
inserted into the suspension bores of the scaffold and can be secured.
(3) The threaded rods must be displaced laterally and in blower axis direction so
that the blower is placed in the prescribed angle to the boiler wall and that the
nozzles are at the given distance to the inner boiler wall.
(4) The final height of the blower must be adjusted by means of the threaded rods.
The installation documents B 1-10 must be carefully observed.
(5) After alignment, the threaded rods must be fixed by means of a lock nut.

8. Electrical installation

All internal wiring of the sootblower has already been carried out in the workshop. At the
building site the power and control cables are to be laid and connected up to the terminal box or
plug at the track beam of the sootblower.
Laying of cables is to be carried out in accordance with the binding terminal connection and
cabling plans which also contain the line cross sections.

27
9. Assembly Check
After mounting the blower, the following details must be checked for compliance with the
installation documents.
(1) Control of installation position.
(2) As the fixed point of the blower is located at the rear blower suspension and
thus at the scaffold or the like, the horizontal thermal expansion of the boiler
wall in direction of the blower axis must be taken up by the front suspension.
Observe position of support roller!
(3) The vertical thermal expansion of the boiler wall must be taken into considera-
tion by means of the inclination of the blower with cold boiler (mounting posi-
tion). It must be taken care that the blower must be horizontal when the boiler
is in operation (hot condition).
(4) In the rear final position (idle position) of the blower carriage, the prescribed
distance of the nozzles to the inner boiler wall must be maintained (mounting dimension).
It must be taken care that this distance is diminished by the amount of the horizontal
thermal expansion of the boiler wall in direction of the blower axis with warm boiler.
(5) In all operative conditions it must be possible to axially and radially move the lance tube
in the sealing elements (sliding plate or disks). The radial movements due to inclination
or deflection of the lance tube and due to vertical thermal expansion of the boiler wall
must safely be taken up by the sealing elements.
(6) It must be checked, whether the possibly available sealing and/or scavenging
air has been connected (if applicable).
(7) It must be made sure that no unadmissible forces and moments are applied to
the flange of the sootblower valve by the piping (see sketch B1-09)

33
1. Work to be carried out prior to commissioning

(1) Prior to commissioning the sootblower is to be cleaned of dust and dirt. All
locked parts (e.g. transport securing devices and angle brackets) are to be
removed.
(2) The sootblower is to be carefully checked for damage which might be caused
during transport or assembly. Missing and damaged parts are to be replaced.
Checking of electrical parts is very important.
(3) In the workshop the spur worm gear is filled with lubricant. The residual lubrica-
tion work is to be carried out in accordance with the maintenance schedule
(chapter D1).
Attention:
All bright parts (i.e. bolts, joining elements etc.) must be protected against cor-
rosion (for example: rub with grease).
(4) The central position of the lance tube in the wall box is to be checked.
Ensured that the sealing elements (sliding plate or lamella) are easily
moveable.
(5) The arrangement of the nozzles in the rear end position and at blowing start is to be
checked. On opening the blower valve, the nozzle head must be far enough in the flue gas
pass to avoid blowing medium damaging the boiler wall. The installation documents are
to be observed.
(6) The positioning of the limit switches for rest position and reversing positon is to
be checked for compliance in accordance with the sketch "Mounting of the limit
switches, B2-03" and is to be readjusted, if necessary.
(7) Check whether the sootblower has been wired in accordance with the binding
terminal connection and cabling plans.

3. Commissioning of the sootblower with cold boiler

The first commissioning is to be carried out as follows:
1. The drive motor is to be isolated from the power supply. The sootblower carriage is to be
moved forward about 0.3 m by means of the hand crank or the pneumatic screws; the screws
are to be slipped on to the rear shaft end of the drive motor.

34
2. In order to check the direction of rotation of the motor the voltage supply is to be switched on
and immediately switched off again, and the direction of movement of the sootblower
carriage is to be observed at the same time. When the carriage has moved backwards, the
direction of rotation is correct. Otherwise 2 motor lines at the motor terminal box are to be
exchanged.
3. To check the function of the rear limit switch, the sootblower carriage is to be about 0.3 m
before the rear end position. When the electric control is switched on, the sootblower carriage
immediately reverses in accordance with (2). If not, the voltage supply has to be interrupted
and the control is to be checked. When the rear limit switch is now operated manually, the
sootblower carriage has to come to a stop. When the limit switch is released, the sootblower
carriage finally moves back to the rear end position.
4. When the front limit switch is checked, the sootblower carriage is to be in rear end position.
When the manual start-pushbutton in the switchboard is pressed, the carriage will move
forward. After a short travel, the front limit switch is to be pressed manually for a few
seconds. Then the sootblower carriage must reverse and move back to its left end position. In
case the carriage does not reverse, the voltage supply is to be interrupted immediately and the
control is to be checked.
5. In case of a sootblower plant equipped with sequence control, the entire plant shall be run
through automatically after all sootblowers have been individually checked. For further
details refer to the description of the electric control.
6. The attached commissioning check list B 2-08/09 is to be observed with regard to the
mechanical check.

4. Commissioning of the sootblower with hot boiler

1. When the boiler is hot the lance tube must not enter the flue gas pass without blowing
medium required for cooling. Ensure that the sootblower will only be operated when
sufficient pressure is available in the piping (refer to commissioning data B 2-10).
2. After commissioning in cold condition, the blowing pressure is to be adjusted when the
boiler is hot. The blowing pressure recommended for first commissioning is also indicated in
the sheet "Commissioning data", B 2-10. The adjustment of the blowing pressure is as
follows: (this work must only be carried out by authorized and trained personnel).
The sequence is to be exactly observed: (Use blower drawing)

35
a) Make sure that the sootblower valve is closed. Remove the locking screw with seal (on
the lefthand side or righthand side of the valve body) and screw in a pressure gauge with
a U-tube or conical tube.
b) Move the blower carriage forward far enough until the valve opens. First read
blowing pressure on the manometer and compare with the desired pressure.
Then return the blower carriage to its original position.
c) If any correction to the blowing pressure is necessary, first check whether the
blower valve is completely closed again. Then remove the lock screw on the
valve body and rotate the toothed pressure control disc with a screw driver or
similar tool. To decrease pressure, turn the disc downwards (clockwise); to
increase pressure turn it upwards (counter-clockwise).
d) Coat lock screw with heat resistant lubricants and screw back in position. Make sure
lock screw engages the slots in the disc. Then operate blower to check the blowing pressure again.
e) Repeat if necessary until the desired blowing pressure is obtained.
f) To avoid jamming the lock screw, never remove it when the blower valve is
too hot.
C a u t i o n!

The blower must under no circumstances be operated before the lock screw
has been replaced.

3. After adjustment of the blowing pressure, the sootblower should be operated under pressure
several times in order to check the tightness of the stuffing box packing at the feed tube and
sootblower valve (refer to chapter D1).
Attention is to be paid that both packings are not tightened too much since the sootblower
function can be affected by sluggishness (check the current consumption of the motor).
Within the first section of travel condensate cannot be avoided due to a certain leakage of the
stuffing box packing at the feed tube, even if the piping was sufficiently preheated.
If larger quantities of condensate penetrate after a longer travelling distance, check whether the
piping has been sufficiently drained or preheated for the supply of the blowing medium. (On this
occasion the slope of the piping system in the direction of the drainage point is to be checked).
If wet steam is used for blowing for a longer period of time, there is a danger that boiler parts
will be damaged by thermal shock and/or erosion.

36
In this connection the sootblower valve and vent valve are also to be checked for tightness.
Particularly during first commissioning when the valve seat is damaged more often by debris in
the piping (refer also to section D 1-08).

1. Sootblower operation
Normally the sootblower is a component part of a larger sootblower plant. This plant is
consist of piping, shut-off and drain valves, sootblowers and control. The latter controls
the flow of the blowing program and should include the interlocks required for protection
of boiler and sootblower, e.g. monitoring of the pressure, temperature of the blowing
medium and operating times of the sootblowers. Normally the sootblowers are operated
from a control cabinet or switch board in the control room. For further details refer to the
control documents.

2. Blowing frequency and blowing pressure

The frequency of soot blowing depends on the type and extent of contamination of the
heating surfaces. The heating surfaces within the blowing area of the sootblowers are to
be visually checked at regular intervals within the first period after commissioning.
If the cleaning effect is not sufficient, blowing frequency and/or blowing pressure are to
be increased. The same measures may be necessary when the waste gas temperature
and/or draught losses of the boiler have unacceptably increased.
Since the sootblower has an erosive effect in connection with dust or ash, it is absolutely
necessary to check the heating surfaces at regular intervals.
If bright or worn up points are visible at the heating surfaces, the blowing frequency and
the blowing pressure are to be reduced.
The actual blowing pressure, however, must not fall below the specified minimum
blowing pressure in accordance with B 2-10, in order to avoid overheating of the lance
tube.
The operation of the sootblower is not possible, when the actual blowing pressure falls
below the minimum blowing pressure. Because the initial pressure is too low (monitoring
by means of pressurestat; pressure losses in the piping are to be taken into account, as
well), a lance tube placed in the boiler will be damaged.
In case other erosions are detected, CLYDE BERGEMANN has to be informed
immediately.

3. Operation at longer standstill period of the sootblower

42
Normally the sootblowers shall be operated so many times that their operatability is

ensured at any time.

If they are operated not at all or only in rare cases, they should at least be operated every

14 days to make sure that all moveable parts, particularly the limit switches, remain

operative.

1. Troubles in the Movement

2. Measures when Overrunning Limit Switches
2.1 Rear Limit Switch
2.2 Front Limit Switch

Attention!
Any deviation from the instructions contained in
this manual will render any guarantees null and void!

45
1. Troubles in the movement

(1) When the movement of the sootblower is disturbed by sluggishness the overload relay
of the sootblower control shall respond and change over the direction of rotation of the
drive motor. In this manner the reverse movement of the sootblower carriage shall be
initiated. The rear limit switch switches the motor off when the idle position is reached.
(2) When the pressure in the sootblower network drops below the prescribed minimum
value, pressure monitoring shall effect the immediate return of the operating blower to its
initial position.
(3) If the sootblower drive fails during the blowing process, the sootblower carriage is to
be moved back by means of the hand crank which is to be slipped onto the rear shaft
end of the motor. In this case it has to be ensured that the drive motor is disconnected
and cannot start again. The use of a hoist or a similar device for moving the sootblower
carriage back is not allowed because the gear might be damaged.

2. Measures when Overrunning the Limit Switches

In order to make the blower get ready for work again, proceed as follows:
2.1 Rear Limit Switch
If the rear position switch is overrun, the driving pinion of the blower carriage runs off the
toothed rack in order to avoid further damage. By means of this, the axial movement of
the blower carriage is interrupted and the rotation of the lance tube is continued.
(1) The motor must be switched off. It must be guaranteed that it cannot start again.
(2) The blower carriage must be moved so far to the front that the driving pinion
contacts the toothed rack.
(3) By actuating the crank handle, which must be slipped onto the rear shaft end of the
driving motor, the driving pinion engages when the blower carriage is powerfully
pressed at the same time.
(4) The blower carriage is again located in the final position, the limit switches must
be checked for damage and the blower control must be checked for faults.
(5) After repairing the damage, proceed as given in Section B 2, Chapter 3,
"Commissioning of the sootblower".

2.2 Front limit switch

46
(1) The supply of the blowing agent necessary for cooling the lance tube must not be
disconnected and the sootblower carriage is to be moved back to the idle position
as soon as possible.
(2) The motor is to be disconnected when the sootblower carriage can be moved back.
Ensure that the motor cannot start again.
(3) In order to initiate the reverse movement, the sootblower carriage is to be
manually pulled back - if necessary by means of a hoist or similar device - until
the pinion is in contact with the toothed rack.
(4) Now the sootblower carriage is to be moved back about 300 mm by means of the
hand crank so that it exceeds the front end position and is within the normal
operating range. In this case attention is to be paid that the switch lever of the
limit switch is not jammed on the stop rail of the blower carriage.
(5) Try to reverse the blower carriage by means of the motor and electric control.
When the motor is switched on check that the direction of travel is correct.
(6) As soon as the blower carriage is back in its idle position, check the limit switches
for damage and the control of the blower for defects.
(7) After removal of the damage the blower can be put into operation again.

 2. Track beam

2.1 Track beam rail

In case of high accumulation of dust in the boiler house the slide rails of the sootblower
carriage are to be blown with compressed air, particularly after boiler repairs or the like.
2.2 Toothed rack
Depending on the degree of contamination the toothed rack is to be cleaned and relubricated
(refer to list of lubricants) at regular intervals, approx. every year; thereby the wear and tear
of pinion and toothed rack should be checked, as well.
2.3 Lance tube guide
The lance tube guide is equipped with double-sided sealed ball bearings which are provided
with long-term grease filling for higher temperatures. Therefore these ball bearings need no
service.

3. Sootblower carriage
3.1 Spur worm gear and motor
(1) The spur worm gear will be delivered with a long-term lubrication of synthetic oil.
(2) After about 10000 operating hours of the motor or at least after 5 years, athorough
cleaning of the gear and new filling with lubricant indicated in the lubricant list is
recommended.
(3) The required quantity of lubricant for the new filling is indicated on the rating plate
as reference value.
(4) Take care that motor and gear form one unit. Depending on the mounting position of
the sootblower, the gear oil is to be drained off before the motor is disconnected. The
sealing surface between motor and gear is to be thoroughly cleaned and provided
with sealing compound.
3.2 Case bearing
The roller bearings of the lance tube are filled with long-life lubricant.
3.3 Rotating drive
The roller chain translating the rotating movement of the gearing-chain wheel to the lance
tube must be cleaned once a year and relubricated. Use the lubricant recommended in the
lubricant list.
3.4 Rollers and supporting rollers
The rollers and supporting rollers of the sootblower carriage are needs no service.

51
3.5 Gland (feed tube seal)
The stuffing box packing is already installed at delivery of the sootblower. The stuffing
box gland is slightly tightened.
After the sootblower has been operated under pressure for several times, the packing has
settled. Thereafter the stuffing box gland is to be tightened slowly and step by step. In this
case it has to be observed that the frictional resistance of the packing must not be too high
otherwise the movement the sootblower carriage will be disturbed (observe motor current
consumption). Moreover it has to be taken into account that the penetration of condensate
at the beginning of the travel and a small amount of steam during further operation are
unavoidable. The packing is to be replaced when the stuffing box gland cannot be sealed
by retightening (refer to section "Maintenance").

4. Lance tube and feed tube

4.1 Lance tube with nozzle head
The lance tube is to be checked at regular intervals for deformation and possible damage
caused by corrosion and the nozzle head is to be additionally checked for thermal shock
cracks and scaling. Moreover the distance between the blowing nozzles and tube wall is
to be checked in idle position and at blower start.
4.2 Feed tube
The feed tube shall be cleaned at boiler standstill. In this case attention is to be paid to
surface damage and damage caused by corrosion and erosion.

5. Support (Feed Tube)

The support cradle consists of a welded structure on which guide bushes is screwed to
support the feed tube. The guide bushes are to be replaced according to wear condition.

6. Blower Valve with Operating Mechanism

6.1 Blower Valve
The blower valve is tested for proper tightness ex. works. During blowing pauses,
humidity could penetrate the blower through a leaky valve and could cause corrosion at the
lance and feed tube in connection with flue gas. If there is any suspicion of valve leakage
(e.g. the sound of escaping blowing medium when the valve is closed), valve seat and cone
must be checked and reground if necessary. Before taking the piping into operation, take

52
 care that the valve actuation is located in the right position (valve shut) since otherwise
wallbox and valve actuation will be damaged.
6.2 Gland (Valve Spindle Seal)
The gland is properly packed ex works. Once the blower has been operated a few times
under pressure, the packing will have settled and will require retightening. This process
must be repeated whenever the packing leaks. If this is not sufficient, the entire packing
must be replaced (see Section "Repair").
6.3 Valve Actuation
The hinge joints of the valve actuation needs no maintenance since all bearing points are
self-lubricating.

7. Vent Valve
The vent valve is tested for proper tightness ex works. In order to prevent the blowing
medium from escaping, its function and tightness should be checked regularly. Valve seat
and valve cone must be reground if necessary.

Section D 2 Servicing of the Sootblower

1. Replacement of the feed tube packing

2. Replacement of the valve spindle packing
3. Dismounting and mounting of the sootblower valve
4. Dismounting and mounting of the lance and feed tube
5. Dismounting and mounting of the sootblower carriage

Attention!
Any deviation from the instructions contained in
this manual will render any guarantees null and void!

54
1. Replacement of the feed tube packing
Replace the packing as follows:
(1) Make sure that the valves in the sootblower piping are shut off and that the motor
of the blower cannot be switched on.
(2) Loosen the stuffing box gland and move the sootblower carriage about
0.3 m forward. In most cases a part of the old packing is pushed out owing to this
movement.
(3) Carefully remove remaining packing residuals from the packing space.
(4) Insert the new packing rings individually into the packing space.
They have to be driven home carefully by means of the stuffing box
(5) After insertion of the packing tighten the stuffing box gland uniformly (not too
tight, observe motor current). Now the sootblower can be put into operation again.
(6) Slightly retighten the stuffing box packing after the sootblower has been
operated several times.

2. Replacement of the Valve Spindle Packing

(1) All valves in the sootblower lines must be shut off and the motor is disconnected.
(2) Loosen the yoke fitted to the tie rod from the valve lever and subsequently turn the
latter backward. The valve spindle is now accessible.
(3) Secure the valve spindle and cone assembly against falling down by means of a wire
which is to be pushed through the small bore in the valve spindle.
(4) After removing the horseshoe key from the valve spindle, take off the spring retainer
and the valve spring.
(5) Unscrew the packing nut and remove the packing follower.
(6) Remove the old packing rings from the packing cavity and thoroughly cleanout all
small scraps of packing left in the cavity.
(7) Insert the new rings one by one into the packing cavity, making sure that the rings are
not damaged.
(8) Once the new packing is inserted, replace the packing follower and tighten the
packing nut lightly.
(9) Return the valve spindle to its original position and insert the valve spring, the spring
retainer and the horseshoe key. Remove the holding wire.

55
 (10) After reassembling the valve operating mechanism, the blower is ready for
operation again.
(11) After the blower has been operated a few times, retighten the packing.

3. Dismounting and mounting of the sootblower valve

(1) Make sure that the valves in the sootblower piping are shut off and that the lines are
depressurized. The voltage supply to the sootblowers must be disconnected.
(2) Disconnect the sootblower valve from the piping and dismount the scavenging air line,
if necessary. After loosening the valve operating mechanism from the sootblower
valve (refer to chapter 2), unscrew the 4 hexagon nuts from the T-cross piece and
remove the sootblower valve with seal.
(3) Mounting is carried out in reverse sequence of dismounting. Check the dismounted
seals. Replace the damaged seals. After the sootblower has been operated all screwed
connections of the steam flow parts are to be checked.

4. Dismounting and mounting of lance and feed tube

1) Check that the valves in the sootblower lines are shut off and that the electric power
supply to the motor is isolated.
2) Loosen the stuffing box gland and move the blower carriage forward about 0.3m,
Draw the stuffing box rings from the packing cavity (refer to chapter1). Then return
the blower carriage to its original position.
3) Separate the blower flange from the piping flange. Loosen the valve operating
mechanism from the blower valve (refer to chapter2) and remove the 4 hexagon nuts
from the valve fastening plate.
4) Pull off the blower valve from the feed tube and, thereby pay attention to the flange
gasket and the feed tube gasket. The bisected type locking ring and the parallel key
can now be removed from the feed tube.
5) Pull the feed tube forward out of the valve plate. The stuffing box gland and the
stuffing box packing can now be removed from the exposed end. Then push the feed
tube as far as possible into the lance hub and the lance tube.
6) To disassemble the lance tube, unscrew the bolts at the lance tube flange and provide
the flange end of this tube with a temporary support.

56
 7) Pull the lance tube from the lance hub, making sure that the finished ground feed tube
is not damaged.
8) Mounting of the feed tube and lance tube is carried out in reverse sequence. Seals and
packings are to be checked and replaced, if necessary.
9) After remounting of the tubes, check whether the feed tube runs in parallel to the track
beam and whether it is precisely centered in the stuffing box. After operation of the
sootblower all screwed connections of steam-carrying parts are to be checked.

5. Dismounting and mounting of the sootblower carriage

(1) Make sure that the valves in the sootblower piping are shut off and the line is
depressurized. The voltage supply to the sootblowers must be disconnected.
(2) Loosen the stuffing box gland and move the sootblower carriage about 0.3 m forward.
Remove the packing rings from the stuffing box (refer to chapter 1). Thereafter the
sootblower carriage is to be moved back to its rest position.
(3) Disconnect the sootblower valve from the piping. After loosening the valve operating
mechanism from the sootblower valve (refer to chapter 2), unscrew the 4 hexagon
nuts from the T-cross piece and remove the sootblower valve with seal.
(4) The feed tube with T-cross piece can be with drawn after the 4 screws are loosened.
(5) For dismounting the lance tube the hexagon screws at the lance tube flange are to be
loosened. The lance tube can now be pulled out of the blower carriage in forward
direction.
(6) After disconnection of the cable and power supply system, the sootblower carriage
can be moved backwards by means of the hand crank. As soon as the drive pinion is
run off the toothed rack, the carriage is removed from the rail.
(7)Mounting is to be carried out in reverse sequence. Check whether seals and packings

have been damaged and have to be replaced. After mounting, check whether the feed
tube runs in parallel to the track beam and is exactly centered in the gland. After
operation of the sootblower all screwed connections of steam carrying parts are to be
checked
