Shell boilers - Part 7 : Requirements for firing systems for liquid and gaseous fuels for the boilers

These requirements apply to oil and gas firing systems of steam and hot water generators. For multifuel firing systems using separate or combined burners these requirements shall apply to the oil and/or gas firing part involved. Where several fuels are burnt simultaneously, improved safety measures may be necessary, especially in respect to limitation of heat input into the firing system and proper air supply to the individual fuels.

Großwasserraumkessel - Teil 7 : Anforderungen an Feuerungsanlagen für flüssige und gasförmige Brennstoffe für den Kessel

Diese Anforderungen gelten für Öl- und Gasfeuerungsanlagen an Dampf- und Heißwasserzeugern. Für kombinierte Feuerungsanlagen mit getrennten oder kombinierten Brennern gelten diese Anforderungen für den Öl- und/oder Gasfeuerungsteil. Wenn verschiedene Brennstoffe gleichzeitig verbrannt werden, können erhöhte Sicherheitsmaßnahmen nötig werden, vorzugsweise im Hinblick auf die Begrenzung der Wärmeleistung der Feuerungsanlage und richtige Lufzuführung zu den einzelnen Brennstoffen.

Foreword
This document (EN 12953-7:2002) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 269 "Shell and water-tube
boilers", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by November 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest
by November 2002.
The European Standard EN 12953 concerning shell boilers consists of the following Parts:

 General.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this Part of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
liquid fuels
light fuel oils, and heavy fuel oils which need preheating for proper atomisation
3.2
gaseous fuels
standardized quality differentiated mainly by their relative density
3.2.1
light gases
with relative density below 1,3 e.g. natural gas, coke-oven gas, blast-furnace gas
NOTE Natural gas in accordance with ISO 6976.
3.2.2
heavy gases
with relative densities exceeding 1,3 e.g. liquefied petroleum gases, the main components of which are propane
and butane
3.3
burners
devices for the introduction of fuel and air into a combustion chamber at required velocities, turbulence and local
fuel concentration to establish and maintain proper ignition and stable combustion of the fuel
3.4
burner management system
performs a predetermined sequence of actions and always operates in conjunction with a flame monitor that reacts
to signals from control and safety devices, gives control commands, controls the start-up sequence, supervises the
burner operation, and causes controlled shutdown and lockout
3.5
firing system
total equipment required for the combustion of fuels including the installations for the storage, preparation, and
supply of fuels, the combustion air supply, the burner(s), the flue gas discharge, and all related control and moni-
toring devices
NOTE A flue gas re-circulation system can be installed as an integral part of the firing system.
3.6
firing system heat input
heat input into the combustion chamber, including the reserve required for load control at which the boiler can be
safely operated
NOTE The mass flow of the fuel supplied multiplied by the net calorific value.
3.7
flame monitor
device which detects the presence or absence or break-away of the flame and transmits a signal to the control de-
vice, and generally, consists of a sensing device (if necessary with amplifier) and switching equipment
3.8
flue gas re-circulation
return of flue gas from downstream of the flame zone or from the flue gas exit by hydrodynamic pressure difference
or a separate fan into the air register of the burner or directly into the combustion chamber
3.9
limiters

rate at which the burner may be operated
3.13
multi-fuel burners
burners in which more than one fuel is burned either simultaneously or separately
3.14
purging of the flue gas passes
forced flow of air through the combustion chamber, flue gas passes, and associated ducts which effectively re-
moves any combustible products and replaces them with air
3.16
relative density
ratio of the density of the gas to the density of dry air under equal conditions of pressure and temperature
3.17
return-flow atomizer
oil burners where a portion of the quantity of oil supplied to the burner via the flow line does not flow from a burner
gun into the combustion chamber, but flows backwards into the storage tank or the suction side of the pump via a
separate return line, the output being adjusted by a control device in the return line
4 Fuel supply
4.1 Fuel transfer and preparation
4.1.1 The fuel supply line shall be equipped with a master fuel trip which shall be positioned in a safe location. It
shall cut off the fuel supply to the boiler room or the boiler area and can be operated manually or by remote control,
or by an emergency switch.
4.1.2 Some liquid fuels such as heavy fuel oil shall be preheating to achieve the viscosity required for proper at-
omisation.
Any heat source that can be cut off immediately if required, and the rating of which can be automatically controlled,
can be used for oil preheating. Open flames shall not be permitted. The fuel oil temperature shall not attain the fuel
oil flash point at atmosphere pressure.
Each fuel oil preheating system shall be automatically temperature controlled. A temperature indicator shall be fitted
downstream of the preheating system. A suitable cut-out for the heating source shall be provided to prevent
overheating of the oil. In addition, a minimum temperature limiting device shall also be provided to ensure adequate
atomisation.
For pressurized preheaters, the requirements for pressure vessels shall be applied, including overpressure
protection. Any escaping oil shall be safely discharged.
4.2 Fuel lines
4.2.1 Fuel lines, including gaskets and valves shall be designed and laid out to withstand the mechanical, chemi-
cal and thermal loads to which they are exposed in service. Only fire resistant piping material shall be permitted.
Isolation valves shall be provided between the burner and the fuel lines.
4.2.2 The fuel lines shall be tight and properly fixed. In systems subjected to vibrations the resulting stresses
shall be minimized to avoid leakage.
4.2.3 Flexible lines may be used for connecting the burner to the fixed
