1. *What is meant by FSSS/BMS?*


Furnace Safeguard Supervisory system / Burner Management System

Before firing any fuel (initially or after trip) furnace to be purged
completely for clearing out any unburnt fuel / gases which were left out in
the furnace.


1. *What is meant by wind box DP?*


Wind box DP is the differential pressure between Secondary air wind box
to furnace.


1. *Why scanner air fan is provided?*


Scanner fan is provided for cooling the flame scanner heads and to avoid
overheating of the scanner heads.

1. *What is meant by MFT? *Master fuel trip



1. *What is meant by SADC? *Secondary air damper control



1. *What is the purpose of MFT?*


The master fuel trip (MFT) is established when abnormal boiler conditions
dictate that all fuel input to the boiler be removed immediately and
automatically.


1. *How flame scanner works and the difference between SF -1 and SF-2
scanner?*


The Safe Flame head assembly is designed to detect flame from two
different sources using one scanner head. It will discriminate between an
individual oil gun flame and a background fireball flame. It discriminates
between the two flames by sensing the characteristics (frequencies and
intensity levels) of the visible light they emit.


Safe Flame-I and Safe Flame-II. Both have four channels of flame
detection; but while each channel of SF-I can detect only one fuel flame,
each of channel of SF-II, the extended version of SF-I, can detect
individually two different fuel flames in the same combustion area. So *in
a fossil fired boiler SF-I is used for detection of only fire-ball flame
while SF-II is used for detection of both oil-gun flame and background
fire-ball flame.*


1. *What is the function of FSSS?*


FSSS system supervises controls and monitors the preparation,
distribution and admission of fuel and air into the furnace and execution
and enforcement of pre-established safe firing procedure.


Generally the FSSS system is a combination of safety monitoring systems
with a large amount of automatic control.
