This visit is continuation to the visit made by EAPL team of Shri SK, SRK & SELF on 09 June
2009. Please refer MOM dated 09 June 2009 circulated by mail on 12 June 2009.
As per the MOM refered above, material and manpower arranged and schedule was sent to
Customer to carry out the activities decided during Boiler shutdown. Self and Mr S Rameskumar
visited site to access the situation and inspect the APH.
DAY 1 14 JULY 2009
Insulation of APH was removed with the help of BCs maintenance contractor in the rear, left
side and air inlet to APH. Visual inspection carried out thoroughly. During this inspection
craters and cracks observed in the following areas;
a. bottom plate of inlet transition duct
b. partition plate between FD & PA duct at inlet transition duct
c. left side casing plate
d. lower end of top bank casing cum air passage (outlet )at rear side of APH
Also noticed, that the partition plate inside the FD inlet transition duct to APH was not
provided. This plate is to distribute the flow evenly towards APH. At the rear side, vertical
channel stiffeners were not provided exactly where the casing plates has given away. Though
the partition and stiffener plates are not provided as per drawing, the localized crack and
craters are sounds like the raw material is brittle. It was observed during the visual inspection
that tubes, expansion of tubes and tube sheets are in good condition.
The casing plate at rear of APH was cut and opened for a height of 1.05 mtr and width of 2.50
mtr.

The FD inlet transition duct to APH was cut open to access & attend the cracks.
Partition plate between FD & PA ducts at APH inlet was cut opened for 0.5 mtr width and
height of 4.0 mtr.
The bottom plate of inlet transition duct was cut opened for the width of the duct.
New plates were prepared at ground to close all the above-mentioned opening.
At rear side the opening was closed with new plate and welding completed inside and

09 APH PROBLEMS

Decision to be taken on the following;


1. Whether the APH can be closed after attending the leakage or to be checked completely. If
it has to be checked completely, then our insulation team has to be arranged to remove
and reinstall insulation of entire APH casing.
2. EAPL agreed to supply the modified bed ash conveyor and erecting the same. BC is asking
EAPL to modify the ash handling piping according to the new bed ash conveyor.
3. BC asking to remove all the bracings provided for the conveyor leg supports, for easy access
under the airbox.
4. BC asks EAPL to do the overhauling of Drag chain conveyor.
