Water-tube boilers—Part 7: Safety appurtenances and instruments (English Version)
Technical elements | Requirements of the 2013 version | Changes in the 2022 version |
---|---|---|
Safety valve type | Power-driven pressure relief valve is not specified | New definition in Article 3.7, allowing it to be used as an overpressure protection device |
Direct current boiler safety valve | Combined displacement ratio is not specified | It is clarified that the displacement of the power-driven pressure relief valve accounts for 10-30% (5.2.6) |
Interlock protection power supply | No backup power supply management requirements | Added Article 10.30 that the backup power supply cannot be withdrawn at will |
Based on the working pressure difference of water tube boilers:
Case: A boiler in a power station burst due to a pipe failure due to the lack of a pressure gauge at the economizer outlet. Article 6.1c of the new standard clearly requires that a pressure gauge must be installed at the economizer outlet (except for drum boilers).
Standard 5.2.8 provides three methods for calculating the displacement:
Article 10.10 recommends the use of a SIL3 safety-related system, which must comply with the following:
