521-06 - Combustion Air and Flue Gas System Shutdown Process
Learning objectives
- Walk through the steps for boiler shutdown, describing procedures related to each of these critical components: primary air (PA) fan, induced draft (ID) fan, forced draft (FD) fan, and air preheaters
- Explain how air flow and fuel flow are controlled during shutdown
- Define thermal shock and explain how to avoid it during shutdown
Course overview
Every boiler or power plant has a specific shutdown process outlined in a standard operating procedure. These shutdown procedures must be followed step-by-step to ensure worker safety and minimize equipment damage. The Combustion Air and Flue Gas System Shutdown training course provides an understanding of the shutdown process. It highlights general knowledge of an operator's shutdown responsibilities, including primary air fans, air preheaters, and FD and ID fans. This course is part of the Combustion Air and Flue Gas System training series.
