1.1.6.1.1 Strictly implement management standards of operating shift change, equipment routine inspection, and
equipment regular test and alternation, if there is coal leakage or powder leakage, it needs to clean up in time to
prevent spontaneous combustion. The floor of coal handling site should be flushed once each day. Coal handling
system which has not been used for long time, including accumulated coal and accumulated powder of belt
conveyor, coal chute and precipitator, should be clean up each shift; there should not be coal accumulated on the
belt to avoid spontaneous combustion of accumulated coal and powder.
1.1.6.1.2 There should be quarantine measures for flame operation above or near the coal conveyor belt.
1.1.6.1.3 Each shift should check whether fire water sprinkler, fire water curtain and deluge valves is lost or
damaged and record them. It must not use fire water to flush and remove ash.
1.1.6.1.4 When detonator is found on the coal conveyor belt, measures need to be taken to clean, if detonator can
not be cleared away, it should stop the belt and then handle it and avoid explosion accident caused by collision,
falling, extrusion or heat of detonator.
1.1.6.1.5 For the accumulated coal and powder which is cleaned to conveyor in coal handling site civilized
production, should start the equipment on time, accumulated coal and powder cleaned in civilized production
should not be cleaned to standby (overhaul) conveyor, and should not stay on the conveyor for more than 24 hours
to avoid spontaneous combustion caused by the cleaned accumulated coal and powder stack on the conveyor for
long time and avoid endangering the safe operation of coal handling system.
1.1.6.2 Prevention of coal pulverizing system explosion and coal dust explosion
1.1.6.2.1 Make sure the granularity of as fired coal is within the specified value range and monitor the quality of
as fired coal change within the design value range.
1.1.6.2.2 Monitor and prohibit untreated spontaneous combustion coal in coal yard to enter coal handling system
and raw coal hopper.
1.1.6.2.3 Put de-ironing separator into operation in accordance with the provisions to reduce and prevent against
as fired coal containing detonators. If a detonator is found on the last stage of coal conveyor belt, the belt should

1.4.8.5. Object calibration method and notes
1.4.8.5.1 Object calibration method: First use self-calibration weight for calibration. If qualified, place the
electric three-way plate on the #4 belt-type transmission at the hopper of object calibration device. The coal enters
the hopper of object calibration device. When the object calibration controlling instrument reaches the rated
weight, C4A belt-type transmission stops coal filling. Place the electric three-way plate below the object
calibration hopper at any side of C5 belt-type transmission where the electric belt scale is. Open the slide valve
under the object calibration hopper and repeat this process till the second calibration.
1.4.8.5.2 Notes: After the hopper of the object calibration device is filled with coal, it is forbidden to lift the
weight of the object calibration device. After the hopper of the object calibration device is filled with coal, the
weight shall not be at the object calibration device. Or the sensor on the object calibration device will be damaged.
Even civil structure in the coal crushing room may be damaged.

Long piling method


2.3.4
Slope reclaiming method
Slope multiple layer cutting method: For this method, moving time of bucket wheel equals to the cutting layer.
Cutting material is piled along the self-piling slope of the piling material. Dig the material from top to bottom.
Height of each digging is no more than 2 meters. Meantime, the car suspends and cantilever rotates at interval.
After the cantilever rotates more than 60 in total, the car goes backward for a distance of S, [S=(0.4-0.6)h,
h=500mm]At this time, lower the bucket wheel to dig a height and then continue to dig. Cantilever rotates at
interval in an opposite direction for second slope reclaiming. After reaching the stipulated depth, the traveling
mechanism travels one cutting-in.
2.3.5
Horizontal full layer reclaiming method
Reclaim from top to bottom on one side of track according to the height of material pile. When the car goes
forward for a certain distance after rotating for 60, which means the depth of hopper is S, height between layers
is hopper cutting height H which is generally 1/2D (D is hopper diameter), about no more than 2m. Cantilever
rotate in an opposite direction to the edge of material pile and the car moves forward one cut-in distance. Lower the
hopper to the next layer and rotate the cantilever in an opposite direction. In this way, reclaim the first layer, the
second layer, the third layer, etc.
Above mentioned operation mode is realized by multiple actuation. This machine mainly has the following
actuation methods:
a. Set a final limit switch for the car when forward and backward in order to prevent from derailing.
b. Cantilever pitching adopts hydraulic transmission according to the horizontal direction with nose-up pitch of
13.2, back-up pitch of 13.4 and rotary angle of 110.
c. Tail car includes piling and reclaiming positions and position changing mechanism accomplishes. When
piling, swinging rod is 90 against the horizontal surface; when reclaiming, swinging rod is horizontally placed.

3.4.1.2 Selection of Operation Mode
Click the "Automatic" button with a mouse in the bottom of the screen, and the automatic button will change from
green to red, indicating that the automatic operation mode has been selected in the coal handling system.
3.4.1.3 Setting of Bunker Allocation Mode
Before the process is started, if the process is from the coal source to the coal bunker, the bunker allocation mode
must be selected at this time. Point the mouse to the "Bunker Setting" button in the bottom of the operation screen,
and click the left mouse button to pop up the "Bunker Setting Operation Box". If "Automatic Bunker Allocation"
is desired, point the mouse to the button "Automatic Bunker Allocation", and click the left mouse button. When
the color of the indicator of "Automatic Bunker Allocation" button changes, it indicates that automatic bunker
allocation mode has been selected. Selection steps of manual bunker allocation mode are the same as those of
automatic bunker allocation mode.
3.4.1.4 Selection of Process
Process shall be selected with the upper computer. A total 26 processes are included in the three combinations.
In the flow chart, use the mouse to click the box with the name of the process-related devices to be started, and the
color of the device name will change, indicating that the device has been selected. When all the devices for the
selected process have been selected, a prompt box will pop up to prompt the operator to click the button of the
selected process. If wanting to re-select, the operator can click the "re-select" button, and then the process can be
re-selected. Then follow the prompts and click the process button below the flow chart. When the left mouse
button is released, and corresponding prompts will pop up if any device for the process has occupied by another
process, or if there is any device not in the programmed position, or if any device has a fault. If the selected
process meets the conditions of start, a operation box of correct process will pop up.
3.4.1.5 Start of Process
After it is confirmed that the process can be started, give a first bell at the field. When the first bell is given, the
electric retractable devices and electric three-way baffles within the scope of the process start to operate, and the
process can be started after the bell. Point the mouse to the Start button and click the left mouse button, and then
the process is started.
79

Zambia Maamba 2150MW Fuel Operation and Maintenance Manual

If a baffle is not in place, an accident prompt will pop up in the CRT station monitoring screen, and the operation
of the process will be interrupted. If all the electric retractable devices and electric three-way baffles within the
scope of the process are in place, all the selected devices along the line will be started in a delay mode from the
end of the belt conveyor to the coal source in accordance with the selected process in the opposite direction of the
coal flow.
3.4.1.6 Stop of Process
When the coal handling is completed, "process stop" operation shall be carried out immediately. For "process
stop" operation, all the selected devices will be stopped one by one in a preset delay time mode from the coal
source device to the last device according to the selected process along the coal flow direction. The delay time is
set to ensure that the device in operation will not be stopped before all the coal on it is unloaded.
During automatic operation, if any device is identified with a fault or accident, such as stay cord failure, severe
off-tracking and skidding or coal-blocking for10 seconds, stop the belt immediately and trip all the devices in an
interlinked way in the opposite direction of coal flows. While the devices downstream the fault point shall be
maintained in the original working state. After the fault is removed, click the "Fault Removed" button at the
bottom of the operation screen to re-start the devices from the upstream of the fault point in a delay mode. The
operator can also perform the "process stop" operation when the fault is not removed, i.e., stopping the devices
one by one in a preset delay time mode from the downstream of the fault point to the last device along the coal
flow direction. Coal crusher shall not be tripped if it itself is free of faults. When the "Emergency Stop" button
(available on the operating console and the upper computer) is pressed, all other operating devices along the line
will be stopped immediately.
The status of the devices can be checked any time on the upper computer CRT, such as running, coal-blocking,
off-tracking, skidding, and stay cord failure.
The system also has the function of overhaul setting for the device. When the on-site device needs an overhaul,
the operator can set "Overhaul" for the device on the upper computer, and then the PLC control program will stop
the operation of the device.
3.4.2 Manual Operation
Manual operation includes interlocking manual mode and unlocking manual mode.
Point your mouse to the Manual button and click your mouse. The "manual checkbox" is displayed. To
choose the interlocking manual mode, point your mouse to the Interlocking Manual and click your mouse. When
the indicator turns from gray to red, the system has switched to the interlocking manual mode. The steps for
choosing unlocking manual mode are the same as those for the interlocking manual mode.
3.4.2.1 Interlocking manual mode: after you choose and start the running process, start devices one-to-one
on the upper workstation against the coal flow; you can operate any device in the process during shutdown, and all
devices are in interlocking shutdown status before you operate them. The interlocking relation is the same as the
automation mode in the running process. You need to notice one point here: interlocking manual operation upon
any device in the stop-running process only be applied in an emergency. To use the interlocking manual mode to
stop a device, you send a fault signal to the program equivalently. If you want to restart this device, you must
follow the "fault removal" procedure.
3.4.2.2 Unlocking manual mode
The unlocking manual mode refers to operating onsite devices from an upper workstation without any
interlocking relations. In this mode, you can start or stop any onsite devices.
Note: if a system has any device running in the automated or interlocking manual mode, you are not
80

Zambia Maamba 2150MW Fuel Operation and Maintenance Manual

allowed to switch the system to the unlocking manual mode. Otherwise, the interlocking relations of original
running devices are removed, and they cannot be interlockingly stopped at an accident.
3.4.3 Coal Blending Mode
Coal blending includes "auto blending", "manual blending", and "local blending". "Auto blending" further
includes sequential blending, residual blending, and prioritized blending (low coal level).
3.4.3.1 Control mode of auto blending
First select the tail bunker, overhaul plow, and overhaul bunker. The upper display shows the symbol of tail
bunker beside the coal bunker, and the corresponding plow will turn gray after being set as "overhaul" state. On
the "blending checkbox", choose "auto blending", the conveyor system sends the "program starting" signal and the
conveyor belt runs first, carrying out a sequential coal blending for target coal bunkers by their sequence. Each
bunker consumes several minutes (dependent on the actual condition of the site), and the system goes to the next
bunker, with overhaul plows automatically skipped. When bunkers are full, a high coal level alarm is sent. In the
process of sequential blending, coal plows of high coal level are automatically skipped.
In the process of auto blending, if any bunker has a low coal level or extra-low coal level, the programmed control
system automatically switches to this bunker until the low-coal-level signal is removed. If any bunker behind the
tail bunker has a low coal level or extra-low coal level, the system sends an "empty bunker" alarm.
After all bunkers involved in the coal blending have a high coal level, the program automatically performs a
delayed stop from the coal source, and at the same time starts residual blending via the belt from the first coal
plow. In this process, the system allocates a certain time for each plow following the coal flow direction before
switching to the next plow for coal blending. After all plows are completed, the sequential residual blending
program switches back to the first plow for a circulation until the conveyor belt stops.
In the sequential blending and residual blending processes, if any plow is lowered and stuck, the "lowering stuck"
signal is sent, and the system automatically sets this plow as an "overhaul plow" without affecting the following
coal plows. During auto blending, if any plow is lifted and stuck, the "lifting stuck" signal is sent, and the system
automatically sets the plow as tail plow, and the bunker where the plow resides as the tail bunker, without
affecting the auto blending process.
The upper computer in this system has the overhaul function for coal plows and coal bunkers. Any coal plow or
overhaul bunker set as "overhaul state" do not participate in the coal blending, and overhaul plows are
automatically skipped in coal blending.
3.4.3.2 Manual blending mode
The "manual blending" mode is to realize one-to-one soft operation of "lifting and lowering" for onsite plows via
the PLC of an upper computer.
3.4.3.3 Bunker metering
The coal blending system is also provided with complete bunker metering and furnace metering function, which
creates conditions for balance calculation of the power plant.
The programmed control system can added up feed amount of each coal bunker based on the measuring impulse
of electronic belt scale for metering of each bunker and furnace, to form the coal consumption reports.
3.4.4 Monitoring and Alarm
3.4.4.1 The upper software not only sends control commands, but also monitors working status and parameters of
each device. The control system of the upper computer has abundant operation interface functions, which
81

Zambia Maamba 2150MW Fuel Operation and Maintenance Manual

visualize the production and management processes of the coal handling system, making the programmed control
more precise. System interfaces include the flow chart interface, trend interface, report interface, and composite
window interface.
3.4.4.2 Device accident alarm
The programmed system is provided with complete alarm functions for the protection of belt conveyor:
stretching, deviation, slipping, tearing, and blocking, etc.
The PLC has the self-diagnosis function.
a) Voice alarm: the upper computer automatically starts the multimedia voice based on the fault information when
a fault occurs and sends the voice alarm though the audio device.
b) The PLC can display the fault time and fault nature in Chinese characters, and make recordings.
c) Some parts of the flow chart on computer screen can change colors or flickers, to indicate the fault areas.
d) After a device sends an accident alarm, the monitoring screen of the upper computer can automatically display
the flow chart of the fault area, the figure of the major accident device changes its color, and the real-time alarm
little window shows the accident nature and occurrence time. At the same time, the voice alarm system sends a
voice to report the accident situation.
e) Alarm records can be outputted from a CRT screen or printer, and saved on the hard disk as ASCII files for 30
days.
f) Over the screen, you can click "interlocking auto" or "interlocking manual" to interlockingly-manually choose a
coal loading mode. When the alarm window under the button turns from green to red, the running mode has been
selected.
3.4.5 Inspection and Preparation Before System Shift-Over and Start
3.4.5.1 Preparation before shift-over
3.4.5.1.1 The chief attendant shall first check running logs, shift records, equipment defects, and work sheets, and
master equipment operation and maintenance, equipment defects, and other abnormalities.
3.4.5.1.2 Voltage indications displayed on the CRT shall be in normal scope.
3.4.5.1.3 All buttons, mouse, indicators, switches, and signals are intact, and all monitors and onsite cameras work
properly. Otherwise, query the chief attendant of the shift and report to the shift leader if necessary.
3.4.5.1.4 If the system is running during a shift change, carefully observe indications of the ampere meter and
working conditions of each monitor, and do not change the shift until everything is secured. The one take the shift
will be liable for any problem rising from the shift change.
3.4.5.1.5 The communication system works normally, and air conditioners and other equipment/tools are intact.
3.4.5.1.6 Utilities, doors and windows are intact.
3.4.5.1.7 Disk faces, table boards, floors, glass, toilets, and stairs shall be clean and reach the standards for
civilized production.
3.4.6. Pre-start Check
3.4.6.2.1 The chief attendant shall call the local attendant 10 minutes before the start to explain the running
mode of the equipment and arrange for pre-check, especially to check the change-over switch, pull switch, verify
the position of baffles, and confirm that there is no condition endangering personal or equipment security and no
maintainer is working. Only upon the reception of a confirmative callback, can the equipment be started. If the
local attendant does not reply to the call, the equipment can by no means be started. The chief attendant shall
82

Zambia Maamba 2150MW Fuel Operation and Maintenance Manual

always concern about safety production.


3.4.6.2.2 Carefully check and test faulty audios, CRT screen indicators, and alarm windows, and contact
maintainers immediately if any exception is found.
3.4.6.2.3 Select the correct process based on the running mode that the shift leader sets.
3.4.6.2.4 If there is any problem or you want to use other running mode, report to the shift leader and notify
the local attendant to recheck the system.
3.4.6.2.5 Set tail bunkers based on the running condition of the boiler pulverizing system.
3.4.7 Precautions for Programmable Operation and Monitoring
3.4.7.1 Precautions
3.4.7.1.1 Before the system is started, notify the local attendant for overall inspection and verification of
baffle position. Do not start the equipment until the local attendant calls back.
3.4.7.1.2 When the equipment is started, the normal current shall be restored in 5 seconds, and no-load
current for each device shall be in the normal range. Otherwise, stop and check the equipment.
3.4.7.1.3 When the system is started, do not start the next belt until the upper belt is started normally.
3.4.7.1.4 Do not start the equipment frequently. You can start the equipment twice continuously only at cold
state.
3.4.7.1.5 If the current of the running equipment rise abruptly or drop to zero, stop the equipment
immediately.
3.4.7.1.6 Closely watch the current of equipment, coal level in bunkers, system alarms, and display of alarm
windows, control feed amount of coal, and control the system output to 400t/h.
3.4.7.1.7 For monitoring, notice whether indicators of equipment on the CRT are normal, and whether preset
drop positions of coal plows meet the requirements of prioritized coal blending and sequential coal blending.
Concentrate and be smart. In case of any exceptions found, operate precisely. Do not chat or do anything
irrelevant to the work.
3.4.7.1.8 Do not test indicators or do other test during the running, and do not touch any buttons related to the
running.
3.4.7.2 Monitoring for running
When the system is running, closely monitor the ampere meters and signals of each power device, and handle
any exception immediately with correct judgment and method:
3.4.7.2.1 If the current or load of the system increases, notify the coal source attendant to adjust the feed
amount. The chief attendant shall be liable for the abnormal sound generated due to overload.
3.4.7.2.2 If a belt conveyor has a large current fluctuation while other belt conveyors work properly, the
possible cause is that the belt of the conveyor is stuck, deviated, or broken, the end support roller falls off, or the
tension device and driving device fail. In these cases, immediately stop the equipment and all other devices to the
coal source, and notify the local attendant to check for the problem.
3.4.7.2.3 If a crusher sees abnormally changing or abruptly fluctuating current, the possible cause is
overload, coal jam, getting stuck by foreign articles, hammer ring damage to lose weight balance, motor failure,
bearing or bearing pedestal fault, or crushing malfunction caused by foreign articles. In these cases, immediately
open the bypass door of the roller screen and disable the interlocking mechanism. Stop the equipment and report
to the shift leader.
3.4.7.2.4 If the upper conveyor sees a gradually decreasing current while the next conveyor sees a gradually
increasing current, the possible cause is coal jam. In this case, stop the equipment and all devices to the coal
83

Zambia Maamba 2150MW Fuel Operation and Maintenance Manual

source immediately.
3.4.7.2.5 If the current suddenly drops below the normal no-load value, the belt may be broken or the coupler
is damaged. In this case, immediately stop the equipment and all devices to the coal source.
3.4.7.2.6 If the current suddenly drops to zero, there may be a local shutdown or appliance failure. In this
case, stop the equipment and all devices to the coal source.
3.4.7.2.7 When the "sequential blending" mode is used, notice the coal levels and avoid coal overflow.
3.4.7.2.8 When the signal of baffle position changes, the interlocking mechanism shall not actuate.
3.4.7.2.9 If the belt iron separator loses power, notify the local attendant to check the problem.
