REPLACEMENT OF PRIMARY AIR HEATERProblem before repair: With
single PA fan only one mill could be taken Problem identified and
rectified: Total tubular air-preheater replaced.
EFFECTS after repairs: With single PA fan-3 mills are being
taken Air temperature to bowl mills increased from 65O c to 80O

ID FAN IMPELLER MODIFICATIONProblem before modification: ID fans
were getting loaded up to 75 amps only. Furnace draft was going to
positive when more than 1, 00,000 BFG is taken.
Modifications carried out: 2 nos. of spare ID fan impeller outer
diameter increased by 250 mm in UERS. Vane length also increased
correspondingly in URES. With the one spare shafts available both
the modified impellers are balanced at CMS.
Work done at site: ID fans rotor was taken out. Its cones were
removed. Fitted in new shaft with modified impellers and assemble.
Rotor was assembled with shaft taken out from ID-A. Cones from ID-B
and modified impeller. Both the ID fans discharge expansion bellow
were repaired.
