LOWER TRAY INSPECTION POINT | TOWER INTERNALS

INTERMEDIATE TRAY INSPECTION POINTS | TOWER INTERNALS

TRAY PANEL INSTALLATION

Procedure

Hold points

– Preparation
Remove Catapac from platform, Trolley A & B. All panels must be clean, dry, free of rust. All nozzles covered with plastic cap and
adhesive tape. Splash plate in place installed at ground. Blank off
sample points and equilibrium device nozzle with blind flange and new gaskets.
Dry air in service
Panel conditions at ground
Panel nozzle covers
Gasket type
– Cleanliness
During panel installation, avoid any sieve surface disturbing and ensure
there is no foreign material falling down into the sieve bed.
Remove tape/cap covering threaded holes just before panel positioning. Leave the piece of rope until stud bolt screwing.
Upper face of beams
Upper face of support rings
Upper face of annular chambers
hreaded holes (main beams and
secondary beams)
– Panel lower screen
Before positioning, each panel lower screen must be inspected carefully
with a flash light ( damages done during handling)
– Flatness and stability of panels
Check the good contact between panels, beams and support rings.
If there is any rocking, insert and tack weld shim plate on outside edge
f the frame.
Panel 1A to 8B
– Gap between panels
Install spacers for positioning and maintain the position with clamps.
Gap between panels must be 15
mm max.
– Gap between panels and shell
Maintain a minimum gap on shell side for the rope.
Gap between panels and shell must be 10 mm min.

TRAY PANEL FIXING

Procedure

Hold points

– Preparation
Once all panels are properly installed, clear one by one the tap hole for stud bolt. Clean the tap hole blowing dry air.
Panel positioning especially
around bolting slots.
Cleanness of tap holes
Cleanness of stud bolt/ nuts
– Stud bolt screwing
Once a tap hole is clear and inspected, start screwing stud bolts. In the
event that bolting is not possible, check the cleanness or try another stud
bolt.
Stud bolt must be entirely screwed up (tips should not be higher than
frame upper edges to allow seal plate welding).
Stud bolt height within frame
– Bolting
Install washer and bolt the nut maintaining the bolt from its tip. Tackweld
bolt and nut.
Bolt tightening
New washers to be used

ROPE PACKING

Procedure

Hold points

– Rope packing :
Rope packing must be done following the attached procedure.
Wrapping & condition (clean and dry)
& type & diameter
Quality of Rope cutting ( cut clean
through)
No free space
– Rope packing between panels
The first row must be packed carefully against the rope arrestor in order to prevent the rope going through it.
Last row of rope must be flush to
upper edge of panel frame.
Gap after rope packing :
15 mm Max
– Rope packing between panels and center pipe
Install 1 row of rope to compensate the height of rope arrestor.
If clearance between center pipe and panels is larger than 15 mm,
then install 30 mm and 8 mm diameter ropes if necessary.
If clearance smaller than 8 mm, then install 8 mm diameter rope.
Rope packing between center pipe
and new angle plates
– Rope packing between panels and shell
Install I row of rope to compensate the height of rope arrestor.
If clearance between shell and panels is larger than 15 mm, then install 30
mm and 8 mm diameter ropes if necessary.
If clearance smaller than 8 mm, then install 8 mm diameter rope.
Complete the rope filling up to the top of panel frames.
Last row of rope must be
properly
Inserted.
– Rope packing around stud bolt
Fill all space around stud bolt
Packing all around stud
bolts.
