Six months ago, there was a fault in our boiler. There was a failure in the Fuel Control Valve. The Valve opened 100% when the boiler load was maximum (Usually when the boiler load is maximum, the valve is open 40%). Suddenly the drum pressure increased. Drum level became very low. We opened the solenoid operated safety valve to reduce main steam pressure. MFT was avoided.
Our questions are:
1. Was our action (open the SV) correct?
2. Could you explain why when the fuel control valve opened 100%, the drum pressure increased and the drum level decreased?
Thanks a lot.
