Condition Assessment
Condition Assessment is the implementation of specific activities focused on determining the present state of a component.
– Engineering calculations– Nondestructive testing– Metallurgical evaluations– Engineering experience
ALSTOM's approach to Plant Condition Assessment involves the application of three steps to achieve the desired goals.
– Pre-outage reviews– Outage activities– Post-outage evaluation

LIMELIGHT™ HEIR Electric Ignitor
High Energy Ignitor with RetractEnergy output 12 joulesDirect lightoff of #2 or #6 fuel oilEliminates the need for higher cost gas or #2 oil ignitors for #6 oil burnersSpark rate - light oil - 4 sparks/sec Spark rate - heavy oil - 20 sparks/sec
Shown with EVERKOOLTM Oil Gun
80
Electric Ignitor for Main Burner
Easier access, less congestionFewer moving parts and controls
81
BenefitsImproves Reliability– Increase spark intensity and frequency– 12 joule energy pulse is more intense than previous models– Released at rate of 4 sparks per second or 20 sparks per second – More power per unit of time improves reliability of ignition– Power in the right place at the right time (fuel, air, heat)
Reduced Maintenance– Self-cleaning tip resists fouling from unburned fuel and
combustion products - eliminating the need to frequently take the ignitor apart for cleaning
– Solid semi-conductor spark generator improves life vs. older style semi-conductor coating
High Energy Ignitor (HEI)
