A2.1. ELEMENTS
The element is that part of the rotary soot blower equipment that distributes the blowing medium
inside the boiler for the purpose of cleaning the tubes. Elements are specially prepared tubes
containing nozzles for the distribution of steam. Refer to Figure 1.2, Section H.1.
Each Clyde Bergemann soot blower element is engineered and tailored for its specific job based
on the type of boiler on which it is to be installed, the temperatures it must withstand, the
pressures used for blowing, and the job of cleaning that must be performed.
Elements are made on 1-1/2” or 2” pipe. Some elements are provided with couplings for ease of
installation. Couplings eliminate the need to remove the heavy element for the purpose of cutting
to proper length. When couplings are used, it is necessary only to cut the piece from the coupling
to the soot blower head. The coupling is placed inside the wall away from the high temperature.
Most elements are furnished in one piece; however, they can be made in two or more sections,
with couplings or with welded ends.
a. HYVULOY
This chrome alloy affords high heat resistance and retainment of its refined grain structure
and ductility for many years. It is also immune to chemical reaction to high-temperature
gases and is extremely resistant to permanent change in shape.
Hyvuloy elements are suitable for use in flue gas temperatures up to 1800˚ F.
b. HR-160
This alloy is for use with sustained flue gas temperatures up to 2000˚ F and in highly
corrosive atmospheres.
c. VULCROM
Made of heavy steel pipe protected by a surface coating of chromium, this material may
be used in temperatures ranging from 900˚ F to 1500˚ F.
d. PLAIN STEEL
Plain steel elements may be used in low temperature applications where flow gas
temperatures do not exceed 900˚ F.

e. COMPOSITE
When a single element passes through zones of different temperatures, a continuous
element made up of sections of different materials, with the correct material used in each
zone, may be employed.
The sections of composite elements may be welded or connected with couplings.
Each element has a single or multiple row of accurately machined nozzles welded
securely in place, making a permanently fused, one-piece construction.
The size and location of the element nozzles depend on the spacing of the tubes and the
cleaning to be done. The nozzles may be directed to blow perpendicular to the element or
at any angle, depending upon the tube arrangement.
There are two basic nozzle designs, which can be considered for a given application:
straight bore and venturi.
Straight bore nozzles are employed in densely packed tube banks where deposits are
easily removed. This low energy nozzle provides cleaning by producing localized
turbulence, which excites particulate and causes them to be dislodged.
Venturi nozzles are used when tube lanes permit deeper penetration. This high-energy
nozzle provides a greater depth of cleaning.
a. WELDED BEARINGS
The most commonly used bearings, shown in Figure 1.3, Section H.1, are welded. These
bearings are made of plain steel or Hyvuloy. Weld rod of material compatible with the
boiler tube material must be used when installing these bearings.
Crown bearings with straps, shown in Figure 1.4 Section H.1, may be used as an
alternative to welded bearings.

COMMISSIONING, OPERATION & 22 April 2007 Revision Number Preliminary
MAINTENANCE MANUAL Document I.D. D5EMKII.A2.0
b. CROWN BEARINGS
Crown bearings may be used where tube spacing or other interference preclude the use
of welded bearings. Made of Hyvuloy or steel, these bearings consist of one bearing, two
clamps, four washers, four bolts and four nuts. Washers are welded to the clamp for ease
of installation. The clamps are effective in maintaining correct bearing position.
c. DISTAL END BEARINGS
The distal end bearing is used to support the distal, or plugged, end of the element. This
type of bearing is most often used on elements spanning short distances where no
intermediate support is required. Distal end bearings are usually welded to the boiler
casing.
NOTE: If exact duplicate bearings are required for maintenance, repair, or replacement, the
position at which the bearings are used and the Clyde Bergemann job number (found on
all application drawings) must be supplied to Clyde Bergemann.
casing plate. Generally, 1/2” welds spaced 1” apart on all four sides (or all around the
tube) are sufficient. A continuous weld should be made on all four sides on positive-fired
units.
NOTE: If it is necessary that the blower be installed at an intermediate angle, the entire
sleeve must be positioned at this angle. The position of the blower is shown on the
application drawing.
B3. ELEMENT
After the sleeve is properly installed and the element bearings are in place as shown on the
application drawings, the element should be installed.
Insert the element through the sleeve and bearings. Be sure the element nozzles are in correct
relation to the boiler tubes, as shown on the application drawings. Unless specified otherwise on
the application drawings, the nozzles are centered in the boiler tube spaces.
Place the element in the correct position in the boiler, paying particular attention to the alignment
of the nozzles with the spaces between the boiler tubes. The element end will extend through the
sleeve.
The element must be secured to the gear and extensions assembly of the blower. The
application drawings show the location of the end of the element in relation to the boiler wall. The
end of the element that extends through the sleeve must be cut to length so that, when secured, it
will be the proper location and all nozzles will be properly aligned with the tube spaces. Thread
this end as required. (Refer to the application drawings.)
If the letters “R” (right) and “L” (left) appear on the element, the element must be installed
accordingly. If the element is not marked, installation can be made from either side, whichever is
the most convenient. (An installation is a right-hand installation, if, when standing in front of and
facing the boiler, the operating head and piping are on your right side. If the operating head and
piping are on your left side, the installation is a left-hand installation.)
When the alleyway or aisle space is available, the elements can be inserted directly through the
holes that have been cut in the brickwork or casing. When the boilers are closely set or
positioned close to any other obstruction, couplings should be provided to install the element in
sections. This situation should have been considered in the design of the element.
To connect the element to the blower on a non-pressurized, balance draft unit, place the seal
plate over the end of the element as shown on the application drawings. Place the sleeve cap
spring against the seal plate. Connect the element securely to the element flange, which is
fastened to the soot blower head.
Check all dimensions to be sure the element is correctly positioned and the nozzles are properly
aligned with the tube spaces.

Pressurized boilers have a different type wall sleeve. (See Figure 2.1, Section H.1.) A stuffing
box and packing are supplied to seal around the element. Care must be taken at assembly to
center and align this stuffing box to prevent binding the element. After installing the stuffing box,
check the position of the element. Couple and secure the element to the blower.
NOTE: The element flange and nipple connection must be steam tight and the set screws
secured. If the element turns in the flange, the blowing arc will be altered and tubes, drums or
baffles endangered by blowing medium impingement.
NOTE: The nozzle position is punch marked or scribed on the element, nipple, and element
flange so the location of the nozzles can be quickly determined from outside the boiler. This mark
may be used for periodic inspection or correction of the blowing sweep and facilitates adjustment.
B5. PIPING
When the piping is erected, great care should be taken to make up the head inlet flange joint
properly. The sootblower head should not support the piping. Proper pipe supports and guides
should be used to prevent piping strain. Refer to the application drawing for allowable forces and
moments for the rotary soot blower.
The piping should be sloped to drain, with sufficient expansion loops to absorb the thermal
expansions expected. Improperly drained piping could cause water hammer during opening of
the soot blower valve, which would lead to soot blower valve or element damage or premature
tube failures.
Make up the companion flange and pipe to align with the mating flange. When the companion
flange is attached to the pipe correctly and the gasket installed, the flanges should match
properly. There should be no strain when securing the flanges. Unless the piping is “cold-
sprung” in the off-line condition to accommodate anticipated expansion when the unit is on line,
the companion flange should not spring apart or to either side when studs and nuts are removed,
nor should the pipe push the head in any direction.

Test-Operate each blower before putting it into service. The points listed below should be among the
items/functions checked. The procedures in this section assume the boiler is not on line.
CAUTION!
IF IT IS DESIRED TO REVERSE THE ESTABLISHED ROTATION OF THE SOOT BLOWER
ELEMENT, CONSULT THE CLYDE BERGEMANN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT
FOR INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID DAMAGING THE BLOWER.
If the pressure is less than the recommended setting, rotate the hex valve stem cap
counterclockwise until the recommended setting is obtained.
f. Let the blower complete its cycle.
g. Ensure a minimum clearance of 1/16” between the stroke adjustment screw and the valve
stem cap so the valve is capable of seating.
h. Replace the pressure gauge with the original 3/8” pipe plug, first making certain that
the blower will not operate during replacement and that the valve is properly seated
(see previous step).
d. Operate the soot blowers in the numerical sequence shown on the soot blower application
drawing.
e. Continue the blowing cycle by operating each blower in turn.
f. When the entire blowing cycle has been completed, close the main soot blowing medium
supply valve tightly. Open the thermal drain valves.
g. If the furnace draft has been increased for blowing, return it to normal.
E. TROUBLESHOOTING
F2.5 Annually
Inspection and maintenance should be an on-going program. Soot blower bearings and
elements are continuously subjected to high gas temperature; therefore, proper installation
and maintenance are necessary to keep this equipment as trouble-free as possible.
Prior to a boiler shutdown, review existing records and make a complete, current inspection.
Schedule any maintenance that is required, including annual re-lubrication of gearboxes.
In addition to the normal inspection, also:

a. Check that the element and bearings are in good condition and are properly
aligned so the element rotates freely.
b. Check the nozzle locations to see that they register properly in the tube spaces.
Incorrect locations of the nozzles, brought about by wall movement, etc. may
cause the jets of steam or air to be misdirected, with the possibility of tube cutting
or baffle damage.
c. Check the element nozzles to make sure they remain round and are not elongated
by erosion by the blowing medium.
d. Check all element bearings to see that they are In place and in good condition.
e. Make sure the element end plugs are in place and not blown out or damaged by
slugs of condensate.
F3. LUBRICATON
(Refer to F2-Lubrication Chart)
F3.1 Drive Gears
Clean and lubricate the drive gears and all other external moving parts monthly with a
good grade of motor oil.
F4. CLEANLINESS
To assure long life and good performance of soot blowers, the outer surface should be cleaned of
dirt and rust periodically. If allowed to accumulate, dirt and rust will enter the operating
mechanism, causing excessive wear of moving parts and possibly preventing proper operation.
F5. PACKING
Keep glands just tight enough to prevent leakage; do not over tighten them. Replace packing that
leaks excessively.
Refer to Section G - Repairs for instructions on replacing packing.

MANUAL
AND
Purpose: To provide requirements and cleaning procedures for steam blowing/cleaning of steam
supply lines that service sootblower systems.
Scope: This document covers the requirements needed to test, clean, and preserve a steam
system that will supply a sootblower system.
Test #1:
A hydro test may be performed to check for leakage of the new piping system. Prior to this type of test
being performed, the system should have the following checks done:
a. Plant safety procedures should be in place to barricade the area of the system that is being tested.
b. All safety relief valves should be gagged to prevent lift off during the test.
c. All control valves removed and straight spool of pipe installed.
d. All in-line valves fully opened.
e. A blind flange or pancake plate should be installed at each sootblower connection point.
f. Any in-line instruments, such as orifice plates should be removed to prevent damage.
g. All of the hangers should be checked to ensure proper support of the system that is to be tested.
Once all these tasks have been performed all of the air should be expelled from the system. No insulation
can be installed on any pipe joints, prior to hydro testing. The hydro test is usually performed at a minimum
of 1 ½ times the design pressure of the system. The length of the test is based on the time required to walk
the system down to visually inspect and mark any leakage points. Should leaks be detected, the system
should be drained, leaks repaired and the system re-tested. Once no leaks are located/detected, the
system should be safely drained. The piping system could be insulated after a successful hydro test has
been performed and signed off.
Test #2:
A steam blowing test is performed to clean the inside of the piping system of any foreign material.
Blowing through the sootblower and poppet valve is not permitted. It can cause severe damage to the
sootblower. Prior to the steam blowing test, the following tasks should occur:
a. The steam should be superheated to assist in removing internal scale for the piping system.
b. All safety relief valves should be operational.
c. All spring hanger shipping pins and/or locking devices shall be removed.
d. All spring hangers should be checked to make certain the hangers are set to the cold setting.

INSTALLATION, Blowdown (Piping) Recommendation
COMMISSIONING, OPERATION & 27 September 2010 Revision Number Preliminary
MAINTENANCE MANUAL Document I.D. D5EMKII.Add.A1.0
The steam blowing cycle should start with the branch line that is the highest in the system and the
longest distance from the main supply header. Several blows will be required to adequately remove the
foreign material from the supply line. During the blowing cycle, it is preferred the internal temperature of
the line reach a minimum of 400F. If the client requires, a 1” polished target could be inserted in the
temporary spool piece of pipe to check for particle impingement. Once the branch line is cleaned, the
spool piece should be removed, either a blind flange should be installed or a pancake installed to isolate
and prevent damage to the poppet valve. The testing should continue until all branch lines have been
adequately cleaned. The low point trap station(s) should have the strainer basket removed and cleaned.
Should the sootblower steam system be required to sit dormant for several months, a nitrogen blanket of
approximately 5 lbs. should be placed on the system to minimize rust reforming on the inside of the
cleaned steam pipeline.
1. Remove any temporary installed blind flanges or pancake flanges and reattach the steam lines to the
sootblower poppet valves.
2. Remove any pipe spools or temporary pipe plugs and reinstall the control valves and in-line
instruments.
