provide for simple adjustments between feeders for equal fuel
delivery and also for single feeder biasing.
b.
Line Shaft Feeder: The feeders driven by a line shaft shall be
driven through a variable speed drive having a ratio of not less
than three to one. Feeder drive shall be so arranged that each
feeder is independently driven from a lineshaft so that any feeder
can be engaged or disengaged without disturbing the operation of
the remaining feeders. Fuel delivery shall be governed by the
c.
For either stoker drive system, provide a complete operating unit
with necessary shafting, couplings, bearings, drives with guards,
linkages, rods, and other equipment, as required or necessary for
any interconnecting of the stoker units and drives. This
equipment shall be provided even though it is not specifically
mentioned.
Provide safety release to prevent damage to the units
due to foreign materials in the coal or other causes of overload.
d.
Distributor: The distributor shall be driven by a variable speed
electric drive which is manually adjusted to achieve optimum
distribution.
2.4.2.5
Stoker Grate Drive
Drive the grate the stoker by [hydraulic package] [electrical motor] [a
steam turbine] through a variable speed device with a speed ratio of at
least six to one, with the speed changing device, controlled automatically
by the combustion control system. Provide a manual adjustment to regulate
grate speed ratio to fuel feed in order to compensate for variations in the
ash content. Provide a suitable safety release device to prevent damage to
the drive or grates due to foreign material or other obstruction
interfering with the grate operation.
