The coal-fired steam boiler is a forced circulation high-pressure single-tube DC boiler. Its operation process includes three processes: the combustion process of the fuel, the heat transfer process of flue gas to water and the vaporization process after water absorbs heat. In order to better control these different processes, the control system should make
the heat of pulverized coal combustion adapt to the requirements of steam load changes and dryness.
In the work of transforming a coal-fired boiler into a gas-fired boiler, the principle of changing the original boiler should be reduced without changing the pressure component of the boiler body. The transformation process should focus on the choice of gas burners, the determination of the number of burners, the layout of the burners, the matching design of the furnace layout, and the selection of explosion-proof measures. Step by step, both economic benefits and practicality should be considered.
The coal-fired boiler refers to the boiler uses various types of coal as fuel and converts the heat of coal to steam or hot water.
There are generally two calculation methods of the circulating water volume of a coal-fired hot water boiler. One is to calculate the hourly water volume of one square meter and the other is to calculate the design parameter volume of every ton. As for the make-up water volume of this type of boiler, it is usually calculated as 1% to 3% of its total circulating water.
The proximate analysis of coal is to dry, heat and burn coal samples as required to get the percentage of moisture, volatiles, fixed carbon and ash in the coal and learn about the characteristics of coal combustion.
Coal-fired boilers refer to boilers that use various kinds of coals as fuel and convert the heat value of coals to steam or hot water.
Some specific parameters should be provided to calculate the theoretical coal consumption of a set of 20 tph coal-fired boiler. If the rated steam pressure is 1 MPa, the heat value of coal is 7000 kcal / kg, the boiler inlet water temperature is 20 ° C, and the boiler thermal efficiency is 80%, the daily coal consumption is 50-56 tons.
Volatile matter in coal refers to the components of coal, except for moisture, which are liberated at high temperature in the absence of air. This is usually a mixture of short- and long-chain hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and some sulfur. Volatile matter also evaluate the adsorption application of an activated carbon. The volatile matter of coal is determined under rigidly controlled standards. In Australian and British laboratories this involves heating the coal sample to 900 ± 5 °C (1650 ±10 °F) for 7 min. Also as the rank of coal increases the volatile matter decreases (AMK).
The fineness of pulverized coal is an important indicator to measure the pulverized coal quality.
In terms of combustion, the particle size of pulverized coal is expected to be as small as possible to facilitate the ignition and combustion, reduce the heat loss of incomplete combustion, the amount of air supply and heat loss of exhaust smoke.
In terms of pulverized coal milling, the particle size of pulverized coal is expected to be as coarse as possible to reduce the power consumption and steel consumption. Therefore, when selecting the fineness of pulverized coal, a compromise of the two aspects is taken as the economic fineness.
It shall be determined through combustion adjustment tests according to the fuel properties and the type of pulverizing equipment.
Compared with the price of a traditional coal-fired boiler, the operation cost of a gas-fired boiler is relatively high. So, users need to consider the price and quality before purchasing a boiler. For a gas-fired boiler, the energy-saving performance is more important than the boiler price. One year is enough for a gas-fired boiler with good energy-saving performance to save the extra costs of the boiler proper. And, the gas consumption is an important indicator to measure the energy-saving performance of a boiler.
