The exhaust gas heat loss of coal-fired boiler is caused by the flue gas removed by final stage heat exchanger. The flue gas will take away a part of heat, mainly including the heat taken away by dry flue gas and the sensible heat with water vapor in the flue gas. What’s more, if the combustible gas in the coal-fired boiler is not completely burned, there will be heat loss as well. Therefore, this kind of heat loss mainly depends on the content of incomplete combustion products in the exhaust smoke.
There are many skill indicators involved in the operation of oil-fired boiler, some of which are variables. We must master the relationship between variables and working effect of oil-fired boiler to realize better regulation.
Influencing factors of slagging on heating surface of boiler
(1) Ash characteristics of pulverized coal
Generally, the softening temperature ST of ash is used as the main indicator of slag formation. Coal with low ash melting point (ST<1200℃) is easy to slag. In addition, the slagging index also includes: silicon ratio, alkali-acid ratio, slagging index, limit viscosity and so on.
（2）Aerodynamic characteristics in the furnace
Improper air flow organization leads to flame center deviation, and the pulverized coal air flow flame adheres to the wall, causing local slagging of the water-cooled wall;
Improper air flow organization, forming flue gas retention vortex area and forming a reducing atmosphere (with CO), reducing the ash melting point and increasing the possibility of slagging.
Excess air coefficient: When the excess air in the furnace is too small, a reducing atmosphere may be generated, and the tendency of slagging will increase accordingly.
（3）Influence of boiler heat lo
Here load means, amount of steam drawn from the boiler. So when the load increases, the specific volume of the steam in the boiler increases reducing the pressure. This inturn demands for more feed water and more amount of fuel to be burnt. So, for any boiler there will be a feed water level control system put in place to measure the water level in drum. As and when the level of water in the drum reduces, the controller sends a signal to the feed water pump to start and stops when the desired water level is reached. This way the steam generation continues to maintain the desired pressure.
Normally a boiler is provided with two independent sensors for emergency low water level burner cut-outs. So this would never happen. However, if it does, don't take any chances! Shut off the burners immediately!
Before you start raising the level in the boiler you have to find out if any part of the furnace walls has been overheated. If you raise the level over a glowing steel-wall then the boiler might produce more steam than the safety valves can handle and a nasty explosion would be the result.
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.
Generally, there is moisture in heat medium oil. And, the moisture will be evaporated during the heating process of the oil. If the water vapor is not discharged from the thermal oil heater, it will cause the fluctuation of heat medium oil pressure. However, the oil-gas separator can separate the water vapor from the heat medium oil and discharge it from the heater, which ensures the stable oil pressure.
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.
