The position of secondary air in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler plays a crucial role in ensuring proper combustion, reducing emissions, and optimizing fuel efficiency. Determining the appropriate position for secondary air injection requires understanding the fundamental principles of fluidized bed combustion and addressing specific requirements based on the design and operation of the particular boiler. Here's a guideline on how to determine the secondary air position:

Furnace drying, often also called "oven drying" or "boiler drying-out", is an essential step when commissioning a new circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler or after any maintenance that might have introduced moisture into the system. The purpose is to remove moisture, ensure the refractory and insulation materials are dry, and prepare the system for safe ignition and operation.
Here are the general steps involved in furnace drying for a circulating fluidized bed boiler:
Inspection: Be...
Volatile matter in fuel, particularly in solid fuels like coal or biomass, plays a crucial role in the combustion process within boilers. Understanding the effect of volatile matter can help optimize the boiler operation for better efficiency and emissions. Here are the impacts of volatile matter on boiler combustion:
Ignition and Combustion Stability: High volatile matter content aids in the easy ignition of the fuel. As volatile components release and ignite rapidly when the fuel is heated, t...
Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers are a type of combustion technology that is commonly used for power generation and industrial applications. The following are the characteristics and working principle of circulating fluidized bed boilers:
Characteristics:
High combustion efficiency: CFB boilers have high combustion efficiency due to the large surface area of the bed particles and the high turbulence created by the fluidizing air.
Fuel flexibility: CFB boilers ca...
If the coal feeding air flow rate to the coal feeder of a fluidized bed boiler is too high or too low, it can have several effects on the operation of the boiler:
1. Too high coal feeding air flow rate: if the air flow rate to the coal feeder is too high, it can cause the coal to be blown out of the feeder and into the furnace too quickly, which can result in incomplete combustion and high emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. This can also cause fluctuations in the be...
Proper shutdown procedures are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a coal-fired steam boiler. The following steps should be followed when shutting down a coal-fired steam boiler:
1. Reduce the load: Before shutting down the boiler, the load should be reduced to its minimum level. This will help to prevent sudden drops in pressure and temperature, which could cause damage to the boiler and its components.
2. Shut off the fuel supply: The fuel supply to the boiler should be ...
When it comes to coal fired boilers, the rear arch plays a critical role in the combustion process. The main function of the rear arch is to keep the fuel particles in suspension and prevent them from falling into the ash hopper, which can lead to incomplete combustion and decreased efficiency.
At ZOZEN, we understand the importance of a well-designed rear arch for coal fired boilers. That's why our coal fired boilers are equipped with advanced rear arch designs that enhance the combust...
As domestic environmental protection requirements become increasingly stringent and the conflict between coal combustion and environmental protection becomes more prominent, circulating fluidized bed boilers have become widely used high-efficiency, low-pollution boiler products. The factors that affect the operating load of circulating fluidized bed boilers are the key points for guiding users' daily management operations. Therefore, this article summarizes the factors that affect the operating ...
