The combustion method of the boiler equipment is also a factor that the majority of users will consider when selecting the boiler. Depending on the combustion method, the boiler structure and boiler room layout will be different.
The chain grate is the combustion equipment of coal-fired steam boiler. There are three main types and structures: chain belt grate, scale grate and beam grate.
The flue gas first enters the cyclone dust collector which acts as a primary dust collector to make the large dust particles in the flue gas settle down. The cyclone dust collector is a dust removal device which uses the centrifugal force generated by the cyclone flow to separate the dust particles from the air flow. Afterwards, the flue gas enters the wet scrubber dust collector which is a circular-type cylinder. The circulating water enters the dust collector from the upper overflow tank to form a uniform water film on the inner wall of the dust collector. The flue gas is induced tangentially or spirally from the lower part of the cylinder and rotates in the cylinder. Under the influence of the centrifugal force, the dust particles are separated from the flue gas and then the flue gas is also spirally led out from the top of the cylinder. The dust particles are thrown to the water film, transferred to the bottom and finally discharged from the dust port.
The coal-fired boiler has low fuel costs and high calorific value, which is a kind of important auxiliary heating equipment in the production-oriented enterprises. However, the coking on the furnace wall is common in the operation of the coal-fired boiler.
The fuel is necessary for the boiler operation. The fuel choice can also affect the overall boiler operating efficiency and the pollution emission of the boiler. What are the differences between the oil-fired boiler and coal-fired boiler?
