The efficiency of a coal-fired boiler depends on the loss of the boiler, the best efficiency in the boiler can be achieved if the losses are kept to the minimum. Since 50% of the losses are dependent on the fuel and ambient condition, the best efficiency can be achieved by properly tuning the other 50%, i.e. mainly carbon loss and dry gas loss.
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?
The food processing needs the steam or hot water to assist the production and improve the efficiency. Usually, the food plant needs the small tonnage boiler, so the coal-fired boiler is not recommended.
Coal-fired boilers are applied in various industries for the industrial and civil uses to generate steam and hot water. The steam is mainly used for production and the hot water is mainly used for heating and daily use.
The slugging for the circulating fluidized bed boiler means that the bubbles in the feed layer converge and grow. When the diameter of the bubbles grows close to the cross section of the bed, the feed layer is divided into several sections to be particle layers with intervals of bubble sections. The particle layers are pushed by bubbles to move upwards to a certain height and then they burst into a large number of small particles that are thrown out of the bed and carried away by bubbles, while the large particles fall down like rain.
