What are factors affecting the coal-fired boiler efficiency?
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.
Factors affecting carbon loss
Coal rank and quality
Coal petrographic characteristics
Characteristics and quantum of carbonaceous shale
Presence of low melting inorganics in coal ash
Residence time available for combustion in furnace
Type and number of burners
Type of milling system and primary air control system
Fineness of pulverised coal - percentage of coarser particles
Primary air to secondary air ratios
Excess air at the burner/furnace and distribution of air into the burner/furnace
Burner tilt (if provided)
The factors having the greatest influence on carbon loss are the boiler type, volatile matter content in the coal, furnace heat loading (heat input/furnace volume), mass fraction of pulverised coal smaller than 75 mm and excess air
Factors affecting dry gas loss
Keep an optimal excess air level, generally about 20% in a coal fired boiler
Tune combustion of coal to the optimal condition
Understand the coal being fired
Proper distribution of combustion air at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels
Keep the required fineness of coal about 75% through 200 mesh and less than 2% on 50 mesh sieve
Keep the maximum mill outlet temperature to reduce air bypassing air pre-heater
Soot blowing the entire heat transfer surface at an optimal frequency
Minimize the air in leakage to the boiler
Dry gas loss is also influenced by the economizer feed water inlet temperature and the ambient air temperature, which change the heat recovery pattern of economizer & air-pre-heater
