What are the effects on the operation of a fluidized bed boiler if the coal feeding air flow rate to the coal feeder is too high or too low?

26 May 2023

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 bed temperature and pressure, potentially leading to unstable boiler operation.

 

2. Too low coal feeding air flow rate: if the air flow rate to the coal feeder is too low, it can cause the coal to be fed into the furnace too slowly, leading to incomplete combustion and reduced boiler efficiency. This can also cause the bed temperature to drop, which can lead to bed agglomeration and ultimately shutdown of the boiler.

 

3. Uneven coal feeding: if the coal feeding air flow rate is not properly balanced, it can result in uneven distribution of coal across the furnace, leading to hot spots and cold spots. This can cause fluctuations in the bed temperature and pressure, potentially leading to unstable boiler operation and reduced efficiency.

 

Therefore, it is important to maintain a proper coal feeding air flow rate to ensure proper combustion and stable operation of the fluidized bed boiler. The air flow rate should be adjusted based on the coal quality, boiler load, and other operational factors to achieveoptimal combustion and boiler performance. Regular monitoring and maintenance of the coal feeding system can also help to prevent issues and ensure safe and efficient operation of the fluidized bed boiler.
