What is pf fired boiler?

For getting better efficiency from boiler, coal is pulverized in mills (powder form) before entering into boiler along with hot air. This is done in order to control damage to boiler tubes and plates due to high (but cheap) sulphur content in coal. These types of boiler are usually called super critical boiler and works on high pressure (3600psi) and temperature (610 degree C) unlike sub critical boilers. alok bh.


What is the advantage of afbc boiler over pf boiler?

afbc has high turn down ratio,burner arrangement is simple,low grade coal can be burnt efficiently,so2 emission can be controlled,


What causes clinker formation in boiler?

Clinkers, also known as slag, consist of the noncombustible elements and minerals found in coal that melt and fuse together as lumpy ashes from coal combustion. Boiler operators consider clinkers to be miserable stuff


What is a tangentially fired boiler?

A tangentially fired boiler has between 4 and 8 burners, placed in the corners of the boiler. These are sometimes angled vertically to maximize impingement of the flames. They are fired into the center of the boiler, not directly into the center, but at the wall to adjacent to them. This causes the flames to swirl inside of the boiler, causing an even distribution of flame throughout the boiler. This is shown pretty well here: http://www.alstom.com/power/coal-oil/utility-boilers/firing-systems This website also has a lot more detail than previously provided.


What is the difference in Boiler efficiency between CFBC Boiler and PF Boiler while firing powdery coal -50 percent less than 5 mm size?

Cfbc stands for circulating fludised bed combustion where as afbc is for atmospheric fluidise bed combustion afbc bed fluidising velocity is approx 4 m/s and in cfbc boiler fluidising velocity is 9-10 m/s. cfbc having low SOx & NOx comparative with afbc cfbc having higher efficiency up to 98.5 % then afbc boiler,cfbc boiler power consumption is more comparative to afbc.
