In early 19th Century boiler were low pressure Invention of water tube removed the pr barrier
and boiler pr rise to super critical Between 70- 90 utility operated conservatively
and used low steam pr in boiler . Now renewed interest in high efficiency
supercritical boiler .The interest arose from the environmental need to attain higher efficiency and dividend of higher eff is reduce CO2

Rankine Cycle
•1 to 2: Isentropic expansion (Steam turbine) •2 to 3: Isobaric heat rejection (Condenser) •3 to 4: Isentropic compression (Pump) •4 to 1: Isobaric heat supply (Boiler)
Rankine cycle is a heat engine with vapor power cycle. The common working fluid is water. The cycle consists of four processes:

Drum The boiler drum forms a part of the
circulation system of the boiler. The drum serves two functions, the first and primary one being that of separating steam from the mixture of water and steam discharged into it. Secondly, the drum houses all equipments used for purification of steam after being separated from water. This purification equipment is commonly referred to as the Drum Internals.

Superheater & Reheater Heat associated with the flue gas is used in
superheaters & Reheater, LTSH, economiser. Maximum steam temperature is decided by
the operating drum pressure and metallurgical constraints of the turbine blade material.
Reheating is recommened at pressure above 100 ksc operating pressure. Reheating is done at 20-25% of the operating pressure.

Steam Theory
Within the boiler, fuel and air are forced into the furnace by the burner.
There, it burns to produce heat. From there, the heat (flue gases)
travel throughout the boiler. The water absorbs the heat, and
eventually absorb enough to change into a gaseous state - steam.
To the left is the basic theoretical design of a modern boiler.
Boiler makers have developed various designs to squeeze the most energy out of fuel and to maximized its transfer to the water.

Why Steam is so popular as heat conveying media in industry?
Highest specific heat and latent heat
Highest heat transfer coefficient
Easy to control and distribute
Cheap and inert

Properties of Steam Liquid Enthalpy
Liquid enthalpy is the "Enthalpy" (heat energy) in the water when it has been raised to its boiling point is measured in kcal/kg, its symbol is hf
Also known as "Sensible Heat” Enthalpy of Evaporation
It is the heat energy to be added to the water in order to change it into steam.
There is no change in temperature, the steam produced is at the same temperature as the water from which it is produced.
Also known as latent heat and its symbol is hfg
![Page 38: BOILERS FUNDAMENTALS/COMBUSTION AJAY SHUKLA DGM NTPC PMI 23rd March,10](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649d835503460f94a69370/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The temperature at which water boils, also called as boiling point or saturation temperature (It increases as the pressure increases. )
As the steam pressure increases, the usable heat energy in the steam (enthalpy of evaporation), which is given up when the steam condenses, actually decreases.
The total heat of dry saturated steam or enthalpy of saturated steam is given by sum of the two enthalpies
hf +hfg When the steam contains moisture the total
heat of steam will be hg = hf +q hfg where q is the dryness fraction.

Superheated Steam Superheat is the addition of heat to
dry saturated steam without increase in pressure.
Degree of Superheat The temperature of superheated
steam, expressed as degrees above saturation corresponding to that pressure.

Engineering Function Selection of Unit Size
Based on load demand, coal and water availability. Input from Feasibility Report
Selection of Steam Parameters Choice of steam parameters is governed by overall cost of the plant. Sub-critical boilers are more suited in places where fuel cost is low.
Both drum type and once through boilers are acceptable based on manufacturer’s experience.
Super-critical boilers are costly because of greater use of high temperature material in boiler pressure parts.
Selection of Firing System Firing systems are generally left to manufacturer’s discretion as each
manufacturer prefers his standard design.

Wall FiredBurners are arranged in rows over many elevation on front and rear walls. Mill to burner
distribution optimized for stable combustion at low loads. Each burner flame independent with
individual Sec. Air control.
Downshot FiredBurners are arranged to fire
downwards in rows over many elevation on front and rear walls. Better suited to low
volatile coals as it gives a high furnace residence time.

CLASSIFICATION OF BOILER
Based on Bottom Ash
Wet BottomBottom Ash collected in slag form. Mostly used
for low ash coals with low fusion temperatures.
Dry BottomBottom ash is cooled in
water in the hopper before removal in the
clinker form. Suited for Indian coals with high
ash content.

Combustion
•Burning of fuel (chemical reaction)
•Rapid combination of o2 with fuel, resulting in the release of heat
•For fuel to burn ,the following conditions must be present
• The fuel must be gasified
•The oxygen and fuel mixture should be proper.
•Temp should be above ignition

Arrangement of fuel input in furnace
Coal is pulverized in mills at a fineness of 70% thru 200 mesh. Dried powdered coal is conveyed to furnace (at a temperature < 95-100oC)
Total coal flow is distributed among running mills and fed thru coal burners at 20-25 m/sec.
Coal flow is arranged in tiers. Maximum heat release rate must not exceed plain area heat loading. It generates excessive NOx and making ash fused.
![Page 68: BOILERS FUNDAMENTALS/COMBUSTION AJAY SHUKLA DGM NTPC PMI 23rd March,10](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649d835503460f94a69370/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Combustion air arrangement in furnace
Fuel air is supplied around coal nozzles (at velocity of 30-35 m/sec).
Secondary air is supplied in adjacent tiers of sec. air dampers from wind box (Hot air from Secondary APH)
Overfire/ Tempering air is supplied at the top of the burnaer zone for NOx control.
Gas recirculation is adopted for steam temperature control in oil/ gas fired units.
Furnace draft is maintained at -5 mmwcl with Forced and Induced draft fans (balanced draft)

Advantages Its ability to burn all ranks of coal from
anthracitic to lignitic, and it permits combination firing (i.e., can use coal, oil and gas in same burner). Because of these advantages, there is widespread use of pulverized coal furnaces.
Disadvantages High power demand for pulverizing Requires more maintenance, flyash
erosion and pollution complicate unit operation
Pulverized Fuel Boiler (Contd..)
