Boiler Performance and Mill Outlet Temperature

The mill outlet temperature has a major impact on the boiler performance levels. The mill outlet temperature directly impacts the dry gas loss in boiler which is a major loss. This depends on the moisture level in coal, the higher the moisture level the quantity of hot air required in mill for the same mill load is higher.

Coal pulverizers may be classified by speed, as follows: • Low Speed• Medium Speed• High SpeedA ball mill is a pulverizer that consists of a horizontal rotating cylinder, up to three diameters in length, containing a charge of tumbling or cascading steel balls, pebbles, or rods. A tube mill is a revolving cylinder of up to five diameters in length used for fine pulverization of ore, rock, and other such materials; the material, mixed with water, is fed into the chamber from one end, and passes out the other end as a slurry. Both types of mill include liners that protect the cylindrical structure of the mill from wear. Thus the main wear parts in these mills are the balls themselves, and the liners. The balls are simply "consumed" by the wear process and must be re-stocked, whereas the liners must be periodically replaced. The ball and tube mills are low-speed machines that grind the coal with steel balls in a rotating horizontal cylinder. Due to its shape, it is called a tube mill and due to use of grinding balls for crushing, it is called a ball mill, or both terms as a ball tube mill. These mills are also designated as an example size, BBD-4772, • B Broyer (Name of inventor).• B Boulet (French word for balls).• D Direct firing.

The amount of coal is regulated according to the needs in the boiler combustion chamber (furnace).. The number regulation system in the coal feeder can be done in two ways based on the type, namely by weight fraction or coal volume fraction.
