  3. MECONTROL Air Steam generator Air preheater Burner Primary air Secondary air Electric precipitator Flue gas Coal bunker Pulverized fuel Intermed. Fly-ash bunker Fly ash Excess Air Coal mill FD-Fans System Application for Boiler Optimization

  4. Issues with Air Flow Measurement Calibration? Linearity? Drift (Jamming)? Accuracy in short pipe sections? Flow straighteners (delta P loss)?

  5. Signal Sensor 1 Air Duct or Pipe “Signature” Signal Sensor 2 Sensor 2 Sensor 1 X(t) Y(t)=X(t-T) S=const. T=-26 ms Optimum of correlation “Correlation” correlation Time T Example S=54 cm T=26 ms w=20,8 m/s (average velocity of the air !) MECONTROL AirMeasurement Principle „velocity“

  13. Multiple Air Flow Sensor LocationsNiederaussem Station, Germany 3 channels

  14. PS Iskenderun, Turkey: Main plant data: (2 x 600 MW), erected 2003/2004 24 burners, double wall fired: Measurement of: -windbox secondary air system, -core air system with short duct runs, -primary dirty air per burner.

  15. Reference of Measurement against Venturi

  16. Damper Burner 33 Burner 34 Burner 32 Burner 35 Burner 31 Burner 36 Challenges: - short inlet sections of secondary air - downstream flap dampers - air stratification in ducts

  17. Measuring core air into the burners: Challenges: extremely short measurement sections

  18. Core air duct work: Installation of MECONTROL Air measurement: main core air duct individual burner core air

  19. Individual core air flow position Air flow balance: for proof of plausibility plant demanded a balance to be made of main duct measurements versus indi- vidual core air measurement at each burner.

  20. Check of accuracy by mass flow balance

  21. Uneven distribution of core air

  22. Measurement of primary air out of the pulverizer measurement of dirty air flow in indivual burner lines subtraction of steam.

  23. Final result of measurement: the secondary air windbox causes main air imbalance 31 32 33 34 35 36
