Performance Analysis of SG Furnace P M V Subbarao Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi Thermal Performance analysis of A complex Geometry…..
Analysis of the Last but One Effect Tfe • Final effect : Tfl gets changed to Furnace Exit GasTemperature. • Due to energy lost by hot gases. • Loss due to Environment • Energy absorbed by water walls • Energy lost by hot gasses from flame to exit. Tflame
Computation of Adiabatic Temperature Moles of Products of Combustion Syipi kJ/kmol.K
Analysis of the Last Effect Define Tfe • Heat absorbed = g (energy liberated – energy of gas at furnace exit). g is a loss factor. Tflame
Finally the successful radiative action to the water walls: Divide thought by Tad4: Define :
Furnace exit temperature is proportional to Flame Temperature.
Furnace Exit Gas Temperature • Temperature of gasses leaving the furnace. • An important furnace performance parameter. • Defines the ratio of furnace heat absorption to later (convective) heat absorption. • High FEGT – Compact furnace. • Due to increase in fouling of water wall tubes: • FEGT < Ash Deformation Temperature. • FEGT = AST – 100 • FEGT < 1100 0C – Strong slag • FEGT < 1200 0C – Moderate slag

FEGT : A Measure of Instantaneous Cleanliness of Furnace Walls
Turbine Inlet Steam Temperature Control System • In practice, the turbine governing system maintains required main steam flow rate for a given load on the turbine. • An appropriate control system is used to maintain turbine inlet temperature(TIT) within specified safe limits. • The control of TIT is generally carried out by injecting water in the path of super heaters. • This mixing chamber (attemperator) is placed at upstream of final super heater.
Furnace Cleanliness Factor Thus the Real FEGT and capacity FEGT can be calculated using the plant data and instantaneous cleanliness factor can be calculated using following formula:
Uses of Actual FEGT Calculations for Performance Monitoring and Analysis • Superheat steam temperature control : The final steam temperature is maintained by keeping the FEGT within the allowable limit. • Coal ash corrosion control: Maintaining the FEGT a minimum of 600C, below the ash softening temperature can reduce the potential of super heater coal ash corrosion . • Control of NOx production : It is essential for the operator to maintain the original design FEGT to minimize other side effects.
Effect of FEGT on NOx Emissions 16% rise in NOx due to 3% increase in FEGT. 1504 1550
Uses of Real FEGT Calculations for Performance Monitoring and Analysis • Soot blowing :FEGT can be used as the primary indicator to establish the scheme for automatic soot blowing (cleaning of heat transfer surfaces) or to alert the operator to start the manual soot-blowing operation. • If FEGT exceeds the original design value, this indicates that the furnace is dirty and the operator should initiate the furnace soot blowing and the soot blowing should be stopped when FEGT has been reduced below the original design value. • The over-blowing in the furnace is wasting the energy and can also create soot blower erosion problem in the water wall tube
