ECONOMIZER

• Purpose: Preheat the boiler feed water and

recover some of the heat from the flue
gases.
• Location: Rear gas pass below the rear
horizontal SH.
• Staggered arrangement.
• Continuous finned tube.
 ECONOMIZER
• Tube size:
OD 44.5 mm X 4.5 mm (thick).
Material – SA 210 Gr A1.
• Probable failure causes.
WJF
Erosion
 DRUM
• FUNCTION:
To separate steam and water from the mixture
generated from water walls.
Reduce the dissolved solid contents into acceptable
limits.
• Size:
ID – 1676 mm; Thickness – 133 mm
Length – 15700 mm; hemisphere – 940 mm
Material SA 299
 DRUM
• Steam drum internals:
Feed pipe.
Separating chamber.
Turbo separators.
Screen dryers
Chemical dosing.
Blow down.
 Welded Wall Construction
• Water cooled furnace.
Combustion and heat transfer takes place.
Construction:
Furnace walls Membrane type.
Radiant roof is of pegfin welded construction.
Rear pass roof, and rear, front and side steam
cooled wall are of fin welded construction.
 WATER WALL
• Bottom construction:
Depends on fuel and ash condition.
Mostly open hopper type, often referred as
dry bottom. Leakage of air between furnace
and hopper is prevented by either a water
impounded or a mechanical seal expansion
joints.
 WATER WALL
• Corner/tangential fired.
• Tube Dia -63.5 mm Thickness – 5.2 mm
Material – SA 210 Gr A1.
• Probable failure causes.
Blistering
Erosion
Corrosion
AWF/WJF.
 SUPERHEATERS
• Composed of four basic stages:
Pendant section, Platen section, Rear
horizontal section, and the steam cooled
wall and roof sections.
Location:
Platen Section is located just above the
furnace in front of the furnace arch. Heat
absorbs mainly by radiation.
 SUPERHEATERS
• Pendant section is located behind the screen
tubes. Predominant mode of HT is
convection.
• LTSH is located in the rear vertical gas pass
above economizer. This is the primary SH
of the convective, counter flow type.
• SCW sections form the side, front and rear
walls and roof of the vertical gas flow path.
 REHEATER
• Reheater is composed of two sections namely
front pendant and rear pendant vertical spaced
section.
• Location:
Rear pendant is located above the furnace arch
between water cooled screen and rear water wall
hangers.
Front pendant is located between water wall hangers
and platen section.
