Furnace waterwall cooling includes not only the furnace front wall, side walls, roof and floor, but the
high heat duty screen tubes in front of the superheater as well. This unique boiler feature locates total
water cooling where it can contribute most to keeping maintenance costs down. Each screen tube is a
single flow path between drums to assure proper circulation and cooling.
When B&W designed the PFI/PFT, every effort was made to minimize furnace refractory, a major
maintenance area in boilers. Burners are located together on the furnace front (firing) wall, incorporating
fully water-cooled throats. As a result, there is no troublesome burner tile to point up or replace. The only
baffle used in a PFI is located at the cool boiler outlet zone. The PFT has no hot refractory baffles, only
water-cooled refractory, an alloy plate supported in the hot zone and an alloy plate in the cool zone.
For applications requiring extended steaming capacities, low draft loss or high gas flow conditions, the
PFI can be arranged as a twin furnace by joining two opposite-hand PFIs side-by-side.

Bottom support provides the most economical arrangement and requires less headroom in
the plant. Separate supports are located for
the drums, superheater headers and furnace.
Clearances, seals and supports are designed
for known expansions in all directions from the
fixed point.
The forces from normal operating positive furnace
gas side pressures are contained by a system
of buckstays comprised of tie bars and wide
flange structural members. This buckstay system
accommodates the effects of thermal expansion,
temperature and pressure stresses, as well as
wind and earthquake loading appropriate
to the plant location. Because our buckstays
are not welded to the furnace walls, weld tears
are eliminated.

The superheater incorporates B&Ws proven multipass design for high steam velocities, assuring
equalized cooling steam distribution in all circuits.
This minimizes the need for high alloy steels, even in
areas of highest temperature. Because the superheater is positioned in a partial radiant heat zone, the
steam temperature characteristic of the PFI/PFT
is nearly flat from about half load and higher.
This affords close control of process heating
requirements or turbine operation over a wide
load range while minimizing attemperation
requirements.
