Boiler Fuel Firing System

Burning or Combustion is special form of
Oxidation:
- Oxygen rapidly combines with such type of fuel
such as coal, Oil or gas and liberated amount of
heat.

The Degree of Flammability depends on how easy

it is to turn into a gas, because nothing truly burns
until it is a gas. This in turn depends on the nature
and quantity of the substance, compared with
amount of heat available to start combustion.

Burners:-
 Burners undertake the task of delivering coal and air in
a proper proportion, facilitate ignition energy to the
coal air stream, sustain the ignition and provide a
stable flame during the operation, complete the task of
combustion and delivering heat to the intended
purpose.

 Burners are basically Classified into:

1) Tangential Fired Burner
2) Down Shot Burner
3) Wall Burner

Burner Arrangement:- OFA1

 In Tangentially fired burners Four Tall Wind-boxes ( FF

Combustion air Boxes ) are arranged, one at each corner of F
furnace. EF
 The Pulverized Coal Burner are arranged in such way 1 Mill E
Supply Coal in 4 Corners at a Elevations. DE
 The Oil Burner are located at different Level/ Elevations of D
furnace and fed with Light Diesel Oil (LDO). CD
 All the Nozzles of Burners are inter-linked which tilt up to C
+20° to -20°. BC

 Oil Firing System
Fuel Oil Preparation:-
Filtering the oil, Pumping the oil and heating it
are the major preparatory functions.

Filtration of oil in one or more stages to remove

any dust, dirt, sediments, sledge etc. also forms
part of preparation.

This renders long trouble free service life to

pumps, valves and oil gun atomizer nozzles.

Pumping the oil to overcome pressure drop in the

long oil supply lines and deliver the oil at required
pressure at oil gun tips.

Fuel Oil Atomisation:-
Atomisation is the process of spraying the fuel oil into
fine mist, for better mixing of the fuel with the combustion air.
While passing through the spray nozzles of the oil gun, the
pressure energy of the Instrument air converts into velocity
energy, which breaks up the oil stream into fine particles.

Poorly atomised fuel oil would mean bigger spray particles, which
takes longer burning time, results in carryovers and makes the
flame unstable due to low rate of heat liberation and incomplete
combustion.

Other than pressure, viscosity of the oil is the major parameter

which decides upon the atomisation level.

oil at a high pressure flows in
the center tube and is
discharged through tangential
slots in the sprayer plate
swirling chamber where the
oil rotate at high speed.
