As the industry of 21C has been developed, the gas industry has grown and it has not only the convenience but also the riskiness fer using. Especially, the energy and environment problems have been getting serious after the modern industry revolution. Therefore, the demand of gas as an eco-friendly energy source is getting increased. With the demand of gas, the installation and use of gas boiler is also increased, so human life injury by the waste gas(CO) of boiler goes on increasing every year. Therefore, we want to find out the harm to human body through the study on the concentration of CO by the length of the curved exhaust tube of boiler. The allowable concentration of CO is 50ppm. The length of the one-meter-three-curved tube after three minutes is applicable to 50ppm of the threshold limit values of CO. Also, five meters exceed the threshold limit values of CO after five minutes. Strangely, the concentration of CO is under the threshold limit values from two to four meters.

It was numerically studied that characteristics of fluid flow and heat transfer in a tube with disk and annular baffle for heat exchanger of condensing boiler. Using a finite volume technique and CFD code, STAR-CD, the governing equations were solved and the temperature and flow fields were investigated. The interval between tube and annular baffle, height and diameter of baffle were selected as important design parameters, and the effects of these parameters on heat transfer and fluid flow were studied. As a result, in the case of with interval, the pressure was decreased but heat transfer was increased. Also heat transfer was slowly increased as the size of disk and annular baffle were increased and the distance between baffles were decreased.

Several methods have been developed to predict the rupture time of the boiler tubes in thermal power plant. However, existing life prediction methods give very conservative value at operating stress of power plant and rupture strain cannot be well estimated. Therefore, in this study, rupture time and strain prediction method accounting for creep, corrosion and heat transfer is newly proposed and compared with the current research results. The creep damage evolves by continuous cavity nucleation and constrained cavity growth. The corrosion damage evolves by steam side and fire side corrosion. The results showed good correlation between the theoretically predicted rupture time and the current research results. And rupture strain may be well estimated by using the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a fault detection model based on multi-layer neural network using data mining technique for faults due to boiler tube leakage in a thermal power plant. Major measurement data related to faults are analyzed using statistical methods. Based on the analysis results, the number of input data of the proposed fault detection model is simplified. Then, each input data is clustering with normal data and fault data by applying K-Means algorithm, which is one of the data mining techniques. fault data were trained by the neural network and tested fault detection for boiler tube leakage fault.

The catastrophic collapse of the in-boiler scaffolding system in the two thermal power plants occurred in March and April 2012. After site investigation and document review, it was found that the specialized scaffolding system was imported for overhaul & maintenance and that the system did not get the safety certification at the import. In this regard, this study developed & proposed an access platform and a support for the vertical tube section of the super heat as well as a variable-length platform for the horizontal tube section, satisfying the domestic certification standards. The access platform was developed to be easy to handle by the worker with a weight of about 0.069 kN, which could reduce the risk of falling accidents and workers' musculoskeletal diseases. For the variable-length platform, it is possible to cope with various changes in length between the horizontal tubes associated with the increase of rigidity in the overlapping and the elimination of the protrusion.

The superheater and reheater tubes of a heavy-load fossil power plant boiler can be damaged by overheating, and therefore, the degree of overheating is assessed by measuring the oxide scale thickness inside the tube during outages. The tube temperature prediction from the oxide scale thickness measurement is necessarily accompanied by destructive tube sampling, and the result of tube temperature prediction cannot be expected to be accurate unless the selection of the overheated point is precise and the initial-operation tube temperature has been obtained. In contrast, if the tube temperature is to be predicted analytically, considerable effort (to carry out the analysis of combustion, radiation, convection heat transfer, and turbulence fluid dynamics of the gas outside the tube) is required. In addition, in the case of analytical tube temperature prediction, load changes, variations in the fuel composition, and operation mode changes are hardly considered, thus impeding the continuous monitoring of the tube temperature. This paper proposes a method for the short-term prediction of tube temperature; the method involves the use of boiler operation information and flow-network-analysis-based tube heat flux. This method can help in high-temperaturedamage monitoring when it is integrated with a practical tube-damage-assessment method such as the Larson-Miller Parameter.

There is growing concern over the effects of global warning. In response, the power generation sector must consider a wider range of systems and fuels to generate power. One of the classes of solid fuels that is being increasingly developed is biomass. However, one of the most serious problems that biomass plants face is severe corrosion. To mitigate the problem, various approaches have been proposed in terms of additive utilization. This study is based on the results obtained during the co-combustion of wood chip and waste wood in a circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFBC boiler). The KCl concentration was reduced from 59.9 ppm to 3.9 ppm during the injection of ammonium sulfate, and NOx was reduced by 25.5 ppm from 30.6 ppm to 5.1 ppm. However, SOx increased by 110.2 ppm from 33.2 ppm to 143.4 ppm, and HCl increased by 71.5 ppm from 340.5 ppm to 412.0 ppm. Thus, we confirmed that the attitude of the superheater tube was reduced by 87 ~ 93%, and the injection of ammonium sulfate was effective in preventing high-temperature corrosion.

A computer simulation program for the design of furnace witjin pakaged water-tube boilres is developed and the developed computer program is successfully applied to design the furnace for packaged water-tube boiler. The model by experiment and the model by Hottel are used to predict the exit gas temperature of furnace. The result by two models is discussed and is shown that in the case of constant cross section in furnace, the result is same but in changing the configuration of cross section, the difference by two models is not small.
