This report presents a study of the development of an advanced coal nozzle used in burners to reduce unburned carbon (UBC) in a tangential coal-fired boiler. To understand the mechanism of UBC reduction, experiments using conventional burners were carried out to evaluate the effects of air injection velocity, coal fineness and over fired air (OFA) on combustion efficiency. It was confirmed that ignition of pulverized coal particles close to the burner is helpful toward the complete burn of residual carbon in fly ash. These efforts indicated the additional results that UBC was strongly dependent on the primary air velocity and coal fineness; especially that UBC dramatically decreased when the weight fraction of pulverized coal under $75{\mu}m$ was over 85 %. New coal nozzles, modified from conventional nozzles, were prepared and tested to improve the combustion efficiency. Some of these nozzles offered relatively lower unburned carbon than those of conventional burners and are referred to as HPFS (High Performance Flame Stability) coal nozzles.

The flame image observation and analysis has been investigated for combustion monitoring and management of the pulverized coal firing for thermal power plant, especially for lower nitrogen oxide generation and safer operation. We aimed at obtaining the relationship between burner flame image information and emissions of nitrogen oxide and unburned carbon in furnace utilizing the flame image processing methods, by which we quantitatively determine the conditions of combustion on the individual homers. Its feasibility test was undertaken with Samchonpo thermal power plant #4 unit which has 24 burners, through which the system was observed to be effective for evaluating the combustion conditions and continuous monitoring to prevent future loss of ignition.

The pulverized coal combustion behavior in the utility boiler is very complex since so many physical and chemical processes happen in it, simultaneously. The mixing of pulverized coal with combustion air plays an important role in achieving the efficient combustion and stable boiler operation. The distribution of combustion air supplied to the furnace through the windbox damper system has not been clearly known since the individual measurements of air flow for each air nozzle were not possible, yet. The present study describes the CFD modelling of windbox damper system and aims to obtain the air flow rates and pressure loss coefficients across the present five damper systems, respectively. The one dimensional flow network model has been also established to get air flow distributions across the windbox damper, and applied to the actual plant operation condition. Compared with the designed air flow distribution, the modelled one gives a reasonable agreement. For the actual plant operation, the predicted air flow distribution at each air nozzle is differed with the designed data and strongly affected by the individual opening angle.

The cofiring of renewable fuel in coal fired boilers is an attractive option to mitigate $CO_2$ emissions, since it is relatively low cost option for efficiently converting renewable fuel to electricity by adding biomass as partial substitute of coal. However, it would lead to reduce plant efficiency and flexibility in operation, and increase operation cost and capital cost associated with renewable fuels handling and firing equipment. The aim of this study is to investigate reduction of carbon dioxide at varying percentage of biomass in fuel blend to the boiler biomass, and estimate operation and capital cost. Wood pellet, PKS (palm kernel shell), EFB (empty fruit bunch) and sludge are considered as a renewable fuels for a cofiring with coal. Several approaches by the cofiring ratio are chosen from past plant demonstrations and commercial cofiring operation, and they are evaluated and discussed for CO2 reduction and cost estimation.

국내에 수입되어 사용되고 있는 발전용 석탄 2종에 대하여 기초적인 열중량분석기를 이용한 열특성 분석실험과 대용량 시험연소로를 이용한 연소시험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 고수분탄이 비록 착화 온도가 낮고 및 연소 구간이 짧아 초기 연소특성은 좋지만 비교탄에 비해 연소완료가 빨리 종결되지 못해 결과적으로는 연소 효율이 좋지 않았으며, 고수분탄의 활성화에너지는 고수분탄이 79 kJ/mol로서 비교탄의 53 kJ/mol에 비해 높은 특성을 보였다. 또한 시험연소로 시험과정에서 고수분탄의 화염 내 검은 색의 석탄분사체(Coal Jet) 형태가 비교탄에 비해 비교적 뚜렷이 관찰되어 연소속도가 다소 떨어지는 상호 연관성이 잘 설명되었고 연소후 미연분 발생량에서도 고수분탄이 다소 높게 나타났다. 그러나 고수분탄의 경우 낮은 유황분 함량으로 인해 연소 시 황산화물 배출량이 적어 고유황 함량의 석탄과의 혼합연소 시 유용하게 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 예상되었으며, 또한 회성분 분석결과 $Na_2O$와 $K_2O$ 등의 알카리비금속화합물 함량이 기존의 역청탄에 비해 매우 적고 회분자체의 함량도 매우 낮아 회분의 융착 정도가 높지 않게 나타났다.

The discharge and the collection efficiency characteristics of an electrostatic precipitator have been studied under various operating conditions. The specific resistivity of pulverized coal dust was about 1013∼1014[${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$] and reached the maximum value of 6${\times}$1013[${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$] at 150[$^{\circ}C$]. Back corona has been occurred as dust contents and gas temperature increase. In the case of back corona occurrence, collection effciency decreased rapidly. This problem has been solved by increasing moisture contents. Experimental results showed that collection efficiency of the full wave voltage was higher than that of the pulse wave voltage. The modification parameter k of the collection efficiency equation was about 0.42.

The experimental investigation of a coal splitter used in the 500㎿(e) boilers of fossil power plant is carried out to validate the design criteria. To predict air flow and the amount of particles at the exit, velocity and the weight of particles are measured on test planes using the coal splitter model with two-dimensional phase doppler particle analyzer and the glass fiber filter. It is found that the position of guide plate influences significantly both flow rates of gas and particle at the exit. Gas flow rate was a linear function of the guide plate, whereas particle flow rate was a exponential function of it.

Measured radiative heat fluxes on the furnace exit plane of a heavy duty power boiler of steam output 1650 T/h are discussed. A high-ash pulverized bituminous coal was used. Such measurements are necessary to improve heat fluxes inside a steam boiler furnace was manufactured. An extra small heat radiation sensor was placed in the water cooled head of the probe. The sensor had no direct contact with furnace gases and measured only the radiant energy. There was no exposure to convective heat transfer. With the radiometric probe, one can obtain a spherical indicatrix of radiation intensity as well as hemispherical radiative heat flux incident on any surface passing through a measuring point inside the furnace. Thus, the quantity of radiation energy, passing through the furnace exit plane, to the convective heating surfaces and the quantity of radiation energy going in the opposite direction were measured. A formula for relative radiative heat flux on the furnace exit plane has been proposed.

국내의 23개 무연탄을 대상으로 석탄회의 화학분석 및 용융특성분석을 수행하여 석탄회의 화학조성과 용융온도와의 상관성을 고찰하였다. 또한 이들 무연탄을 미분탄 연소의 연료로 사용시 야기될 수 있는 slagging, fouling성을 예측하여 보았다. 국내 무연탄회는 대부분 $SiO_2$와 $Al_2O_3$를 80% 이상 함유하고 있는 반면 1% 이하의 적은 양의 $Na_2O$를 함유하고 있으며, 또한 비교적 높은 용융온도를 갖는다. 따라서 이 무연탄들을 미분탄 연소의 연료로 사용시 slagging 및 fouling 발생 가능성은 낮을 것으로 예측되었다. 국내 무연탄회의 용융특성은 base/acid ratio와 비교적 높은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

Three-dimensional experimental analyses were conducted in the pulverizer simplified isothermal model. The experimental model was constructed on a 1/3.5 scale of 500MW pulverized coal boiler. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of coal particle separator and the pressure loss in the pulverizer models with dynamic classifier. Without regards a shape of separator top, the results showed that the increase of dynamic classifier rpm was induced in finer coal particle. But the capacity of total mass per minute was reduced. Also, the increase of dynamic classifier rpm had no effect on total pressure loss, but an increase of inlet velocity was induced that the rise of total pressure loss in the pulverizer models with dynamic classifier.
