Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of boiler technology in thermal energy engineering, and particularly relates to a method for calculating the flue gas volume of a co-fired furnace for coal gas and pulverized coal. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, pulverized coal boilers that co-fire coal gas have been successfully applied and gradually promoted in some steel plants. Moreover, not only pulverized coal boilers that co-fire coal gas boilers, using both coal gas and pulverized coal as fuels, are becoming increasingly common. Co-fired coal gas boilers effectively reduce the emission rate of coal gas; and from the perspective of steel plants, using co-fired coal gas allows for better utilization of coal gas and helps achieve a balance in the coal gas pipeline network; furthermore, after pulverized coal is co-fired with coal gas, SO2 and NO... x The emissions of dust and particulate matter are significantly reduced compared to traditional pulverized coal boilers.
[0003] Furnace heat balance testing is a scientific method for enterprises to analyze the energy distribution and utilization level of heating furnaces. It is an important foundation for improving energy efficiency, optimizing energy management systems, and reducing energy consumption. It is also an important scientific basis for enterprises to formulate energy-saving and consumption-reducing measures and conduct enterprise development planning. Flue gas volume is an important thermal parameter for calculating heat expenditure in heat balance testing.
[0004] In the metallurgical industry, industrial furnaces that co-fire coal gas and pulverized coal are typically designed to control the amount of combustion air during combustion. This prevents incomplete combustion of coal gas and pulverized coal, thus avoiding chemical heat loss. In other words, the flue gas generally does not contain combustible substances such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. However, co-fired coal gas furnaces often lack flue gas metering or have inaccurate metering, which makes it impossible to conduct heat balance tests properly.
