By roughly adjusting the fuel supply, it is ensured that the air-powder distribution of each burner of each coal mill is uniform; by precisely adjusting key indicators such as NO x concentration and boiler efficiency, while optimizing the combustion process, the wall temperature deviation fine adjustment technology is used to identify the over-temperature points and adjust the air volume distribution of the over-fire air in the furnace width direction in real time to ensure the uniform distribution of the temperature on the boiler wall surface. Through multi-level collaborative optimization, the comprehensive goals of high-efficiency operation, low emissions, and high safety of the boiler are achieved.
