The invention provides a method for determining the
burnout height of a
combustion chamber of a pulverized
coal boiler. The method comprises the steps as follows: Step 1: a high-altitude environment is simulated, and
combustion characteristic parameters of fire
coal in the high-altitude state are acquired through a
combustion test of the fire
coal on a test
bed; Step 2: according to the characteristic parameters, the correlation between the carbon content of coal-fired
fly ash of the fire coal and the dwell time of pulverized coal of the fire coal in the boiler is obtained; Step 3: according to the correlation between the carbon content of the
fly ash and the dwell time of the pulverized coal in the boiler, the dwell time value, corresponding to the
limit value, required to be reached during actual
boiler design, of the carbon content of the
fly ash, of the pulverized coal in the boiler is obtained, and the
burnout height of the
combustion chamber is obtained in combination with the
flue gas velocity of the pulverized coal in the
combustion chamber. With the method for determining the
burnout height, the
boiler design in a high-altitude area has more scientific bases, the problems of
high carbon content of the fly ash and low boiler combustion efficiency due to insufficient burnout time which is possibly caused by the fact that the burnout height of a boiler in the high-altitude area is determined as per the
empirical formula only are solved, and the
boiler design risk is effectively reduced.
