Abstract

Three dimensional numerical analysis were performed to investigate the combustion characteristics in a tangentially fired pulverized coal boiler. The predicted values at the outlet of economizer for the gas temperature, O$_2$, NO, CO were been compared with the measured data. By using the actual operating conditions of the power plant, the distribution of velocity, gas temperature, O$_2$, CO, CO$_2$ and NO as well as the particle tracking in the boiler were investigated. Throughout the present study, the non-uniform distribution of flue gas temperature in front of the final superheater might be resulted from the residual swirl flow in the upper furnace of the boiler. The present analysis on non-uniform distribution of the gas temperature could provide the useful information to prevent the frequent tube failure from happening in the final superheater of the tangentially coal-fired boiler.

접선 연소식 미분탄 보일러의 연소특성 분석을 위한 3차원 전산해석 연구를 수행하였다. 해석 결과의 건전성 검증을 위하여 보일러 출구, 즉 절탄기 후단에서의 가스 온도, O$_2$, NO, CO 농도를 발전소의 실제 측정 결과와 비교하였다. 실제 발전소의 운전조건을 기준으로 보일러내의 가스온도, 속도 분포를 해석하였으며 주요 가스농도인 O$_2$, CO, CO$_2$, NO의 분포와 char 입자 궤적을 구하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 최종과열기 전단에서의 가스 온도가 불균일하게 분포함을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 보일러 상부 연소로에서의 잔류 선회유동의 결과인 것으로 파악되었다. 불균일한 가스온도 분포에 대한 해석결과는 접선연소식 미분탄 보일러에서 자주 발생하는 튜브 파손을 방지하는데 있어 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
