Proedure of douing Boiler Performance Test

The performance test in a boiler evaluates the practically achievable boiler efficiency. Performance tests are also carried out to prove boiler guarantees. As guarantees involve contractual conditions, the procedure involved are more elaborate than the test for evaluating performance.
Conducting a boiler performance test can be for understanding the current level of performance of the boiler, for any trouble shooting of the boiler for performance deviations, and for proving the performance guarantees. These entire three requirements can be met by the procedure adopted for performance guarantee testing. Before

how much water forms during combustion ?

When you burn fossil fuels or hydrocarbon fuels, the exothermic combustion reaction of Hydrogen in the fuel and Oxygen in the air produces water. This water goes out as vapour along with the flue gas. In coal firing, moisture in the coal augments the water quantity.

The quantity of water produced is much more than the steam cycle make-up quantity in fossil fuel power plants. If one can economically capture this water and use it for steam cycle make up and other utility applications in the power plant, it can greatly

what amount Air is Required for Burning the Coal?

The most important requirement to burn coal is the correct quantity of air. This article explains how to calculate the correct quantity of air.Coal is the most widely used fuel source used to produce electricity. Air is necessary to provide oxygen for burning coal. It is the chemical reaction between carbon in coal and the oxygen in the air that produces heat energy.
