Detection of Malfunctions and Abnormal Working Conditions of a Coal Mill

The coal is fed to the coal mill through the central inlet pipe, where it is pulverized by a series of large balls separated by two types of rings. The pulverized material is carried out in the mill by the flow of air moving through it. The primary air is a mixture of cold air and air heated by the preheaters.

Abstract Ball drum mills (BDM) are one of the main types of coalgrinding equipment in Russia. A significant drawback of BDM is high power consumption (a significant part of the TPP's own needs). With a huge scale of production, reducing these costs even by a few percent gives a significant economic effect. The problem of minimizing the specific energy consumption for grinding and ...

Coal Mills SolidsWiki

The primary air flow to the furnace is fed through the mill, with the purpose of heating and lift the coal particles out of the mill and into the furnace. If the the particles are too heavy they will drop to the bottom of the mill and will be pulverized once more. The coal particles are heated to 100 degrees Celsius.

A variable amount of cleaned gas can be recycled from the grinding system filter to maintain the required flow for separation and convey ing through the mill, independent of the amount of hot gas needed for drying. The ATOX coal mill has a water injection system to compensate for low water content in the raw coal, which allows

Volume flow measurement for regulating the air supply of a raw mill ENVEA

The AirFlow P is a sensor specially developed for measuring air volumes in dusty applications. The AirFlow P determines the air velocity with the help of the dust particles in the process. The evaluation unit ( MSE 300) calculates the measured velocity with an entered line area (v x A = m 3 /h). This makes it possible to obtain an air volume in ...
