Coil Pulverizers for Boilers

The history of pulverization date back as early as 1824 and was envisaged by Carnot in a coal fired engine. In 1890 Diesel made use of pulverized coal in his diesel engine. The pulverized coal firing was first developed in cement industry which then migrated to power and process industries. Pulverizing coal in boiler is an important factor the overall cycle efficiency. There are many types of mills available, but proper selection will enhance the reliability in achieving a consistent boiler and cycle efficiency. Factors involved in grindability include the Hardgrove Index, total moisture, fineness, boiler inlet size, and flow variations. The fineness of the coal is also important in overall mill efficiency and in reducing carbon-dioxide.
