A Control Strategy of the Air Flow Rate of Coal-Fired Utility Boilers …
A forced draft fan motor current (FFC) was used during boiler combustion to regulate the air flow rate entering the furnace. The results show that the FFC and coal flow change with the power output. However, the coal flow exhibits larger fluctuations than the FFC, indicating that the air/coal ratio is out of balance at certain times.
