Generally AVT
Furnace Design
FEGT = IDT - 50 K
FEGT = Furnace exit gas temperature
IDT = Initial deformation temperature of ash
CETHAR LIMITED
IDT = Initial deformation temperature of ash
Furnace design and size are decided by coal and ash quality
Evaporator wall design
� Heat absorption variation and resulting temperature difference at furnace wall outlet
Key Issues
� Boiling crisis like DNB and Dry out and associated wall temperatures

Spiral wall arrangement
CETHAR LIMITED
Spiral wall construction reduces the number of eva porator wall tubes and thereby increases mass flux through the tubes.
This ensures a minimum water wall flow and protects water wall tubes.

Control concepts specific to Once through boilers
� Feed water flow control:� Feed water flow is controlled by drum level in drum type boilers. In
once trough boiler, feed flow depends directly on the load.
� SH steam temperature control� In drum type boiler, SH outlet temperature is maintained by spray.
In once through boiler, SH steam temperature is controlled by spray followed by firing rate.
CETHAR LIMITED
� Water collecting vessel level control� Swell during start up is discharged by two quick acting control
valves into a flash tank.
� During low load operation, water level is maintained over a range by a flow control valve located downstream of circulating pump.
Water treatment
� Stringent water quality requirements. Water quality requirements are
to be strictly adhered to as there is no blow down from drum
� Oxygenated water treatment is used
� Oxygen is injected to reduce the formation of magnetite layer
(Fe3O4) and form more of hematite layer (Fe2O3) which will reduce
the deposits and the pressure drop
CETHAR LIMITED
the deposits and the pressure drop
� To achieve this, oxygen in feed water is to be maintained within 0.03
to 0.15 mg/L and the conductivity of feed water at 25 deg C
downstream of cation exchanger is to be maintained less than 0.15
micro Siemens/cm
� During Start up : All Volatile Treatment (AVT)
� During Normal Operation : Oxygenated water treatment
