What is GCV of fuel
• Any fuel contains constituents like C, H, O, S, N, H2O ( Water / moisture) etc. in different proportion.
• Combustion of combustibles like C, H, S etc. releases energy due to exothermic nature of process.
• Ratio of total energy ( kcal ) release due to combustibles to unit mass ( kg ) of fuel is called as Gross Calorific Value ( GCV ).
• GCV is expressed in kcal / kg

What is NCV of fuel
• Combustion of H present in fuel forms H2O, which remains in flue gas. --------------M1
• Moisture/water present in fuel evaporates and remains in flue gas. ------------------M2
• Combustion air carries moisture, which evaporates and remains in flue gas.--------M3
• M1 + M2 + M3 = Total water vapour present in flue gas.-------------------------”M Total”
• Evaporation of “ M Total ” & to go to flue gas temperature requires energy, which is taken from gross energy release during combustion.
• Generally, the gas is never cooled less than its due point. As a result, heat carried away by water vapour in the flue gas dose not become available for useful purpose.
• Hence, GCV – heat carried by water vapour = NCV of fuel.
• NCV is also expressed in kcal/kg.

What is NCV of fuel (cont’d)
• It is customary to calculate thermal efficiency of fuel fired heaters on NCV of fuel basis, since heat carried by water vapour is any way not available for heat transfer. It is only NCV, which is available for heat transfer in heaters.
• Hence,

Thermal efficiency on GCV(Condensing Boiler)
• In a Steam Boiler (which constitutes Evaporator + Economiser + Water Preheater + Air Preheater etc.), when the flue gas is cooled upto less than its due point (57 oC approx.), the water vapour present in flue gas condenses while releasing its latent heat of condensation.
• This latent heat gets transferred to cooling medium i.e. feed water or combustion air (depending upon design).
• As a result, this latent heat becomes available and comes back to Steam Boiler system.
• Hence,

Need for Pressurized Deareator Tank
• In the Boiler without Economizer, feed water directly enters into Boiler / Evaporator. Oxygen present in feed water instantly separates at operating temperature of boiler (184 0C approx), comes into steam space and goes out with steam. This causes minimal corrosion due to oxygen.
• In the Boiler with Economizer, feed water enters the Economizer first and gradually heats up to 100 0C approx. before entering Evaporator. This results into gradual separation of oxygen from feed water. This oxygen sticks inside Economizer tubes and corrodes tube internal surface.
• In Atmospheric Deareation Tank, feed water is heated up to 90 0C approx., which results into 99% oxygen separation. This water is good enough for Boiler without Economizer.
16
Corporate Communication. Copyright ©Transparent Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved
Need for Pressurized Deareator Tank cont’d
• Pressurized Deareator Tank heats up feed water at 105 0C. This results into oxygen separation upto 99.9 %. This feed water becomes suitable for entering into Economizer.
• Balance oxygen in feed water is removed by chemical dosing. Pressurized Deareator Tank drastically reduces dependency on the level of accuracy of chemical dosing.
Hence, Pressurized deareator Tank is a must for Boiler with Economizer.

Advantages of Externally structure supported Chimney over Self Supported one
• The chimney is cylindrical with lower wall thickness. The chimney is supported by an external carbon steel structure.
• It is easily supported by external CS Structure upto the top to take care of wind loads and ease of maintenance.
• The chimney is made from pieces 6m long for ease of transportation.
• It is light in weight as compared to self supported chimney. Hence transportation and erection is quite easy.
• No need of heavy foundations. Cost of civil foundation work is lowest.
• The ladder can be inside the structure giving better safety for personnel.
• Chimney can be easily painted from outside due to supporting structure.
• In case top piece falls down due to corrosion, it falls within external structure, avoiding major accident.
