Solid fuel distribution system - has coal supply hopper and intermediate silo to provide fluidised fuel to burner

摘要

The system is suitable for solid pulverised fuel and consists of a distribution system which has a coal hopper. The hopper has a gate to stop the supply of fuel temporarily to the system. The fuel passes down a tunnel. The end of the tunnel is connected to a compressed air pipe which provides heated air to the fuel. The air travels up the tunnel and is expelled just before the inlet hopper. The fuel is conveyed to a hopper by an elevator. The base of the hopper has a blower which provides the fluidised fuel to the burner.
