Apparatus and method for predicting ash deposition on heated surfaces of a fuel burning combustion vessel.

摘要

Appts. for predicting ash deposition on heated surfaces of a fuel burning combustion vessel in a combustion system comprising a device for obtaining an ash sample; a device utilising the obtd. ash sample for identifying chemistry compsn. particle-by-particle; a device for identifying equilibria phase diagram responsive to the identified chemistry compsn. of each particle of the ash sample; and a device responsive to the identified equilibria phase diagram for identifying a eutectic temp. of each particle of the ash sample.
