The paper considers the influence of technological factors (design of the boiler-unit, load, air excess, the number of working dust collecting systems) on the formation and reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions in boilers with liquid slag removal. Understanding of this influence can be used both at many operating heat and power sources, and in the development of new combustion technologies. The long-term experience of burning brown coals of the Kansk-Achinsk basin (KAC) at CHPP-6 in Bratsk in boilers of the BKZ-320-140 PT type is studied and analyzed. The analysis uses the results of various thermodynamic and industrial studies of the sulfur dioxide formation during the combustion of KAC, including those carried out by the authors. They identified the temperature and structural zones of the boiler unit, where the resulting reaction of the sulfur dioxide transition to calcium sulfate occurs. It was found that such a zone is the upper part of the cooling chamber, where the indicated transition occurs at temperatures of 1500 ÷ 1400 K. It was found that SO2 emissions rise with an increase in the boiler load and air excess. They also depend on the number of dust systems and their combination (determining the turbulization of combustion processes). A technological mechanism for the sulfur dioxide transition to calcium sulfate for the operation of boilers with liquid slag removal is proposed. Regime and constructive measures are proposed to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide.
THE PURPOSE. Improving the energy efficiency of a hydroelectric power plant (HPP). Determination of the volume of lost thermal energy from HPP equipment. Development of options for the beneficial use of low-grade heat. Economic evaluation of the proposed options. Selection of the most appropriate waste heat utilization option. METHODS. The methods of the theory of heat and mass transfer, thermodynamic analysis, technical and economic calculations in the energy sector are used in the work. RESULTS. The article determined the temperatures of heat carriers in the cooling system of the hydroelectric generator of the Bratsk HPP. Calculated heat losses in the amount of 92,52 MW. 3 variants of heat supply for the facilities of the Bratsk HPP have been laid. An optimized scheme of heat generation using a heat pump installation (HPI) has been developed. A feasibility study of the proposed options for heat supply has been carried out. An analysis of the Russian HPI market was carried out. A cost-effective heat supply option with 2 Viesmann Vitocal 350-G Pro HPI was selected for implementation with a capital investment 34,46 million of RUB and a payback period of 7,3 years. CONCLUSION. The results of technical and economic calculations show the feasibility of introducing a HPI into the heat generation system of the Bratsk HPP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
