  • What is Feeder ?? FEEDER: Supplying/providing/regulating/controlling of material to the system.

    COAL FEEDER: which Feeds coal from bunker to pulverizes or furnace corresponding to requirement of boiler load.

  • How to choose a feeder? Type Gravimetric or Volumetric Feeder delivery rate Centre distance between inlet & outlet Size of down spout Type of drive

  • Parameters affecting FeedersAshSurface Moisture HGIUnit load

  • Types of FeedersVolumetric Feeders:Feeds on volume basisSimplified controlsNo accuracy Cheaper in comparison to gravimetric feeders Types rotary ,belt, Drag Link Chain, Vibrating Gravimetric Feeders: feeds on weight basis Accuracy performance Stability and Improved Response of Combustion ControlsBalanced fuel/air ratio insure complete combustion.Types Single belt, Dual belt

  • Rotary coal feeders:Q=V*N*B

    Q=quantity of coal feed T/minV=volume of coal transferred per rotation in m3N= speed of feeders in rpmB= bulk density of coal T/m3

  • Drag link Chain Chain pins Chances of back fire Chain Pins are damage due to uneven coal size Daily maintenance

  • Use both vibration and gravityUncontrolled recovery of material from top of feeder and feed controlled

    Other volumetric feedersScrew feederVibrating feederA rotating helicoid screw moves the material forward or toward the processCapable of dense slurries and dry granular products

  • Gravimetric feedersSingle belt Load cell O/P * Speed sensor O/P = Rate O/P (Kg / meter) * (meter / second) = Kg / Sec

  • Another view of feeder

  • Gravimetric Feeder PrincipleWeighs material on a length of belt between two fixed rollers using a weighing roller.

    Belt speed is determined by a tachometer attached to the motor shaft. A microprocessor multiplies the speed and weight signal to arrive at the feeder output.

    The microprocessor matches the feeder output to the demanded output by adjusting the feeder motor speed.Calibrating wtLoad cell

  • Conclusion Reduction Fuel consumptionReduction of corrosion in boilerLess built up of slag in boilerGravimetric coal conveyors therefore make for cost-effective boiler operation with minimal coal consumption and reduced emissions.
