Increasing the amount of excess air to a boiler equipped with an uncontrolled interdeck superheater will cause the steam temperature at the superheater outlet to __________.
• Excess air in boiler combustion and its effect on furnace gas temperature • How an uncontrolled interdeck superheater is heated (what its heat source is) • Relationship between gas temperature and steam outlet temperature in a convection-type superheater
• If you add more excess air to the furnace, what happens to the flame and gas temperature for the same fuel firing rate? • Does an uncontrolled interdeck superheater automatically compensate for changes in gas temperature, or does it simply follow those changes? • Would the effect of changing excess air be a quick spike or a more steady change in superheater outlet temperature?
• Confirm whether more excess air generally cools or heats the furnace gas for a given load • Identify that an interdeck superheater is located between stages of the turbine and is usually a convection-type unit taking heat from flue gas, not from attemperation water control • Decide if the temperature effect at the superheater outlet would be sustained or only brief/transient for a change in excess air
