🔍 Key Concepts

• Boiler combustion and excess air – how air/fuel ratio affects furnace gas temperature • Superheater heat transfer – what the superheater needs in order to raise steam temperature • Difference between water/steam-side issues (feedwater temp, water screens) and gas-side issues (combustion air, gas temperature)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does low superheater outlet temperature usually come from lower furnace gas temperature, or from cooler feedwater entering the boiler? • Which option directly affects the temperature of the hot gases flowing across the superheater tubes? • Which choices mainly affect steam pressure/quantity vs. those that affect steam temperature leaving the superheater?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options change furnace gas temperature (and therefore superheater outlet temperature). • Separate the options that affect steam generation rate/boiler efficiency from those that would specifically lower superheat temperature. • Verify which condition would lead to cooler gas at the superheater inlet, even if the firing rate is the same.
