Airflow Measurement & Management Systems
How accurately are you measuring airflow? Through testing and calibration on many boilers, we have found the airflow to not be accurately measured or reliable. It is necessary to accurately measure and control the airflow in order to optimize combustion. Improved unit and pulverizer controllability by improving the “K” factor accuracy and repeatability. Smoother differential signal. Capability to improve DCS logic and control curves so that an optimum airflow can be achieved across the normal operating load range
Waterwall Chordal Thermocouples
Waterwall tube metal temperatures are highest on the fire side of the tube. Usually, on a clean tube, the mean wall temperature is less than 75°F above the saturation temperature. Supercritical boiler furnace wall tubes are usually within similar temperature differences of about 50-75°F between the fluid temperature and the “crown” of the tube on the fire side. However, if circulation is obstructed or more commonly if the water side of the tubes accumulate deposits, the metal temperature can climb to the point of metal overheating.
Testing Equipment
Fecheimer Probe
STORM’s Fecheimer probe is ideal for testing in locations with turbulent airflow such as test planes close to fans or internal bracing, bends in the duct work and more. The Fecheimer Probe is a three-hole probe with one impact hole and two static holes. This allows the probe to be null balanced to determine the yaw angle of flow and to correct the velocity head. They are manufactured in 2ft intervals from 6ft to 20ft, however custom sizes are available.
Forward / Reverse Probe
STORM’s Forward Reverse Probe is ideal for determining the amount and distribution of air and/or gas flow/velocities in a duct. The Forward Reverse Probe is a calibrated “S” type pitot tube with static pressure connection and type “K” chromel-alumel temperature measuring thermocouple. The Forward/Reverse is calibrated following the ASTM D3796-09 multiselect calibration technique to a NIST traceable standard pitot tube. The probe is all stainless-steel construction. Available in 2ft increments from 4ft to 22ft, however custom sizes can be fabricated.
