This manual has been written for boiler operators and is intended to be a concise,easily understood, and interesting guide to the clean and efficient operation of bituminousand sub-bituminous stoker coal- fired boilers. It should be made very clear that thismanual neither replaces nor supercedes the manufacturer's operating manual. Thismanual will explain general principles of boiler operation and will suggest ways ofreducing boiler emissions and increasing boiler efficiency. This manual will not showthe operator exactly how to implement these suggestions. For this reason, the operatorshould consult the boiler manufacturer's operating instructions as well.
The first part of the manual includes a list of definitions used in discussing stokerequipment. The reader needs to understand terminology in order to properly address thetechnical and operational ramifications of a stoker-boiler installation.
The first section of the manual describes the types of stoker boilers in use today.Since stokers of different design have different operating characteristics, this part of themanual will explain each type of design to enable a better understanding of how to solveproblems specific to the type of stoker in use. The next section of the manual explainsthe combustion process. Since both increased boiler efficiency and reduced boileremissions can be achieved most inexpensively through combustion optimization, a basicunderstanding of the combustion process is essential to achieving improved boileroperation. The last two sections of the manual explain how the operator can control thecombustion process in the coal stoker-fired boiler in such a way as to achieve increasedboiler efficiency and reduced emissions. While it is frequently possible to achieveincreased efficiency and reduced emissions simultaneously, there is sometimes a tradeoffbetween the two. The nature of this tradeoff is explained in the last two sections of themanual.
