The integral components of heat exchangers and in particular the tubes, tubesheets and
tube-to-tubesheet joints have vital roles in the proper functioning of this equipment. Several …

In power plant boiler, the temperature field information directly reflects its internal
combustion conditions. To ensure the proper running of the whole system and reduce …

Soot deposition reduces efficiency and is difficult to remove. In this study, two self-cleaning
methods were developed. First, an existing approach was modified to self-clean oleophilic …

The temperature distribution in the furnace of power plant boilers is an important parameter
to indicate the pulverized coal combustion state. The real-time and precise monitoring of the …

Depending on its operating conditions, traditional soot blowing is activated for a fixed time.
However, low-frequency soot blowing can cause heat transfer efficiency to decrease. High …

The paper investigates a comprehensive approach for ash fouling monitoring and an
optimized soot-blow mechanism for a thermal power plant reheater. A dynamic nonlinear …

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are based on Seebeck effect and produce electricity from
a heat flow. They require low maintenance and provide quiet operation. However, they have …

Abstract Information on temperature-field distribution can reflect the combustion state within
utility boiler furnaces, which is conducive for the formulation of control strategies to ensure …

The accurate and timely detection of anomalous conditions are essential for the safe and
economical operation of complex thermal power plants (TPPs). However, the development …

Owing to the lack of direct measurement on the slagging extent of the waterwall, random or
empirical soot-blowing strategies practiced in many power plants can result in untimely or …
