DECODING

CALCULATION OF PHR
By Sunil kumar chaubey
PLAT HEAT RATE FORMULA

 PHR= TG HEAT RATE/BOILER EFFICIENCY

 TG HR=[24{MS FLOW(MS STEAM ENTHALPY-FW

ENTHALPY)+HRH FLOW(HRH STEAM ENTHALPY-CRH
ENTHALPY)]/UNIT GENERATION*4.1868

 BOILER Efficiency= 100%-LOSS

TURBINE HEAT RATE
 ENTHALPY IS A FUNCTION FOR STEAM OR
WATER TEMPRETURE AND PRESSURE.
 TO obtain desired TGHR we have to maintain
rated Steam Temperature and pressure .
 MS Temperature- 537C
 HRH Tempreture-538C
 CRH Temperature- 344.1C
 FW Temperature- 240.6C
 As we operate in sliding pressure mode pressure
is not constant and pressure depends on load.
BOILER LOSSES
 LIST OF BOILER LOSSES-(11nos)
 Due to Dry flue gas
 Due to H2O in Fuel
 Due to H2 in Fuel
 Due to H2O in air
 Due to Partial combustion
 Unburnt loss in Bottom and Fly ash
 Sensible heat loss in Fly and Bottom ash
 Radiation loss
 Mill reject loss
 Blow down loss
 Other losses plant specific
BOILER LOSSES
BOILER LOSSES
1. Loss due to Dry Flue gas-
 Aditya Design value-4.81%

 Control Factors Flue Gas Temp and Actual air

supplied.

 Formula
=Mass of dry flue gas X 0.24 X (FG temp-Amb
temp)X100
GCV
BOILER LOSSES
1. Loss due to Dry Flue gas-

 Mass of dry flue gas=

= [(C x 44/12)+ (S x 64/32) + N + (Actual air
supplied x 77)+{23(actual air-Theoretical
air)}]/100
Where
C= Carbon
S= Sulpher
N= Nitrogen
 C,S,N calculated from Coal proximate analysis.
BOILER LOSSES
1. Loss due to Dry Flue gas-
 Actual Air=(1+Excess air/100)x Theoretical air
 Excess air = O2 APH O/L/(21- O2 APH O/L)
 Theoretical Air=[11.6 C/100 + 34.8(H2-O/8)/100 +
4.35 S/100]
Where
H2-Hydrogen
O-Oxygen
BOILER LOSSES
2. Loss due to H2O in Fuel=
Moisture[584+0.45(FG temp-FD inlet)]
GCV
3. Loss due to H2 in Fuel=
8.937 H2 [584+0.45(FG temp-FD
inlet)
GCV
4. Loss due to H20 in Air is very less and
depends upon humidity in Air.
BOILER LOSSES
5.Loss due to Partial combustion is very less
and depends upon CO value.
6 .Loss due to Unburnt Carbon in Fly ash=
0.9 x Ash% x ESP Ash Carbon x 8077
100xGCV
Loss due to Unburnt Carbon in bottom
ash=
0.1 x Ash% x bottom Ash Carbon x
8077
100xGCV
 Control factors BA and FA.
BOILER LOSSES
7.Sensible heat loss-
7A. In ESP ash=
Ash%*(90/10000)*0.23*(FG temp-FD inlet air temp)*100
GCV
7B. In Bottom ash=
Ash%*(10/10000)*0.23*(BA temp -FD inlet air temp)*100
GCV
 Control Factors FG temp.

 BA Temp-300C

8.Radiation loss-0.5%
BOILER LOSSES
9.Mill Reject loss
= Mill reject Qty in 24 hr*Reject GCV
Unit Gen*0.7*1000*GCV
Control Factors Mill rejects quantity
10.Blow down leakage loss
= (0.8*MKW*300+0.2*MKW*150)*100
Unit Gen*GCV*0.7
Where MKW=makeup water in 24 hr
 Control Factors MKW

11.Other Plant specific loss=0.5%
