Coal mills grind the coal into fine powder, and the primary air entering the mill dries and drives the coal into the power plant furnace for combustion. Mills can be a bottleneck for the power generation process. Overall plant performance and reliability is highly influenced by the mill downtime. If there is less or no pulverized coal for ...

ATOX coal mill. Working principles The raw coal enters the mill via a rotary sluice and feed chute and is discharged onto the rotating grinding table. The rotation of the table accelerates the flow of material towards the grinding track, where the coal is ground between the table and the three rollers. The coal then continues over the dam
When a step-increasing signal is applied to u L (Fig. 3 (a)), the output of the model changes as follows. The cold air flow increases while the hot air flow remains constant, thus resulting in an increase in the W air at the inlet of the coal mill (Fig. 4 (a)) and a decrease in θ out (Fig. 4 (b)). The increase in W air increases the ∆ Ppa between …
