Steam generation in a pulverized coal-fired boiler is accomplished in a configuration of thermal-steam/water sections, which preheat and evaporate water, and superheat and reheat steam. An example of a coal-fired utility boiler is shown in Fig. 4.4 (the fundamentals of steam production and energy flow were discussed in Chapter 4).
Read MoreAbout OTSG. Once Through Heat Recovery Steam Generators (OTSGs) are the most significant advancement in steam generation in over a century. Until the 1980s, conventional drum boilers were used to produce steam. At about this time, the US Navy investigated the use of combined gas turbine and steam turbine plants for additional ship propulsion power.
