boiler and pressure vessel engineering

[bo18ki]

i would like to know the working of a mechanism which controls the required movement of a sootblower

There is plenty of information on the internet. For starters, I would Google (using the tool bar above) diamond power.

I've dealt with Clyde Bergemann many times in the past and they're very helpful. Try their site here:

Not an answer to the question but rather, an aside. soot blowers are illegal for use in NYC, as they are in many areas now. Check codes for your area.

cjw81 - so what's the alternative to soot blowing on coal or bunker oil fired boilers?

 

[davefitz]

Not too many coal fired boilers in NYC. Likewise, hi sulphur bunker C not permitted either. But just across the river in Jersey City is the PSEG coal fired station- it has a precipitator to cut down on the ash plume a bit. Chances are they only blow soot at night.

 

[rjoaks]

The PSE&G coal fired plant in Jersey City is able to burn coal, NG or oil. The soot blowers are programed to opperate continuosly when burning coal. The unit is design to operate at full load without an ash plume.
Soot blowers can be design to operate by steam, air or electric motors.
