The Effectiveness of Complex Retrofitting of the End Part of Pulverized-Fuel Boilers in Operation

A promising way of raising the efficiency of steam-turbine plants in operation by retrofitting the end parts of the steam boilers using finned-tube heating surfaces for the purpose is proposed. A number of engineering solutions using this method are comparatively analyzed. The proposed retrofitting procedures are shown to offer a great variety of solutions; they are versatile and more efficiently use material resources for reequipment of thermal power stations.
