Failure Investigation of Boiler Tubes: A Comprehensive Approach
Chapter 6.5: Fire-Side Erosion
-
Published:2018
Abstract
Combustion byproducts such as soot, ash, and abrasive particulates can inflict significant damage to boiler tubes through the cumulative effect of erosion. This chapter examines the types of erosion that occur on the fire side of boiler components and the associated causes. It discusses the erosive effect of blowing soot, steam, and fly ash as well as coal particle impingement and falling slag. It also includes several case studies.
