RB Boiler Product Specs

The document describes four types of radiant boilers - the Carolina type, El Paso type, Tower type, and Downshot type. All four have similar steam output capacities ranging from 700,000 lb/h to over 7,000,000 lb/h. They also have similar operating pressures between 1800 to 2600 psi and superheater/reheater outlet temperatures of 1000 to 1050F. The main differences between them are their design features and compatible fuels.

BOILERS AND STEAM GENERATING EQUIPMENT

Radiant Boiler — Carolina Type


RBC
Design features:
Arranged with a natural circulation,
water-cooled dry-bottom furnace,
and superheater, reheater,
economizer and air heater
components — the Carolina design
employs a horizontal convection
pass and vertical pendant heat
transfer surfaces.

Capacity, steam output:


About 700,000 lb/h (88 kg/s) to
a maximum that may exceed
7,000,000 lb/h (880 kg/s).

Pressure:
Subcritical, usually 1800 to 2600 psi
(12.4 to 17.9 MPa) throttle pressure
with 5% overpressure capability. r

Superheater and reheater


outlet temperatures:
As required, usually in the range of
1000 to 1050F (538 to 566C).

Fuel:
Pulverized coal.

8
Radiant Boiler — El Paso Type
RBE
Design features:
Arranged with a water-cooled
hopper-bottom furnace, and
superheater, reheater, economizer
and air heater components — the
El Paso unit provides a compact
design which includes upflow and
downflow horizontal convection
passes.

Capacity, steam output:


About 700,000 lb/h (88 kg/s) to
a maximum that may exceed
7,000,000 lb/h (880 kg/s).

Pressure:
Subcritical, usually 1800 to 2600 psi
(12.4 to 17.9 MPa) throttle pressure
with 5% overpressure capability.

Superheater and reheater


outlet temperatures:
As required, usually in the range
of 1000 to 1050F (538 to 566C).

Fuels:
Natural gas and/or oil, blast furnace
gas, and combustible byproduct
gases.

BOILERS AND STEAM GENERATING EQUIPMENT

Radiant Boiler — Tower Type


RBT
Design features:
Arranged with a water-cooled dry-
bottom furnace, and superheater,
reheater, economizer and air heater
components — the Tower design
employs all horizontal convection
surfaces.

Capacity, steam output:


About 700,000 lb/h (88 kg/s) to
a maximum that may exceed
7,000,000 lb/h (880 kg/s).

Pressure:

with 5% overpressure capability.

Superheater and reheater


outlet temperatures:
As required, usually in the range of
1000 to 1050F (538 to 566C).

Fuels:
Pulverized coal, natural gas, oil.

10
Radiant Boiler — Downshot

Design features:
Arranged with a water-cooled dry-
bottom furnace, and superheater,
reheater, economizer and air heater
components — the Downshot
design features an enlarged,
refractory-lined furnace for low rank
coals resulting in a hotter furnace
to sustain combustion.

Capacity, steam output:


About 700,000 lb/h (88 kg/s) to
a maximum that may exceed
7,000,000 lb/h (880 kg/s).

Pressure:
Subcritical, usually 1800 to 2600 psi
(12.4 to 17.9 MPa) throttle pressure
with 5% overpressure capability.
r

Superheater and reheater


outlet temperatures:
As required, usually in the range of
1000 to 1050F (538 to 566C).

Fuels:
Coals with low volatile matter
content, particularly anthracites,
that are difficult to ignite and burn.
