Furnace : A boiler furnace is that space under or adjacent to a boiler in which fuel is burned and from which the combustion products pass into the boiler proper. It provides a chamber in which the combustion reaction can be isolated and confined so that the reaction remains a controlled force. In addition it provides support or enclosure for the firing equipment. Boiler Drum : The function of boiler drum is to separate the water from the steam generated in the furnace walls and to reduce the dissolved solid contents of the steam to below the prescribed limit of 1 ppm. The drum is located on the upper front of boiler. Economizer : The purpose of economizer is to preheat the boiler feed water before it is introduced into the drum by recovering heat from the flue gases leaving the boiler. The economizer is located in the boiler rear gas pass below the rear horizontal super heater. Superheater : There are three stages of superheater besides the side walls and extended side walls. The first stage consists of horizontal superheater of convection mixed flow type with upper and lower banks located above economizer assembly in the rear pass. The upper bank terminates into hanger tubes which are connected to outlet header of the first stage superheater. The second stage superheater consists of pendant platen which is of radiant parallel flow type. The third stage superheater pendant space is of convection parallel flow type. Reheater: The function of Reheater is to reheat the steam coming out from high pressure turbine. The reheater is composed of two sections. The front pendant section and rear pendant section. Burners : There are total twenty four pulverized coal burners for corner fired boilers and twelve oil burners provided each in between two pulverized fuel burners. An evident from name itself, these are used for burning pulverized coal or oil. Ignitors : There are twelve igniters per boiler. The atomizing air for igniters is taken from plant air compressors at 7 kg /cm2 (gauge) Fig-1 shows a symbolic arrangement of various accessories of a 210 MW Boiler.
