Abstract: Aiming at the problem of corrosion occurred in the cold ash hopper area of a 600 MW coal-fired boiler after low NOx combustor retrofitting, the cause analysis is conducted in this paper by adopting testing and numerical simulation. The test results show that the volume fractions of H2S and CO have bigger promotion at the primary and reducing zones of the furnace after retrofitting. The temperature field and flow field are analyzed through numerical simulation and the causes of high temperature occurrence are concluded as follows. Due to the palm air volume decreasing, the combustion deteriorates in the burners of Layer A, and the pulverized coal tends to deposit and burn at the bottom of the furnace. Therefore, the high temperature zone is formed. At the same time, lack of oxygen at the bottom of the furnace, and the high volume fraction of gases such as H2S, make it easy to cause high temperature corrosion.
