Abstract: It is worth to study the thermal calculation method of the multi-path horizontal circulating fluidized bed boiler due to the insufficient experimental and practical data of the particle movement, combustion, and heat transfer in a multi-path circulating fluidized bed boiler. In this paper, the thermal calculation model based on material balance and energy balance is established according to the characteristics of a multi-path horizontal circulating fluidized bed (MPHCFB) boiler. The calculation methods of the separator efficiency, combustion fraction, and heat transfer coefficient for MPHCFB boilers are determined. A production MPHCFB boiler is calculated with the proposed thermal calculation model. The material distribution, temperature distribution, and heat distribution in the furnace are obtained. By comparing the calculation results with the industrial test data of the boiler, the thermal calculation results are in line with the actual operation of the boiler. This work presents an engineering-oriented method for the thermal calculation of an MPHCFB boiler. It can provide theoretical reference for the design and modification of industrial boilers in energy-saving and emission-reduction.

Key words: multi-path horizontal circulating fluidized bed (MPHCFB), boiler, thermal calculation, material balance, energy balance
