Grate firing

Grate firing

Grate firing was the first combustion system used for solid fuels. It now is used mainly for burning waste and biomass, but also for smaller coal furnaces.

* Capacities 0.3 to 175 MWth in industry and CHP
* Fuel fired per grate area 1-2 MW/m2, maximum grate area 100 m2
* Grates are typical only suitable for coarse particles, for fine particles a spreader is required, increases max. capacity
* Primary air through the grate (also used for cooling) and secondary air

Types

;Travelling grate:A moving grate which is covered with a fuel layer, 10-30 cm. Power control by means of varying the grate velocity

;Reciprocating grate:For ash-rich, low calorific fuels like municipal waste, arrangement of stationary and moving grates -> conveying and mixing (forward-moving type or reverse-action grate)

;Vibrating grate:Water cooled membrane wall, with holes for air. For burning coal or wood.

ee also

* fluidised bed firing
* circulating bed
* bubbling bed
* pulverized fuel firing
