Mill Inerting Systems Presentation to the ASBCUG
In the example below, which is typical, Mill air flow is held constant at 140,000 Lbs./Hr. at coal flows <78,000 Lbs./Hr. to maintain minimum burner line of 3,500 Fpm. A common assumption is that at full load coal flows, air to fuel ratio us too low for preignition of coal or below the explosive or combustible range inside the coal mill.
