ABSTRACT
This paper presents a performance evaluation and optimization method of an air preheater based on routine
operation data measured onsite at LANCO-UPCL, Nagarjuna thermal power plant Padubidri, Karnataka, India. The work
focuses on the performance of Regenerative type air pre heater (model LAP 13494/2200). The performances were
evaluated before and after radial sector plate clearance adjustments with air preheater tests, and improvement is seen
along with air preheater optimization.
Keywords: Air pre heater, Air leakage, Gas side efficiency, Seals, X-ratio.
1. INTRODUCTION
Modern high capacity boilers are always provided with an air preheater. Air pre-heater is an important boiler
auxiliary which primarily preheats the combustion air for rapid and efficient combustion in the furnace Serving as the last
heat trap for the boiler system, a regenerative air preheater typically accounts for over 10% of a plants thermal efficiency
on a typical steam generator. Considering this, when evaluating the performance of an air preheater one should take into
account all of the process variables [10].
A very good method to improve the overall efficiency of a thermal power plant is to preheat the air. If the
incoming air for combustion is not preheated, then some energy must be supplied to heat the air to a temperature required
to facilitate combustion. As a result, more fuel will be consumed which increases the overall cost and decreases the
efficiency. There are many factors, which contribute to the deterioration of air preheater performance like high seal
leakage, deterioration of heat absorption characteristics of basket elements due to fouling or plugging. Close monitoring
of air pre heater performance and proper instrumentation would enable timely detection of performance degradation. The
combustion air preheater for the large fuel-burning furnaces used to generate steam in thermal power plants [5].
2. LJUNGSTROM AIR PREHEATER (LAP 13494/2200)
The Ljungstrom air preheater is more widely used than any other type of combustion air preheater in the power
industry, because of its compact design proven performance and reliability, and its fuel flexibility. The model LAP
13494/2200 means a Ljungstrom air preheater with rotor diameter of 13494mm is used in UPCL power plant. The
heights of heating elements of 4 sections are respectively 300mm, 800mm, 800mm and 300mm from top to bottom of the
rotor. The cold end heating elements of 300mm height are made of carbon plate while the hot end heating elements are

c. Steam coil Air heaters (SCAPH) steam supply is kept isolated and gas recirculation dampers if any, are tightly
shut.
d. No mill change over is done during the test.
The test run duration will be the time required to complete two traverses for temperature and gas analysis. Two
separate test crews should sample the gas inlet and outlet ducts simultaneously.
3.2.2 Traverse locations – Gas side
a. The gas inlet traverse plane should be located as close as possible to the air heater inlet. This is done to ensure
that any air ingress from the intervening duct/ expansion joints is not included in air heater performance
assessment.
b. The gas outlet traverse plane should be located at a suitable distance downstream the air heater to allow mixing
of the flow to reduce temperature and o2 stratification. However, it should not be located downstream of other
equipment or access ways that might contribute to air ingress.
3.2.3 Traverse locations – Airside
a. The air inlet traverse plane should be located after any air heating coils and as close as possible to the air heater
inlet. Since the entering air temperature is usually uniform, a single probe with 2 or 3 temperature measurement
points is adequate.
b. The air outlet traverse plane should be located at a suitable distance downstream the air heater to allow mixing
of the flow to reduce the gas stratification as shown in Fig 4.

Tubes numbered 1,2,& 3 are carbon steel 3/8” OD tubes and tube no. 4 is carbon steel 12-15 mm OD. Tubes
numbered 1, 2& 3 are for gas sampling while tube no. 4 is for carrying thermocouple wires for temperature measurement.
d is the flue gas duct width at the test cross-section.
3.2.5 Flue Gas Composition & Temperature
A representative value of flue gas composition (O2 / CO2/ CO) is obtained by grid sampling of the flue gas at
multiple points in a plane perpendicular to the flow at air heater inlet and outlet using a portable gas analyzer. Two
complete sets of data are collected for each traverse plane during each test run to ensure data repeatability.
A typical cross section of the flue gas duct with an 18- point grid is shown in Fig 6. Along with a typical probe.
Each dot indicates a sampling point for measurement of gas composition and temperature.
Fig. 6: Cross section of Flue gas duct [10]
Flue gas samples are drawn by a vacuum pump from the test grid probes and sent to a portable gas analyzer
through a gas conditioning system. Similarly, a representative value of temperature is obtained by grid measurement of
flue gas temperature at multiple points in a plane perpendicular to the flow at air heater inlet and outlet using multi point
probes.
A single tube probe with portable analyzer can also be used for traversing duct cross section. Marking / etching
is done on the sampling tube at d/6, d/2 & 5d/6, if d is the duct depth. The probe is inserted in each port & samples are
drawn at different depths as per markings. Temperatures of flue gas are also measured at the same locations using a
similar single tube temperature probe.

Fig 7 shows typical gas analyzer used in the test to measure oxygen percentage in the flue gas. After completing
the testing of all the ports of a air preheater, calculations can be done as per the following formulae.

Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Current Trends in Engineering and Management ICCTEM -2014 17 – 19, July 2014, Mysore, Karnataka, India 22 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF AIR PREHEATER IN THERMAL POWER PLANT G.Shruti1 , Ravinarayan Bhat2 , Gangadhar Sheri3 1 (Department of Mechanical Engineering, Srinivas Institute of Technology, Mangalore, 574143, Karnataka, India) 2 (Associate professor , Department of Mechanical Engineering, Srinivas Institute of Technology, Mangalore, 574143, Karnataka, India) 3 (AGM Performance, LANCO-UPCL Nagarjuna Thermal Power Plant, Padubidri, Udupi, 574113 Karnataka, India) ABSTRACT This paper presents a performance evaluation and optimization method of an air preheater based on routine operation data measured onsite at LANCO-UPCL, Nagarjuna thermal power plant Padubidri, Karnataka, India. The work focuses on the performance of Regenerative type air pre heater (model LAP 13494/2200). The performances were evaluated before and after radial sector plate clearance adjustments with air preheater tests, and improvement is seen along with air preheater optimization. Keywords: Air pre heater, Air leakage, Gas side efficiency, Seals, X-ratio. 1. INTRODUCTION Modern high capacity boilers are always provided with an air preheater. Air pre-heater is an important boiler auxiliary which primarily preheats the combustion air for rapid and efficient combustion in the furnace Serving as the last heat trap for the boiler system, a regenerative air preheater typically accounts for over 10% of a plants thermal efficiency on a typical steam generator. Considering this, when evaluating the performance of an air preheater one should take into account all of the process variables [10]. A very good method to improve the overall efficiency of a thermal power plant is to preheat the air. If the incoming air for combustion is not preheated, then some energy must be supplied to heat the air to a temperature required to facilitate combustion. As a result, more fuel will be consumed which increases the overall cost and decreases the efficiency. There are many factors, which contribute to the deterioration of air preheater performance like high seal leakage, deterioration of heat absorption characteristics of basket elements due to fouling or plugging. Close monitoring of air pre heater performance and proper instrumentation would enable timely detection of performance degradation. The combustion air preheater for the large fuel-burning furnaces used to generate steam in thermal power plants [5]. 2. LJUNGSTROM AIR PREHEATER (LAP 13494/2200) The Ljungstrom air preheater is more widely used than any other type of combustion air preheater in the power industry, because of its compact design proven performance and reliability, and its fuel flexibility. The model LAP 13494/2200 means a Ljungstrom air preheater with rotor diameter of 13494mm is used in UPCL power plant. The heights of heating elements of 4 sections are respectively 300mm, 800mm, 800mm and 300mm from top to bottom of the rotor. The cold end heating elements of 300mm height are made of carbon plate while the hot end heating elements are INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY (IJMET) ISSN 0976 – 6340 (Print) ISSN 0976 – 6359 (Online) Volume 5, Issue 9, September (2014), pp. 22-30 © IAEME: www.iaeme.com/IJMET.asp Journal Impact Factor (2014): 7.5377 (Calculated by GISI) www.jifactor.com IJMET © I A E M E

Steam coil Air heaters (SCAPH) steam supply is kept isolated and gas recirculation dampers if any, are tightly shut. d. No mill change over is done during the test. The test run duration will be the time required to complete two traverses for temperature and gas analysis. Two separate test crews should sample the gas inlet and outlet ducts simultaneously. 3.2.2 Traverse locations – Gas side a. The gas inlet traverse plane should be located as close as possible to the air heater inlet. This is done to ensure that any air ingress from the intervening duct/ expansion joints is not included in air heater performance assessment. b. The gas outlet traverse plane should be located at a suitable distance downstream the air heater to allow mixing of the flow to reduce temperature and o2 stratification. However, it should not be located downstream of other equipment or access ways that might contribute to air ingress. 3.2.3 Traverse locations – Airside a. The air inlet traverse plane should be located after any air heating coils and as close as possible to the air heater inlet. Since the entering air temperature is usually uniform, a single probe with 2 or 3 temperature measurement points is adequate. b. The air outlet traverse plane should be located at a suitable distance downstream the air heater to allow mixing of the flow to reduce the gas stratification as shown in Fig 4.

Tubes numbered 1, 2& 3 are for gas sampling while tube no. 4 is for carrying thermocouple wires for temperature measurement. d is the flue gas duct width at the test cross-section. 3.2.5 Flue Gas Composition & Temperature A representative value of flue gas composition (O2 / CO2/ CO) is obtained by grid sampling of the flue gas at multiple points in a plane perpendicular to the flow at air heater inlet and outlet using a portable gas analyzer. Two complete sets of data are collected for each traverse plane during each test run to ensure data repeatability. A typical cross section of the flue gas duct with an 18- point grid is shown in Fig 6. Along with a typical probe. Each dot indicates a sampling point for measurement of gas composition and temperature. Fig. 6: Cross section of Flue gas duct [10] Flue gas samples are drawn by a vacuum pump from the test grid probes and sent to a portable gas analyzer through a gas conditioning system. Similarly, a representative value of temperature is obtained by grid measurement of flue gas temperature at multiple points in a plane perpendicular to the flow at air heater inlet and outlet using multi point probes. A single tube probe with portable analyzer can also be used for traversing duct cross section. Marking / etching is done on the sampling tube at d/6, d/2 & 5d/6, if d is the duct depth. The probe is inserted in each port & samples are drawn at different depths as per markings. Temperatures of flue gas are also measured at the same locations using a similar single tube temperature probe.
