Sampling, Storage System5.1 In the pulverized coal storage system, the coal afterpulverization is conveyed into bins.5.1.1 Collection of Gross SampleCollect not less than tenincrements of representative pulverized coal preferably as it isbe

18、ing discharged from the collector. This is best accomplishedby collecting increments of not less than 50 g at regularintervals by means of a scoop, dipper, or a device capable ofremoving an increment from a specific location within thestream of pulverized coal. Place the increments in the samplecont

19、ainer and seal.5.1.2 Preparation of the Laboratory SampleA small riffle(Fig. 1) can be used for mixing and dividing the sample bysplitting. An enclosed riffle is preferred. Mix the gross sampleby splitting and recombining the halves a minimum of twotimes. Divide the sample amount by successive riffl

20、e splittingoperations on one half of the sample until the sample is dividedto approximately 500 g for the laboratory sample. To correctlyuse the riffle, the sample must be poured over the side of a pan(a third pan is necessary) and not from an end or corner, norfrom a container such as, a pail or ja

21、r. Transfer the sample toa sample container and seal.5.1.3 As an alternative to riffle mixing and splitting, thesample can be prepared as follows: Place the gross sample ona sheet of rubber, plastic, or paper and mix it by raising first onecorner of the cloth and then the other so as to roll the coa

22、l overand over at least 20 times. After mixing, divide the sample.Continue the operations of mixing and dividing until thesample is divided sufficiently so that all of one of the divisionsweighs approximately 500 g. This shall constitute the labora-tory sample.6. Sampling, Direct-Fired System6.1 In

23、the direct-fired system, the coal is pulverized anddelivered directly to the furnace in an air stream. It is difficultto obtain representative samples, as it is necessary to samplethe coal from a moving stream of coal-air mixture inside thepipe between the pulverizer and furnace. It is preferable to

24、collect such samples from vertical pipes, as in horizontal pipesa greater amount of segregation may take place.6.2 Apparatus for Sample CollectionBecause it is difficultto collect a representative sample of solids from a movingcoal-air stream, it is essential that the equipment and samplingprocedure

25、s are uniformly consistent to assure valid and repro-ducible results. Recommended equipment and sampling ar-rangements are shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Except incircumstances where stationary interferences in the area aroundthe sampling location prohibits the use of the samplingequipment as shown in

26、Fig. 3, changes to the equipment shouldnot be allowed. Changes may produce inconsistent results.6.2.1 Fig. 2 shows the recommended arrangement for sam-pling pulverized coal in a direct-fired system using a dustlesssampling connection with an aspirator and a cyclone collector.In collecting the sample

27、, turn on the compressed air to thedustless connection and adjust to give a balanced pressure atthe connection. Insert the sampling tip into the dustlessconnection with the tip facing directly into the coal-air stream.Readjust the compressed air to give a balanced pressure withthe nozzle inserted. T

28、raverse the fuel transport line across theentire diameter of the pipe by moving at a uniform rate with thetip facing directly into the coal-air stream. The aspirating air onthe cyclone collector may or may not be used, depending onthe static pressure in the fuel transport line, as discussed in6.3.7.

29、6.2.2 Fig. 3 shows detailed dimensions of a recommendedsampling tip. The area of the tip shown is 0.5 by 0.95 in. or0.475 in.2(12.7 by 24.1 mm or 306 mm2), which is theprojected area of the tip facing the coal-air stream. Other tipconfigurations and dimensions can be employed provided theypermit the

30、 collection of an unbiased sample from the coalstream. See Appendix X1.6.3 Collection of Gross Sample:6.3.1 In sampling, it is essential that the velocity into thesampling tip be nearly the same as the velocity in the pipe. Ifthe velocity in the sampling tube is insufficient, the full quotaof the co

31、arse particles will be entrained, but some of the fineparticles that should be caught will follow the air in passingaround the tip. If the velocity in the sampling tube is greater,more than the proper number of fine particles will be drawninto the sampling tip.6.3.2 A procedure for confirming sample

32、 validity is in-cluded in Appendix X4.6.3.3 A sample obtained in a given time should be weighedand compared with the weight of coal passing through the fueltransport line. The weight of the coal passing through the pipemay be determined from the total coal to the pulverizer dividedby number of pipes

33、. The weight of coal passing through thefuel transport line, multiplied by the ratio of the cross-sectionalarea of the sampling tip to that of the pipe, should beapproximately equal to the sample weight (see 6.3.9). Forexample, if a pulverizer has an output of 63 000 lb of coal perhour passing throu

34、gh six lines, and if each line is 15.25 in. (387mm) in inside diameter, with a cross-sectional area of 182.65FIG. 1 Sample Divider (Riffle)D197 87 (2012)2in.2(1170 cm2) and if the standard sampler has a tip opening of0.5 by 0.95 in. (12.7 mm by 24.1 mm) and a cross-sectionalarea of 0.475 in.2(306 mm

35、2), the sample rate per minute with100 % recovery should then be as follows:Sample rate, lb/min = 63 000 lb/h-pulverizer 1 h/60 min 1pulverizer/6 lines 0.475 in.2/sampler/182.65 in.2/line 1 sam-pler/1 line = 0.455 lb/min-line (206 g/min-line)Sampling for a 3-min period should then be 1.37 lb (618 g)

36、for 100 % recovery.6.3.4 If the recovery is between 90 and 110 %, the sampleshall be considered satisfactory as to collection rate for the pipeand flow velocities. See Appendix X2.6.3.5 After taking one or two samples and weighing themfor confirmation, the collector vent control can be adjusted togi

37、ve a recovery within the 90 and 110 % limits. Discard thosesamples that do not meet the recovery limits.6.3.6 If the static pressure in the fuel transport line is so highthat the recovery is above 110 % with all aspirator air shut off,throttle the flow from the cyclone to reduce the recovery to thed

38、esired range between 90 and 110 %. This can be done byinstalling a valve or orifice at the cyclone collector ventdischarge (see Fig. 2).6.3.7 Samples shall be taken by carefully traversing at leasttwo complete diameters 90 apart. Two common samplingmethods are the continuous transversing technique o

39、r the equalarea method. If preliminary samples taken at each individualline show wide variations in fineness and recovery, betterFIG. 2 Recommended Arrangement for Sampling Pulverized Coal in a Direct-Fired SystemD197 87 (2012)3locations should be used. The location shall preferably be in avertical

40、pipe as far as possible from preceding bends, changesof cross section, or valves. A distance of seven to ten times thepipe diameter is desirable. Sampling connections shall becleared of accumulated coal before taking samples.6.3.8 Precautions should be taken to keep the samples abovethe water dew po

41、int during collection.6.3.9 When the sampling points are in the pipes and apulverizer has two or more pipes, the total weight of thesamples from all the pipes should be compared with total coalweight to check the recovery, as explained in 6.3.2-6.3.4.6.3.10 When the air velocity and static pressure

42、in each fueltransport line are nearly equal, the same cyclone throttle settingand the same air pressure at the aspirator should give about thesame sample tip velocity. Then, even if the coal is not equallydistributed in the several pipes, duplicate cyclone throttlesettings should result in samples f

43、rom each pipe that will beapproximately proportional in weight to the coal distribution,but the total should be between 90 and 110 % of the propor-tional total coal flow. Samples at each point should be taken forequal time periods and not by equal amounts collected. Eachsample may be sieved separate

44、ly and the weighted averageused to obtain the average fineness of the pulverizer output orthe samples may be thoroughly mixed and one sieve determi-nation made of the mixture, since the sample from each linerepresents the proper proportion of the pulverizer output.6.3.11 In storage systems, take sam

45、ples at the outlet of thecyclone collector. If the sampling location is under suction,provide the container with a cover that can be closed before itis withdrawn from the sampling connection.6.3.12 The fineness of pulverized coal samples taken in astorage system shall be either the weighted average

46、of thefineness of all samples taken during the test or the fineness ofthe composite sample.NOTE 1The collection of a valid representative sample requires bothproperly maintained equipment and close attention to details by thesamplers. The collection is best accomplished by one person actuallysamplin

47、g, assisted by a person to facilitate equipment and samplehandling.7. Fineness Test7.1 Drying SampleAir-dry the entire laboratory sample ina drying oven at 18 to 27F (10 to 15C) above roomtemperature. Continue the drying until the loss in weight is notmore than 0.1 %/h.7.2 Dividing the SampleAfter a

48、ir-drying, divide thesample amount to 50 to 100 g as described in 5.1.2 and 5.1.3.7.3 Sieve Test:7.3.1 Select the proper sieve sizes for the test and thor-oughly clean each by carefully brushing and tapping to assurethat no solid particles from previous tests are trapped in themeshes. Nest the sieve

49、s together with the coarsest mesh at thetop and in descending order with the finest mesh at the bottom.Set a pan receiver at the bottom of the nest to receive theundersize. Place 45 to 55 g of coal weighed to 60.05 g on thetop sieve and cover with a fitted cover to prevent loss.7.3.2 Place the assembled set into the sieving machine andmake the necessary adjustments for the sieving operation.Adjust the timer for a 10-min period and start the machine. Forhand sieving alternative, see Appendix X3.7.3.3 At the end of the sieving period, remove the st
