Energy Saving methods with typical examples and exercises for power
stations
2
General • Undertake regular Energy Audits. • Plug all Oil Leakages. • Leakage of one drop of oil per second amounts
to a loss of over 2000 liters/year. • Filter Fuel oil in stages.• Impurities in Fuel oil affect combustion. • Pre-heat the oil. (Reduces viscocity)• For proper combustion, oil should be at right
viscosity at the burner tip.Better atomisation.
3
General • Provide adequate Pre-heat capacity for fuel oil.• Incomplete combustion leads to wastage of fuel.• Observe the colour of smoke emitted from
chimney. • Black smoke indicates improper combustion and
fuel wastage. • White smoke indicates excess air & hence loss of
heat. • Hazy brown smoke indicates proper combustion.• Use of Low air pressure “film burners” helps save
oil up-to 15% in furnaces.
4
Furnace• Recover & utilize waste heat from furnace flue gas
for preheating of combustion air. (Air-pre-heater)• Every 21°C rise in combustion air temperature results
in 1% fuel oil savings. • Control excess air in furnaces. • A 10% drop in excess air amounts to 1% saving of fuel
in furnaces. • For an annual consumption of 3000 kl. of furnace oil.• This means a saving of Rs 3 Lacs. (Cost of furnace oil-
Rs. 10 per litre).
5
Furnace• Reduce heat losses through furnace openings.• Observations show that a furnace operating at a
temperature of 1000°C having an open door (1500mm*750mm) results in a fuel loss of 10 lit/hr.
• For a 4000 hrs. furnace operation this translates into a loss of approx. Rs. 4 Lacs per year.
• Improve insulation if the surface temperature exceeds 20°C above ambient.
• Studies have revealed that heat loss form a furnace wall 115mm thick at 650°C amounting to 2650 Kcal/m2/hr can be cut down to 850 kcal/m2/he by using 65 mm thick insulation on the 115 mm wall.
6
Boiler• Remove soot deposits when flue gas
temperature rises 40°C above the normal.• A coating of 3mm thick soot on the heat
transfer surface can cause an increase in fuel consumption of as much as 2.5%.
• Recover heat from steam condense.• For every 6°C rise in boiler feed water
temperature through condensate return, there is 1% saving in fuel.
7
• Improve boiler efficiency.• Boilers should be monitored for flue gas losses,
radiation losses, incomplete combustion, blow down losses, excess air etc.
• Proper control can decrease the consumption up-to 20%.
• Use only treated water in boilers.• A scale formation of 1mm thickness on the waterside
would increase fuel consumption by 5-8%.
• Stop steam leakage. • Steam leakage from a 3 mm-diameter hole on a
pipeline carrying steam at 7kg/cm2 would waste 32 kl of fuel oil per year amounting to a loss of Rs. 3 Lacs.
8
• Maintain steam pipe insulation.• It has been estimated that a bare steam pipe,
150 mm in diameter and 100m in length, carrying saturated steam at 8kg/cm2 would waste 25 kl of furnace oil in a year amounting to an annual loss of Rs. 2.5 Lacs.
• Frequently, insulation is not restored after maintenance work.
9
D.G. Sets• Maintain diesel engines regularly. • A poorly maintained injection pump increases fuel
consumption by 4Gms/KWH. • A faulty nozzle increases fuel consumption by
2Gms/KWH. • Blocked filters increase fuel consumption by 2Gms/KWH. • A continuously running DG set can generate 0.5 Ton/Hr
of steam at 10 to 12 bars from the residual heat of the engine exhaust per MW of the generator capacity.
• Measure fuel consumption per KWH of electricity generated regularly.
• Take corrective action in case this shows a rising trend.
10
Electrical Energy Conservation
• Improve power factor by installing capacitors to reduce KVA demand charges and also line losses.
• Improvement of power factor from 0.85 to 0.96 will give 11.5% reduction of peak KVA.
• And 21.6% reduction in peak losses.• This corresponds to 14.5% reduction in
average losses for a load factor of 0.8.
11
12
• Avoid repeated rewinding of motors.• Observations show that rewound motors
practically have an efficiency loss of up-to 5%. • This is mainly due to increase in no load
losses.• Hence use such rewound motors on low duty
cycle applications only. • Use variable frequency drives, and fluid
couplings for variable speed applications such as fans, pumps etc.
• This helps in minimizing consumption.
13
Illumination• Electronic ballast in place of conventional choke
saves energy up-to 20%. • CFL lamp in place of GLS lamp can save energy up-
to 70%.• Clean the lamps & fixtures regularly. • Illumination levels fall by 20-30% due to collection
of dust. • Use of 36W tube-light instead of 40 W tube-light
saves electricity by 8 to 10%. • Use of sodium vapour lamps for area lighting in
place of Mercury vapour lamps saves electricity up-to 40%.
14
Compressed Air
• Compressed air is very energy intensive.• Only 5% of electrical energy are converted to useful
energy. • Use of compressed air for cleaning is rarely justified. • Ensure low temperature of inlet air.• Increase in inlet air temperature by 3°C increases
power consumption by 1%. • It should be examined whether air at lower
pressure can be used in the process. • Reduction in discharge pressure by 10% saves
energy consumption up-to 5%.
15
• A leakage from a ½” diameter hole from a compressed air line working at a pressure of 7kg/cm2 can drain almost Rs. 2500 per day.
• Air output of compressors per unit of electricity input must be measured at regular intervals.
• Efficiency of compressors tends to deteriorate with time.
16
Refrigeration & Air Conditioning• Double doors, automatic door closers, air
curtains, double glazed windows, polyester sun films etc. reduce heat ingress and air-conditioning load of buildings.
• Maintain condensers for proper heat exchange. • A 5°C decrease in evaporator temperature
increases the specific power consumption by 15%.
• Utilisation of air-conditioned/refrigerated space should be examined and efforts made to reduce cooling load as far as possible.
17
• Utillise waste heat of excess steam or flue gases to change over from gas compression systems to absorption chilling systems and save energy costs in the range of 50-70%.
• Specific power consumption of compressors should be measured at regular intervals.
• The most efficient compressors to be used for continuous duty and others on standby.
18
Cooling Towers
• Replacement of inefficient aluminium or fabricated steel fans by moulded FRP fans with aerofoil designs results in electricity savings in the range of 15%.
• A study on a typical 20ft. diameter fan revealed that replacing wooden blade drift eliminators with newly developed cellular PVC drift eliminators reduces the drift losses from 0.01-0.02% with a fan power energy saving of 10%.
• Install automatic ON-OFF switching of cooling tower fans and save up-to 40% on electricity costs.
• Use of PVC fills in place of wooden bars results in a saving in pumping power of up-to 20%.
19
Pumps• Improper selection of pumps can lead to large
wastage of energy. • A pump with 85% efficiency at rated flow may have
only 65% efficiency at half the flow. • Use of throttling valves instead of variable speed
drives to change flow of fluids is a wasteful practice.• Throttling can cause wastage of power to the tune
of 50 to 60%. • It is advisable to use a number of pumps in series
and parallel to cope with variations in operating conditions by switching on or off pumps rather than running one large pump with partial load.
20
• Drive transmission between pumps & motors is very .
• important. Loose belts can cause energy loss up-to 1-20%.
• Modern synthetic flat belts in place of conventional V-belts can save 5% to 10% of energy.
• Properly organized maintenance is very important. Efficiency of worn out pumps can drop by 10-15% unless maintained properly.

WHY A.P.C.Reduction ????
• A TPS is like any other factory.• A TPS has to handle the INPUTS and discharge the
OUTPUTS of its process of power generation.• COAL – AIR – WATER are the inputs .• FLUE GASES – ASH – are the outputs.• Fans – Pumps –Crushers –Conveyors – Feeders etc.
are needed to handle these.• These auxiliaries use a motor as the prime mover.• The motors consume part of the electricity produced.• The export of power is reduced by Auxy. Consmn.

Efficiency – Loading of the Plant
• If the auxiliaries do not work efficiently, they will consume more power.
• This will reduce the export and the Efficiency of the plant as a whole.
• Proper maintenance of the auxiliaries will reduce APC.• Every auxiliary has a no-load power consumption.• When it runs at less capacity than design, then %
consumption will be high.• Hence the need to run the PLANT at OPTIMUM
capacity.
38
Reasons for inefficiency
• Auxiliary not running as designed.• Due to wear and tear in operation.(Neck Rings)• Worn Grinding elements, fan blades.• Dampers not functioning properly• Inadequate Loading on the TG Set.• Deposition of soot / ash on heat transfer surfaces.• Water side deposition on tubes of Boiler / Condensor.• Poor D.M. water chemistry.• Poor Cooling water chemistry and Poor C.W. system.• Poor vacuum condition.

EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT CAN GIVE YOU For an average increase of 1 % in the Efficiency
would result in:-
Coal savings of approx. 11 million tons per annum worth Rs.13,000 Million
CO2 reduction about 13.5 million tons per annum Lower generation cost per kWh- as more efficient
the unit works, the more economical it is 1% increase in efficiency for 210 Mw unit with
heat rate 2335 kcal/kwh means heat rate improvement to 2275 kcal/kwh
50
MAJOR CAUSE OF INEFFICENCY IN POWER PLANT
• High Flue gas exit Temp• Excessive amount of excess air(O2)• Poor Mill/Burners performance causing high
unburnt carbon in fly and bottom ash• Poor insulation• Poor house Keeping• Poor instrumentation and automation
51
MAJOR CAUSE OF INEFFICENCY IN POWER PLANT (Cont…)
• Not running the units on design parameter• Heaters not in service or poor performance of
regenerative system• Poor condenser vacuum• Excessive DM water consumption- passing and
leakages• Use of Reheat spray to control Reheat
Temperature• Poor Cylinder Efficiency of turbine
52
CONTROLLABLE PLANT PARAMETERS
• M.S. & R.H. Steam Temperatures• M.S. Steam Pressure• Condenser Vacuum• Final Feed Water Temperature• DP Across Feed Regulation Station• Auxiliary Power Consumption• Make Up Water Consumption
53
SYNERGIZE OPERATIONOF UNIT
Need to clearly understand the relation between performance & fuel, operation and design parameters
Operational behavior and performanceImpacts of operating efficiency of Boiler, Turbine and
their auxiliaries on Net Unit Heat RateMaximum Achievable Load, Maintenance &Availability
54
SOME CRITICAL FACTORS AFFECTING BOILER PERFORMANCE
• Fuel:- Heating Value, Moisture Contents, Ash Composition, Ash Contents,& Volatile Matter.
• Operational Parameter:- Level of Excess Air, & operating Condition of Burner Tilt Mechanism.
• Design:- Heating input per plan area, Height of Boiler, Platens & pendants heat transfer Surfaces, Burner & wind Box design.
55
BEHAVIOURAL IMPACTS• Low heat value results in over firing of fuel causing more heat availability
for super heater and re-heater thus more attempration spray requirement. Hence increase in THR, overloading of ash handling system, fans and increased soot blowing
• Moisture content increase causes increase in heat transfer to S.H, and R.H. Hence again increase in attempration spray and THR (Turbine Heat Rate)
• Ash composition and contents increases damage to pressure parts surfaces because of melting behavior of low fusion ash temperature of blended coal in particular
• In consistency in fired fuel characteristics results in variation in excess air requirement thereby increasing stack loss and hence boiler efficiency reduction, overloading of ID Fan and ultimately unit load limitation
• High heat value causes excessive radiant heat transfer to water walls thereby leaving lesser heat for super heater and re-heater
• .
56
Normally excess air ranges from 15% to 30% of stoichiometric air.
• High O2 % and presence of CO at ID Fan outlet are indicator of air in leakages and improper combustion in furnace
• Poorly effective damper control also is the cause of higher SEC of fans both primary and secondary
• The quality and purity of feed water and make up water is
also required to be maintained in a meticulous way by limiting blow down losses to nearly 1% and by checking the passing and leakages of valves. However, maximum 3% of flow can be taken as make up for these causes including soot blowing requirements
• Soot blowing is dependent on ash contents and is unit specific. Intelligently devised soot blowing can result in saving the fuel
BEHAVIOURAL IMPACTS
57
• Cascading effects on efficiency, loading and availability because of following systems and equipments performance also needed to be looked into. The systems are:-Fuel receiving, preparation and handling systems.Pulverizing systemAir HeaterFansElectrostatic PrecipitatorFly ash handling systemBottom ash handling systemWaste disposal system
BEHAVIOURAL IMPACTS
58
PERFORMANCE IMPACTS ON STEAM CYCLE , UNIT HEAT RATE & OUTPUT
• Various design & operating parameters of a unit are responsible for its cycle performance, heat rate,& out put
59
CRITICAL FACTORS AFFECTING CYCLE PERFORMANCE
1. Re-heater & its system pressure drop2. Extraction line pressure drop3. Make up4. Turbine exhaust pressure5. Air preheat6. Condensate sub-cooling7. S/H & R/H spray flows8. Wet Bulb Temp9. Top Heaters out of service10. H.P. heater drain pump11. Type of BFP drives & method of flow control
60
RH & ITS SYSTEM PRESSURE DROP….
• Every one 1% decrease in drop can improve THR and output by 0.1% & 0.3% respectively
• Normally designed for pressure drop equivalent to 10% of HP exhaust pressure
• Causes are Feed Heater abnormalities R/H safety valve passing
61
EXTRACTION LINE PRESSURE DROP…
• Permissible pressure drop between stage pressure & Shell pressure is maximum 6%
• For every 2% increase in this pressure drop, THR would be poorer by 0.09%
62
CYCLE MAKE-UP….
• Acceptable value of make up water is 3% to offset cycle water losses
• For every 1% increase in make up 0.4% increase in THR & 0.2% reduction on output is there
63
EXHAUST PRESSURE…
• Increase & decrease in exhaust pressure do affect the THR.
• Though no valid thumb rule has been devised so far, however last stage blade design & exhaust area of turbine do affect the impact of changing exhaust pressure.
64
AIR PRE-HEAT….
• Air preheating of combustion air before entry to regenerative air heater is done with either steam coil air pre - heater or hot water pre heating coil to maintain Average Cold End Temperature (ACET) to escape dew point temperature complications
• Condensate retrieval is necessary to avoid deterioration to THR depending upon unit load and combustion pre heating duty
65
CONDENSATE SUB-COOLING…
• For 30% total flow and 2.5 deg C sub-cooling ,an increase of 0.001% in THR can be there for every subsequent 10% increase in flow
66
R.H & S.H. SPRAY FLOW…
• Spray water whether drawn from BFP or after the final heater, it is always less the generative and less productive as well
• Every 1% spray flow, correction need to be done in THR & load computed from the curves supplied with the machine
67
TOP HEATER OUT OF SERVICE….
• Extraction steam flow meant for top heater is required to pass through turbine thereby increasing the output.
• But at the same time final feed water temp. Is lowered resulting in poor THR.
• The % loss increases from lowest stage (.5 to .6 ) to highest stage (1.2 to 1.5%)
• Roughly each Deg C in TTD will result in a loss of 0.25% efficiency.
68
PERFORMANCE MONITORING
• Analyze the poor efficiency areas from previous record
• Go down to specific system and then to component• Carry out performance/diagnostic study as suggested
in the Auditing Manual & operating manual• Devise a unit specific efficiency control sheet for few
terminal conditions (Act vs Des)• Monitor once per shift to know the operating
efficiency and check any deterioration
69
Coal Handling Plant• Coal Crushers-• If significant quantity of coal >20 mm size is observed
on down side of crusher then it may led to substantial decrease in mill performance.
• Identification of combination of various least power consuming equipmen and recommending merit order operation.
• Use of natural daylight through conveyor galleries and use of fire resistant translucent sheet.
70
Soft Starters- V.F.D.
• Explore Installation of power saver device in major LT motors. (Conveyor belt etc.):
• Major HT /LT motors i.e. conveyors, crushers etc. are often partially loaded & also there is frequent starts /stops.
• Explore the possibility of providing power saver devices (soft starters) in major motors.
71
Power Factor of Motors.
• Power factor correction possibility: Induction motors may have vey low power factor, leading to lower overall efficiency. Capacitors connected in parallel with the motor are used to improve the power factor. The PF correction reduces KVA demand, reduced I2R losses in cable upstream of capacitor, reduced voltage drop in cables (leading to improved voltage regulation), and an increase in the overall efficiency of the plant electrical system.
72
Chemicals for Dust Suppression
• Explore the possibility of using chemicals for reduced water spray:
• Mixing of chemical compounds in water provides much better atomization of water spray, by reduction in surface tension of water.
• Thus for the given application of dust suppression, lesser quantity of water is sprayed which also results into lesser wastage of latent heat in the steam generator.
73
Use of Bull Dozers ?
• Maximum Mechanical Handling: Minimum Bulldozing: Receipt, unloading, stacking and reclaiming and the selection of machinery should be such that all the handling operations are accomplished without the use of semi mechanized means like bulldozers which are more energy intensive equipment.
• When coal is stocked in yard for more than incubation period (duration between coal mined and getting self ignited), special precautions like compacting water spraying must be taken.
•
74
Bunkering Frequency
• Reduced Number of Fillings:• Live storage capacity of raw coal bunkers and the
filling pattern of bunkers is so planned that,• 24 hours coal requirement of the generating units is
met by not more than two fillings per day. • This will eliminate frequent starting and stopping of
the CHP system.
75
Electric Motors
1. Induction Motors. (Wound Rotor, Squirrel Cage Rotor)2. Direct Current Motors.3. Synchronous Motors.
Motor Speed (RPM) = 120 x Frequency /No.of Poles.If f=50 c/s, Then motors speeds will be 2 pole = 3000 rpm; 6 pole = 1000 rpm4 pole = 1500 rpm; 8 pole = 750 rpm.10 pole =600 rpm; 12 pole = 500 rpm.
76
Slip
Actual motor speed of an Induction Motor is less than the synchronous speed.The difference is called slip.Slip (%) = (S.S.-F.L.S) x 100 / S.S.S.S. = Synchronous Speed F.L.S.= Full Load Speed.Power Factor = KW / KVA = Cos. ФIf SS = 1500; and FLS = 1440; then ,Slip (%) = (1500 – 1440) x 100 / 1500= 4 %.
77
Motor Efficiency and p.f.
Efficiency = Mech. Power Output / Electrical InputPower factor – like in inductive loads , is less than one.So for same real power the current drawn will be more for the lower power factor.High efficiency and p.f. close to unity for efficient overall plant operation.Squirrel Cage motors are more efficient.Similarly, higher speed, higher rating, and better cooling result in better efficiency.
78
LossesIntrinsic losses depend on the design.Fixed losses = magnetic core loss + Friction + Windage.Variable losses depend upon load =Cu.Loss in Stator +Cu.Loss in Rotor + Stray losses.Part load performance also depends upon design.Efficiency and p.f. are low at lower loads.No load test – Rated voltage is applied and motor is brought to full speed. Note the following:- (i)Input power,(ii)Current ,(iii) frequency,(iv)Voltage.Input Power at No-Load = Stator Cu.loss +[Friction
+Windage]
79
Friction & Windage (F & W)losses
If we plot No-load input versus Input voltage, the intercept will be F&W (Friction & Windage)component.Also,F&W and Core loss = Input Power – Stator Cu.Loss.Stator & Rotor Cu.Loss –Stator resistance measured by bridge or Volt-Amp method.Resistance must be corrected for temperature.R2/R1 = (235+t2)/ (235 + t1)*t1 – Ambient temperature in deg.C.*t2 –Operating temperature in deg.C.
80
Rotor Resistance & Cu.Loss
Rotor resistance can be determined by Locked Rotor test at reduced frequency.However Rotor Cu.Loss is measured from measurement of slip, by Stroboscope or Tachometer.Rotor Cu.Loss = Slip x (Stator Input – Stator Cu.Loss –
Core loss )Stray Load Losses IS & IEC take it as 0.5% of output.IEEE Table-for stray losses-1 - 125 HP –1.8% 125 – 500 HP – 1.5%500 – 2500 HP –1.2 % Above 2500 HP – 0.9%
81

Comments –Measurement of stray losses is very difficult. Actual stray losses for motors below 200 HP may be 1% - 3 %.Slip from name plate data is not accurate.Actual speed should be measured.When a motor is rewound, resistance per phase may increase due to material quality.Losses will increase.Calculate losses if winding resistance increases by 10% per phase.
84
Energy Efficient Motors (EEM)To improve Efficiency, the Losses must be reduced.Stator & Rotor Cu.Loss – 55% to 60% 0f total losses.Suitable cross section of conductors will reduce resistance.To reduce motor current, the flux density has to be lowered.For this the air gap has to be minimum permissible.Rotor Cu.Loss can be reduced by selecting Copper bars in stead of Aluminum bars.Reducing the Slip will also reduce Rotor Cu.Loss as it is a function of Slip.Motor running closer to Synchronous speed will be more efficient. Core Loss due to hysterisis and eddy currents.These are independent of load. And are about 2-025% of total losses.Use of thinner laminations for core reduces this loss.
85
Loss reduction . . . . . Friction & windage loss –8-12 % of total losses.These are also independent of load.When Cu. Losses in Stator & Rotor are reduced, less heat is generated. Then Smaller cooling fans can be used to reduce windage.Proper bearings and lubrication reduces friction loss.Stray load losses. – Are proportional to Square of load current.These are caused by LEAKAGE FLUX induced by the load current in the laminations and are 4-5 % of total losses.Careful selection of slot numbers, tooth / slot geometry and air-gap reduce these losses.
86
Factors affecting Efficiency
Quality of Input Power.Actual voltage and Frequency.B.I.S. specifies voltage variation of +/- 6% and frequency variation of +/- 3% in which the motor should deliver its rated output.Greater fluctuations are observed in our system and badly affect the motor performance.Voltage un-balance i.e. voltages in 3 phases not being equal are more detrimental to motor performance and its life.Any single phase loads must be distributed equally among all three phases. OR,Single phase loads should be fed from a separate line/transformer.

INSULATION
Keep the insulation DRY.Heat loss through wet insulation can be 30 times more.Conductivity of wet insulation is much higher than that of dry insulation.
95
Steam Tapping must be from the top of the pipe.Otherwise condensate may also flow out with the steam and affect the process.
96
Condensate in steam line can accumulate and cause hammering.It also erodes the bends.
Erosion seen in secondary condensate lines.Not in Steam or Water lines.
97
Recover Heat in FLASH Steam
Flash steam may be only 10-15%
but it holds nearly 50 % heat.
This heat must be recovered to
improve efficiency.
98
Drain size must be properly selectedIn adequate sized pipe will not drain drain away the condensate fully.This will affect the process.Drain pockets are useful for effective draining.
99
Avoid group tapping of Dains
High pressure drain may block the draining of other drains.

Steam Heating V/s Thermic Fluid
1 Kg of steam is equal to 27 Kg of thermic fluid for
the same amount of heat transfer.
Steam carries latent heat which is a major part of
total heat in the steam.
Thermic Fluids carry only sensible heat.
Smaller heat exchangers are possible with steam.
103
SATURATED V/S SUPERHEATED STEAM
Superheated steam has to first cool to saturation temperature and
then it can give up its latent heat by condensing.
Thus the heat transfer coefficient of superheated steam is lower than of saturated steam which does not have to lose any sensible heat before condensing.
Thus use of saturated steam is preferable.

AUXY CONSUMPTION
Factors-•Plant Layout-• C.H.P. , A.H.P. , W.T.P. ETC.•Bhusawal TPS has two stage pumping of ash slurry.•Parli TPS water is pumped in two stages from 20 Km. Distance.
/mydocuments/adp/npti/auxyConsmn. 107
• WTP for Koradi & Khaperkheda TPS is situated at opposite side from the water source.
• Some TPS have two stage coal crushing in CHP.
/mydocuments/adp/npti/auxyConsmn. 108
Condition of Auxy.
Similar P.A. Fans draw different current for same load.(Air flow)Boiler feed pumps are not opened until a pump fails.Coal mills loading is different for same coal feeding.These indicate loss of efficiency.Maintenance spares must be selected wisely.Cheap spares may prove costly in the long run.Purpose of maintenance should be restoring original efficiency of the auxy and not just restoring it back in service.
/mydocuments/adp/npti/auxyConsmn. 109
Availability of Key auxy.s
•Oil Burners-•Coal Mills•Hot P.A. fans.

Use of Design capacity•C.H.P.- Loading of conveyor belts. •Poor loading will result in more running time of CHP.•Inadequate belt maintenance –More power consumption.•A.H.P. – Wet slurry disposal- •If slurry concentration is poor, running hours will increase.•Boiler & Gas ducts – Excessive air ingress will overload I.D.Fans and finally reduce generation.•Filters – Choking affects power consumption/Output.•Condenser cleanliness- Higher D.P. Power loss.

Coal Mills - Pulverisers
Performance depends upon air flow.Air flow may be less due to 1. Blocked air inlet. This may be due to i) Broken scrapper. Accumulation of coal in air path.ii) Incorrect throat gap.iii) Incorrect gap at inverted cone2. Clogged classifier.Close attention to these is necessary.
