A first analysis on the effect of steam parameters on the size and configuration of Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boilers is presented. Resulting data, first in published literature, would designers and users to appreciate the influence of steam parameters on the overall design of CFB boilers. Unlike conventional Pulverized Coal (PC) boilers, CFB boilers do not have a data base of the impact of steam parameters on the furnace size. The present works fill this gap in design knowledge. The analysis used an Expert system to investigate effect of different steam cycles ranging from small capacity, low pressure boilers without reheat to large capacity, high pressure reheat boilers. On the basis of this study a general guide for the design of CFB boilers for different steam cycle specifications is developed.
