Pneumatic dense-phase shipboard coal and ash conveying storage and bunkering systems for coal-fired ships (technical application manual). Final report Mar 81-May 82

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6486351
The report provides descriptions and illustrations of the equipment used in pneumatic coal and ash conveying. Also, included are detailed descriptions of the differences between non-fluidizing dense-phase conveying and fluidizing type conveying systems. The discussions about onboard coal conveying systems describe the procedures for selecting dense-phase equipment sizes and capacities; selecting equipment and piping materials to obtain maximum life; designing bunkers, hoppers, and feed chutes; evaluating the quantities of coal conveying systems required between bunkers, hoppers, and the boilers; evaluating the quantities and sizes of dust filters for the coal storage structures; and sizing the air compressor/air storage tank system serving the ship's coal and ash conveying equipment.
