    1) Coal contains some oxygen that contributes to combustion in boilers, but additional air is required and supplied through fans. 2) Excess air beyond the theoretical amount is needed to ensure full combustion within the short residence time and helps reduce losses. However, excess air increases dry flue gas losses and fan loading. 3) Measuring oxygen levels at the air heater outlet can be misleading if air ingresses into the boiler downstream, as this air does not contribute to combustion but indicates higher oxygen. This can lead to improperly reducing air flow to the boiler.

    AIR INGRESS ZONES

    Some oxygen is available in coal as one of its

    constituent. Additional oxygen requirement


    is met from supply of atmospheric air to the
    boiler through fans. The quantum of air so
    calculatediscalledastheoreticalair.Inorder
    to provide sufficient opportunity for fuel to
    combine with requisite amount of oxygen,
    within stipulated short residence time, it
    becomes necessary to supply additional air,
    over and above the theoretical Air. This is
