The coal mill is operated as an air-swept mill and "blows" directly into the combustion zone of the steam boiler, via a pipeline connection. In case of an explosion, normally as consequence of ignition within the mill chamber, there will be explosion propagation towards the boiler. The combustion "cloud" will propagate to where it finds ...
Due to its fine particles and volatile nature, coal dust poses a significant explosion hazard. Mechanism of Coal Dust Explosions. A coal dust explosion occurs when fine coal particles become airborne and come into contact with an ignition source in an enclosed or confined space. The explosion hazard is magnified by the following factors:
The explosion proof valve for a coal mill is designed to contain the explosion pressure within the mill and prevent it from entering the environment. It works by using a pressure relief valve that ...
