Abstract A 400t/h coal-fired boiler was modified from the front wall fired swirl burners to the opposed fired dense/thin phase swirl burners.With this modification
the over-heat of superheater and high consumptionrate of attemperator water were solved.The boiler was able to have a steady operation at the range at 40-100% rated load without supporting oil.The unburned carbon content in fly ash could be reduced from 5% to 2%.
