Abstract:
The objective of this project is to develop a teaching aid, which is a replica of the
Foster Wheeler-type ESD-I boiler. This model will help students gain a thorough
understanding of steam flows and the complex control mechanisms involved in
regulating the final superheated temperature (attemperator). The model has novel
features, utilizing straw as water tubes and integrating servo motors, joystick
controllers, and LED indicators to demonstrate steam flow patterns and damper
actions. This interactive model provides students with vital insights into the intricate
process of regulating steam flow within the attemperator. It also helps them
understand the relationship between adjusting the damper and controlling the
temperature of superheated steam. This practical method improves their
comprehension of the operating concepts that regulate the ESD-I boiler, enabling
them to fully understand the individual components and their interaction within the
system. This teaching tool enhances students' knowledge by providing a realistic
representation of steam flow characteristics and control mechanisms. It helps students
develop a deeper understanding of boiler functionality and grasp the operational
specifics of the ESD-I boiler.
