초록
This study was performed to confirm the thermal efficiency characteristics of a wood pellet boiler according to thestructural changes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). On the long operation of the boiler, a large amount of contaminationwas found in the combustion chamber, which reduced the thermal efficiency. In addition, the thermal stress problem in the combustionchamber wall was generated by the flame. To solve this problem, the refractory material was applied to the position where the thermalstresses occurred. Therefore, the fire tube and baffle structure were changed to reduce the decrease in efficiency due to contaminationfouling. The heat flow characteristics, including the convective heat transfer coefficient were investigated through the structuralchange, and a simulation was performed using CFD.The fire tube diameter was increased to 9.3 mm to reduce the decrease in energytransfer due to fouling from contamination. The simulation was performed in three different refractory material thickness (10 mm, 20mm, and 30 mm) cases. The highest efficiency, approximately 81.64%, was found in the 20 mm case. The high efficiency,approximately 83.43%, was observed in the 663 mm baffle length case. Similarly, in the 7 mm gap between the fire tube and baffle, ahigher thermal efficiency, approximately 93.65%, was predicted.
