Furnace

The furnace is responsible for about 50 % of the total heat transfer of a boiler. However, the high temperatures and variations in fuel types may often lead to heavy deposits (slagging) on the furnace walls.

This may lead to reduction in overall steam generator efficiency, clinker formations that may fall down after reaching a significant size (causing damage to the hopper area of the furnace) and corrosion on the heat transfer surfaces.
