Coal Fired
Coal Fired Power Plant
CHALLENGE
This plant needed to lower the temperature in their building, to decrease the heat strain on the plant equipment and personnel in the complex’s four powerhouses. The main condition of the project was that operations could not be disrupted during installation. That made pre-planning imperative for this project. Fortunately, Moffitt is the expert when it comes to coal fired power plant ventilation.
DESIGN
A new ventilation system was designed using computer modeling software. This allowed the team to gauge the effectiveness of the new system, and ensure sufficient air movement, before work began. The models showed that twenty-seven (27) MoffittVent ventilators would be required to move the large volume of stifling air.
RESULTS
The MoffittVent units, along with vents and new wall louvers for supply air, decreased the temperature in the Powerhouse by more than 30°. This improved worker comfort and allowed for the FGD scrubbers to clean the exhaust flue gasses more effectively. This contributed to an improvement in overall plant emissions.
Project Summary
- Seven (7) low-profile natural ventilators
- Twenty-Seven (27) low-profile ventilators
- Two hundred thirty-four (234) pneumatic wall louvers
