Station Design With Cyclone-Fired Steam Generators

The need for finding better methods of burning Central Illinois coal led to the cyclone-furnace development. Sufficient operating experience has been gained since the first cyclone-fired steam generator was installed, as well as with numerous installations of recent years. Station design for cyclone-fired steam generators is treated in this paper as well as engineering design features of the installations now in operation. Consideration is also given to units in process of design and construction.
