Number of passes=(632624 lb/h)/(3600sec/h)*200MV*0.2006Ft2/pass
= 4.4 (Use 4 passes)
Try 12 Burners
– fuel fired= (151.1 MM Btu/h)/12=12.6 MM Btu/burner
– Flame length= 2 feet*12.6= 25.2 feet
– % tube coverage=25.2/57.4= 44%

Try 12 Burners at 72” burner to tube spacing
– Burner circle diameter= 28’-2(6’)=16’
– Space between burner= {16*12*3.147- 12(30”)}/12=20”
– Burner to burner= 50”= 1.66 tile OD

Calculate flue gas
– fuel fired= (151.1 MM Btu/h)/23035btu/lb=6560 lb/hr
– Flue gas = 6560*(20.92+1) lb air/lb fuel= 143,792 lb/hr

Draft
Critical at Bridgewall
– Avoid pressurizing heater casing
– Avoid leakage of flue gases to atmosphere
Critical at Burners
– Insure sufficient air flow
– Insure fuel-air mixing not limited
– Normally acceptable if good value at
bridgewall
