 DUCT & DAMPER
DUCT :
Duct is a closed path for the flow of cold air , hot air and
gases from one point to another point in a system . This can be of
any shape like Circular ,Elbow , Straight , Square, Rectangular or
some other shape.
There are eleven duct systems in Boiler :
1 . Cold air duct - FD fan to air heater.
- PA fan to air heater.

2 . Tempering Air system .

 HOT AIR DUCTS :

* Hot air To Wind box

* Hot air To Bus duct
* Hot air to Mills
GAS DUCTS :
* Gas To Economizer
* Gas To Boiler Outlet
* Gas To Electro statics precipitator
* Gas To ID Fan
* Gas To Chimney
 HOT AIR DUCTS :

* Hot air To Wind box

* Hot air To Bus duct
* Hot air to Mills
GAS DUCTS :
* Gas To Economizer
* Gas To Boiler Outlet
* Gas To Electro statics precipitator
* Gas To ID Fan
* Gas To Chimney

TYPE OF SUPPORT IN DUCT
1 * TOP SUPPORT
a . Hanger support .
2 * BOTTOM SUPPORT
a . Fixed Type .
b . Sliding Type .
Normally hot air ducts will be provided with sliding bottom
supporting .
HANGER SUPPORTS:
a . Fixed hanger supports :
Where the downward movement of the duct need not be
allowed .
b . Spring hanger supports:
Duct is allowed to move in the down ward direction .

* Variable load hangers ( VLH ) .

Used where the difference between the cold loads and hot loads
is very small .

* Constant load hangers ( CLH ) .

Used where the difference between the cold loads and hot loads
is very large .

3 * RESTRAINTS : (STOPS & TIES )

Used to take the horizontal loads on the ducts like
1 . Wind loads
2 . Seismic loads
3 . Expansion joint loads &
4 . Unbalanced pressure loads .
SHEAR TIES & PIN TIES :
These are used to support the toggle section inside the duct itself .
SHEAR TIES
GUSSET PLATE :

This is a plate for welding cross bracing (ex. Strut

tube) inside the duct.

STRUT TUBE :
This is used for load transfer and retain the shape of

 TOGGLE SECTION :

A small piece of duct having expansion pieces on either

ends . It may be floating or pinned at one end or pinned at both
ends. The duct piece may be straight or tapered . A toggle section
which is floating can take expansion in all the directions at both the
expansion joints .

 DAMPER & GATE :
Dampers & Gate are equipment which are used either to control
the air / gas passing through the duct system or to stop the flow of air /
gas through the duct system . Their work is similar to a valve , in case

a) Dampers

Parallel louver damper

Control louver damper

Biplane damper

The flow control is possible by the construction of the

louver blades. The flow is directly proportional to the
 b) Guillotine gates

Cold air gate (Manual /pneumatic Drive)

Hot air gate (Pneumatic Drive)

Flue gas gate (Electrical Drive)

uillotine gates are recommended for EP in/out, ID

Fan in/out and in Mill inlet. These are best suited
for complete isolation of equipments for
maintenance and shutdown.
