Pulverizer Terms

05/24/2014 8:47 AM

I found a book about coal pulverizers, in which the text says like this:

The Pulverizer consists of:

1. The gearbox, which is driven by an electric motor, is directly connected
to the bowl hub. A planetary gear arrangement provides the proper
reduction between the motor and the bowl hub to obtain the desired

bowl speed.

2. The millside, its liners and air inlet (Refer to Figure 1-1) surround the
bowl and the bowl hub and support the separator body. Air for
transporting and drying the coal enters through the air inlet,and is

directed upward around the bowl.

Does anyone know what the term "millside" refers to exactly?

Just a guess here, but it would seem to refer to the side the coal is milled/pulverized in.... in contrast to the gearbox side.

Does that include the lower sides of the bowl where the bowl hub is?

Just like it says in #2. It's the inside wall of the containing/supporting structure around the periphery in the area below the bowl. Abrasion resistant liners are attached to the millside because that's where the non-combustible abrasive minerals (pyrites, quartz, etc.) get flung off of the bowl and are too heavy to be picked up in the upward directed air flow. So the answer to your second question is "yes".

Strange book on pulverizers that only lists two functions when in fact there are four main systems operating simultaneously: Grinding, Drying, Circulation, and Classification. The millside is part of the circulation/classification process where non-coal particles are removed so they can't enter the circulation phase.

Do you have any reference, book, or journal that can backup your statement?

Yes, and when you reveal your identity I will reveal my sources which I assure will be much more authoratative than the blog entry that you swiped your "information" from. Until then, go Google yourself, dude.
