Looking for Coal Conveyor Basics

Looking for Coal Conveyor Basics

Looking for Coal Conveyor Basics

(OP)
I am a seasoned mechanical engineer with most of my 15 years experience on the nuclear side of power generation.  I am taking over plant engineering duties for the coal yard equipment at a fossil power plant.  As such, I am looking for good sources of information on coal yard equipment maintenance, design and operations (conveyors, hoppers, scales, etc.).

Thanks in advance

Dave

RE: Looking for Coal Conveyor Basics

There is some information in the Stock/Forry link that I gave to your soot blowing question.

Sounds like you have changed worlds lately.

Have changed worlds, but have been trying to get away from nuclear for the last 5 years anyway.  Interesting how once you have a certain background, you apparently loose any possible ability to work in another field.  From what I have seen, this type of barrier is manufactured by people in a particular industry - probably do to comfort more than anything else.
