Abstract

The outdoor coal storage sheds of thermal power plants are being converted to indoor coal storage sheds worldwide because of the environmental pollution problems in the surrounding areas. On the other hand, indoor coal storage sheds are causing problems, such as indoor coal scattering and harmful gas generation. In this study, the ventilation method of indoor coal storage sheds was analyzed in terms of the internal flow characteristics and ventilation according to the outside wind velocity and direction. CFD analysis was performed based on the actual flow measurement information inside the indoor coal storage sheds. A comparison of the wind speed of 6 m/s and 2 m/s when the outside wind direction was easterly showed that the stream velocity to the monitor louver was faster and the recirculation area was clearer at 6 m/s than at 2 m/s. In addition, the trend of a westerly wind was similar to that of the easterly wind. The ventilation rate according to the wind speed was 13.1 times and 4.4 times for a wind speed of 6 m/s and 2 m/s, respectively. If the wind speed is 2 m/s, the situation does not meet the required number of ventilations per hour in a general plant, and needs to be improved.

화력발전소의 옥외 저탄장은 주변 지역의 환경오염 문제로 인하여 국내외적으로 옥내 저탄장으로 전환되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 옥내 저탄장의 경우 실내의 석탄 비산과 유해가스의 발생이 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 옥내 저탄장 내부를 외기의 풍속 및 풍향에 따른 내부 유동장 특성과 환기량을 분석하여 환기 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 옥내 저탄장 내부에서의 실제 유동 측정 정보를 기반으로 하여 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 외기 풍향이 동풍일 때 풍속이 6 m/s인 경우와 2 m/s인 경우를 비교해본 결과는 6 m/s일 때 Monitor louver로 배출되는 유속이 2 m/s일 때보다 빠르며 재순환 영역이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 또한 외기 풍향이 서풍일 경우에도 동풍과 경향이 비슷함을 확인하였다. 풍속에 따른 환기량을 확인한 결과는 풍속이 6 m/s인 경우에는 환기 횟수는 13.1회, 2 m/s인 경우에는 4.4회의 환기가 가능하다. 풍속이 2 m/s인 경우에 일반 공장의 시간당 필요 환기 횟수에 미치지 못하여 다소 개선이 필요한 실정이다.
