Correct answer: B. All A., B. and C.
- A. Use of coal/coke containing a high % of fines and ash
- B. All A., B. and C.
- C. Development of hot spots in the fuel bed and an abnormally high rate of gasification
- D. Use of fuel having too low an ash fusion temperature
Explanation
Clinker forms when ash softens and fuses, especially with low ash-fusion fuel, hot spots, excessive local gasification, or high fines and ash content. Thus, all listed causes can promote excessive clinker formation.
