Which of the following accentuates clinkering troubles on furnace grate burning coal ?

Correct answer: D. All A., B. and C.

  • A. Low reactivity of carbonised residue containing high proportion of iron & sulphur
  • B. Low forced draft & fuel bed temperature
  • C. Thick firebed and preheated primary air
  • D. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

Poorly reactive residue, inadequate draught, unsuitable bed conditions, a thick firebed and preheated primary air can create local reducing or high-temperature zones that fuse ash into clinker. Since all three statements describe aggravating conditions, the combined option is appropriate.
