Can the ISB determines the location of slag or clinker buildup if it moves around on the pendants?
A. Yes, this is what strain gauge system designed to accomplish. We monitor the individual rods across the boiler and determine the location of severe slag or clinker build up laterally. With this information and variable speed control of the blowers we can bypass clean section of the pedant and target the specific clinker formation. Strain gauges can identify where the clinker buildup even if it moves.
