Steel Casing

4.1.2 STEEL CASING - LQ DESIGN

This type of casing is designed with vertical wall panels without internal
bracings. Thereare two complete frames per field, consisting of columns, roof
beam and bottom beam to take up theloads. As there are no columns and bracings,
frame members are having longer span resulting into higher sections and design
will therefore be heavier and more limited in size. The roof design is similar to the
design used for IB design. This casing is considered when sticky dust is expected.

4.1.3 CONCRETE CASING

 For applications when sever corrosion can be expected can be
expected as in case of sodarecovery boiler, a concrete casing is considered. The
concrete casing normally is designed with flat bottom and scraper conveyor is
employed to remove the dust. The design is limited both in view of temperature
and size. Conceptually design is almost identical to that of LQ design.

4.2 SUPPORTING BEARING

For the casing to be

independent of any distortion due to
thermal expansion it rests on thesupporting
structure via special roller bearing or slide
bearing. Both designs enable rational and
translational movements and ensure that
the loads are applied vertically on the
bearings.
