GRATECAL ART 1.5D – Simulation software for prediction of fouling dynamics

What is GRATECAL ART 1.5D?

It is simulation software for prediction of fouling dynamics during solid fuel combustion in grate furnaces.

• It numerically solves heat and mass transfer within a solid fuel bed including evaporation, pyrolysis, char oxidation and homogenous reactions
• It predicts vaporization and release of ash particles
• It enables two-way coupling with an external CFD code to provide ash particle data and identify locations with increased level of fouling of heat transfer surfaces in a grate-fired furnace
