In the case of high volatile coal while the lower limit generally remains as 65 degree centigrade, the upper limit is restricted to a lower level depending on percentage of volatile content in coal. The mill outlet temperature has a major impact on the boiler performance levels.

Coal pulverizers may be classified by speed, as follows: • Low Speed• Medium Speed• High SpeedA ball mill is a pulverizer that consists of a horizontal rotating cylinder, up to three diameters in length, containing a charge of tumbling or cascading steel balls, pebbles, or rods. A tube mill is a revolving cylinder of up to five diameters in length used for fine pulverization of ore, rock, and other such materials; the material, mixed with water, is fed into the chamber from one end, and passes out the other end as a slurry. Both types of mill include liners that protect the cylindrical structure of the mill from wear. Thus the main wear parts in these mills are the balls themselves, and the liners. The balls are simply "consumed" by the wear process and must be re-stocked, whereas the liners must be periodically replaced. The ball and tube mills are low-speed machines that grind the coal with steel balls in a rotating horizontal cylinder. Due to its shape, it is called a tube mill and due to use of grinding balls for crushing, it is called a ball mill, or both terms as a ball tube mill. These mills are also designated as an example size, BBD-4772, • B Broyer (Name of inventor).• B Boulet (French word for balls).• D Direct firing.

Primary air is essential for proper drying of the coal. The mill’s outlet temperature is used to determine this and the hot and tempering air dampers are controlled to allow for desired mill
Modeling and control of ball mill system considering coal
Primary air, raw coal, sealed air and leakage air entering coal mill, as well as the grinding process, generate heat and thus contribute to the increase in outlet temperature of the mill. Meanwhile, pulverized coal taken out of the mill, evaporation of coal moisture, heating fuel and heat dissipation inside the mill reduce outlet temperature.
