除尘器和袋式除尘器是两个用于去除锅炉烟气中飞灰的系统。空气污染控制法规要求这些除尘器和袋式除尘器高效可靠地运行。故障或设备故障可能导致锅炉降额或完全关闭，从而增加运营公司的运营和维护费用。与料斗中飞灰收集相关的问题，如飞灰结块和飞灰固化，可能导致除尘器和袋式除尘器关闭。料斗加热系统的正确设计和安装可以显著减少与料斗中飞灰堵塞相关的维护问题。

Precipitators and baghouses are two systems designed to remove fly ash from boiler flue gas. Air pollution control regulations require that these precipitators and baghouses operate efficiently and reliably. Malfunctions or equipment failures could lead to boiler de-rating or complete shutdown, which increase the operation and maintenance expenses for the operating company. Problems related to fly ash collection in the hoppers, such as fly ash agglomeration and fly ash solidification, can lead to precipitator and baghouse shutdowns. The proper design and installation of hopper heating systems can significantly reduce the maintenance problems associated with fly ash plugging in hoppers.
