Description

Vertical pulverized coal boiler

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of boilers, in particular to a vertical pulverized coal boiler.

Background

The structure taking coal as a main energy source in China is difficult to change in the long time in the future, the annual coal consumption in China reaches 15 hundred million tons, 8 hundred million tons of coal are used for coal-fired thermal power generation, and 7 hundred million tons of coal are used for a coal-fired industrial boiler. With the improvement of the emission standard of the atmospheric pollutants of the coal-fired boiler, the efficient clean combustion technology of the coal is a necessary requirement for future development.

In addition, in the traditional combustion mode, the difference between the injection speed of primary air and secondary air in a hearth and the average speed of the section of the hearth is large, a large backflow area exists in the hearth, high-temperature flue gas can be sucked in the backflow area to preheat coal dust, but the control of the backflow area is complex, agglomeration of coal dust particles easily occurs in the backflow area, if the structure of an in-furnace flow field is poor, the slagging tendency of the hearth is large, and the safe and stable operation of a boiler is influenced.

Traditional combustion modes include tangential firing using a direct flow burner and swirl firing using a swirl burner. In the traditional combustion mode, primary air carries pulverized coal and is sprayed into a hearth at the speed of 20-30m/s, and secondary air surrounds the primary air and is sprayed into the hearth at the speed of 30-40m/s, so that the combustion mode of wind-packed powder is formed. The pulverized coal is burned intensively in a specific area, the local combustion temperature is high, and the original NOx emission value of pulverized coal combustion is high. For a pulverized coal boiler burning anthracite, the original NOx emission value exceeds 800mg/m < 3 >; for bituminous coal fired boilers, the original NOx emissions values typically exceed 400mg/m3, both of which greatly exceed the relevant emissions standards.

In addition, in the traditional combustion mode, the difference between the jet speed of primary air and secondary air in the hearth and the average speed of air flow on the cross section of the hearth is larger, a larger backflow area exists in the hearth, high-temperature flue gas can be sucked in the backflow area, coal dust is preheated, the control of the backflow area is complex, coal dust particle agglomeration easily occurs in the backflow area, if the structure of an in-furnace flow field is poor, the slagging tendency of the hearth is large, and the safe and stable operation of a boiler is influenced.

In addition, in the tangential firing mode or the cyclone firing mode of the pulverized coal, because the pulverized coal is burned intensively and releases heat, the pulverized coal combustion temperature exceeds the ash fusion point, the pulverized coal combustion is easy to form slag bonding, and part of slag is adhered to the water-cooled wall of the hearth to influence the heat transfer performance of the boiler. During operation of the boiler, part of the slag needs to be discharged from the bottom of the furnace, thus reducing the boiler efficiency.

Detailed Description

The technical scheme of the invention is further specifically described below through examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the specification, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components. The following description of embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings is intended to illustrate the general inventive concept and should not be taken as limiting the invention.

Furthermore, in the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments disclosed herein. It may be evident, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in the drawings in order to simplify the drawings.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a vertical pulverized coal boiler including: a furnace 1 comprising side walls 11 at the periphery thereof, a furnace bottom 12 below the side walls, a furnace cavity 13 enclosed by the side walls and the furnace bottom, wherein the side walls comprise a side wall lower portion 111 accounting for 20 to 40% of the total height thereof; at least one pulverized coal burner 5 comprising a main body 52 and a burner outlet pipe 51 extending from the main body, the main body 52 being arranged at a lower side wall portion 111 of the furnace, the burner outlet pipe 51 extending from outside the lower side wall portion 111 of the furnace into the furnace cavity 13 and being adapted to introduce a mixture of primary air and pulverized coal into the furnace cavity 13; the secondary air distribution device is arranged in the bottom of the hearth and is suitable for introducing secondary air into the inner cavity of the hearth, and comprises an air distribution plate 3 arranged at the bottom of the hearth and an air chamber 2 in fluid communication with the air distribution plate; and the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal is mixed with the secondary air to form a wind-powder mixture which flows upwards in a plug flow overall manner in the inner cavity of the hearth.

In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the furnace bottom 12 may include an opening (not shown) occupying more than about 80% of its cross-sectional area, and the air distribution plate 3 of the secondary air distribution device is disposed in the opening such that the air distribution plate 3 occupies substantially the entire cross-section of the furnace bottom. Since the secondary air is supplied from substantially the entire cross section of the bottom 12 of the furnace, the velocity difference is small throughout the cross section of the furnace, and thus the primary air and pulverized coal mixture and the secondary air form a dispersed air-powder mixture without entrainment and backflow, and thus the air-powder mixture flows upward in a plug flow, thereby changing the conventional combustion mode of the wind-powder. Further, although the air distribution plate 3 is shown as rectangular in shape as shown in fig. 2, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the air distribution plate may be any shape as long as the air distribution plate 3 occupies a large part of the cross-sectional area of the hearth bottom 12, depending on the actual situation.

In an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, the secondary air distributor plate 3 is a plate structure having a plurality of through holes in which the secondary air caps 4 are installed so that the secondary air is introduced into the furnace through the secondary air chamber from the plurality of secondary air caps. The secondary air can be air or the mixture of air and flue gas. In one example, the wind distribution plates 3 are substantially uniformly provided with hoods 4, the center-to-center distance between the hoods is not more than 300mm (local facilities may be provided on the wind distribution plates, and the distance between the nearby hoods may be appropriately adjusted), so that the secondary wind is uniformly fed into the furnace cavity from almost the entire cross section of the bottom of the furnace. In a conventional once-through burner or cyclone burner, only a considerable number of secondary air passages are arranged around the primary air passages of the burner arranged on the side wall of the furnace, for example, 5 burners are arranged on the side wall of the furnace, and only 5 secondary air passages are arranged. Therefore, in the conventional burner, it is generally required to arrange the secondary air passage closely around the primary air passage because only the air thus blown out from the secondary air passage can tightly surround the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal, so that the pulverized coal is not easily diffused, thereby more facilitating ignition of the pulverized coal in a local area by means of high temperature inside the boiler. However, in the embodiment according to the invention, in the area in the vicinity of the burner outlet pipes, a number of caps 4 is provided, which is much greater than the number of burner outlet pipes 51, and in one example, the number of caps 4 can be up to several hundred, enabling the secondary air to be ejected more evenly at the bottom of the furnace than immediately surrounding the mixture of primary air and pulverized coal.

In an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the sidewall 11 of the furnace 1 includes a sidewall lower portion 111 having a height of 20% -40% of the total height of the sidewall, and the sidewall lower portion 111 is an inverted cone portion having a cross section that gradually increases from bottom to top. Specifically, in one example, as shown in fig. 2, the side walls include four pieces of side walls SF1, SF2, SF3, and SF4, wherein two opposite pieces of side walls SF1 and SF3 are inclined inwardly at lower portions thereof to be reverse tapered, and the other two opposite pieces of side walls SF2 and SF4 remain vertical in a vertical direction. The pulverized coal burner 5 is disposed on the lower portion of the two side walls SF1 and SF3 inclined inward at the lower portion and/or on the lower portion of the two side walls SF2 and SF4 kept vertical, wherein the number of burners disposed on each side wall may be one or more.

In another exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the furnace may remain unchanged. In one example, as shown in fig. 3, the furnace comprises four side walls SF1', SF2', SF3', and SF4', the middle and lower parts of which remain vertical and have a substantially rectangular cross section with a constant area, wherein the middle and lower parts respectively account for 20% to 40% of the total height of the side walls of the furnace. It is to be understood that the embodiment shown in fig. 3 only shows a preferred embodiment of the invention, and that the furnace cross-section of the invention is not limited to the cross-section shown in fig. 3, and that the furnace cross-section may be circular, rectangular, other polygonal, etc. In case of comprising two sets of pulverized coal burners, the two sets of burners are arranged on opposite two side walls, for example on SF1 'and SF3' or on SF2 'and SF4', respectively. In the case of four groups of pulverized coal burners, which are arranged at four corners of the cross section of the furnace, respectively, each group of pulverized coal burners includes the same number of pulverized coal burners greater than or equal to 1, as shown in fig. 3.

In an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, the vertical pulverized coal boiler further comprises at least one layer of tertiary air nozzles 6 adapted to introduce tertiary air into the furnace and arranged in layers on the side walls 11 of the furnace, one layer of the at least one layer of tertiary air nozzles 6 being arranged on the lower part 111 of the side walls 11 of the furnace, combustion of pulverized coal being maintained by the tertiary air fed into the interior of the furnace and the cross-sectional velocity of the furnace being maintained at not less than 2.0m/s. In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, one layer of the at least one layer of tertiary air jets 6 is arranged on the lower inwardly inclined side walls SF1 and SF 3.

In an exemplary embodiment according to the present invention, the injection momentum of the secondary air is less than or equal to the injection momentum of the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal. Further, the jet momentum of the secondary air is 70% to 90% of the jet momentum of the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal. The mixing of the secondary air and the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal is facilitated by making the injection momentum of the secondary air slightly smaller than that of the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal, so that the combustion is facilitated more, and the secondary air reaches the upper part of the hearth earlier than the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal. In the process that the mixture of primary air and pulverized coal and secondary air flow upwards from the lower space of the inner cavity of the hearth, partial combustion reaction occurs, heat released by pulverized coal combustion is transferred to water-cooled walls around the bottom of the hearth, and along with the increase of the height of the hearth and the expansion of the sectional area of the hearth, the combustion of pulverized coal is maintained by means of tertiary air supplied into the hearth, and the section speed of the hearth is kept to be not lower than 2.0m/s.

In one embodiment according to the invention, the pulverized coal burner adopts a circulating fluidized bed preheating burner, pulverized coal carried by primary air can be preheated to 800-850 ℃ or even higher in the circulating fluidized bed preheating burner, the pulverized coal is ignited in the burner, and the preheated pulverized coal is quickly mixed with secondary air after being introduced into a hearth and is stably combusted. At this time, primary air and pulverized coal which are introduced into a hearth through a pulverized coal burner are precisely high-temperature powdery fuel formed after the pulverized coal is partially combusted and high-temperature gas containing a large amount of combustible components. However, as for ignition of the pulverized coal, it is understood by those skilled in the art that, instead of preheating the burner or the like to bring the pulverized coal into the furnace to the ignition temperature, plasma ignition or other treatment of the pulverized coal to lower the ignition point may be employed.

When the boiler operates, a mixture of primary air and coal dust is introduced into the hearth cavity 13 from the lower side wall part 111 through the coal dust burner 5, secondary air is introduced into the hearth from the bottom of the hearth through the secondary air hood 4, and tertiary air is introduced into the hearth through the tertiary air nozzle. Because the secondary air is evenly supplied to the inner cavity of the hearth and matched with reasonable jet momentum of the primary air and the secondary air, the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal is mixed with the secondary air strongly and evenly, entrainment and backflow hardly occur, and the speed difference of each part on the cross section of the hearth is small, the dispersed air-powder mixture integrally flows upwards, namely the air-powder mixture flows upwards in a flat thrust way, so that the conventional air-powder combustion mode is changed. The air-powder mixture fills the inner cavity of the hearth, the combustion mode of the pulverized coal is full-field space combustion in the hearth, and the staged combustion and the uniform temperature control of the pulverized coal are realized in the full-field space of the hearth by combining the air distribution control of tertiary air.

The tertiary air for pulverized coal combustion is added along the height of the hearth in multiple layers, the reducing atmosphere is arranged below the top layer nozzle of the tertiary air, and fuel nitrogen released in pulverized coal combustion is converted into multidirectional nitrogen. Because the concentrated combustion area does not exist in the pulverized coal combustion, the highest temperature level of the pulverized coal combustion is low, and thermal NOx is basically not generated in the pulverized coal combustion. Thus, the original emission level of NOx is much lower than conventional pulverized coal combustion technology.

In addition, as the hearth is internally provided with a horizontal plug flow which integrally flows upwards, the section speed of the hearth is controlled not to be too low, pulverized coal is not lost, the uniform temperature is controlled, and the worry that the powder deposition and slag discharge at the bottom of the hearth fall into an air chamber is not needed, so that a blast cap is not needed, secondary air is directly provided through small holes on an air distribution plate, and the small holes on the air distribution plate are basically uniformly arranged at the moment, and the distance is not more than 300mm.

In addition, the invention also provides a pulverized coal combustion method, which adopts the vertical pulverized coal burner, and the pulverized coal boiler comprises the following steps: the hearth comprises a hearth, wherein the hearth comprises side walls positioned at the periphery of the hearth, a hearth bottom positioned below the side walls, and a hearth cavity formed by surrounding the side walls and the hearth bottom, wherein the side walls comprise lower parts of the side walls accounting for 20-40% of the total height of the side walls; at least one pulverized coal burner comprising a main body disposed at a lower portion of a sidewall of the furnace and a burner outlet pipe extending from the main body into an inner cavity of the furnace from an outer side of the lower portion of the sidewall of the furnace; and the secondary air distribution device is arranged at the bottom of the hearth and comprises an air distribution plate arranged at the bottom of the hearth and an air chamber in fluid communication with the air distribution plate, and comprises: and (3) introducing a mixture of primary air and pulverized coal into the hearth cavity from the lower part of the side wall of the hearth through at least one pulverized coal burner, and introducing secondary air into the hearth cavity from the bottom of the hearth through a secondary air distribution device, so that the mixture of the primary air and the pulverized coal and the secondary air are mixed in the hearth cavity to form an air-powder mixture flowing upwards in a plug flow integrally so as to burn at the same temperature in the hearth cavity.

On the basis of the vertical pulverized coal boiler according to the embodiment of the present invention, several experiments were performed to exemplarily better illustrate the technical effects of the boiler according to the present invention, and the specific experiments are as follows:

Test 2

On the basis of the vertical pulverized coal boiler provided by the embodiment of the invention, the fuel is semicoke powder with very low volatile matters, and a circulating fluidized bed type preheating burner is adopted to spray a mixture of the semicoke powder preheated to 850 ℃ and primary air into a hearth; the temperature of the secondary air is 200 ℃; the apparent velocity of the coke powder air flow in the hearth is 3.0m/s, and the combustion temperature of the hearth is 1100 ℃; along the height direction of the hearth, two layers of tertiary air are arranged. The test result shows that the combustion efficiency of semicoke is 96.5%, the original emission level of NOx is 50mg/Nm3, the original emission value of NOx is obviously reduced, and the high-efficiency low-nitrogen combustion of low-volatile flame-retardant fuel is realized.

Therefore, in the vertical pulverized coal boiler according to the embodiment of the invention, the air distribution plate arranged on the whole cross section of the bottom of the hearth is used for providing secondary air, the air supply is uniform, entrainment and backflow hardly occur, and the speed difference of each part on the cross section of the hearth is small, so that the dispersed air-powder mixture integrally flows upwards, and the conventional air-powder combustion mode is changed. Therefore, the invention realizes the overall upward thrust flow of the wind-powder mixture in the whole hearth space, no reflux area appears in the hearth, the accumulation of coal powder particles in the hearth is avoided, and the running stability of the system is improved.

Furthermore, the invention breaks through the wind powder-wrapping mode of the conventional burner, so that the combustion temperature of the pulverized coal in the whole hearth space is uniformly distributed, and the highest temperature of pulverized coal combustion is stabilized, so that the uniform temperature combustion can be realized, the current situations of concentrated combustion and concentrated heat release of the conventional combustion mode can be changed, the concentrated high temperature area in the furnace in the conventional pulverized coal combustion mode is eliminated, and thermal NOx is not generated.

Furthermore, because the uniform temperature combustion is realized in the inner cavity of the hearth, the highest temperature in the furnace is lower than the ash fusion point by the uniform temperature combustion of the pulverized coal, slag bonding is avoided, and fly ash generated by the combustion of the pulverized coal enters the tail part along with the flue gas, so that slag discharge is not needed in the operation of the boiler, the thermal efficiency of the boiler is high, and the system is simple to operate.
