Definitions

  • the invention relates to a burner for burning liquid or gaseous fuels according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a burner is known with regard to the division of the combustion air into primary air, secondary air and tertiary air and supply of the tertiary air via a separate air box (US Pat. No. 4,347,052). This reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides during combustion. It is also known that in burners with a central oil lance and three-part air supply (DE-OS 33 27 597) flue gas is supplied to the beginning of the flame between the primary air and secondary air supply. In the known, equipped with a central fuel lance and operated with heavy oil burners can operate in narrow burner spaces, for. B. in flame tube three-pass boilers difficulties arise in the way that low-pollutant combustion can be associated with an impermissibly high solid emissions.
  • the invention has for its object to design the generic burner in such a way that the formation of nitrogen oxides can be considerably reduced, especially when burning heavy heating oil, while maintaining the specified solid ejection value.
  • the fireproof-lined chamber now has the effect that the oxidation process is largely completed, so that the intermediate products and incomplete combustion products, such as carbon monoxide, soot and hydrogen, which are initially formed are burned at the end of the chamber and that flue gas can be cooled in the heat exchanger immediately following the chamber .
  • the retaining ring at the end of the chamber swirls the combustion products and accelerates the complete burnout of the fuel.
  • the burner according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that the prescribed limit values for the emission of gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide as well as of solid pollutants are observed equally.
  • the burner contains several fuel lances, namely a central lance 1 and several, in the present case three outer satellite lances 2, which surround the central lance 1 on a pitch circle.
  • the central lance 1 and the satellite lances 2 open into a fireproof-lined chamber 4 provided with an end wall 3.
  • the fuel lances can be designed as oil lances or as gas lances for the combustion of liquid or gaseous fuel. All fuel lances can be moved axially.
  • This burner is designed for the low-pollutant combustion of particularly heavy heating oil in narrow fireboxes.
  • the internal mixer is used as the atomizer lance for the liquid fuel. Compressed air can be used as an atomizing agent or steam can be used.
  • the quantity distribution of the fuel is provided so that each fuel lance is evenly d. in the case of a central lance 1 and n satellite lances 2, 100 / n + 1% of the total fuel quantity is applied.
  • the fuel injection with the central lance 1 takes place via uniformly arranged nozzle bores, the spray angle being adapted to the design of the chamber 4.
  • the fuel outflow from the satellite lances 2 is provided in one direction via a plurality of nozzle bores arranged one behind the other.
  • the spray jet from the satellite lances 2 can be selected such that it is directed into the center or tangentially to any imaginary circle within the chamber 4.
  • the injection position can be shifted axially.
  • the fuel quantity is divided between the central lance 1 and the satellite lances 2 in this way so that coke formation is avoided and the gasification of the fuel is accelerated.
  • the variable and graduated fuel injection keeps the local flame temperatures and the oxygen concentration as low as possible, which counteracts the formation of thermal nitrogen oxide and fuel nitrogen oxide.
  • the central lance 1 is enclosed by a protective tube 5, which in turn is surrounded by two ring channels 6, 7, which are connected to a first air chamber 8.
  • the combustion air entering through the first air chamber 8 via an air inlet connection 9 is divided by the ring channels 6, 7 into an internal primary air flow and an external secondary air flow.
  • Air guiding bodies 10 are arranged in the entrance of the ring channels 6, 7, which are axially displaceable via a rear linkage and via which the pressure and speed relationships of the air flows can be mutually coordinated.
  • a control flap 11 is arranged in the entrance of the air box 8, by means of which the amount of combustion air supplied to the ring channels 6, 7 is regulated.
  • a swirler 12 which forces a swirl on the primary air flow. Additional swirl generators can be provided at the inlet end of the ring channel 7.
  • the outer ring duct 7 for guiding the secondary air is surrounded by a flue gas ring duct 13 which is connected via a flue gas chamber 14 to a separate flue gas inlet connection 15.
  • the flue gas inlet connection 15 is supplied with flue gas, which is drawn in from the boiler connected to the burner by means of a fan.
  • the flue gas enters the chamber 4 via the flue gas ring channel 13 and envelops the fuel jet of the central lance 1 and the primary air jet and the secondary air jet over a certain path length.
  • a second air chamber 16 which is used to supply a further partial flow of the combustion air as tertiary air, is connected to the air inlet connection 9, separated by the flue gas chamber 14.
  • a regulating flap 17 for regulating the amount of air entering is arranged in the entrance of the second air chamber 16.
  • a first set of air nozzles 18 Arranged in the end wall 3 of the chamber 4 is a first set of air nozzles 18 which open into the second air chamber 16 and protrude into the chamber 4 with the end that is angled or straight to the longitudinal axis of the chamber 4.
  • the outlet openings of these air nozzles 18 lie on a pitch circle, the diameter of which is smaller than the pitch circle of the satellite lance 2 and larger than the diameter of the outlet opening of the flue gas ring duct 13.
  • the outlet openings of the air nozzles 18 also lie in the flow direction of the flue gas in front of the nozzle bores of the satellite lances 2.
  • the second air chamber 16 is connected via a series of through bores 19 to an annular chamber 20 which surrounds the chamber 4. At a distance from the outlet openings of the air nozzles 18 and the nozzle bores of the satellite lances 2 are guided obliquely through the side wall of the chamber 4 further nozzles 21 which open into the annular chamber 20 and protrude into the chamber 4.
  • the outlet openings of these nozzles 21 lie on a pitch circle, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the pitch circle on which the satellite lances 2 are arranged.
  • the combustion air supplied to the second air chamber 16 is supplied to the chamber 4 as tertiary air I through the air nozzles 18 and at a distance therefrom as tertiary air II through the further nozzles 21.
  • the direction of the air jets emerging from the air nozzles 18 and the further nozzles 21 is indicated in the drawing by dash-dotted lines. It can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 that the tertiary air jets are directed at a spatial angle against the longitudinal axis of the chamber 4.
  • the flame tube 23, cooled by a water jacket 22, of a flame tube boiler is connected directly to the outlet end of the chamber 4.
  • the combustion products emerging from the chamber 4 are thus immediately cooled.
  • a retaining ring 24 composed of stone segments is provided.
  • the retaining ring 24 creates a constriction zone, whereby a further swirling of the combustion products is achieved and the complete burnout of the fuel is thereby accelerated.
  • the retaining ring 24 can be arranged at different points in the longitudinal direction of the chamber 4 to influence the combustion process. In the event of a shift towards the burner lances, the further nozzles 21 for blowing in the tertiary air II also lie behind the retaining ring 24 in the direction of flow of the flue gas.
