Definitions

  • the invention relates to a burner for burning dusty fuel with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to design the generic burner so that a more effective and controllable influence on the combustion process is made possible, which is primarily aimed at the chemical-physical relationships of nitrogen oxide formation and reduction in the primary combustion zone.
  • the defined annular gap formed between the flow guide device and the primary air pipe enables a partial flow of the secondary air to intervene in the ignition area of the flame core. In this way, an early ignition of the dusty fuel in the oxygen deficiency zone is supported.
  • the flow guiding device thus causes on the one hand a stabilization of the ignition on the burner and also a limited expansion of the flame in the radial direction.
  • the flow control device acts as an air repellent and thereby delays the mixing reaction between the oxygen in the combustion air and the fuel products. All of this reduces the formation of nitrogen oxide.
  • the partial flow of secondary air flowing through the annular gap can be changed in an advantageous embodiment of the invention with the aid of the displaceable throttle ring.
  • the different ignition behavior of different fuels can be influenced within a wide range.
  • the drawing shows the longitudinal section through a burner.
  • the burner which is used to burn coal dust, contains an oil burner ignition lance 2 which is provided in the longitudinal axis 1 of the burner and is arranged within a core air pipe 3.
  • the oil burner ignition lance 2 carries an oil atomizer nozzle 4 at the front end.
  • a swirl body 5 is arranged in the vicinity of the oil atomizer nozzle 4 within the core air tube 3.
  • the core air tube 3 is surrounded by a primary air tube 6 to form a cylindrical ring channel.
  • the primary air pipe 6 is connected at the rear end via a manifold 7 to a dust line 8, which leads to a mill, not shown.
  • a mixture of primary air or primary gas and coal dust is fed into the primary air pipe 6 via the dust line 8.
  • Swirl insert 9 is arranged, which is connected to a displacement body 10.
  • the displacement body 10 is attached to the core air tube 3.
  • the swirl insert 9, which can be fixed or adjustable, sets the stream of primary air or primary gas and coal dust in a rotational flow. As a result, the dust concentration in the primary air stream is evened out and at the same time pushed outwards. This effect is reinforced by the displacement body 10.
  • the primary air tube 6 is concentrically surrounded by a secondary air tube 12 to form a cylindrical ring channel, and this is in turn concentrically surrounded by a tertiary air tube 13 to form a cylindrical ring channel.
  • a burner throat 14 is connected to the tertiary air pipe 13 and merges into a burner mouth 15 in the wall 16 of a combustion chamber.
  • the burner groove 14 is formed from the tubes from which the wall 16 of the combustion chamber is constructed.
  • the secondary air tube 12 and the tertiary air tube 13 of each individual burner are each connected at the rear end to a spiral inlet housing 17, 18, which are connected to individual air inlet lines 21, 22 receiving flaps 19, 20.
  • the individual air inlet lines 21, 22 supply the secondary air pipe 12 with secondary air and the tertiary air pipe 13 with tertiary air as partial flows of the combustion air.
  • a device for influencing the swirl in the form of a cupboard can be rotated directly in front of the outlet end mounted axial swirl flaps 23, 24 which are adjustable from the outside via a linkage, not shown, and an actuator.
  • These axial swirl flaps 23, 24 impose a swirl of adjustable size on the secondary air and the tertiary air.
  • a permanently set swirl apparatus with a defined swirl intensity can also be used.
  • the primary air pipe 6 is surrounded by a flow guiding device 26 to form an annular gap 25.
  • the width of the annular gap 25 is greater than or equal to 1.5% of the outside diameter of the primary air pipe 6.
  • the direction of flow introduction consists of a cylindrical sleeve and is provided with an inflow segment 27 on the inflow side and with an outflow segment 28 on the outflow side.
  • the inflow segment 27 forms an inflow angle of maximum 45 ° with the burner longitudinal axis
  • the outflow segment 28 forms an outflow angle of maximum 25 ° with the burner longitudinal axis.
  • At least the inflow segment 27 and the cylindrical middle part of the flow guiding device 26 lie within the secondary air pipe 12.
  • the flow guiding device 26 divides the secondary air flowing through the secondary air pipe 12 into two partial flows, one of which flows through the annular gap 25.
  • the flow guide device 26 is centered on the primary air pipe 6 via support segments 29.
  • the support segments 29 can run parallel to the longitudinal axis 1 of the burner, or can preferably be set at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the burner. This angle is 0 ° to 80 °, preferably 45 °.
  • Such an adjustment forces the partial flow flowing through the annular gap 25 to rotate with a high mixing potential.
  • the partial flow of secondary air flowing through the annular gap 25 mixes into the flow of coal dust and primary air, which are swirled by the swirl insert 9 connected to the displacement body 10 and the ring 11 projecting into the primary air pipe 6.
  • the initial flame is generated by the partial flow of secondary air emerging from the annular gap 25 prevented from expanding in the radial direction.
  • the secondary air and the tertiary air mix with the fuel only with a delay, which is favored by the swirl of adjustable size imposed on these air streams.
  • a throttle ring 30 is arranged axially displaceable into the inlet opening of the flow guide device 26.
  • the proportions of the partial flows of the secondary air can be varied and thus the amount of secondary air which is mixed into the fuel products during their pyrolysis can be influenced.
  • the flow guide device 26 projects beyond the primary air pipe 6 and this in turn axially over the tertiary air pipe 13.
  • the part of the flow guiding device 26 projecting beyond the primary air pipe 6 accounts for 25% of the outside diameter of the primary air pipe 6.
  • the outlet cross sections of the tertiary air tube 13, the secondary air tube 12 and the flow guide device 26 are in a fixed relationship to one another, which is influenced by the procedural design of the burner.
  • the outer edges of the tertiary air tube 13, the secondary air tube 12 and the flow guide device 26 lie on a circular cone surface, the tip 31 of which points in the direction of flow.
  • the central angle of the circular cone surface is 40 ° to 60 °.
