Definitions
- the present invention relates to a burner arrangement comprising a Burner head, a primary gas supply and a secondary gas supply, which in at least a secondary lance opens, and a method for operating this burner assembly.
- NOx as a collective term should be understood to mean the (gaseous) oxides of nitrogen, especially NO and NO 2 .
- US-A-5 275 552 discloses a gas burner device and method for Combustion of gas-air mixtures described. In particular, the Mixing of heating oil and air described in a mixing zone.
- US-A-5 271 729 describes a burner with low NOx formation, in which two different mixtures in different positions in a combustion chamber be initiated.
- GB-B 1 561 119 describes a method for injecting fuel into a Burner nozzle known in which the problems of axial and radial systems are not occur and in which a more effective combustion takes place.
- GB-A-2 224 823 describes a burner device in which this burning gas is led to a burner head in separate ways. there in a first branch, the gas to be burned in a Venturi nozzle with air mixed and fed to the burner head. A second branch turns to burning gas is fed directly to the burner head.
- such heating burners are installed in a combustion chamber.
- 150 burners can be installed in a 12 m long, 8 m high and 2 m wide chamber.
- the wall temperature of the combustion chamber rises to 1200 to 1300 ° C depending on the process used.
- the lances of the known burner types end in the hot chamber, where coking at the burner head and especially at the end of the additional gas lances, at which no oxygen is available for combustion, lead to a lasting disruption of the operating behavior.
- the high temperature which causes the gas mixture to decompose and soot to form, mainly results from the radiation from the furnace chamber fired with side wall burners. Repeated, complex cleaning of the blocked gas lances and the burner head is essential. The phenomenon is particularly common when burning heavier heating gas (content of C 2+ hydrocarbons> 1% by volume).
- a solution to the problem is based on a burner arrangement a) a burner head, b) a primary gas supply for supplying primary gas to Burner head, and c) a secondary gas supply, which in at least one Secondary gas lance opens, which is arranged so that secondary gas at the burner head can be directed past.
- the burner arrangement according to the invention is thereby characterized in that an aperture is present at the end of the secondary gas lance and that secondary gas supply and secondary gas lance designed and arranged in such a way are that secondary gas at the speed of sound from the at least one Secondary gas lance can escape.
- the secondary gas lance can close to the Extend burner head. Since the secondary gas is now coming out of the Lance can escape, i.e. that it is for the supercritical relaxation of the Secondary gas comes to the secondary gas lance end, the decreases Dwell time in which the secondary gas could decompose at the end of the lance. On in this way the dwell time of the heating gas in the secondary gas lance is reduced, which significantly lowers the temperature at the hot tip of the lance can be. Furthermore, the lance is due to the high throughput on - in Cold compared to combustion chamber - additional cooling of gas. The tendency to Coke formation is completely avoided by the burner arrangement according to the invention.
- the speed and the mixing ratio of primary and secondary heating gas are too an easy way to interact with the upcoming pressure for to ensure a supercritical expansion of the secondary heating gas at the orifice. In this way, the supercritical expansion of the secondary gas as close as possible to the burner head, so that the outflow velocity of the Gas at the end of the lance near the burner head is maximum.
- the mixing ratio between secondary gas supply and Primary gas supply regulated.
- a division of the heating gas into 20 is preferred Share on the secondary gas supply and 80 parts on the primary gas supply.
- the 80 parts of heating gas are supplied with primary gas in a stoichiometric amount with air mixed and fed directly to the burner head.
- the 20 parts of heating gas in the Secondary gas feeds are preferably unmixed via the secondary gas lance in the Firing chamber led.
- the aperture can for example consist of a bore of 1.7 mm, the Secondary gas lance can have an inner diameter of 4 mm.
- a Burner arrangement provided in which the vector of the main outflow direction of the Secondary gas flow with the vector of the longitudinal axis of the burner in the direction of Main flow direction of the primary gas an angle of more than 30 °, preferably 45 °.
- the direction of flow can become supercritical relaxing secondary gas can be set.
- the secondary gas is preferably pure heating gas, it is advantageous not to direct this associated burner head or its main flame, but the gas lead directly into the combustion chamber.
- the angle this can be done Secondary gas on the main flame of the burner head of the individual burners be led past, i.e. that the angle is chosen so that the secondary gas from Burner head is directed away.
- the combustion of the Secondary heating gas take place essentially in the combustion chamber and not immediately in the flame area primarily generated on the burner head. That means it will be one Temperature peaks avoided, and the formation of NOx can be reduced even further become.
- a Burner arrangement in which only one secondary gas lance per burner head is provided. By reducing the number of secondary gas lances, for each burner has a special discharge direction for the secondary gas be provided. In this way, you can set up the individual burner in a furnace room to set a special combustion behavior. The pressure on the individual lance also prevents that further lances of the same secondary gas supply become clogged. or clog.
- Another solution to the problem is a method for the combustion of Primary gas and secondary gas in a burner arrangement, comprising one Burner head a primary gas supply for supplying primary gas to the burner head and a secondary gas supply which opens into at least one secondary gas lance which the secondary gas at the speed of sound from the secondary gas lance into one the combustion chamber surrounding the burner head is introduced.
- a primary gas supply for supplying primary gas to the burner head
- a secondary gas supply which opens into at least one secondary gas lance which the secondary gas at the speed of sound from the secondary gas lance into one the combustion chamber surrounding the burner head is introduced.
- a heating gas especially a methane-rich one Gas fraction with a methane content of more than 90 vol .-% used. It is particularly preferred for both the primary gas and the secondary gas mixture to use the same source.
- the pressure in the secondary gas can can also be used for the primary gas supply. A is particularly preferred Pressure of less than 10 bar, in particular 4 bar, in the primary gas supply and Secondary gas supply used.
- an ethylene-rich gas fraction can also be used be used.
- the methane-rich gas fraction can, for example can be obtained from the raw gas of naphtha splitting.
- the secondary gas at an angle between the vector of the main outflow direction of the secondary gas flow and the vector of the longitudinal axis of the Burner of more than 30 °, preferably 45 °, directed away from the longitudinal axis of the burner introduced into the combustion chamber.
- the burner arrangement has a burner head 1 which is in the lining 10 an oven room is attached. Heating gas is supplied via a primary gas supply 6 fed into a mixing room 11, in which also combustion air via a Combustion air inlet 9, which is designed as a silencer 12, is sucked in becomes. The amount of combustion air sucked in can be through the air damper 7 can be set. Between the mixing room 11 and the burner head 1 there is a Venturi nozzle 4. Furthermore there is a secondary gas supply 5 is provided, which extends through the lining 10 and on End has a gas lance 3 with an aperture 2. The outlet of the aperture 2 is set so that outflowing gas from the secondary gas supply with the longitudinal axis of the burner head 1 forms an angle 8 of approximately 45 °.
- primary gas is fed into the mixing chamber via the primary gas supply 6 11 headed.
- the air flap 7 By means of the air flap 7, the mixing ratio with the Air sucked in via the combustion air inlet 9 is set.
- This The mixture of primary gas and combustion air is fed through the Venturi nozzle 4 fed to the burner head 1, where it emerges.
- the Secondary gas supply preferably pure heating gas, is blown into the combustion chamber.
- the gas orifice 2 it is achieved that at the speed of sound inflowing secondary gas leaves the secondary gas lance 3 and on Burner head is introduced into the combustion chamber. That's how it burns Secondary gas not ignited at the end of the secondary gas lance, but ignited only in the flame area of the burner head or behind it. To this Way, not only is the temperature at the secondary gas lance tip lowered, but it is also avoided that the secondary gas is already decomposed between the burner head and the brick lining and thus Soot forms.
- the secondary gas supply 5 can be separated from the primary gas supply 6, so that also different types of heating gas via the primary gas supply and Secondary gas supply can be fed into the combustion chamber.
- P refers the primary gas supply 6 and the secondary gas supply 5 from the same Source fed, and the distribution of primary gas to secondary gas set by the gas shutter. The mixing ratios between primary gas and combustion air are dependent on the pending Gas pressure set by the air flap 7.
- a burner is provided in which coking at the burner head and especially at the end of the additional gas lances, on which no oxygen is available for combustion, is avoided.
- a method was also specified in which, despite the high temperatures, the tendency of the gas mixture to decompose and thus to build up soot can be avoided, primarily due to the radiation from the furnace chamber fired with side wall burners. Repeated, complex cleaning of the blocked gas lances and the burner head is therefore no longer necessary.
- coking could also be avoided when burning specifically heavy heating gas.
- a burner was made available which uses the resources required for combustion more effectively and therefore more economically and which, thanks to the reduced formation of NOx from 80 to 75 mg / Nm 3 flue gas with full combustion output, enables environmentally friendly firing.
