Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combustion chamber with a burner device and a corresponding method for an NO x - and CO-lean combustion in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 and 13 respectively.
  • the combustion air is usually either in a so-called mixing tube gradually added to the fuel (see GB 1444 673 A) or it is added to the Mostly outside of the fuel jet and outside the flame area supplied annular distributor. (see DE-OS 4 419 345 and DE-OS 4 231 788).
  • Other Constructions have multiple slots or openings on the combustion chamber wall and / or Fuel rating within the combustion chamber (see US Pat. No. 5,461,865 A and US Pat. No. 4 931 012). Because of the considerable spatial distance of the combustion air distribution devices from the flame area, is in practical operation with such Burners uniform mixing of fuel and combustion air or a staged mix based on given proportions not achieved.
  • the gas burner according to JP 57-058010 A Combustion air to a larger area of the combustion zone by means of an internal one double-walled distribution body and the lower part of the combustion zone enclosing, drilled wall distributed.
  • This type of air grading grants a better one Mastery of the mixing ratios, but in addition to its complexity, it is also ineffective in terms of heat transfer because the outer combustion wall absorbs the heat shields from the actual combustion chamber wall.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a combustion chamber with a burner device and a method of operating this burner means through which an NO x - and CO-lean combustion and an intensification is the heat release reached at the wall, simple in design and for a Compact design suitable with predominantly separate supply of fuel and combustion air to the combustion chamber, in which the combustion air is fed in as many stages as possible into larger flame areas.
  • this object is achieved by a combustion chamber with a burner device and a method the characterizing features of claim 1 and 13 solved.
  • the basic concept of the invention which also the claimed method for Operating the burner device involves the following: Approx. 70 to 100 vol.% Of total amount of combustion air supplied is determined by means of one or more Combustion air distribution body in a predominantly radial direction in the direction of the flame filled space between the outer wall of the firebox and the contour of the Combustion air distributors along all or a large part of the flame length fed. This results in a large-scale distribution of the combustion air to the entire flame area or on large parts of the flame area.
  • the fuel is fed into the combustion zone exclusively in the area of the flame base located at the foot part of the combustion air distribution body by means of one or more rows of nozzles arranged around the combustion air distribution body.
  • the remaining part of the combustion air required for the combustion ie 0 to approx. 30% by volume, is mixed into the fuel before entering the combustion zone.
  • the admixture of this part of the combustion air increases the momentum of the fuel, improves the mixing of fuel and combustion air and leads to the ignition limit being reached more quickly.
  • the NO x values drop drastically.
  • the advantages of this concept are that the combustion is initially sub-stoichiometric and, with a gradually increasing air supply, only shortly before the tip of the flame changes into stoichiometry or over-stoichiometry, where complete burnout is achieved. In this way, temperature peaks in the entire flame area are suppressed and the formation of pollutants (NO x and CO) is drastically reduced.
  • This type of feeding of the combustion air also has the advantageous effect that the flame is blown away from the combustion air distribution body, so that no direct combustion takes place on the surface of these combustion air distribution bodies. This lowers the thermal load on the combustion air distribution bodies, especially since they are additionally cooled by the combustion air flowing through them.
  • a further advantageous effect of the combustion air supply according to the invention is that they also cool the flame, thereby reducing the formation of NO x .
  • the geometry of the combustion zone is largely determined by the geometry of these combustion air distributors.
  • An essential function of the combustion air distribution body is therefore seen in the fact that the size of the combustion chamber is decisively influenced by the choice of its dimensions.
  • the contour of the combustion air distribution bodies there is a large variety of variants for designing the contour of the combustion air distribution bodies.
  • the choice of a suitable shape for the combustion air distribution body can optimize the NO x and CO emissions and heat transfer.
  • the outer wall 3 consists of a cylindrical jacket wall 3a, a cover wall 3b and one Bottom wall 3c.
  • Firebox details are not shown in the schematic drawing like viewing openings for visual observation of the flame development in the combustion chamber, Openings for the ignition of the gas-air mixture and for temperature measurement in the lower one Part of the firebox.
  • a UV probe for monitoring the Flame and a suction probe for exhaust gas extraction to carry out the concentration analysis of the exhaust gas emerging at the exhaust outlet 6.
  • the exhaust outlet 6 is in the Cover wall 3b of the furnace arranged.
  • the fire or combustion chamber 2 can also polygon shaped as a prism, but always has a horizontal or vertical arranged longitudinal central axis 34.
  • the heat is removed from the outer wall 3 via cooling water, the either in coils 16 and / or in water chambers 17 flows around the outer wall 3.
  • the combustion air distribution body 7 consists of simple sheet steel with a large number of openings 11 for the exit of the combustion air into the combustion zone. While the almost horizontal head part 9 of the combustion air distribution body is closed, the foot part 8 remains open and is screwed into the air supply pipe 18.
  • the total combustion air or most of it (> 70 vol.% of the total for the Combustion air flow rate of 100% required) is via the inner tube 18th of a coaxial tube, the combustion air supply 5 into the interior of the combustion air distribution body 7 by means of a fan 19 provided with a motor 20.
  • the lower end of the inner tube 18 of the coaxial tube opens into the combustion air supply 5.
  • the cylinder ring 21 is directly on the foot part of the combustion air distribution body 7 with a Provide row of nozzles 12.
  • This row of nozzles 12 has a variety of around Combustion air distribution body 7 arranged around fuel nozzles 13 for distribution of the fuel into the combustion zone in two perpendicular to each other Beam directions 14 crossing planes crossing the longitudinal center axis 34 are used (see Figures 3a-3d).
  • the burner output was determined for relatively small combustion air distributors (length 25-30 cm, width at the foot part 2-3 cm and at the head part 0-10 cm, with a length of the fire or Combustion chamber of 80 cm) to values between 10 and 22 kW and the air ratio varies between 1.1 and 1.5.
  • combustion air distributors length 25-30 cm, width at the foot part 2-3 cm and at the head part 0-10 cm, with a length of the fire or Combustion chamber of 80 cm
  • the distribution body shown in FIG. 1a, to which the measured values in FIGS. 4 and 5 relate was at a total length of approx. 30 cm at the foot part approx. 2.5 cm wide.
  • the contour of the combustion air distribution body did not glow and remained relatively cold (below 300 ° C.) in all designs according to FIG. 2a.
  • the exhaust gas analysis showed, as the measurement data in FIGS. 4 a, 4 b, 5 a and 5 b show, particularly with an increased fuel nozzle pulse, extremely low NO x and CO emission values, which are far below the legal limit values for industrial burners.
  • a major advantage of the invention is therefore the possibility of a energy-saving and environmentally friendly incinerator with compact burner and Build combustion chamber shape that is used for heat generation at smaller outputs up to 100 kW (such as in household appliances, wall-mounted heaters and boilers), with medium outputs, > 100 kW to 1 MW (e.g. in heating centers, thermal power stations and biomass combustion) and also for larger capacities> 1 MW (e.g. in power plant furnaces and rotary kilns) is suitable.

  • a row of nozzles 12 contains a plurality of nozzles, the jet direction 14 of which can be changed both in the longitudinal central axis and at an angle to it.
  • this allows the fuel to be distributed over different contour areas of the combustion air distribution body, which contributes to the targeted control of the mixing ratios and promotes ignition.
  • fuel swirl can be generated, which leads to more intensive mixing of fuel and combustion air and to the longer residence time of the fuel particles in the flame area.
  • Both fuel nozzle settings (axial and tangential tilt) ensuring together in conjunction with the continuously flowing air from the openings of the combustion air distributor is a NO x - and CO combustion.
  • the tests carried out have shown that the optimum range of the axial and tangential inclination angles of the fuel nozzles is from approximately -45 ° to + 45 ° in relation to the longitudinal direction of the combustion zone.
  • the angle setting depends on the shape of the combustion air distribution body and has a great influence on the quality of the combustion.

  • Natural gas H was fed as fuel by means of a single row of nozzles, the nozzles being adjusted such that every second nozzle was provided with a weak swirl. While the burner output for the relatively small pilot plant was varied between 10 and 22 kW, air figures for the usual and interesting range of 1.2 to 1.5 have been set for combustion plants.
