Abstract

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung und dem Verfahren zur Verbrennung vanadiumhaltiger Brennstoffe wird die außerordentlich hohe Reaktivität der vanadiumhaltigen Brennstoffe zur Verbrennung in einer Staubfeuerung genutzt.In the device according to the invention and the method for The combustion of fuels containing vanadium becomes extraordinary high reactivity of the fuels containing vanadium used for combustion in a dust burner.

Zur Vermeidung der nachteiligen Schlackenanbackungen in der Brennkammer (4) und insbesondere im Bereich von Zuführdüsen, z.B. für das Brennstaub-Luftgemisch und für Verbrennungsluft, wird in einer Staubfeuerung ein Kopfbrenner (2) in einer Decke (14) eines Brennraumes (9) angeordnet und wenigstens eine Staubdüse (5) zur Zuführung des Brennstaub-Luftgemisches derart angeordnet, daß ein Rückströmen flüssiger Schlackepartikel zum Kopfbrenner verhindert wird.

Figure 00000001
To avoid the disadvantageous caking of slag in the combustion chamber (4) and in particular in the area of feed nozzles, e.g. for the fuel dust-air mixture and for combustion air, a head burner (2) is arranged in a ceiling (14) of a combustion chamber (9) in a dust burner and at least one dust nozzle (5) for supplying the fuel-air mixture is arranged in such a way that backflow of liquid slag particles to the top burner is prevented.
