Description
- Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a nozzle tip for a pulverized coal burner, and more particularly, to a nozzle tip of a pulverized coal burner, which is capable of preventing the abrasion and separation of flame stabilizers due to the flow of pulverized coal.
- In a tangential firing boiler, the nozzle tip of a coal burner is generally disposed at a corner within a combustion chamber.
- In addition, the direction of the nozzle tip of the coal burner may vary when the boiler is operated. For example, the flame temperature in the combustion chamber may be regulated by changing the direction of the nozzle tip in the upward and downward directions, and the supply direction of coal as fuel may vary by changing the nozzle tip in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of flame in the state in which the nozzle tip is away from the center of the combustion chamber.
- The configuration of a conventional nozzle tip will be described below with reference to
Figs. 1 to 3 . -
Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the state in which a conventional nozzle tip is installed at the end of a fuel pipe.Fig. 2 is a perspective view for explaining the configuration of the conventional nozzle tip.Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view ofFig. 2 . - As illustrated in
Fig. 1 , anozzle tip 20 is installed at the end of afuel pipe 10, and thenozzle tip 20 hasdriver holes driver holes bent shaft 12 by the operation of the actuator. - The nozzle tip may consist of a plurality of nozzle tips arranged in the combustion chamber in a coal burner. Only some of the nozzle tips are employed and the remaining nozzle tips may be used as spare parts.
- Since the
nozzle tip 20 is directly exposed to the combustion chamber, thenozzle tip 20 has a dual wall for an improvement in durability. Coal is supplied to the internal space of the nozzle tip, and a portion of air for combustion is supplied outside the internal space (to the space between the inside and the outside). - Hereinafter, the
conventional nozzle tip 20 will be described in more detail with reference toFigs. 2 and3 . In the nozzle tip, an outertubular body 40 is disposed outside an innertubular body 30,guide blades 50 are disposed inside the innertubular body 30, andshare bars 60 are disposed at the sides of the inner surface of the innertubular body 30. A gap member is disposed between the innertubular body 30 and the outertubular body 40 to define a space portion. - In addition, one side of the inner
tubular body 30 is connected to the end of thefuel pipe 10 by thebent shaft 12, with the consequence that the nozzle tip is assembled to the fuel pipe so as to bend the direction of the nozzle tip. - The inner and outer
tubular bodies - The
share bars 60 serve to pull flame toward thenozzle tip 20 by swirling air and pulverized coal. Theshare bars 60 are constituted as a single body and each has an elongated rectangular shape. In addition, one surface of theshare bar 60 is fixed to theinner surface 32 of the innertubular body 30 by welding (W), and particularly therespective share bars 60 are fixedly coupled to the front ends of the upper and lower sides of the innertubular body 30. - However, one surface of each of the
share bars 60 may be partially or entirely worn due to the collision with pulverized coal flowing by theguide blades 50. - In addition, since the
nozzle tip 20 is exposed to high radiant heat in the combustion chamber, the welded portions of theshare bars 60 may be cracked due to the radiant heat, resulting in the separation of the share bars from the nozzle tip. - If the share bars are worn or separated, the nozzle tip may not perform the specific function thereof. In particular, if one of the share bars constituted as a single body is separated, the share bars lose an original function for pulling flame toward the nozzle tip. Hence, there is a problem in the regulation of flame temperature and the assurance of nitrogen oxide (NOx).

tubular body 200 in a flame direction in asecond passage 220 which is formed between the outer and inner tubular bodies. - A bent shaft (not shown) may be installed to one side of the outer portion of the inner
tubular body 100 so as to be installed to a fuel pipe. The flame in a furnace may be adjusted by changing the discharge direction of pulverized coal in upward and downward directions depending on the temperature in the furnace. - Although not shown in the drawings, a cover tubular body may be coupled to the fuel pipe at the rear of the outer
tubular body 200 so as to cover a portion of the fuel pipe. - The
guide plate 300 may be horizontally installed inside the innertubular body 100, in order to guide the introduction direction of pulverized coal and partition thefirst passage 120. - The
guide plate 300 allows the mixture of pulverized coal and air discharged from the innertubular body 100 to uniformly flow. When pulverized coal is discharged from the nozzle tip in the upward or downward direction, theguide plate 300 may prevent the mixture of pulverized coal and air from being concentrated upward or downward in thefirst passage 120. - The
flame stabilizers 400 are arranged in a row at each of upper and lower sides in the innertubular body 100. Theflame stabilizers 400 may be installed at the front ends of the innertubular body 100, to which pulverized coal is discharged through thefirst passage 120, in order to actively mix fuel and oxidizer and perform advanced ignition. - In addition, the
flame stabilizers 400 serve to pull flame toward the nozzle tip by swirling air and pulverized coal. - The number of flame stabilizers may vary according to the size of the nozzle tip, and is preferably two to six. Seven or more flame stabilizers may be provided. However, if the number of flame stabilizers is more than enough, it may take a lot of time and labor to manufacture the nozzle tip. Therefore, it is preferable to provide an adequate number of flame stabilizers.
- Through the arrangement of a plurality of
flame stabilizers 400, even when some of the flame stabilizers are separated, the function of the flame stabilizers may be maintained by the remaining flame stabilizers. - The
flame stabilizers 400 may be fixed to the inner surface of the innertubular body 100 by welding or by separate members such as bolts. Specifically, the inner tubular body is formed with holes for the installation of the flame stabilizers, and the flame stabilizers are formed with holes at positions corresponding to the holes of the inner tubular body. Subsequently, after pins are simultaneously inserted into the holes of the inner tubular body and the holes of the flame stabilizers, the flame stabilizers may be coupled to the inner tubular body by welding the flame stabilizers to the inner tubular body and welding the pins to the outside of the inner tubular body. - In addition, each of the
flame stabilizers 400 is preferably made of a material having high durability to abrasion and damage, and may be made of a high-hardness material such as ceramic or cemented carbide. The ceramic may include, for example, silicon carbide, alumina, and a mixture of alumina and zirconia, and the cemented carbide may include, for example, tungsten carbide (WC). However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. - The pulverized coal mixed with air flows at a high speed in the
first passage 120 of the inner tubular body, and thus pulverized coal particles collide with theflame stabilizers 400. - In order to prevent the abrasion of the
flame stabilizers 400 due to collision according to the flow of pulverized coal, each of theflame stabilizers 400 has aninclined surface 420 which is formed on the side thereof facing the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120 so as to be inclined toward the central portion of the innertubular body 100. - As illustrated in
Fig. 5 , since pulverized coal flows from the rear to the front in thefirst passage 120, theinclined surface 420 is formed on the rear side of theflame stabilizer 400. - Accordingly, since the
inclined surface 420 is formed on the side of theflame stabilizer 400, which collides with pulverized coal, the pulverized coal collides obliquely instead of vertically with the rear side of theflame stabilizer 400. Consequently, the momentum of pulverized coal particles may be dispersed and the wear resistance of the flame stabilizer may be enhanced. - This may be seen in
Figs. 10 and 11. Fig. 10 is a view illustrating the flow temperature distribution in the conventional nozzle tip.Fig. 11 is a view illustrating the flow temperature distribution in the nozzle tip of a pulverized coal burner. In the conventional nozzle tip, it may be seen that the temperature around the side of the flame stabilizer facing the flow direction of pulverized coal is very high due to collision since the rear side of the flame stabilizer is vertically formed. However, in the nozzle tip according toFIGs. 4 and5 , it may be seen that the temperature of the rear side of the flame stabilizer is not high. - In addition, when comparing the nozzle tip of
FIGs. 4 and5 with the conventional nozzle tip, there is no change in flow pattern such as a reduction in recirculation region. In addition, it is seen that the flow rates in line A at the outlets of both nozzle tips to which pulverized coal is discharged are similar to each other. - In addition, since the conventional nozzle tip is exposed to high-temperature environment for a long time, various ingredients of pulverized coal flowing in the first passage are affected by high temperature. For this reason, the pulverized coal may be attached to the inner surface of the inner tubular body or the flame stabilizer, and hence a slagging phenomenon may occur.
- However, since pulverized coal flows along the
inclined surface 420 of the flame stabilizer, pulverized coal particles are not cumulatively attached to the flame stabilizer and the flow of pulverized coal is not reduced. Therefore, it is possible to effectively maintain the function of the nozzle tip. - As illustrated in
Fig. 5 , theinclined surface 420 is a flat surface. Specifically, the front side of theflame stabilizer 400 forms an angle of 90° with the inner surface of the innertubular body 100, and theinclined surface 420 is inclined such that the width of the flame stabilizer is narrowed toward the central portion of the innertubular body 100 from the inner surface thereof in the cross-section of the nozzle tip. - In this case, the
inclined surface 420 preferably forms an angle of 30 to 50° with the inner surface of the innertubular body 100. When the angle is less than 30°, the inclined surface is elongated. On the other hand, when the angle is more than 50°, the momentum of pulverized coal particles may not be effectively dispersed in the event that the inclined surface collides with pulverized coal flowing in thefirst passage 120. - Since the
flame stabilizer 400 has a wide area compared to the conventional flame stabilizer having a rectangular plate shape and is fixed to the inner surface of the innertubular body 100, it is possible to prevent the separation of the flame stabilizer due to abrasion. - As describe above, the inclined surface may be integrally formed on the flame stabilizer. Alternatively, as illustrated in
Fig. 8 , each of flame stabilizers includes a flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400 which is fixed into an inner tubular body and a wear-resistant member 3500 which is detachably coupled to the side of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400, facing the direction in which pulverized coal flows in afirst passage 120. The wear-resistant member 3500 may have aninclined surface 3520 formed such that thefirst passage 120 is narrowed in the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120. - That is, the flame stabilizer may have a structure in which the wear-
resistant member 3500, having theinclined surface 3520 formed such that thefirst passage 120 is narrowed in the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120, is detachably coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400 having a conventional elongated rectangular plate shape as illustrated inFig. 3 . The wear-resistant member 3500 is detachably coupled to the side of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400, facing the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120. - Accordingly, since the
inclined surface 3520 of the wear-resistant member, with which pulverized coal collides, is formed on the side of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400, with which pulverized coal does not directly collide, the pulverized coal collides obliquely instead of vertically with the rear side of the wear-resistant member 3500. Consequently, the momentum of pulverized coal particles may be dispersed and the wear resistance of the flame stabilizer may be enhanced, similar to the first embodiment. - Moreover, since the wear-
resistant member 3500 is detachably coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400, the wear-resistant member 3500 may be attached to the conventional flame stabilizer. Thus, only the wear-resistant member may be replaced to thereby reduce replacement costs, and the function of the flame stabilizer may be consistently maintained during the replacement. - According to
FIG. 8 , the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400 may have a rectangular shape, and the wear-resistant member 3500 may have a triangular shape while theinclined surface 3520 is a flat surface. In this case, theinclined surface 3520 preferably forms an angle of 30 to 50° with the inner surface of the innertubular body 100. The wear-resistant member 3500 may be coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400 by welding or bolting. Alternatively, the wear-resistant member 3500 may be coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400 in such a manner that the protrusion of the wear-resistant member 3500 is fitted into the groove of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 3400. - Next, a nozzle tip of a pulverized coal burner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
Figs. 6 and7 . The nozzle tip according to the embodiment differs from the nozzle tip according toFIGs. 4 and5 in terms of the structure of an inclined surface, and the remaining structures are identical to each other. Therefore, only a different structure will be described without the description of the same structure. - In the embodiment as illustrated in
Fig. 7 , aninclined surface 1420 is a curved surface. Specifically, the front side of thestabilizer 400 forms an angle of 90° with the inner surface of the innertubular body 100, and theinclined surface 1420 may be formed such that the width of the flame stabilizer is narrowed toward the central portion of the innertubular body 100 from the inner surface thereof in the cross-section of the nozzle tip. Theinclined surface 1420 has a quadrant shape that is concave toward the central portion of the innertubular body 100. - As described above, the inclined surface may be integrally formed on the flame stabilizer. Alternatively, in another embodiment illustrated in
Fig. 9 , each of flame stabilizers includes a flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400 which is fixed into an inner tubular body and a wear-resistant member 4500 which is detachably coupled to the side of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400, facing the direction in which pulverized coal flows in afirst passage 120, similar toFIG. 8 . The wear-resistant member 4500 may have aninclined surface 4520 formed such that thefirst passage 120 is narrowed in the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120. - That is, the flame stabilizer may have a structure in which the wear-
resistant member 4500, having theinclined surface 4520 formed such that thefirst passage 120 is narrowed in the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120, is detachably coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400 having a conventional elongated rectangular plate shape as illustrated inFig. 3 . The wear-resistant member 4500 is detachably coupled to the side of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400, facing the direction in which pulverized coal flows in thefirst passage 120. - According to the embodiment of
FIG. 9 , the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400 may have a rectangular shape, and the wear-resistant member 4500 may have theinclined surface 4520 which is curved at the side of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400 facing the flow direction of pulverized coal. The curved surface has a quadrant shape that is concave toward the central portion of the innertubular body 100. The wear-resistant member 4500 may be coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400 by welding or bolting. Alternatively, the wear-resistant member 4500 may be coupled to the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400 in such a manner that the protrusion of the wear-resistant member 4500 is fitted into the groove of the flamestabilizer fixing portion 4400. - Ultimately, it is possible to prevent the abrasion and separation of the flame stabilizers, to extend the service life of the nozzle tip, and to stably reduce NOx and UBC.
- As is apparent from the above description, in accordance with a nozzle tip of a pulverized coal burner according to the present invention, an inclined surface is formed on the side of each of flame stabilizers or the wear-resistant member thereof, facing the direction in which pulverized coal flows in a first passage in the nozzle tip. Accordingly, the pulverized coal collides obliquely instead of vertically with the flame stabilizer or wear-resistant member, thereby enabling the momentum of pulverized coal particles to be dispersed and enabling the wear resistance of the flame stabilizer or the wear-resistant member to be enhanced.
- In addition, since pulverized coal flows along the inclined surface of the flame stabilizer or the wear-resistant member, pulverized coal particles are not cumulatively attached to the flame stabilizer or the wear-resistant member and the flow of pulverized coal are not reduced. Therefore, it is possible to effectively maintain the function of the nozzle tip.
- In addition, since the flame stabilizer has a wide area compared to a conventional flame stabilizer having a rectangular plate shape and is fixed to the inner surface of an inner tubular body, it is possible to prevent the separation of the flame stabilizer due to abrasion.
- As described above, it is possible to prevent the abrasion and separation of the flame stabilizers, to extend the service life of the nozzle tip, and to stably reduce NOx and UBC.
- In addition, since the wear-resistant member is detachably coupled to the flame stabilizer, the wear-resistant member can be attached to an existing flame stabilizer. Furthermore, only the wear-resistant member can be replaced to thereby reduce replacement costs, and the function of the flame stabilizer can be consistently maintained during the replacement.
- The present invention is not limited to the foregoing effects, and other effects thereof can be realized by the means as claimed and combinations thereof.
- While the present invention has been described with respect to the specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
