Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un brûleur équipant les fours dans l'industrie du raffinage, de la chimie et de la pétrochimie, ces brûleurs sont aussi appelés « brûleur procédé »et sa mise en oeuvre.The present invention relates to a burner equipping furnaces in the refining, chemical and petrochemical industry, these burners are also called "process burner" and its implementation.
Chacune de ces industries possèdent ses spécificités, cependant ces brûleurs ont généralement les caractéristiques communes suivantes :
- Une puissance limitée de 0,3 à 4,5 MWth,
- Une perte de charge totale de 0 à 200 mmCE,
- Un excès d'air de 10 à 15%,

- A compact construction with the presence of a refractory quarry.
Ces brûleurs sont classifiés suivant différents critères :
- La force motrice de l'air de combustion (tirage naturel, tirage forcé...),
- L'implantation sur le four (en sole, en façade, en plafond...),
- Le choix du combustible (gaz, fioul, mixte...),
- Le niveau d'émissions des oxydes d'azote ou NOx (conventionnel, bas-NOx, Ultra bas-NOx...),

La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement un brûleur bas-NOx à tirage forcé fonctionnant au gaz, pouvant se monter en sole, en façade ou en plafond sur les fours industriels.The present invention relates more particularly to a low-NOx forced draft burner operating on gas, which can be mounted in the floor, front or ceiling on industrial furnaces.
Il existe plusieurs formes pour les fours de procédés, cependant les tubes qui constituent la chambre de combustion sont traversés par un fluide qui reçoit de la chaleur, par transferts radiatifs et convectifs, apportée par les gaz de combustion des brûleurs.There are several forms for process furnaces, but the tubes that make up the combustion chamber are traversed by a fluid that receives heat, by radiative and convective transfers, provided by the combustion gases of the burners.
La maîtrise des flux radiatifs et convectifs est capitale pour assurer le réchauffage du produit et les réactions chimiques du procédé à l'intérieur des tubes le cas échéant, tout en garantissant leur intégrité mécanique.The control of radiative and convective flows is essential to ensure the heating of the product and the chemical reactions of the process inside the tubes if necessary, while guaranteeing their mechanical integrity.
L'évolution de la réglementation des NOx dans l'industrie oblige les fabricants de brûleurs à développer des solutions bas-NOx tout en respectant les contraintes de production.The evolution of NOx regulation in the industry requires burner manufacturers to develop low-NOx solutions while respecting production constraints.
Les brûleurs bas-NOx capables de répondre à cette problématique sont généralement caractérisés par :

- une flamme de diamètre et de longueur importante,
- une perte de charge importante pour maîtriser les dimensions de flamme.

Le brûleur selon l'invention, comprenant un corps de distribution avec un circuit d'injection d'air primaire et un circuit d'injection d'air secondaire constitué de buses, lesdits circuits d'injection sont disposés autour d'un circuit central primaire destiné à créer une flamme axiale, une tête de combustion composé d'un organe de mise en rotation de l'air et un organe de stabilisation de la flamme disposés à l'intérieur du circuit d'injection primaire, et une canne d'injection de gaz dirigée selon un axe du bruleur et disposée à l'intérieur du circuit central primaire, il est caractérisé en ce que les circuits d'injection d'air primaire et secondaire sont dirigés vers l'axe du brûleur. L'inclinaison des circuits d'injection d'air permet un meilleur contrôle de la flamme, à la fois en combustion et en dimension.The burner according to the invention, comprising a distribution body with a primary air injection circuit and a secondary air injection circuit consisting of nozzles, said injection circuits are arranged around a primary central circuit intended to create an axial flame, a head of combustion consisting of an air rotating member and a flame stabilizing member disposed within the primary injection circuit, and a gas injection rod directed along an axis of the burner and arranged inside the primary central circuit, it is characterized in that the primary and secondary air injection circuits are directed towards the burner axis. The inclination of the air injection circuits allows better control of the flame, both in combustion and in size.
Avantageusement, le circuit d'injection d'air secondaire présente deux parois faisant respectivement un angle β1 et β2 compris entre 10° et 60° avec l'axe du brûleur. Les deux angles peuvent être identiques ou différents, dans ce cas on préférera que les parois convergent. Cette inclinaison est réalisée sur la partie aval du circuit, c'est-à-dire la partie la plus proche de la flamme, le reste du circuit pouvant être parallèle à l'axe du brûleur.Advantageously, the secondary air injection circuit has two walls respectively making an angle β 1 and β 2 between 10 ° and 60 ° with the axis of the burner. The two angles may be identical or different, in this case it will be preferred that the walls converge. This inclination is carried out on the downstream part of the circuit, that is to say the part closest to the flame, the rest of the circuit being able to be parallel to the axis of the burner.
Avantageusement, le circuit d'injection d'air primaire présente une paroi faisant un angle α1 compris entre 10° et 60° avec l'axe du brûleur. La paroi est inclinée en partie aval du brûleur, on a ainsi une forme conique convergeant vers la flamme et qui permet l'accélération de l'air primaire à la sortie du brûleur.Advantageously, the primary air injection circuit has a wall making an angle α 1 between 10 ° and 60 ° with the axis of the burner. The wall is inclined downstream of the burner portion, so there is a conical shape converging towards the flame and which allows the acceleration of the primary air at the exit of the burner.
Avantageusement, le circuit d'air primaire est distant de r1 de l'axe du bruleur, le circuit d'air secondaire de r2 et que le rapport r1/r2 est compris entre 0,1 et 0,5.Advantageously, the primary air circuit is remote from r 1 of the burner axis, the secondary air circuit of r 2 and the ratio r 1 / r 2 is between 0.1 and 0.5.
Avantageusement, le nombre de buses d'air secondaire est supérieur ou égal à 2. L'effet de convergence des flux d'air est ainsi meilleur.Advantageously, the number of secondary air nozzles is greater than or equal to 2. The convergence effect of the air flows is thus better.
Avantageusement, le corps de distribution présente une excroissance du côté de la flamme et faisant un angle α2 compris entre α1/2 et 60° avec l'axe du brûleur. Cette excroissance qui dépasse dans le foyer permet d'amorcer un phénomène de recirculation interne des fumées ayant pour effet d'appauvrir en O2 la zone secondaire et de réduire la température de flamme. L'angle α2 de l'excroissance forme un cône de dépassement qui permet d'augmenter la quantité de fumées recyclées.Advantageously, the distribution body has a protrusion on the side of the flame and making an angle α 2 between α 1/2 and 60 ° with the axis of the burner. This protrusion that exceeds in the home allows to initiate a phenomenon of internal recirculation of fumes having the effect of depleting O 2 secondary area and reduce the flame temperature. The angle α 2 of the protrusion forms a passing cone which makes it possible to increase the amount of recycled fumes.
Avantageusement, l'excroissance a une longueur d2 supérieure ou égal à r1 x 0,1. Cette excroissance permet de maintenir un faible niveau général de NOx.Advantageously, the protrusion has a length d 2 greater than or equal to r 1 x 0.1. This growth makes it possible to maintain a low general level of NOx.
Avantageusement, la tête de combustion comprend un organe de mise en rotation de l'air et un organe de stabilisation de la flamme et elle est placée à une distance d1 non nulle de l'extrémité du brûleur du côté de la flamme. Ce positionnement de la tête de combustion permet une combustion en sous-stoechiométrie du combustible gaz qui favorise la formation de radicaux d'hydrocarbures et minimise la concentration d'azote et d'oxygène tout en réduisant ainsi la température de flamme locale. Cette configuration de la tête de combustion et de la buse gaz permet d'assurer un accrochage nécessaire et suffisant de la flamme pour garantir la stabilité générale du brûleur, tout en maîtrisant la formation de NOx. Cette zone primaire est une zone à faible production de NOx.Advantageously, the burner head comprises a rotating body of the air and a flame stabilizing element and is placed at a distance d 1 of the nonzero end of the burner on the side of the flame. This positioning of the combustion head allows a sub-stoichiometric combustion of the fuel gas which promotes the formation of hydrocarbon radicals and minimizes the concentration of nitrogen and oxygen while reducing the local flame temperature. This configuration of the combustion head and the gas nozzle ensures a necessary and sufficient attachment of the flame to ensure the overall stability of the burner, while controlling the formation of NOx. This primary zone is a zone with low NOx production.
Avantageusement, la paroi du circuit d'injection d'air primaire est inclinée à partir d'une distance d3 de l'extrémité du brûleur du côté de la flamme telle que d3 est inférieure ou égale à d1. Ceci permet la convergence des flux d'air primaire.Advantageously, the wall of the primary air injection circuit is inclined from a distance d 3 of the end of the burner on the flame side such that d 3 is less than or equal to d 1 . This allows the convergence of the primary air flows.
L'invention concerne également la mise en oeuvre d'un brûleur avec au moins une des caractéristiques précédentes, cette mise en oeuvre est caractérisée en ce que le brûleur a un débit d'air primaire Qp ≤ 50% d'un débit total d'air.The invention also relates to the use of a burner with at least one of the preceding characteristics, this implementation is characterized in that the burner has a primary air flow rate Qp ≤ 50% of a total flow rate of air.
Avantageusement, le brûleur comprend une zone primaire à l'intérieur du corps de distribution dans laquelle la combustion est sous stoechiométrique du combustible. Ceci favorise la formation de radicaux d'hydrocarbures en minimisant la concentration d'azote et d'oxygène et réduit ainsi la température de flamme locale.Advantageously, the burner comprises a primary zone inside the distribution body in which the combustion is under stoichiometric fuel. This promotes the formation of hydrocarbon radicals by minimizing the concentration of nitrogen and oxygen and thus reduces the local flame temperature.
Avantageusement, la combustion est réalisée dans la zone primaire avec un rapport air carburant λ ≤ 0,5.Advantageously, the combustion is carried out in the primary zone with a fuel air ratio λ ≤ 0.5.

Pour la présente description, l'axe X du bruleur et l'axe de la flamme sont confondus. Le sens d'écoulement de l'air se fait dans le sens de la flèche f de la
Le brûleur 1 comprend un corps de distribution d'air 2, une tête de combustion 3 et une canne d'injection du gaz 4. La tête de combustion 3 est disposée sur la canne d'injection de gaz 4, l'ensemble étant placé à l'intérieur du corps de distribution d'air 2 (cf.
Le corps de distribution d'air 2 illustré
Le corps de distribution d'air 2 présente une excroissance 22 côté sortie qui va dépasser à l'intérieur du four 5. Cette excroissance 22, aussi appelée convergent, est un volume compris entre deux cônes et sa face intérieur 220 est dans le prolongement de la paroi de forme conique 201, d'angle α1; sa face extérieure 221 est conique convergente d'angle α2, son extrémité 222 est placé à l'intérieur du four 5.The
La tête de combustion 3, illustrée
L'organe de mise en rotation de l'air 30, aussi appelé « rosace », est disposé à l'intérieur du circuit central primaire 20, à une distance d1 définie, de l'extrémité 222 du convergent (voir
L'organe de stabilisation 31 de la flamme 6 est composé d'un disque annulaire 310 de diamètre extérieur φ2 et d'un nombre Np2 d'éléments d'accrochage 311 disposés autour du disque suivant une position définie dans la rosace 30. Ces éléments d'accrochage sont disposés à la périphérie du disque annulaire 310 et se présente sous la forme de surfaces planes coplanaires avec le disque 310. Le disque annulaire 310 comprend un orifice 32 permettant la détection de la flamme 6 depuis l'extérieur.The stabilizing
Il existe une relation géométrique entre le diamètre extérieur φ1 de la rosace 30 et le diamètre extérieur φ2 du disque 310 telle que φ1 /φ2 ≤ 1 et une relation entre nombre Np1 de pales 300 de la rosace et le nombre Np2 d'éléments d'accrochage 311 de la rondelle 30 telle que Np1 / Np2 = N où N est un nombre entier.There is a geometric relationship between the outside diameter φ 1 of the

Le perçage secondaire 42 permet de faire passer le débit gaz secondaire 50% ≥ QGS ≥ 2% du débit gaz total du brûleur. Le gaz secondaire est éjecté par l'intermédiaire d'un nombre NGS de trous secondaires 420et suivant un angle θ2 défini par rapport à l'axe X du brûleur.The
Le nombre de trous gaz secondaire NGS et le nombre d'éléments d'accrochage 311 de la rondelle de balayage Np2 sont tels que NGS / Np2 = N où N est un nombre entier, ainsi une partie du gaz secondaire est dirigée vers les éléments d'accrochage 311.The number of secondary gas holes N GS and the number of
Le brûleur 1 comprend ainsi un circuit d'air primaire Ap disposé dans le circuit primaire 20 autour de la canne d'injection 4 et un circuit d'air secondaire As circulant dans les conduits secondaires 21.The burner 1 thus comprises a primary air circuit Ap disposed in the
Nous allons maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du brûleur 1 en référence à la
On identifie trois zones :
- une zone primaire P placée à l'intérieur du brûleur 1 entre la paroi de forme conique 201 et l'extrémité de la canne d'injection 4,
- une zone secondaire S situé dans le four 5 et,
- une zone tertiaire T située dans le four 5 à la sortie immédiate du brûleur 1.
- a primary zone P placed inside the burner 1 between the
conical wall 201 and the end of the injection rod 4, - a secondary zone S located in the oven 5 and,
- a tertiary zone T located in the oven 5 at the immediate exit of the burner 1.
La zone primaire P correspond à la combustion en sous-stoechiométrie (λ≤0,50) du combustible gaz à l'intérieur du circuit primaire minimisant la concentration d'azote et d'oxygène et favorisant la formation de radicaux d'hydrocarbures. Cette combustion en sous-stoechiométrie permet ainsi de réduire la formation de NOx.The primary zone P corresponds to the sub-stoichiometric combustion (λ≤0.50) of the fuel gas inside the primary circuit minimizing the concentration of nitrogen and oxygen and promoting the formation of hydrocarbon radicals. This sub-stoichiometric combustion thus makes it possible to reduce the formation of NOx.
La forme de la tête de combustion 3 et la forme de la buse 40 ainsi que leur position, permet d'assurer un accrochage nécessaire et suffisant de la flamme 6 pour garantir la stabilité générale du brûleur 1, tout en maîtrisant la formation de NOx. Cette zone primaire P est une zone à faible production de NOx.The shape of the
La zone secondaire S correspond à l'introduction progressive d'air de combustion afin de maîtriser la formation de NOx et d'imbrûlés. L'injection progressive angulaire d'air secondaire de combustion permet de maîtriser les dimensions de la flamme.The secondary zone S corresponds to the progressive introduction of combustion air in order to control the formation of NOx and unburnt. The angular progressive injection of secondary combustion air makes it possible to control the dimensions of the flame.
La zone tertiaire T correspond à la zone de recirculation interne de fuméesTertiary zone T corresponds to the zone of internal recirculation of fumes
Dans la zone tertiaire T, l'excroissance 22 dépassant du brûleur 1 dans le foyer du four 5 permet d'amplifier un phénomène de recirculation interne des fumées 50 ayant pour effet d'appauvrir en O2 la zone secondaire S et de réduire la température de flamme 6. L'angle extérieur α2 du cône de l'excroissance 22 défini par rapport à l'axe X du brûleur (
Le dépassement du convergent dans le foyer d2 et le diamètre du convergent primaire sont tels que d2 ≥ r1 x 0,1.The overflow of the convergent in the focus d 2 and the diameter of the primary convergent are such that d 2 ≥ r 1 x 0.1.
