  In Patent Documents 1 to 3, secondary air can be injected from the nozzle to perform good secondary combustion. However, it is desirable to further improve the combustion efficiency and sufficiently recover the radiant heat from the flame.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, Comprising: It aims at providing the combustion apparatus which can obtain radiant heat effectively by performing sufficient secondary combustion.

A combustion apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a combustion furnace in which a primary flame region is formed, and injects secondary air from the opposed position in the longitudinal axis direction of the primary flame region to the primary flame region side, An opposed secondary air nozzle that forms an air layer in the vicinity of the tip of the primary flame region in the longitudinal axis direction, and an outer periphery that injects secondary air so as to form an air layer that surrounds the outer peripheral region of the primary flame region. A secondary air nozzle, and the peripheral secondary air nozzle injects secondary air from a plurality of positions in the longitudinal axis direction toward the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral region of the primary flame region .

Near the tip of the primary flame region in the longitudinal axis direction by injecting secondary air from the opposed position in the longitudinal axis direction of the primary flame region formed inside the combustion furnace to the primary flame region side by the opposed secondary air nozzle To form a secondary combustion region. As a result, gas phase combustion occurs at a high temperature, the unburned portion in the primary flame region is processed, and radiant heat is generated. Furthermore, a secondary combustion area | region is formed in the outer peripheral area | region of a primary flame area | region by injecting secondary air with respect to the outer peripheral area | region of a primary flame area | region by an outer periphery secondary air nozzle. As a result, gas phase combustion occurs at a high temperature, the unburned portion in the primary flame region is processed, and radiant heat is generated.
As described above, since the secondary combustion region is formed not only in the vicinity of the front end portion of the primary flame region but also in the outer peripheral region, the secondary combustion region can be formed so as to cover substantially the entire primary flame region. By performing sufficient secondary combustion, radiant heat can be generated effectively.

  Furthermore, the combustion apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a heat exchanger provided in the combustion furnace.

  By providing a heat exchanger in the combustion furnace, heat radiation generated by the flame formed in the combustion furnace can be effectively recovered. The heat recovered by the heat exchanger is used to generate steam, for example, and can be used for various heat sources, steam turbine power generation, and the like.

  Furthermore, in the combustion apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention, the outer peripheral secondary air nozzle injects secondary air toward the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral region of the primary flame region.

Further, by adopting a spiral shape, the secondary air injected from the outer peripheral secondary air nozzle can be swirled and flowed, and the straightness of the secondary air in the longitudinal axis direction can be improved. For example, when the spiral shape is positioned so that the axial direction is in the horizontal direction, it is possible to suppress the secondary air from being directed upward due to buoyancy by improving straightness.

  Furthermore, in the combustion apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention, the opposed secondary air nozzle has an annular portion having an annular shape in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis.

The opposed secondary air nozzle has an annular part that forms an annular shape in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so that the area that blocks flame radiation compared to the case where a nozzle head is provided on the longitudinal axis. Can be reduced. Thereby, more radiant heat can be collect | recovered.
The annular portion may be a single annular ring, or may be a multiple annular portion such as a double or triple having a common center.

  By providing an outer peripheral secondary air nozzle that injects secondary air in the outer peripheral region of the primary flame region, radiant heat can be effectively obtained by performing sufficient secondary combustion.

Specifically, the fuel is injected on both sides in the direction of the longitudinal axis L1 (see arrow A4 in FIG. 1) and below the arc nozzle 16a (see arrow A5 in FIG. 2). The secondary air thus injected forms an air layer with a small thickness so as to surround the outer peripheral region of the primary flame region formed by the primary flame F1. Moreover, the secondary air injected from the upper outer peripheral secondary air nozzle 16 is injected so as not to reach the primary flame region. For example, the reach distance of the secondary air injected from the injection port is 20 cm or more and 30 cm or less.
