Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an improved burner nozzle assembly for a pulverized coal burner, and more particularly to a nozzle assembly that promotes fuel rich combustion and reduces the formation of nitrogen oxide emissions.
- Many burner configurations have been designed for burning pulverized coal. A problem confronted by such designs is to reduce the production of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the combustion process.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,479,442 and 4,457,241 disclose a dual air zone, controlled combustion venturi, pulverized coal burner assembly used with front or opposed fired utility boilers to provide low NOx combustion. US. Pat. No. 4,517,904 discloses a tertiary staged venturi burner system for reducing NOx emissions from turbo furnace type steam generators. Although the burner assemblies disclosed in these patents have achieved success in providing pulverized coal combustion with low levels of NOx, it would be desirable to provide an improved nozzle assembly for use in these and other burner systems that provides even greater NOx reduction.
- A principal object of the present invention is to provide an improved pulverized coal burner nozzle assembly. Other objects are to provide a pulverized coal burner nozzle assembly that promotes fuel rich combustion and reduces the formation of nitrogen oxides; and to provide a pulverized coal burner nozzle assembly that provides an improvement over known burner assemblies.
- In brief, in accordance with the invention there is provided a nozzle assembly for use in a pulverized coal burner of the type wherein the nozzle assembly discharges into a surrounding stream of axially flowing air. The nozzle assembly includes an elongated tubular nozzle body having a central longitudinal axis and axially spaced inlet and outlet ends. A coal/air supply introduces a flowing mass of pulverized coal and primary air into the inlet end of the nozzle body for axial flow through the nozzle body to the outlet end. A venturi in the nozzle body between the inlet and outlet ends concentrates the flow of pulverized coal and primary air at the center of the nozzle tube and creates a fuel rich central region,. The venturi includes an upstream converging wall section and a restricted venturi throat. A spreader in the nozzle body between the venturi throat and the outlet end includes a plurality of swirl vanes inclined relative to the axis for imparting a swirling motion to the flow of pulverized coal and primary air. A flow stabilizer mounted at the outlet end of the nozzle body includes a first portion extending radially outward from the nozzle body into the surrounding air stream for deflecting the air stream away from the axis. The stabilizer includes a second portion extending radially inward from the nozzle body into the swirling flow of pulverized coal and primary air.
- The present invention together with the above and other objects and advantages may best be understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view, partly broken away, of a burner nozzle assembly for pulverized coal in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is an axial sectional view of a burner assembly including the burner nozzle assembly of claim1, together with flow arrows showing the flow pattern produced in a furnace combustion region by the burner assembly and burner nozzle assembly;
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged isometric view showing the outlet end of the nozzle body and the flame stabilizer of the burner nozzle assembly; and
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken along the line4-4 of FIG. 3.
- Having reference now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a burner nozzle assembly generally designated as10 and constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The
nozzle assembly 10 is used in burner assemblies of the type wherein the outlet of the nozzle assembly is in a stream of air such as secondary air or secondary and tertiary air. Thenozzle assembly 10 is seen in FIG. 2 with a controlled combustion venturi burner assembly generally designated as 12. Thenozzle assembly 10 can also be used with other types of burner assemblies. - The
burner assembly 12 of FIG. 2 supplies a combustible fuel-air mixture into acombustion area 14 defined within aburner wall 16 through a frusto-conical burner throat 18. Theburner assembly 12 has a air ducting system 20 including generally tubular, telescoped secondary andtertiary air ducts secondary air duct 22 has a flaredoutlet 26 located within theburner throat 18. Thetertiary air duct 24 surrounds thesecondary air duct 22 and has anoutlet 28 coinciding with theburner throat 18. The flaredsecondary air outlet 26 is located within the tertiaryair duct outlet 28 and diverts the tertiary air flow in an inclined, radially outward direction as it enters thecombustion area 14. - Swirling motion is imparted to secondary air flowing through the
secondary air duct 22 by fixed swirl vanes 30 located in the secondary air flow path. Similarly, swirling motion is imparted to tertiary air flowing through thetertiary air duct 24 byadjustable swirl vanes 32 located in the tertiary air flow path. A tertiary airswirl adjustment mechanism 34 is operated by atertiary air actuator 36 to tailor the tertiary air swirling motion to the requirements of a specific furnace application. If desired, the swirl vanes 30 for the secondary air flow could also be adjustable in a similar manner. - The volume of secondary air flowing through the
secondary air duct 22 is determined by the position of a secondaryair control damper 38. The volume of tertiary air flowing through thetertiary air duct 24 is adjustable by operating a tertiaryair shroud actuator 40 in order to move a tertiary airflow control shroud 42. Thetertiary air actuator 36 and the tertiaryair shroud actuator 40 are located in an accessible position outside of aburner front wall 43. A further description of the controlled combustionventuri burner assembly 12 beyond that needed for a complete understanding of the present invention can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,442, incorporated herein by reference. Theburner nozzle assembly 10 can also be used with the tertiary staged venturi burner system disclosed in US. Pat. No. 4,517,904, incorporated herein by reference. - The
burner nozzle assembly 10 is illustrated in FIG. 1.Nozzle assembly 10 includes an elongatedtubular nozzle body 44 extending in an axial direction from aninlet end 46 to anoutlet end 48. A coal/air supply port 50 introduces pulverized coal and primary air into the nozzle body adjacent theinlet end 46, and the coal/air mixture flows axially from theinlet end 46 to theoutlet end 48. As it moves along this flow path, in accordance with the present invention, the coal/air mixture flows through aventuri 52, through aspreader 54 and through aflame stabilizer 56 as described in more detail below. - The
burner assembly 12 is used in a furnace system including coal pulverizers that deliver a slurry or mixture of coal and primary air to thesupply port 50. Thesupply port 50 is part of a coal head 58 having an entry leg 60 generally perpendicular to the axis of thenozzle body 44 and an axial portion 62 aligned with and attached to the inlet end of thenozzle body 44. The upstream end of the axial portion 62 is closed by anend wall 64 seen in FIG. 2. Resistance to abrasion by pulverized coal is provided by aceramic tile lining 66 in the axial portion 62. Vanes 68 (FIG. 2) may be used to guide the entering coal/air stream into theburner nozzle body 44 and produce a uniform, homogeneous mixture of primary air and coal. - The
nozzle body 44 is preferably a right circular cylindrical tube with amain section 70 having aflange 72 bolted to the axial coal head portion 62 and anozzle tip portion 74 attached to the forward end of themain section 70. Theoutlet end 48 of thenozzle body 44 is a circular edge 76 (FIG. 4) and is located within theflared outlet 26 of the secondary air duct 22 (FIG. 2). Abrasion resistance can be provided by alining 77 of ceramic tiles in themain section 70. - As the coal/air mixture moves axially through the
nozzle assembly 12 toward theoutlet end 48, the mixture travels through theventuri 52. Theventuri 52 includes a frustoconical, convergingentry wall section 78 leading to a restricted venturi throat 80 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the remainder of thenozzle body 44. A divergingexit wall section 82 extends from the throat 80 to the nozzlebody outlet end 48. Theventuri 52 concentrates the coal in the traveling coal/air mixture toward the center of the coal nozzle, creating a fuel-rich center core. - After it leaves the venturi throat80, the coal/air mixture with the fuel-rich center core passes through the
spreader 54. Thespreader 54 includes acentral hub 84 carried by aspreader support tube 86 extending axially to the rear of the of the burner nozzle assembly. As seen in FIG. 2, thesupport tube 86 extends rearward through theend wall 64 of the coal head, and can be manipulated to adjust the position of thespreader 54 for optimum performance. Asleeve 88 protects thetube 86 from abrasion. -
Inclined swirl vanes 90 extend outward from thehub 84 and produce a moderate swirling motion of the coal/air mixture. Thevanes 90 are located within the divergingwall section 82 and extend to or near the surface of thewall section 82 in order to divide the single entering coal/air stream into multiple, distinct swirling concentrated lobes or coal streams exiting thenozzle body 44. The multiple coal streams leaving thespreader 54 enter thefurnace combustion area 14 in a gradual helical pattern, assisting control of the location and size of the primary ignition zone, flame length, and combustion characteristics of theburner assembly 10. - To ensure that primary ignition and pyrolysis of the multiple coal streams occur in a localized reducing environment, the
flame stabilizer 56 is mounted at the coalnozzle outlet end 48. Theoutlet end 48 is located in and surrounded by the axially flowing secondary air and tertiary air streams entering thecombustion area 14 from the flaredsecondary air outlet 26 and from theburner throat 18. Theflame stabilizer 56 includes afirst portion 92 that extends radially outward from thenozzle body 44 into the surrounding stream of air. Theflame stabilizer 56 also includes asecond portion 94 that extends radially inward into the path of the multiple coal/air streams exiting thespreader 54. - More specifically, in the preferred arrangement, the
flame stabilizer 56 is preferably a ring attached to the outlet end 48 of the nozzlebody tip portion 74. To simplify fabrication, the ring is segmented, with fourquadrant sections 96 seen in FIG. 3. Each section is fastened bybolts 98 tolugs 100 welded to the interior of the nozzlebody tip portion 74 at thecircular edge 76. Theflame stabilizer ring 56 includes a circularbase ring section 102. Thefirst portion 92 extending into the surrounding air stream is a flaredskirt section 104 that extends outward beyond the periphery of thecoal nozzle body 44 into the secondary air flow path. The secondflame stabilization portion 94 takes the form ofmultiple teeth 106 protruding radially inwardly into the outlet of theburner nozzle body 44. - The
flame stabilizer ring 56 produces adistinct separation zone 107 between the primary air/coal mixture and the flow of secondary air. The separation effect is illustrated by flow arrows seen in FIG. 2. The effect is symmetrical about the central axis of thenozzle assembly 12, and arrows are shown in only one half of the ignition zone in thefurnace combustion area 14. The pattern in the other half is similar.Arrows 108 illustrate the smooth, flared boundary region provided by tertiary air flow.Arrows 110 illustrate the secondary air flow within the tertiary air flow, and show the radially outward spreading effect that is imparted to the secondary air flow by theskirt section 102 of theflame stabilizer 56. - The improved pulverized coal combustion characteristics achieved with the
burner nozzle assembly 12 of the present invention reduce undesirable NOx emissions released to the surrounding environment from utility boilers and furnaces. Theseparation zone 107 created by theflame stabilizer 56 is within the flared secondary air flow path shown byarrows 110. Within thisseparation zone 107 created by theflame stabilizer 56, as shown in FIG. 2, hot combustion products recirculate back to the nozzle tip in a primary internal recirculation zone near the coal nozzle. This recirculation is indicated by arrows 112. The flow patterns then reverse flow direction back downstream and mix with secondary air in a secondary recirculation zone adjacent to the secondary air stream from the burner. The mixing reverse flow is indicated by arrows 114. - The primary internal recirculation zone creates a secondary ignition zone along the primary air/coal stream leaving the coal nozzle. This ensures that hot combustion products from the primary ignition zone are brought back to the burner discharge around the periphery of the
nozzle outlet end 48 to create flame attachment and separation of the primary air/coal from the secondary air. The combustion and hot combustion products in the primary internal recirculation zone adjacent to the nozzle tip heat the incoming coal and primary air streams and create conditions for proper ignition, pyrolysis, and stability of the low NOx coal flame. Because theventuri 52 in thenozzle body 44 concentrates the larger-sized coal particles toward the center of the coal/air stream, only the finer, smaller coal particles flow over theflame stabilizing ring 56. This envelope of smaller coal particles enhances ignition and pyrolysis of the pulverized coal stream. - While the present invention has been described with reference to the details of the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, these details are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed in the appended claims.
