Because the limit of 8° C. is provided for the purpose of protecting materials, repeater inlet sprays start immediately when not an average but either of reheating steam temperatures in the vessel left and right is going to be 8° C. higher.

  • a pulverized coal burning method for reducing the amount of produced NOx has been disclosed in the Patent Document 1. Specifically, combustion of pulverized coal by an in-flame denitration type pulverized coal burner which forms a reducing flame region short of oxygen takes a point of view that the concentration of NOx in exhaust gas is largely affected by the temperature of the reducing flame region or the air ratio of the reducing flame region.
  • Configuration is made so that a light extractor is attached to the pulverized coal burner, light of flame in the reducing flame region formed by the burner is detected by the light extractor, the detection signal is led to an emission spectrometer, the intensity of emitted light is detected, the temperature of the reducing flame region or the air ratio of the reducing flame region is calculated, and the amount of pulverized coal or the amount of air supplied to the burner is controlled based on a result of the calculation.
  • This pulverized coal burning method is effective in reducing NOx but brings a state short of oxygen as a whole. As a result, there is a problem that production of an unburned component such as CO increases.

  • reheater spray is to cool superheated steam with spray water. This causes lowering of efficiency of the combustion device. Moreover, when the number of times of importing compressed water into a connection pipe in which superheated steam circulates increases, the spray is damaged by thermal shock so that the lifetime of the spay is shortened.
