Definitions
- This invention relates to a fuel-burning apparatus and, more particularly, to apparatus arranged to produce steam by burning fuel in a combustion chamber in the presence of tubes carrying water or steam.
- Another object of this invention is tlhe provision of a furnace providing the advantages of the directed-flame method of superheat control while maintaining radiant superheater surface in a clean condition.
- a further object of the present invention is the provisilon of a steam generating unit in which the temperature distribution from wall to wall of the furnace is maintained evenly without undue fouling of water-wall tube surfaces.
- FIG. 1 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of a steam generating unit embodying the principles of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the unit taken on the line II-Il 'of FIG. 1, and
- FIG. 3 is a somewhat schematic view of the unit showing a condition of operation different from FIG. 1.
- the steam generating unit indicated generally by the reference numeral 10
- the steam generating unit is shown as consisting of a vertically-elongated combustion chamber 11 formed by a front wall 12, a rear wall 13, side walls 14 and 15, a roof 16, and a bottom 17.
- the upper part of the rear wall 13 is provided with a nose 18 whose upper edge defines with the roof 16 a gas oiftake 19.
- This gas ofitake leads to a back pass 21 terminating in a duct 22 which leads, in turn, to a stack (not shown).
- a main steam-andwater drum 23 At the upper part of the back pass 21 is located a main steam-andwater drum 23 and at the bottom of the pass adjacent the rear Wall 13- is a bottom drum 24, the two drums being joined by downcomer tubes 25. Extending from the bottom drum 24 is a large downcorner 26 leading to headers 27 and 28 located under the bottom 17. Water-wall tubes extend upwardly from the headers 27 and 28 and pass along the walls of the combustion chamber and terminate in the steam-andwater drum in the usual Way.
- abutment '29 Located in the front wall 12 adjacent the bottom 17 is an abutment '29 extending horizontally across the front wall and carrying on its undersurface a directionalflame burner 31.
- a similar abutment 32 extends horizontally across the rear wall ,1? and has on its undersurface a directional-flame burner 33.
- the burners 31 and '33 are of the inter-tube, directional-flame type shown and described in the patent to Craig No. 2,759,460.
- the bottom surface of the upper abutments 34 and 35 leave their respective side walls at approximately the same horizontal plane as the upper surfaces of the abutments 29 and 32 meet their respective front and rear walls.
- the abutments 34 and 35 are immediately above the abutments 29 and 32.
- Located adjacent the side wall 14 above the abutment 34 is a radiant superheater panel 36, while a similar panel 37 is located adjacent the side wall 15 above the abutment 35.
- the backpass 21 is located the primary convection superheater 39.
- each radiant superheater 36 and 37 are arranged on the side walls 14 and 15, respectively, in such a way that the center of gravity of the area provided by the panel is located closer to the front wall 12 than to the rear wall 13.
- each radiant superheater is disposed on its side wall with the major portion of its heating surface closer to the front wall than to the rear wall.
- the heat transfer from the gas to the steam through the radiant superheaters 36 and 37 is at a minimum value.
- the gas passes outwardly of the combustion chamber around the nose 18 through the gas olft'ake 19 and flows in convective heat exchange with the reheater 38, the superheater 39, and the downcomcrs 25. This is the manner in which the burner would usually operate at high load. It can be seen that the gas flow leaving the burners 33 in FIG. 2 flows upwardly through the combustion chamber 11 and is drawn inwardly by the abutments 34 and 35. This means that the gas flow is maintained away from the side walls 14 and 15 and away from the radiant superheaters 36 and 37 so that it does not foul these elements.
- a stream (generating unit comprising (a) front, rear, and side walls forming a verticallyelongatedcombustion chamber, the chamber having a gas offtake located in the rear wall at the upper end of the chamber and having a horizontal nose extending forwardlly from the rear wall immediately under the :gas olftake,
- each burner including the vanes which are adjustable about horizontal axes perpendicular to the side walls to permit the regulation of the flame direction
