ここで、固体粉末燃料とは、石炭、オイルコークス、固体状バイオマスなどの単体或いは混合物を粉砕した微粉状の燃料をいう。
内側ガスノズル24は、軸線32を囲みながら該軸線32に沿って延在し、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34を火炉5に供給可能である。軸線32は、火炉5の外壁に対し直交していても傾斜していてもよい。内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34は例えば空気である。また、例えば、排ガスを再循環させて、これに酸素を混合させて燃焼用ガスとして用いる酸素燃焼を適用する場合には、燃焼用酸素含有ガスは二酸化炭素と酸素が主体の混合ガスとなる。
燃料供給ノズル26は、軸線32に沿う方向でみたときに内側ガスノズル24を囲み、固体粉末燃料と搬送用ガスの混合流体36を火炉5に供給可能である。固体粉末燃料は例えば微粉炭であり、搬送用ガスは例えば空気である。
流速比調節機構30は、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の噴出流速Fcと外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の噴出流速Foの相対的な流速比を調節可能である。
そして、バーナ20は、燃料供給ノズル26の出口よりも下流にて、混合流体36の噴出流の内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34側及び外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38側に、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bがそれぞれ形成されるように構成されている。なお、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bとは、固体粉末燃料が着火して燃焼する領域である。内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bは、燃料供給ノズル26の出口の直下流に形成される。
一方、燃料供給ノズル26から噴出した混合流体36と外側ガスノズル28から噴出した外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38との間には外側循環渦42bが形成される。外側循環渦42bを強くすれば、外側循環渦42bによって、燃料供給ノズル26に向かう高温ガスの流れ(外側高温ガス循環流44b)の流量が増加し、外側高温ガス循環流44bの熱によって、外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38側の外部保炎域40bにおける着火及び保炎の安定化を図れる。
なお、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の噴出流速Fcと外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の噴出流速Foの相対的な流速比を調節可能であれば、国際公開第98/03819号に記載された内部保炎用空気ノズルを設けなくても、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bの各々の着火及び保炎の安定化を図れる。
なお、本明細書において、筒形状とは、図2、図4及び図5に示したような円筒形状に限定されず、図9に示したような多角形筒形状も含むものとする。
内部保炎器46は、内側ガスノズル24の出口部に配置され、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流れを絞るように構成されている。
外部保炎器48は、外側ガスノズル28の出口部に配置され、外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流れが軸線32から逸れるように構成されている。
なお、バーナ20が内部保炎器46及び外部保炎器48を更に備えている場合には、バーナ20にとって、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bをそれぞれ形成するための他の構成は必須ではない。
幾つかの実施形態では、外部保炎器48は、外側ガスノズル28の出口部の周縁から外側に向かって延びる板形状の部材によって構成される。
なお本明細書においては、特に断らない限り、内側とは、軸線32に対し交差する方向(径方向)にて軸線32に近い側をさし、外側とは、軸線32から遠い側をさすものとする。
この構成によれば、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流路及び外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流路の入口が同一のガス供給源である風箱22に接続されているので、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流路に配置されたダンパによって、簡単な構成にて確実に、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の噴出流速Fcと外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の噴出流速Foの相対的な流速比を調節可能である。
幾つかの実施形態では、中間保炎器50は、燃料供給ノズル26の出口部を横切るように配置された板形状の部材によって構成される。
上記したバーナ20では、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の噴出流速Fcが、外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の噴出流速Foよりも速いことにより、外部保炎域40bから内部保炎域40aに向かって流れる高温ガスの流量が増加し、内部保炎域40aの着火及び保炎の安定化を確実に図れる。
なお、例えば、2つ以上の外側ガス流路28a,28b,28cは、外側ガスノズル28の内部に1つ以上の筒形状の部材を配置することにより形成可能である。
上記したバーナ20c,20d,20eでは、外側ガス流量調節器52によって、外側ガス流路28a,28b,28cのうち外側ガス流量調節器52が配置された外側ガス流路から流出する外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流量を調節することができる。これによって、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bの各々の着火及び保炎の安定化をより一層図れる。
なお例えば、外側ガス流量調節器52は、可動ベーンやダンパによって構成される。
上記したバーナ20c,20d,20eでは、第2外側ガス流路28bを流れる外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38によって、外側循環渦42bが大きくなり、外部保炎域40bの着火及び保炎の安定化をより一層図れる。外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流れが広がることで、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bに亘る還元域が大きくなり、NOx生成が抑制される。
幾つかの実施形態では、第2外側ガス案内板54は、円錐台形状の部材によって構成されている。
上記したバーナ20c,20d,20eによれば、第2外側ガス流路28bを流れる外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38に旋回成分を付与することによって、外側循環渦42bが大きくなり、外部保炎域40bの着火及び保炎の安定化をより一層図れる。また、第2外側ガス流路28bを流れる外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38に旋回成分を付与することによって、外側循環渦42bがさらに拡大され外部保炎域40bの着火及び保炎の安定化がさらに促進されるとともに、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bに亘る還元域がさらに大きくなり、NOx生成がさらに抑制される。
なお、旋回付与機構56は、固定されていても可動であってもよい。例えば旋回付与機構56は、固定ベーンや可動ベーンによって構成される。
幾つかの実施形態では、図8に示したように、バーナ20eは、第3外側ガス流路28cに配置された旋回付与機構56を更に備える。
上記したバーナ20では、制御装置60によって流速比調節機構30を自動的に制御することで、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bの各々の着火及び保炎の安定化を容易且つ確実に図れる。
上記したバーナ20では、制御装置60が圧力センサ62a,62bの出力基づいて流速比調節機構30を制御することによって、内部保炎域40a及び外部保炎域40bの各々の着火及び保炎の安定化を容易且つ確実に図れる。
幾つかの実施形態では、濃縮器66は、燃料供給ノズル26の内壁を囲むように配置された部材であって、燃料供給ノズル26の内壁と外壁との間に、これら内壁及び外壁の各々と隙間を存して配置された部材によって構成される。当該部材によれば、混合流体36を内壁側と外壁側とに分離することができ、搬送用ガスに比べて比重が大である固体粉末燃料を、内壁側と外壁側に偏らせることができる。
例えば、濃縮器66は、環形状の部材によって構成され、図示しない支持部材によって支持される。
上記した案内部材70によれば、内部保炎器46の火炉5側表面に沿って内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の一部を流すことで、内部保炎器46を冷却することができるとともに内部保炎器46への灰付着の抑制を可能とする。
なお、本明細書において、環形状という表現には、円形状の外に、多角形状等も含まれるものとする。
上記した案内部材76によれば、外部保炎器48の火炉5側表面に沿って外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の一部を流すことで、外部保炎器48を冷却することができるとともに外部保炎器48への灰付着の抑制を可能とする。
図14に示したように、案内部材82は、混合流体36のうち少なくとも一部を、中間保炎器50の火炉5側表面に沿って流れるように案内するように構成される。
上記した案内部材82によれば、中間保炎器50の火炉5側表面に沿って混合流体36の一部を流すことで、中間保炎器50を冷却することができるとともに中間保炎器50への灰付着の抑制を可能とする。
また、図13及び図14に示したように、案内部材82が中間保炎器50の中央部を覆っている場合、外側高温ガス循環流44bの両側に外側循環渦42cが形成され、外部保炎域40bにおける着火及び保炎をより一層安定させることができる。
例えば、2つ以上の内側ガス流路24a,24bは、内側ガスノズル24の内部に1つ以上の筒形状の部材を配置することにより形成可能である。また、流量調節器88は、最内ガス流路24aを形成する壁の開口を開閉可能な扉によって構成可能である。
ここで、固体粉末燃料の性状としては、例えば、石炭の燃料比をあげることができる。石炭の燃料比は、石炭にそれぞれ含まれる固定炭素と揮発分の比であり、燃料比が高いほど、揮発分が少ない。高燃料比の石炭を用いた場合、揮発分が少ないため、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流量が多いと、還元が弱くなり、NOx生成量が増加してしまう。しかしながら、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流量を単に減少させた場合、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の噴出流速Fcが低下し、内部保炎域40aの形成が困難になるおそれがある。
燃料比が高いか否かは、燃料比が閾値を超えているか否かで判定することができる。例えば、石炭の燃料比が高い(高燃料比)とは、燃料比がおよそ2以上であることをさし、石炭の燃料比が低い(中低燃料比)とは、燃料比がおよそ2未満であることをさすものとする。この閾値は、燃料の種類や粉末燃料の粒度にも依存し、燃焼試験炉での試験結果などに基づき決定してよい。
このような点を考慮し、幾つかの実施形態では、高燃料比の場合に外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の噴出流速Foが最適になるよう、外側ガスノズル28の流路面積に十分な大きさが予め与えられる。そして、中低燃料比の場合には、外側ガス流量調節器52によって、外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流量(総流量)が減少させられ、この減少分に対応する量にて、内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流量(総流量)が増加させられる。
このような点を考慮し、幾つかの実施形態では、図8に示したように外側ガスノズル28が第1外側ガス流路28a、第2外側ガス流路28b、及び、第3外側ガス流路28cを有するバーナ20eにおいて、中低燃料比の場合に外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流量(総流量)を減らす際に、第2外側ガス流路28bにおける外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流量の減少率に比べ、第3外側ガス流路28cにおける外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流量の減少率が大きくなるよう、外側ガス流量調節器52が操作される。換言すれば、外側ガスノズル28が複数の外側ガス流路を有する場合に、最外の外側ガス流路における外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流量の減少率が最も大きくなるように、外側ガス流量調節器52が操作される。これにより、中低燃料比の場合に、外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の噴出流速Foの減少を抑制することができ、外側循環渦42bが弱くなることを抑制することができる。
なお、流速比調節機構30、流量調節器88及び外側ガス流量調節器52は、手動で操作するものであってもよい。
幾つかの実施形態では、火炉5に対し、バーナ20の上方に、酸素含有ガスを供給可能な追加燃焼用ガスノズル100が取り付けられる。
例えば、内部保炎器46は内側燃焼用酸素含有ガス34の流れを絞るように構成されていればよく、内部保炎器46の大きさ、形状及び配置等は図2等に例示したものに限定されることはない。ここで、図21は、バーナ20cの変形例であるバーナ20gの構成を概略的に示している。バーナ20gでは、内部保炎器46を構成する板状部材が、内側ガスノズル24の出口部の周縁に対し、直角以外の角度、例えば90度超の鈍角をもって連なっている。この外、内部保炎器46を構成する板状部材は、外部保炎器48を構成する板状部材に対し一体に連なっていてもよい。
一方、外部保炎器48は、外側ガスノズル28の出口部に配置され、外側燃焼用酸素含有ガス38の流れが軸線32から逸れるように構成されていればよく、外部保炎器48の大きさ、形状及び配置等は図2等に例示したものに限定されることはない。例えば、前述したように外部保炎器48を構成する板状部材は内部保炎器46を構成する板状部材に対し一体に連なっていてもよく、又、外側ガスノズル28の出口部の周縁に対し、直角以外の角度、例えば90度超の鈍角をもって連なっていてもよい。更に、外部保炎器48は、図21に示したように、断面L字形状の板状部材によって構成されていてもよい。
