Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de combustion de combustible. Le procédé consiste à fournir de l'air de combustion non préchauffé froid et du combustible à poussière dans une chambre de combustion d'une chaudière par l'intermédiaire d'un brûleur (10) pour produire une flamme, l'air de combustion comprenant de l'air primaire (100), de l'air secondaire (200) et de l'air tertiaire (300). La flamme est stabilisée en fournissant une bague de stabilisation de flamme (50) au niveau d'une extrémité aval de la buse de carburant annulaire et de l'air primaire est dirigé à travers un générateur de turbulences (30) au niveau de la buse d'air primaire de telle sorte que l'air primaire a un nombre de turbulences (Sp). Un flux d'air tertiaire est guidé par un manchon de guidage (40) aligné avec une gorge de brûleur (41) selon un angle (α), de telle sorte qu'une zone de recirculation interne (IRZ) est formée entre un flux d'air primaire et le flux d'air tertiaire. Le nombre de turbulences d'air primaire est réglé entre 0,4 et 1,0 par le générateur de turbulences ; la vitesse d'air primaire au niveau de l'orifice de buse d'air primaire est réglée à 30 m/s ou moins ; et la vitesse d'air de support à l'extrémité aval de la buse de combustible annulaire est réglée à 15 m/s ou moins. La vitesse d'air tertiaire est réglée de telle sorte qu'à l'extrémité du manchon de guidage (40), la vitesse d'air tertiaire est de 35 à 50 m/s. La présente invention concerne en outre un brûleur (10) et une chaudière comprenant un brûleur.
