Abstract:
A valve assembly including a block forming a bore. An air inlet opening is in communication with the bore, and provides a volume of air into the bore. The bore provides communication between the air inlet opening and at least one air outlet passage. A fuel inlet opening is in communication with the bore, and provides a volume of fuel into the bore. The bore provides communication between the fuel inlet opening and at least one fuel outlet passage. A pintle is slidably positionable within the bore to control the volume of air directed out of the bore through the air outlet passage and the volume of fuel directed out of the bore through the fuel outlet passage.
Abstract:
A combustion rotation system that utilizes the placement, direction, and/or unbalanced fuel injection flow rates to the burners in a fuel-injection power boiler, such as pulverized coal, oil or gas fired boiler, to achieve Inboard/Outboard (I/O) rotation of the combustion mass or other types of mixing of the combustion mass. The over fired air (“OFA”) ports may also be placed, directed, and/or operated to contribute to the rotation of the combustion mass. The fuel-injection combustion rotation system may also be controlled while the boiler is operation, and controlled automatically, through a master control system. The fuel-injection combustion rotation system induces multiple vortex rotation of the combustion mass, which is more efficient and effective than attempting to rotate the entire combustion mass in a single vortex.

Abstract:
A combustion system equipped with one or more carbonaceous fuel burning combustors (e.g., slagging Cyclone combustor) and adapted to minimize nitrogen oxide (NOx) formation during staged combustion operation by selective introduction of oxygen through at least one of the combustors to create a hot sub-stoichiometric combustion zone by reducing the diluent effect of nitrogen and other inert gases present in the oxidizer/air. A method of operating the combustion system of the invention with reduced NOx emissions is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A premixed air-fuel mixture supply device is joined to a combustor liner included in a combustor for a gas turbine or an aircraft engine. The premixed air-fuel mixture supply device has a pilot fuel injection unit having an inner wall, and a prevaporizing, premixing main fuel injection unit having an outer wall surrounding the inner wall. A combustion air passage is defined by the inner and the outer wall. An intermediate wall is disposed in the combustion air passage so as to divide an upstream part of the combustion air passage into a secondary combustion air passage surrounding the inner wall, and an outer combustion air passage surrounding the intermediate wall. Fuel inject holes are formed in the intermediate wall to inject fuel radially outward into the outer combustion air passage. A swirling device is disposed in the secondary combustion air passage to swirl combustion air flowing through the secondary combustion air passage. An atomization lip is formed in a tail part of the intermediate wall.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and to a device intended for spontaneous combustion of a fuel comprising organic, vegetable or mineral materials, the device comprising a combustion chamber, at least one fuel injection means, at least one air inlet, hot fumes discharge means. Chamber (1) comprises a cylindrical shell (11), the discharge means comprise a pipe (6) having the same axis as the chamber and arranged inside said chamber, and fuel injection means (7) is arranged substantially tangential to said cylindrical shell so that the fuel follows a circular motion around said pipe in the chamber.
Abstract:
A method of operating a pulverized coal-firing furnace so as to achieve no more than a predetermined variation in the instantaneous vertical velocities of the flow exiting a combustion chamber of the furnace is provided. The method includes, in one variation thereof, providing a series of lower compartments for introducing therethrough one of air, fuel, and air and fuel into the combustion chamber. At least one upper compartment is disposed above the topmost compartment of the series of lower compartments at a relative disposition to the topmost compartment in a spacing range between a contiguous disposition to a more spaced disposition which is no more than twice the average spacing between any given compartment and an adjacent compartment. Air is injected from the at least one upper compartment generally in opposition to the swirling fireball along a direction which is offset to the other side of the diagonal in a manner such that the injected air promotes the evolution of the swirling fireball into an upward flow in the top half of the furnace characterized by portions thereof flowing upward at differing vertical velocities with a maximum variation of no more than thirty percent between the instantaneous vertical velocities of the portions of the upward flow as measured across a horizontal plane in the top half of the furnace.
Abstract:
A combustion chamber is provided that has a vertically oriented body with an inner surface defining an inner combustion area. A burner is disposed adjacent one end of the body so that the flame of the burner when lit will extend into the combustion area. A first annular insert is disposed in the combustion area and generally surrounds the flame of the burner. The annular insert defines a first secondary gas introduction zone for introducing secondary gases into the combustion area so that the secondary gases can be oxidized by the burner flame. The insert has an inner surface presenting at least one opening for allowing fluid communication between the introduction zone and the combustion area. A second annular insert is disposed in the combustion area below the first insert. The second insert defines a secondary gas extraction zone and a second secondary gas introduction zone located below the extraction zone. The gas extraction zone and second secondary gas introduction zone are separated by a divider plate. The gas extraction zone and second secondary gas introduction zone are generally separated by an annular inner wall which has openings therein to allow fluid communication between the combustion area and the extraction zone and second secondary gas introduction zone.
Abstract:
A combustion system in which a coal/primary air mixture is discharged from burners located in the corners of the furnace towards an imaginary circle disposed in the center of the furnace. Air is discharged from air nozzles also located in the corners of the furnace in two flow streams--one directed towards the center of the furnace in a combustion-supporting relation to the fuel, and the other along the inner surfaces of the furnace boundary walls to maintain an oxidizing atmosphere and minimize corrosion and slagging.
Abstract:
A secondary air distribution for a furnace in which an housing is provided for receiving air and a set of dividers are located in the housing for dividing the air passing through the housing into a plurality of streams. A set of dampers are disposed in the housing and are located relative to the dividers for controlling the flow of each of said streams. Additional dividers are provided for splitting each of the streams of air flow and an additional set of dampers are disposed in the housing and are positioned relative to the additional dividers for controlling the flow of each of the split stream portions to the modules.
