Abstract:
A method and apparatus for distributing high moisture content material fuel within the furnace of a steam generator organization, said fuel being transported to the furnace pneumatically. An angularly adjustable manifold having series of nozzles is located adjacent the discharge end of the fuel transport line at the point where it enters the furnace. Jets of a dispersion medium supplied to the manifold are directed through the nozzles to apply horizontal and vertical force components to the solid fuel particles issuing from the transport line. The dispersion pattern may be regulated by adjusting the manifold angle and/or the pressure of the dispersion medium.
