摘要:
A multi-stage heating apparatus having a first stage combustion chamber, a second stage combustion chamber, a primary porous matrix chamber disposed between the first and second stage combustion chambers, a secondary porous matrix chamber, heat exchanger tubes for transfer of heat from the combustion products to a working fluid, a recirculation device for recirculating combustion products in the first and second stage combustion chambers to the root of flames therein. A mixture of fuel and primary oxidant is introduced into the first stage combustion chamber, and the products of combustion therein are conveyed to the porous matrix chamber disposed between the first and second stage combustion chambers. After undergoing intensive heat transfer in the porous matrix chamber, the cooler products of combustion flow into the second stage combustion chamber forming additional products of combustion. The products of combustion then flow to a second porous matrix chamber in which they undergo further intensive heat transfer. From there, the products of combustion pass through an economizer for preheating a working fluid and through a condenser for removing moisture in the combustion products prior to being exhausted.
摘要:
Improved operational characteristics such as improved fuel efficiency, reduction of NOx formation, reduction of the amount of unburned carbon in the ash, and lessened tendency to corrosion at the tube wall, in a multi-burner furnace are obtained by reducing the flow rate of combustion air to the burners and selectively individually feeding oxidant to only some of the burners.
摘要:
In a gas burner for introducing a fuel/air mixture into a combustion chamber, a tube is provided for introducing a source of primary air into a core portion of the fuel air mixture. The resulting secondary flame that is produced within the primary flame causes a reduction of NOX gases, which can be attributed to the dispersion of combustion byproducts within the primary flame. In one embodiment, the air supply tube enters the area of the fuel air mixture radially and then turns and extends axially along an extended axis of the burner.
摘要:
A method of operating a solid fuel-fired furnace having a plurality of windboxes each having a plurality of compartments through which fuel and air are introduced into the furnace and a fuel and air arrangement operated in accordance with the method are provided. Solid fuel is fed into the furnace and primary air and fuel are fed through the same compartments into the furnace in a direction tangential to a first imaginary circle generally located in the center of the furnace so as to interact with the fuel fed into the furnace so as to create a rotating fireball. Overfire air and offset air are also supplied into the furnace, the offset air being that portion of the air supplied to the furnace so as to support a second imaginary circle concentric to, and having a larger diameter than, the first imaginary circle. The total air supplied into the furnace is thus composed of primary air, additional combustion supporting air, overfire air, and offset air supplied in accordance with a prescribed relationship between the components of the supplied air.

NOx emissions from combustion are reduced, NOx reduction efficiency by SNCR is improved, and other efficiencies are realized, by injecting oxygen into a fuel-rich combustion zone under controlled conditions.
摘要:
In a method of, and an appliance for, operating a burner (26), in which a combustion air flow (14) transports fuel into a combustion chamber (28) where the fuel is burnt, the formation of coherent flow instabilities of the combustion air flow (15) after emergence into the combustion chamber (28) is prevented by perturbation air (22) being injected into the combustion air flow (15).
摘要:
NOx formation in the combustion of solid hydrocarbonaceous fuel such as coal is reduced by obtaining, from the incoming feed stream of fuel solids and air, a stream having a ratio of fuel solids to air that is higher than that of the feed steam, and injecting the thus obtained stream and a small amount of oxygen to a burner where the fuel solids are combusted.
摘要:
A furnace that combusts fuel, such as coal, of a given minimum energy content to obtain a stated minimum amount of energy per unit of time is enabled to combust fuel having a lower energy content, while still obtaining at least the stated minimum energy generation rate, by replacing a small amount of the combustion air fed to the furnace by oxygen. The replacement of oxygen for combustion air also provides reduction in the generation of NOx.
摘要:
A burner (10) for reducing NOx emissions where supply fuel (16) and supply air (20) are supplied to a combustion tunnel (52) at high and low velocities and secondary air (26) is supplied to a secondary combustion zone (60), wherein products of combustion (59) exiting into the secondary combustion zone (60) from the combustion tunnel (52) are drawn back into the combustion tunnel (52) and back into the secondary air conduit (54).
摘要:
A combustion method for carrying out combustion with reduced generation of NOx wherein high velocity fuel and oxidant in a very low substoichiometric ratio are combusted and thereafter secondary oxidant mixes and combusts with the resulting combustion reaction products.
