Abstract:
A description is given of a burner for introducing solid, liquid or gaseous fuel into the burning zone of a kiln, such as rotary kiln for manufacturing cement clinker or 'similar materials, said burner comprising a burner pipe (1) which encircles a number of ducts for conveying fuel and combustion air through the burner. The burner is characterized in that the burner pipe (1) is made up of modules (1a, 1b) which are fixed to another by fixing means (9) which will allow non¬ destructive assembly and disassembly of the modules. Hereby is obtained a burner in which it will be possible in a simple and non-destructive manner to disassembly the burner pipe (1) in modules (1a, 1b) in direction from the free end of the burner (7) or the burner tip. As a result, the outermost module of the burner pipe (1) which constitutes the burner tip can easily be disassembled for repair or replacement and/or for repair or replacement of components incorporated in the burner tip so that maintenance and upgrading of the burner to the latest technology can be carried out in the simple and non-destructive manner.
Abstract:
A description is given of a burner for introducing solid, liquid or gaseous fuel to a burning zone of a kiln, such as a rotary kiln for manufacturing cement clinker or the like, said burner comprising a number of substantially concentric ducts (1, 2, 3), being parallel to the main axis B3 of the burner, for conveying fuel and primary air to nozzle openings, as well as a number of additional ducts (4, 6, 7, 8) for conveying solid, fluid or gaseous fuel to separate nozzle openings, said additional ducts being located in the central part (10) of the burner. The burner is characterized in that it comprises means (4a, 5) for changing the flow direction of the fuel which is introduced via at least one of the additional ducts in the central part (10) of the burner, relative to the main axis B3 of the burner, at least in an ascending direction. This will allow the individual fuel particles to travel in a curved, approximately ballistic path, thereby extending the time they can be maintained in the flame. Another advantage of this configuration of the burner is that the large particles will attain the highest, and hence the longest, path, since the path of the smaller particles will to a greater extent than is the case for the large ones be deflected by the primary air which is injected via the outer annular primary air nozzle which is parallel to the main axis of the burner. Hence it will be possible to achieve a more uniform combustion of all particles, regardless of their size. It will be possible to change the path of the particles by altering the velocity or direction of injection.

Abstract:
This is a description of a burner for introducing solid particulate fuel to a burning zone of a kiln such as a rotary kiln for manufacturing cement clinker or similar, said burner comprising a centrally located duct (1) for conducting solid fuel to an inlet opening (16) and at least one duct (3, 4) for conducting primary air to one or more annular nozzles (17) surrounding the inlet opening (16) of the centrally located duct (1). The particular aspect of the burner is the fact that the centrally located duct (1) for conducting solid fuel is arranged so that the direction (5) of introduction of the fuel relative to the longitudinal axis (6) of the burner and consequently the direction of introduction of the primary air may be adjusted continuously during operation of the burner. Hereby is obtained a burner with which different types of solid particulate fuels and mixtures thereof may be introduced via one and the same duct to the burning zone of a kiln so that the quantity of transport air and the cost of the burner are reduced. This is because the direction of introduction of the solid fuel relative to the longitudinal axis of the burner and consequently the direction of introduction of the primary air may be adjusted to the optimal direction for the solid fuels introduced at any time notwithstanding the type or mixing ratio of these so as to avoid burnout of the burner lining and at the same time achieving a longer introduction path for the fuel.
