Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for reducing NO.sub.x production during combustion in an tangential burner. Air nozzles are arranged tangentially to a fuel/air nozzle and are tilted relative to the fuel air nozzle. Upon operation, spaces are formed between the air flow and the fuel flow which entrain laterally combustion gases thereby delaying mixing of the air and fuel flows. By this delay, NO.sub.x production is reduced.
Abstract:
Horizontally arranged burners for boiler furnaces are provided where each burner includes a fuel nozzle surrounded by a secondary air outlet. The fuel nozzle and secondary air outlets may tilt in tandem with respect to an air plenum supplying inner secondary air and a fuel carrier providing fuel. Also provided are outer secondary air buckets that may independently tilt with respect to a frame connected to the air plenum. This arrangement can be installed as a retrofit in a conventional horizontal furnace system or in a newly built system. The fuel nozzle and secondary air outlet, and secondary air buckets may all tilt in unison or may all tilt independently. The tilting assists with optimizing a flame temperature profile within the furnace.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a burner structure which efficiently cools a nozzle body with a minimized air quantity while taking effective protection measures against falling of clinker or radiation heat. SOLUTION: The burner structure comprises: a pulverized coal mixed air passage 11 disposed in a burner central part to supply mixed air of fuel and primary air; a secondary air passage 12 disposed on the outer circumferential part of the passage 11 to supply secondary air; a cooling air passage 13 disposed on, above or below the outer circumferential part of the passage 12 to supply cooling air; a tiltable nozzle body 17 attached to the furnace-side end of the passage 11 and the passage 12 and including a flame stabilizer 16 at a tip portion thereof; and a tiltable cooling air nozzle 18 attached to the furnace-side end of the passage 13.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a novel pivot pin assembly (410, 420 430, 600) for pivotally attaching nozzle tips (200) to stationary nozzles in a solid fuel furnace. The pivot pin assemblies allow rapid replacement of the nozzle tips (200). The pivot pin assembly (410, 420 430, 600) employs fasteners that or recessed or have an aerodynamically shaped head (610). The head (610) includes a leading edge (613) and optionally a trailing edge (615) that are aerodynamically shaped to reduce corrosion and erosion. The pivot pin assembly pivotally attaches the nozzle tip (200) to the stationary nozzle (110). It employs fasteners that are accessible from a furnace side through a central opening of the nozzle tip (200). This allows removal of the nozzle tip (200) from inside the furnace greatly simplifying nozzle tip (200) replacement.
Abstract:
A nozzle (20) for feeding combustion maintaining medium into a furnace (10) at high temperature conditions includes a nozzle tip, partly protruding into the furnace, and a feeding mechanism. The nozzle tip includes an open ended outer shell (28), an air cooling zone (32), a shroud (36), and an air channel (40). The outer shell (28) includes a first end wall portion in flow connection with the feeding mechanism and a second end wall portion protruding into the furnace. The shroud (36) includes a shroud wall portion disposed to cover at least a portion of the first end wall portion of the outer shell (28). The shroud channel (40) is formed between the shroud wall portion of the shroud (36) and the first end wall portion of the outer shell (28), for discharging an air flow along the exterior side of the said second end wall portion.
Abstract:
This invention provides a heating tube and a heating plate which are capable of greatly improving the heat transfer efficiency of a conventional finned heating pipe and a conventional heating plate. Copper oxide powder is deposited in a gas phase on an adhesive agent-applied synthetic resin foam, and a copper plate on which the same metal powder has been deposited is laid on one surface of the foam and pressure-fixed thereto lightly by a roll press to be laminated. The synthetic resin foam is then burnt out in a combustion furnace to obtain metal foam of copper oxide on the copper plate. When the resultant product is reduction sintered in a reducing atmosphere such as a hydrogen reducing furnace, a copper foam having a copper plate on one surface thereof can be obtained. This copper foam can be used as it is as a material for fabricating a heating plate for a heat exchanger.
Abstract:
A radiant energy collecting apparatus (11) for collecting and concentrating solar energy having a primary parabolic reflector (16) which focuses the sun's rays on a focal line (18) and has a principle axis (17) passing through the focal line (18) and a secondary concentrating assembly (20) located adjacent the focal line (17) of the primary reflector (16). The secondary concentrating assembly (20) includes a pair of planar reflectors (26) arranged on opposite sides of the principle axis (17) of the primary reflector (16) and a series of secondary parabolic reflectors (28) between the planar reflectors (26), the secondary parabolic reflectors (28) having focal lines (29) which extend normal to the planar reflectors (26) and to the principle axis (17) of the primary reflector (16). The secondary reflectors (28) are mounted for rotation about their focal lines (29) and concentrate energy on targets (42) extending along their focal lines (29).
Abstract:
An integrated low NOx tangential firing system (12) that is particularly suited for use with pulverized solid fuel-fired furnaces (10), and a method of operating a pulverized solid fuel-fired furnace (10) equipped with an integrated low NOx tangential firing system (12). The integrated low NOx tangential firing system (12) when so employed with a pulverized solid fuel-fired furnace (10) is capable of limiting NOx emissions therefrom to less than 0.15 lb./10 BTU, while yet maintaining carbon-in-flyash to less than 5 % and CO emissions to less than 50 ppm. The integrated low NOx tangential firing system (12) includes pulverized solid fuel supply means (62), flame attachment pulverized solid fuel nozzle tips (60), concentric firing nozzles, close-coupled overfire air (98, 100), and multi-staged separate overfire air (104, 106).
Abstract:
Horizontally arranged burners (100) for boiler furnaces are provided where each burner includes a fuel nozzle (138) surrounded by a secondary air outlet (123). The fuel nozzle (138) and secondary air outlets (123) may tilt in tandem with respect to an air plenum (104) supplying inner secondary air and a fuel carrier providing fuel. Also provided are outer secondary air buckets (152) that may independently tilt with respect to a frame connected to the air plenum. This arrangement can be installed as a retrofit in a conventional horizontal furnace system or in a newly built system. The fuel nozzle (138) and secondary air outlet (123), and secondary air buckets (152) may all tilt in unison or may all tilt independently. The tilting assists with optimizing a flame temperature profile within the furnace.
