Definitions

  • This invention relates to a burner having reduced N0 X emissions and, in particular, to a burner wherein flow and mix rates may be varied in accordance with the combustion characteristics and demand rate of the burner.
  • the specific adjustments of an existing burner may be retrofitted to vary for optimization with demand.
  • Combustion system burners have come under increased scrutiny for the toxic emissions which are a by-product of the combustion process. Depending upon the extent of combustion, carbon monoxide and NO x may be omitted at unacceptable levels. Carbon monoxide levels can normally be controlled through complete combustion resulting in carbon dioxide. However, three factors contribute to the formation of NO ⁇ in combustion systems. The first and most widely recognized is flame temperature. Most current systems incorporate some method of staging fuel and air to reduce flame concentration and resultant high temperatures. A second factor is excess 0 2 levels. Higher 0 levels tend to provide more oxygen for combination with nitrogen; however, the higher 0 2 levels results in excess air which tends to balance the effect of lower temperatures. The laminar mix in most current low NO ⁇ burners requires more 0 for complete combustion. If lower 0 2 levels are utilized the result is incomplete combustion in the form of carbon monoxide. The third factor is residence time in a critical temperature zone which is virtually ignored in modern burners because reduced time means higher velocities producing unacceptable temperatures.
  • FGR external, induced or forced flue gas recirculation
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior known burner systems by providing a low N0 ⁇ burner with an adjustable design for application in many different systems and in response to different operating conditions.
  • the burner of the present invention may be installed as a retro-fit adapter for existing burner systems.
  • the low N0 ⁇ burner of the present invention includes a plurality of coaxial passageways through which combustion gases flow.
  • Primary air flows through an inner passageway within which a spin vane is positioned.
  • the spin vane may be axially adjusted to optimize combustion.
  • the flow of primary air from the forced air windbox into the burner is controlled by a damper having adjustable louvers to further improve combustion.
  • As the primary air passes through the vane it is caused to spin and mix with the fuel supplied through a series of eductor nozzles radially spaced about the primary combustion zone.
  • the nozzles mix the fuel with secondary combustion air from the windbox prior to eduction into the combustion chamber.
  • recirculated flue gas may be mixed with the fuel in the eductor nozzles.
  • a chamber throat formed of refractory materials forms a secondary combustion zone where reradiation from the refractory throat heats the fuel/air mix and speeds the burning process.
  • a final tertiary burn takes place in a tertiary combustion zone beyond the refractory throat where laminar mixing occurs as a result of the tertiary air supply which bypasses the initial combustion zones.
  • the system of the present invention provides improved reduction of N0 X emissions through three distinct means: (1) Recirculation of flue gases for mixing with combustion fuel prior to injection into the combustion chamber; (2) Use of eductor nozzles to mix combustion fuel with recirculated flue gases prior to combustion; and (3) Injection of a chemical or other secondary compound into flue gas inlet. With flue gas temperatures approximating 400°F the compound injected into the flue gas is vaporized which cools the flue gas resulting in more efficient operation of the eductors and lower flame temperatures. Possible injection compounds include chemicals such as methanol, steam or water, cool air or waste materials.
  • the present system reduces N0 ⁇ emissions without the trade off of increased CO emissions of prior known burners by optimizing the volume and mix of combustion air to the staged combustion zones.
  • the burn temperature and residence time of the combustion gases are controlled through the various adjustments of the burner system.
  • N0 X emission levels are reduced by controlling the 0 2 levels within the combustion zones, temperature of the recirculated combustion gases and residence time within burner. These parameters are controlled by varying the pitch angle of the diffuser blades, the length of the chamber from the vane diffuser to the fuel jets, and the ratio of primary combustion air flowing through the central passage to secondary and tertiary (if present) combustion air flowing to subsequent combustion zones.
  • the present system includes internal flue gas recirculation which maintains the temperature of the recirculated gases while ensuring complete combustion. While the adjustable vane reduces CO levels, recirculation through the eductor nozzles reduces N0 ⁇ levels.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un système de combustion à brûleur à faibles émissions de NOx (10), qui peut être réglé pour produire des taux de combustion, des niveaux de température et des niveaux d'oxygène optimums. Ledit brûleur comprend une pluralité de tuyères à gaz (34, 36, 38) qui aspirent séparément une partie de l'air de combustion, ainsi qu'un diffuseur à aube rotative (20) destiné à faire tourner et à mélanger les gaz à l'intérieur de la zone de combustion primaire. Le diffuseur (20) est réglable axialement, pour faire varier la distance entre l'aube (20) et la première zone de combustion, tandis que l'angle des pales du diffuseur (20) peut être réglé pour optimiser la rotation et le mélange des gaz. L'air pour la combustion est acheminé par un passage (16) destiné à créer des zones de combustion distinctes pour une combustion complète. Le débit de l'air de combustion est régulé par un registre (14) en fonction des caractéristiques de combustion. Une réduction supplémentaire des émissions nocives est obtenue par remise en circulation des gaz de fumée et par mélange de ces gaz directement avec le combustible, avant introduction dans la chambre de combustion par les tuyères de décharge (34, 36, 38). Une autre réduction supplémentaire desdites émissions est obtenue par mélange d'un composé secondaire, tel que de l'eau ou un composé chimique, dans les gaz de fumée remis en circulation, de façon à optimiser les niveaux de combustion, réduisant ainsi les émissions de NOx.
