| 20090136882 | BURNER WITH ATOMIZER - A burner comprising channels for the separate supply of a liquid fuel and an oxygen-containing gas. The burner comprises a twin-fluid atomizer head comprising first flow-through passages fluidly connected to the supply channel for oxygen-containing gas and second flow-through passages fluidly connected to the fuel supply channel. The second flow-through passages exit into the first flow-through passages at a point before the first flow-through passages exit into a coaxial ring of orifices. A cooling jacket envelopes the supply channel walls. The orifices run through the atomizer head at a distance from the cooling jacket. The atomizer head can, for example, be made of a first metal, such as a copper alloy, and the cooling jacket can be made of a second metal with a lower thermal conductivity than the first metal, for example steel. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090274986 | Merging combustion of biomass and fossil fuels in boilers - A method of injection and combustion control and related injection nozzles and lances are described which facilitate the merging of the combustion of fossil fuels and separately added solid biomass waste product fuels in the form of pelletized chars and fine particulates. The teachings of this inventor's earlier patent, “Variable Gas Atomization,” U.S. Pat. No. 4,314,670, (referred to herein as VGA) are employed. They are applied in a distinctly different manner so as to enable air conveyed and injected solids to be accelerated, propelled and distributed in the combustion zone of fossil or biomass fuel boilers. While the use of an annular nozzle configuration with conically flared exit tips is generally similar, the functions to be performed, and the related conical exit configuration, differ. An assembly of five concentric, annular tubes and conically shaped exit tips is used to deliver air conveyed biomass fuel as an annular stream between two higher velocity air streams, both of which converge so as to accelerate and propel the biomass fuel, and distribute it into the flame zone produced in a conventional fossil fueled boiler. The additional air required for combustion of the biomass fuel is fed to the expanding plume produced by the fuel delivery stream and adjoining air streams. A portion of the combustion air is delivered through the inside of the inner tube in sufficient volume to provide the entrainment flow produced by the expanding air streams. In so doing, it prevents undesirable recirculation of combustion gases and unburned fuel. The remainder of the combustion air is delivered through an additional annular nozzle located on the opposite side of the expanding streams to similarly mix with the fuel. | 11-05-2009 |

The distributor element includes a plate-like portion extending as a continuation of the connecting flange and extending substantially in an orthogonal direction to the axial direction of extension of the cylindrical head, the plate-like portion having through apertures for distributing the mixture to the burner head. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20140038115 | Dense/Dilute Pulverized Coal Separator Structure of Single-fireball Octagonal Direct-flow Burner - The invention discloses a dense/dilute pulverized coal separator structure of a single-fireball octagonal direct-flow burner, of which a boiler body is provided with eight burner groups, each water cooled wall is provided with two burner groups respectively, each of the burner groups comprises multiple nozzles toward the same burner, and center lines of all nozzles on the eight burner groups form an imaginary tangent circle in a furnace along the same tangential direction. In the dense/dilute pulverized coal separator structure, eight burner groups are arranged on four water cooled walls of the boiler, thus increasing pulverized coal concentration of a pulverized rich coal area, allowing wall heat load qHr of a lower burner area to be higher, allowing burning temperature of the area to meet requirements for anthracite burning stability, shortening distance of jet flow from a nozzle outlet to downstream adjacent air flow, being capable of using lower primary pulverized coal air flow velocity, enhancing heat flow intensity at the nozzle outlet, improving convection and radiation heat transfer capacity, and ensuring timely ignition of pulverized anthracite air flow and stable burning of the boiler at low load without oil. | 02-06-2014 |

The furnace may contain a boiler with a chamber having four corners. Four burner groups located at the four corners may be configured to eject pulverized coal flow into the chamber for combustion, in order to form a single fireball substantially at the center of the chamber during combustion. Each burner group may contain a first burner which includes primary-air/rich-portion nozzles for ejecting rich-portion coal flow into a lower section of the chamber, and a second burner which includes primary-air/thin-portion nozzles for ejecting thin-portion coal flow into a higher section of the chamber. | 03-06-2014 |

| 20140308620 | PULVERIZED COAL FIRED BOILER WITH WALL-ATTACHMENT SECONDARY AIR AND GRID OVERFIRE AIR - The present invention relates to a pulverized coal fired boiler with wall-attachment secondary air and grid overfire air. Primary burners including primary air spouts, secondary air spouts and close coupled overfire air spouts arranged at intervals along the height direction of a hearth are arranged on four corners of the hearth. Two-way wall-attachment secondary air spouts and one-way wall-attachment secondary air spouts are arranged from bottom to top in a primary combustion zone where the primary burners are located. One-way wall-attachment secondary air spouts are arranged in a reduction zone between the primary burners and the top overfire air spouts, and grid overfire air spouts are arranged in a burnout zone where the overfire air is supplied. By adopting the pulverized coal fired boiler with wall-attachment secondary air and grid overfire air according to the present invention, the NO amount generated in the hearth is reduced, the NO reduction rate along a flame is improved, the coke burnout rate is improved, less coke which is not burnt out enters into the burnout zone, slagging on the water-cooled wall is reduced, and ultralow emission of NOx may be realized on the premise that the combustion efficiency is not reduced, slag is not agglomerated in the hearth and the flue gas temperature deviation is small. | 10-16-2014 |
