Abstract
To reduce the amount of nitrogen oxide emissions and achieve more reliable operation of the TPP-210A boiler, a process arrangement for firing Grade TR Kuznetsk coal that involves using straight-flow burners and shifting the boiler from slag-tap to dry-ash removal is developed. Owing to a large burner downward slope angle and special arrangement of burners and nozzles, four large vertical vortices rotating in opposite directions are produced in the furnace lower part, as a result of which the combustion products dwell for a longer period of time in the burning zone and more complete fuel combustion is achieved. For verifying the operability and efficiency of the proposed combustion arrangement, investigations on a boiler furnace physical model were carried out using a technique for visualizing fuel jets and secondary and tertiary overfire air jets. The fuel jet temperature boundaries in the course of jet propagation in the furnace model are also determined. The study results have shown that staged fuel combustion will be set up with using the proposed arrangement of burners and nozzles. In addition, large vertical vortices produced in the furnace lower part will help to achieve more efficient use of the dry bottom hopper heating surfaces, due to which lower coal combustion product temperature in the furnace upper part and smaller content of combustible products in fly ash will be obtained. Owing to low values of air excess factor at the pulverized coal burner outlet and gradual admission of air into the vortex zone through a few nozzles with intense inner recirculation of combustion products to the jet initial section, staged combustion of pulverized coal and low nitrogen oxide emissions will be secured. Owing to expansion of fuel jets, a rapid growth of mass in the fuel jet is achieved, which is obtained both due to ejection of the jet itself and due to forced admission of hot fuel gases from other jets. Investigations carried out on the physical model have confirmed that the proposed combustion arrangement features high efficiency and that a low content of nitrogen oxides in flue gases is obtained.
