Description

[0002] High Temperature Air Combustion (HTAC) is called "mild and deep low oxygen diluted combustion", or gentle combustion for short. It is a new type of combustion method, also known as high temperature air combustion. The main characteristics of this combustion are: the chemical reaction mainly occurs in a high temperature and low oxygen environment, the reactant temperature is higher than its auto-ignition temperature, and the maximum temperature rise during the combustion process is lower than its auto-ignition temperature. The oxygen volume fraction is diluted by the combustion products to an extremely low concentration, usually 3% to 10%. Compared with conventional combustion, in this combustion state, the pyrolysis of the fuel is suppressed, the flame thickness becomes thicker, and the flame front disappears, so that the temperature of the entire furnace is very uniform during this combustion, and the pollutant NO x and CO emissions are significantly reduced.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0056] The present invention proposes a gas water heater and a burner suitable for the gas water heater. Of course, the burner can also be applied to other water heaters or related equipment, such as gas wall-mounted boilers and other related products and equipment that use gas combustion to generate high-temperature hot water for family bathing and heating, etc. For ease of understanding, the following application to a gas water heater is taken as an example.

[0057] In one embodiment, the gas water heater includes a main body, a heat exchanger, a preheater and a burner. The main body is provided with a heat exchange chamber and a smoke exhaust port connected to the heat exchange chamber. The heat exchanger is arranged in the heat exchange chamber. The preheater is installed on the main body. Figure 1 The preheater is used to ignite the mixed gas and transport it to the combustion chamber 200a of the burner, and preheat the combustion chamber 200a to the target temperature. The burner is installed on the main body, and the smoke outlet of the burner is connected to the heat exchange chamber. The burner sprays gas and / or air into the combustion chamber 200a through the nozzle 10, so that a high-temperature air combustion reaction occurs in the combustion chamber 200a.

[0058] The main characteristics of high-temperature air combustion are: chemical reactions mainly occur in a high-temperature, low-oxygen environment, the reactant temperature is higher than its auto-ignition temperature, and the maximum temperature rise during the combustion process is lower than its auto-ignition temperature, and the oxygen volume fraction is diluted to an extremely low concentration by the combustion products. Compared with conventional combustion, in this combustion state, the pyrolysis of the fuel is suppressed, the flame thickness becomes thicker, and the flame front disappears, so that the temperature in the entire furnace is very uniform, the peak combustion temperature is low, the noise is extremely low, and the pollutant NO is very small. x And CO emissions are greatly reduced. However, achieving high-temperature air combustion requires certain conditions: it is necessary to ensure that the oxygen concentration at any position in the furnace is lower than a certain value, generally lower than 5% to 10%, to ensure that the gas is fully decomposed and burned evenly, and the temperature must be higher than the auto-ignition point of the fuel to maintain auto-ignition.

[0059] It should be noted that, since the preheater ignites and burns the mixed gas containing gas and air, high-temperature preheated air is achieved, and then the gas is sprayed through the gas injection pipe to cooperate to produce the entrainment effect, so that the high-temperature flue gas refluxes, on the one hand, it achieves heat preservation so that the temperature is higher than the auto-ignition point of the fuel, so that the gas in the combustion chamber can self-ignite, and on the other hand, the air is diluted by jet entrainment, so that the oxygen concentration is lower than a certain value, and uniform combustion is achieved, so that high-temperature air combustion occurs in the combustion chamber. In other words, the technical solution of this embodiment is conducive to achieving these two conditions at the same time, and smoothly realizing high-temperature air combustion.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the burner proposed by the present invention includes a combustion body 200 and a plurality of nozzles 10. A combustion chamber 200a is formed in the combustion body 200. The plurality of nozzles 10 are arranged on the combustion body 200 and are arranged along the first circumference of the combustion chamber 200a. The injection outlets 100b of the plurality of nozzles 10 are located in the combustion chamber 200a. The plurality of nozzles 10 are used to inject gas and / or air into the combustion chamber 200a and form a swirl flow along the first circumference in the combustion chamber 200a. It should be noted that the plurality of nozzles 10 can be installed at an angle in the combustion chamber 200a. Of course, the nozzles 10 themselves can also be improved to achieve swirl flow.

[0061] In one embodiment, the present invention further proposes a new nozzle 10. It should be noted that the nozzle 10 of this embodiment is applicable to not only the above-mentioned high-temperature air combustion burner, but also other common burners, which is not limited here.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the nozzle 10 includes a nozzle body 100, and the nozzle body 100 has an air inlet 100a, an injection outlet 100b and an injection channel 100c connecting the air inlet 100a and the injection outlet 100b; the injection channel 100c is divided into an air inlet section and an air outlet section from the air inlet 100a to the injection outlet 100b, and the air outlet section is bent relative to the air inlet section to change the direction of the airflow ejected through the air inlet section.

[0063] In this embodiment, the shape of the nozzle body 100 can be a curved tube or square, etc., wherein a curved injection channel 100c can be provided in the square nozzle body 100, and the nozzle body 100 can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here. The nozzle body 100 can be an integrally formed structure, and the air inlet section and the air outlet section can be formed by injection molding; of course, a split structure can also be adopted, and the nozzle body 100 can be assembled together by bonding or clamping two or more parts, and sealing rings can be provided between the parts to prevent leakage of gas and / or air, and the specific structure of the nozzle body 100 is not limited here.

[0064] It can be understood that the nozzle 10 of the present invention is provided with an air inlet 100a, an injection outlet 100b and an injection channel 100c connecting the air inlet 100a and the injection outlet 100b on the nozzle body 100, and the injection channel 100c is divided into an air inlet section and an air outlet section from the air inlet 100a to the injection outlet 100b, and the air outlet section is bent relative to the air inlet section to change the direction of the air flow ejected through the air inlet section, so that the gas and / or air injected by the nozzle 10 forms a clockwise or counterclockwise airflow in the combustion chamber 200a of the burner, thereby enhancing the mixing of the gas and / or air with the preheated flue gas in the combustion chamber 200a, and enhancing the mixing of the high-temperature flue gas with the gas and / or air after the high-temperature air combustion, thereby promoting the realization of high-temperature air combustion.

[0065] Main references Figure 3 In order to achieve a better high-temperature air combustion effect, in one embodiment, an angle α is formed between the axis of the air inlet section and the axis of the air outlet section of the nozzle body 100. The angle α opens away from the air inlet 100a. The angle α can be 10°-80°, so that the air outlet section is bent relative to the air inlet section. With such a configuration, the gas and / or air injected by the nozzle 10 to the combustion chamber 200a can flow along one side. When multiple nozzles 10 are arranged in the combustion chamber, the gas and / or air injected by this type of nozzle 10 stays in the combustion chamber 200a for a longer time, and the mixing of the gas and / or air with the preheated flue gas in the combustion chamber 200a is enhanced. At the same time, the mixing of the high-temperature flue gas and the gas and / or air after the high-temperature air combustion can also be enhanced, thereby greatly improving the high-temperature air combustion effect.

[0066] In one embodiment, the connection between the air inlet section and the air outlet section of the nozzle body 100 can be in the form of an arc transition, so that the gas and / or air can flow more smoothly in the injection channel 100c to guide the injection direction of the gas and / or air. At the same time, this smooth transition design makes the nozzle 10 easy to process and makes the airflow ejection smoother.

[0067] In order to install and fix the nozzle 10 on the burner, in one embodiment, refer to Figure 4The burner has a positioning protrusion, and the nozzle body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 111 for mounting and positioning with the positioning protrusion of the burner.

[0068] In this embodiment, the nozzle body 100 may be tubular, and a limiting flange 110 may be provided at one end corresponding to the air inlet 100 a , and the mounting groove 111 may be provided on the limiting flange 110 .

[0069] Furthermore, there are multiple mounting grooves 111, and at least two mounting grooves 111 are symmetrically arranged with a central line of a radial cross section of the nozzle body 100 as an axis. Such arrangement facilitates the limited installation of the nozzle 10 on the burner, so that its injection outlet 100b faces a preset position, so that the gas and / or air injected by the multiple nozzles 10 form an airflow flowing in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction in the combustion chamber 200a of the burner, thereby strengthening the mixing of the gas and / or air with the preheated flue gas in the combustion chamber 200a, and realizing high-temperature air combustion.

[0070] Based on the above embodiment, a burner using the above nozzle 10 will be described in detail below.

[0071] refer to Figure 1 The shape of the combustion body 200 of the burner used in the above-mentioned nozzle 10 can be square, cylindrical, etc., and can be selected and designed according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0072] It should also be noted that a high-temperature air combustion zone can be divided in the combustion chamber 200a. When the gas burns at high temperature in the high-temperature air combustion zone, the heat after combustion is discharged through the flue gas outlet, and heat can be exchanged with the heat exchanger of the gas water heater to produce hot water. Due to the upward flow of flue gas, the high-temperature air combustion zone can also be located in the upper half of the entire burner, which is more conducive to the discharge of flue gas. In order to further increase the flue gas discharge rate, the upper end of the combustion body 200 is opened to form a flue gas outlet. Of course, high-temperature air combustion can also be carried out in the entire combustion chamber 200a. The injection outlet 100b of the nozzle 10 is connected to the combustion chamber 200a to inject gas and / or air into the combustion chamber 200a.

[0073] In addition, a preheater and an ignition device may be provided in the combustion chamber 200a. The ignition device ignites and burns the preheater to achieve preheating combustion of the combustion chamber 200a. The temperature in the combustion chamber 200a may be heated to a target temperature to control the heating temperature. In this way, high-temperature preheating of the high-temperature air combustion zone is achieved. When the high-temperature air combustion zone of the combustion chamber 200a is preheated to the target temperature, the nozzle 10 sprays the gas and / or air to effectively and fully mix with the high-temperature flue gas in the combustion chamber 200a. The high-temperature flue gas ignites the gas, which can achieve complete and continuous high-temperature air combustion and reduce the generation of pollutants.

[0074] It can be understood that the burner of the present invention is achieved by inserting multiple nozzles 10 on the combustion body 200 and arranging them along the first circumferential direction of the combustion chamber 200a. The injection outlets 100b of the multiple nozzles 10 are located in the combustion chamber 200a. The multiple nozzles 10 are used to inject gas and / or air into the combustion chamber 200a, and form a vortex flowing along the first circumferential direction in the combustion chamber 200a, so that the airflow ejected from the nozzle 10 flows in the combustion chamber 200a in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby enhancing the mixing of the gas and / or air with the preheated flue gas below, and also enhancing the mixing of the high-temperature flue gas with the gas and / or air after the high-temperature air combustion, thereby promoting the realization of high-temperature air combustion.

[0075] refer to Figure 1 In order to enhance the mixing of the fuel gas and / or air sprayed by the nozzle 10 and the preheated flue gas, the residence time of the gas in the combustion chamber 200a is increased to ensure sufficient combustion of the fuel. In one embodiment, the combustion body 200 includes a plurality of side plates 210, which enclose a combustion chamber 200a in a rectangular shape, and a plurality of nozzles 10 are arranged on the plurality of side plates 210; wherein, the kinetic energy of the gas sprayed by the nozzles 10 located on the two side plates 210 opposite to each other in the combustion chamber 200a is equal, and the kinetic energy ratio of the gas sprayed by the nozzles 10 located on the two adjacent side plates 210 of the combustion chamber 200a is 0.4-2.5.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The simulation result of the airflow trajectory in the combustion chamber of the burner in the embodiment of the present invention is shown. By counting the gas trajectory lines, it can be found that when 50% of the gas trajectory lines flow out of the smoke pipe, compared with spraying the mixed gas vertically (when the angle α is 0°) from the four sides of the combustion chamber 200a into the combustion chamber 200a, the nozzle injection method of this embodiment increases the residence time of the gas in the combustion chamber 200a by 2.14 times, which is conducive to the combustion of the fuel, thereby reducing the height of the burner, and also helps to reduce CO and NO x Emissions can also reduce the noise generated by burner combustion.

[0077] Main references Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the combustion body 200 further includes an air intake assembly 220, which is mounted on the side plate 210. The air intake assembly 220 forms an air intake cavity 200a, which is used to connect to an external gas source, and the air intake ports 100a of the plurality of nozzles 10 are connected to the air intake cavity 200a. In this embodiment, only one set of air intake assemblies 220 is required to be arranged on the side plate 210 on each side of the combustion chamber 200a to connect the plurality of nozzles 10 thereon, and it is not necessary to arrange a plurality of air intake pipes to be installed one-to-one with the plurality of nozzles 10, so that the nozzles 10 can be connected to gas and / or air.

[0078] In order to install the air intake assembly 220 and the nozzle 10 on the side plate 210 of the combustion body 200 so that the nozzle 10 receives the gas and / or air and sprays it into the combustion chamber 200a, in one embodiment, mainly referring to Figure 2 The air intake assembly 220 may include a housing 221, a first cover plate 222, a second cover plate 223 and a mounting plate 224. The housing 221 is hollow and has a first opening and a second opening that are oppositely arranged. The first cover plate 222 is covered on the first opening, and the second cover plate 223 is covered on the second opening and enclosed with the housing 221 and the first cover plate 222 to form an air intake cavity 200a. One end of the mounting plate 224 is mounted on the second cover plate 223, and the other end of the mounting plate 224 is mounted on the side plate 210 of the combustion body 200, so as to mount and fix the housing 221 on the side plate 210 of the combustion body 200. Among them, the air intake port 100a of the nozzle 10 is fixedly mounted on the second cover plate 223 through the mounting plate 224 and communicates with the air intake cavity 200a, and the jet outlet 100b of the nozzle 10 extends into the combustion chamber 200a.

[0079] In this embodiment, the housing 221 may be in a square, cylindrical or other shape, and an air inlet interface may be provided on the housing 221 to access an external air source. The first cover plate 222 and the second cover plate 223 cover both sides of the air inlet cavity 200a of the housing 221, respectively. The shape of the first cover plate 222 may be adapted to the shape of the first opening, the shape of the second cover plate 223 may be adapted to the shape of the second opening, and the shape of the mounting plate 224 may be adapted to the shape of the second cover plate 223 and the side plate 210, which is not limited here.

[0080] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6The mounting plate 224 may be in the shape of a long strip and may be provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 224a arranged at intervals along its length direction, and a plurality of nozzles 10 may be installed one-to-one on the plurality of first connecting holes 224a. The intervals between two adjacent first connecting holes 224a may be evenly arranged. In this way, the plurality of nozzles 10 are arranged on the combustion body 200, and the gas kinetic energy of the gas and / or air sprayed by each nozzle 10 may be balanced, so that the gas and / or air are fully mixed with the preheated flue gas to achieve high-temperature air combustion.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 7 When the nozzle body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 111, the first connecting hole 224a has a first positioning protrusion 2241 installed and positioned with the mounting groove 111. When the mounting groove 111 is provided on the limiting flange 110 of the nozzle body 100, the first connecting hole 224a includes a first aperture section 241 and a second aperture section 242, the aperture of the first aperture section 241 is larger than the aperture of the second aperture section 242, the first positioning protrusion 2241 is provided in the first aperture section 241, the limiting flange 110 is limited in the first aperture section 241 and the first positioning protrusion 2241 is inserted into the mounting groove 111, so that the nozzle 10 is installed on the side plate 210 of the combustion body 200 and the injection outlet 100b extends into the combustion chamber 200a. Among them, the second aperture section 242 can be a through hole, and the first aperture section 241 can be a blind hole (or a sink, etc.) at the outer edge of the second aperture section 242.

[0082] In addition, reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 A second connecting hole 223a can be set at the position of the second cover plate 223 corresponding to the first connecting hole 224a, and a matching second positioning protrusion 2231 is protruded in the second connecting hole 223a at the position corresponding to the mounting groove 111. The second positioning protrusion 2231 is inserted into the mounting groove 111, so that the nozzle 10 is installed on the air intake assembly 220 and the air inlet 100a is connected with the air intake cavity 200a.

[0083] During assembly, first, the injection outlet 100b of the nozzle 10 can be passed through the first connecting hole 224a of the mounting plate 224, and the mounting groove 111 at the air inlet 100a of the nozzle 10 is aligned with the first positioning protrusion 2241 of the mounting plate 224 to ensure that all nozzles 10 are installed in the correct direction; then, the second positioning protrusion 2231 of the second cover plate 223 is aligned with the mounting groove 111 of the nozzle 10 for installation, and the mounting plate 224, the nozzle 10 and the second cover plate 223 can be installed on the shell 221 by means of screw connection or snap connection, and finally, the entire assembly can be installed together on the side plate 210 by means of screw connection or snap connection to complete the installation of the air intake assembly 200.

[0084] It should be noted that after the air intake assembly 200 is installed, since the nozzle 10 is provided with the installation groove 111, the included angle α between the cross section of the injection outlet 100b of the nozzle 10 and the side plate 210 can be kept unchanged at 10°-80°. Among them, when the included angle α is 60°, the mixed gas injected by the nozzle 10 in the combustion chamber 200a and the preheated flue gas have a better mixing effect, and the high-temperature air combustion effect is better.

[0085] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the mounting plate 224 is engaged with the mounting groove 111 on the limiting flange 110 of the nozzle body 100 by setting the first positioning protrusion 2241, so that the nozzle 10 is connected to the side plate 210 through the mounting plate 224 and extends into the combustion chamber 200a; the second cover plate 223 is engaged with the mounting groove 111 on the limiting flange 110 of the nozzle body 100 by setting the second positioning protrusion 2231, so that the nozzle 10 is connected to the air intake chamber 200a through the second cover plate 223.

[0086] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to keep the kinetic energy of the gas ejected from the nozzle 10 on each air intake assembly 220 as balanced as possible, in one embodiment, the air intake assembly 220 further includes a porous plate 225, which is arranged in the air intake chamber 200a to adjust the flow direction of the gas and / or air. This arrangement allows the gas and / or air in the air intake chamber 200a to flow evenly to each nozzle 10 in the air intake chamber 200a, so that the kinetic energy of the gas ejected from each nozzle 10 on the same air intake assembly 200 is consistent, which facilitates the mixing of the gas and / or air with the preheated flue gas, is beneficial to the full combustion of the fuel, and is also beneficial to the reduction of CO and NO x emission.
