[0002] Alcohol hydrogen fuel is an environmentally friendly green energy, free of sulfur (CO, HC, NO x , PM), the combustion products are mainly water vapor and trace amounts of nitrogen oxides, with no residual liquid or residue. Pollutant emissions are lower than those of natural gas, diesel and other fuels. It is considered to be a clean energy source second only to hydrogen in terms of cleanliness.

[0003] Methanol high temperature cracking can generate hydrogen and carbon monoxide combustible gases, and the combustion calorific value of the combustible gases is higher than that of direct combustion of methanol. The combustible gas is directly burned after being mixed with combustion-supporting air, and a large amount of nitrogen oxides are easily generated due to the high flame temperature.

[0018] The present invention also provides a combustion method of a low-nitrogen burner for producing hydrogen through high-temperature decomposition of methanol, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1: Flue gas mixed with combustion air

[0020] First, the compressed combustion-supporting air enters the vacuum generator, and the negative pressure port of the vacuum generator will suck in the flue gas and mix it with the compressed combustion-supporting air and enter the pipeline, thus performing the first mixing of the flue gas and the air; the mixed gas chamber itself is filled with air, and the flue gas mixed gas enters the expansion chamber, and the volume expands and the pressure decreases at the same time, thus performing the second mixing of the flue gas and the air; the flue gas mixed gas enters the mixed gas chamber again, and this space performs the third mixing of the flue gas and the air, and after the three mixings, the flue gas and the air are evenly mixed; as the mixed gas continuously enters the mixed gas chamber, a stable flow is formed, and then it flows through the mixed gas inner outlet channel and the mixed gas outer outlet channel formed by the combustible gas annular tube;

[0021] S2: Combustion of a mixture of flue gas and combustion air

[0022] Secondly, the methanol in the methanol storage tank flows into the atomizing methanol nozzle through the transmission pipe. The atomizing methanol nozzle atomizes the methanol and mixes it with the third flue gas and air mixture. At the same time, the ignition device is turned on to ignite the mixture of methanol, flue gas and air. The heat from the combustion of methanol begins to heat the methanol high-temperature cracking tube and the combustion chamber. The heat insulation board also makes the methanol high-temperature cracking tube more evenly heated and the temperature rise faster.

[0023] Then, the liquid methanol in the methanol storage tank flows into the methanol balancer at a low flow rate, and then enters the methanol high-temperature cracking tube through the U-shaped tube; the methanol flows slowly and at a small flow rate in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube along the wall surface, so that the temperature of the methanol can be quickly raised to above 800°. At this time, the content of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the combustible gas produced by the cracking of the methanol is as high as 99%; the combustible gas produced by the cracking enters the combustible gas annular tube, and then is ejected outward through the combustible gas nozzle inside and outside the combustible gas nozzle;

[0024] S3: Equilibration and reflux of methanol

[0025] Finally, after methanol is cracked into combustible gas, the pressure in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube will increase, and the methanol on the right side of the U-shaped tube will flow to the left side, causing the liquid level in the methanol balancer to rise. At the same time, the methanol in the methanol storage tank continuously flows into the methanol balancer, causing the liquid level to continue to rise. The increase in the liquid level causes the methanol on the left side of the U-shaped tube to flow to the right side, and the two gradually reach a dynamic balance, which can prevent the methanol from flowing back to the methanol storage tank and is not affected by the pressure in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] (1) Flue gas recirculation is designed: after the flue gas is mixed with the combustion air, the inert gas in the flue gas can take away part of the heat and reduce the oxygen content of the combustion air to lower the flame temperature;

[0028] (2) A staged combustion is designed: the combustible gas ejected from the combustible gas internal nozzle 20 and the combustible gas external nozzle 21 and the combustion-supporting air are initially in a laminar flow state, and at this time, the two are only partially mixed at the stratification point; the combustible gas ejected from the combustible gas internal nozzle 20 burns first, and at this time, part of the oxygen is consumed to form a primary combustion; the combustible gas ejected from the combustible gas external nozzle 21 is ignited by the primary combustion to form a secondary combustion; the combustible gas that is not burned in the primary combustion and the secondary combustion is completely burned after mixing in the later stage to form a tertiary combustion; the staged combustion realizes a batch combustion mode, reduces the combustion speed and oxygen content, and thus reduces the flame temperature.

[0056] The present invention also provides a combustion method of a low-nitrogen burner for producing hydrogen through high-temperature decomposition of methanol, comprising the following steps:

[0057] S1: Flue gas mixed with combustion air

[0058] The compressed combustion-supporting air enters the vacuum generator 11 through the air supply port, and the vacuum generator 11 will generate negative pressure at the negative pressure port. The negative pressure generated by the negative pressure port will suck in the flue gas and mix it with the compressed combustion-supporting air and enter the pipeline 9. At this time, the first mixing of the flue gas and the air is carried out; after the flue gas mixture enters the expansion chamber 8, the volume expands and the pressure is reduced. At this time, the second mixing of the flue gas and the air is carried out, and the mixed gas chamber 2 itself is already filled with air; then the flue gas mixture enters the mixed gas chamber 2 through the outlet, and this space is relatively large, so the third mixing of the flue gas and the air is carried out; after the three mixings, the flue gas and the air are evenly mixed; as the mixed gas continuously enters the mixed gas chamber 2, a stable flow is formed, and then it flows through the mixed gas inner outlet channel 19 and the mixed gas outer outlet channel 18 formed by the combustible gas annular pipe 17; the inner cone of the mixed gas chamber 2 is equipped with blades 27, and the spiral blades 27 cause the combustion-supporting air in the mixed gas chamber 2 to rotate, further accelerating the mixing;

[0059] The driving pump 26 is turned on to make the methanol in the methanol storage 24 flow into the atomizing methanol nozzle 22 through the transmission pipe 15. The atomizing methanol nozzle 22 atomizes the methanol and mixes it with the third flue gas and air mixture. At the same time, the ignition device 23 is turned on to ignite the mixture of methanol, flue gas and air. The heat from the combustion of methanol begins to heat the methanol high-temperature cracking tube 16 and the combustion chamber 4. A heat insulation board 28 is arranged on the inner wall of the combustion chamber 4. The surface of the heat insulation board 28 facing the center is mirror-finished, which can minimize heat loss. At the same time, the mirror can reflect heat back and forth in the combustion chamber 4, heating the methanol high-temperature cracking tube 16 back and forth from all directions, so that the methanol high-temperature cracking tube 16 is heated more evenly and the temperature rise is faster.

[0060] The fan 25, the driving pump 26 and the ignition device 23 can be electrically connected to the controller and controlled to start by the controller. The controller can be installed outside the combustion main cylinder 1. The panels and walls inside the combustion main cylinder 1 are provided with wire holes for the fan 25, the driving pump 26 and the ignition device 23.

[0061] S2: Combustion of a mixture of flue gas and combustion air

[0062] The driving pump 26 is turned on to allow the liquid methanol in the methanol storage 24 to flow into the methanol balancer 14 (a flow regulating valve may be provided on the transmission pipe 15) at a low flow rate, and then enter the methanol high-temperature cracking pipe 16 through the U-shaped pipe 5; due to the low flow rate and low flow rate of methanol, it will not enter the methanol high-temperature cracking pipe 16 in a jetting manner, but will flow slowly and at a small flow rate along the wall in the methanol high-temperature cracking pipe 16 - this is to allow the methanol to quickly rise in temperature to more than 800°, at which time the contents of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the combustible gases produced by the cracking of methanol can be as high as 99%. If the temperature rise is slow, this process will produce other substances such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) that are not conducive to combustion, thereby reducing the utilization rate of methanol; the combustible gas produced by the cracking enters the combustible gas annular pipe 17 in the combustible gas annular pipe 17, and then sprays outward through the combustible gas internal nozzle 20 and the combustible gas external nozzle 21;

[0063] S3: Equilibration and reflux of methanol

[0064] After methanol is cracked into combustible gas, the pressure in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube 16 will increase, and the methanol on the right side of the U-shaped tube 5 will flow to the left side, causing the liquid level in the methanol balancer 14 to rise. At the same time, the methanol in the methanol storage tank 24 continues to flow into the methanol balancer 14, causing the liquid level to continue to rise. The increase in the liquid level causes the methanol on the left side of the U-shaped tube 5 to flow to the right side, and the two gradually reach a dynamic balance - this structure can prevent methanol from flowing back to the methanol storage tank 24, and is not affected by the pressure in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube 16.

[0065] When the temperature and flame collection observation port 29 detects that the combustible gas at the combustible gas annular pipe 17 is burning normally, the atomizing methanol nozzle 22 is closed to stop the combustion of methanol, and the temperature of the combustible gas combustion at the combustible gas annular pipe 17 is used to heat the methanol high-temperature cracking tube 16.

[0066] This solution reduces the flame temperature and can reduce the generation of nitrogen oxides by combining the following two methods:

[0067] (1) Flue gas recirculation: After the flue gas is mixed with the combustion air, the inert gas in the flue gas can take away some of the heat and reduce the oxygen content of the combustion air to reduce the flame temperature;

[0068] (2) Staged combustion: the combustible gas ejected from the combustible gas nozzle 20 and the combustible gas nozzle 21 and the combustion-supporting air are initially in a laminar flow state, and at this time, the two are only partially mixed at the stratification point; the combustible gas ejected from the combustible gas nozzle 20 burns first, and at this time, part of the oxygen is consumed, forming a primary combustion; the combustible gas ejected from the combustible gas nozzle 21 is ignited by the primary combustion, forming a secondary combustion; the combustible gas that is not burned in the primary combustion and the secondary combustion is completely burned after mixing in the latter stage, forming a tertiary combustion; the staged combustion realizes a batch combustion mode (the combustion amount each time is not too much), reduces the combustion speed and oxygen content, and thus reduces the flame temperature. The principle diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 7 (as shown by the middle dotted arrow).

[0069] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.

9. A combustion method of a low-nitrogen burner for producing hydrogen through high-temperature decomposition of methanol as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1: Flue gas mixed with combustion air First, the compressed combustion-supporting air enters the vacuum generator (11), and the negative pressure port of the vacuum generator (11) sucks in the flue gas and mixes it with the compressed combustion-supporting air and enters the pipe (9), thus performing the first mixing of the flue gas and the air; the mixed gas chamber (2) itself is filled with air, and after the flue gas mixed gas enters the expansion chamber (8), the volume expands and the pressure decreases, and at this time, the flue gas and the air are mixed for the second time; the flue gas mixed gas enters the mixed gas chamber (2) again, and this space performs the third mixing of the flue gas and the air, and after the three mixings, the flue gas and the air are evenly mixed; as the mixed gas continuously enters the mixed gas chamber (2), a stable flow is formed, and then it flows through the mixed gas inner outlet channel (19) and the mixed gas outer outlet channel (18) formed by the combustible gas annular pipe (17); S2: Combustion of a mixture of flue gas and combustion air Secondly, the methanol in the methanol storage tank flows into the atomizing methanol nozzle (22) through the transmission pipe (15), the atomizing methanol nozzle (22) atomizes the methanol and mixes it with the third flue gas and air mixture, and at the same time, the ignition device (23) is turned on to ignite the mixture of methanol, flue gas and air, and the heat of the methanol combustion begins to heat the methanol high-temperature cracking tube (16) and the combustion chamber (4); the heat insulation board (28) also makes the methanol high-temperature cracking tube (16) more evenly heated and the temperature rise faster; Then, the liquid methanol in the methanol storage tank flows into the methanol balancer (14) at a low flow rate, and then enters the methanol high-temperature cracking tube (16) through the U-shaped tube (5); the methanol flows slowly and at a small flow rate in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube (16) along the wall surface, so that the temperature of the methanol can be quickly raised to above 800°. At this time, the content of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the combustible gas generated by the cracking of the methanol is as high as 99%; the combustible gas generated by the cracking enters the combustible gas annular tube (17), and then is ejected outward through the combustible gas internal nozzle (20) and the combustible gas external nozzle (21); S3: Equilibrium and reflux of methanol Finally, after the methanol is cracked into combustible gas, the pressure in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube (16) increases, and the methanol on the right side of the U-shaped tube (5) flows to the left side, causing the liquid level in the methanol balancer (14) to rise. At the same time, the methanol in the methanol storage device continuously flows into the methanol balancer (14), causing the liquid level to continue to rise. The increase in the liquid level causes the methanol on the left side of the U-shaped tube (5) to flow to the right side, and the two gradually reach a dynamic balance, which can prevent the methanol from flowing back to the methanol storage device and is not affected by the pressure in the methanol high-temperature cracking tube (16).
