TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an ethylene cracking furnace burner, in particular to a rotatable gas-liquid two-phase atomizing burner. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ethylene cracking furnace refers to the equipment used for cracking light hydrocarbons or naphtha to generate ethylene products. The heat required by the ethylene cracking furnace is supplied by the burner. The common fuels for the burner are fuel gas or fuel oil. As a key equipment of the ethylene device, the cracking furnace is not only a major consumer of energy, but also a main source of economic benefits of the overall device, accounting for about 80% of the total energy consumption. When the raw material of the ethylene device is ethane, the fuel gas cannot meet the combustion demand, and the fuel needs to be supplemented. With the continuous rise in the price of fuel gas such as propane, the low-value carbon nine product produced by the ethylene device has a high heat value and is a good fuel oil. Making full use of the low-value fuel oil produced by the ethylene device to replace propane as fuel can improve the efficiency of the ethylene device. In the actual production process, due to the uneven mixing effect of the fuel oil / fuel gas and air sprayed from the burner nozzles in the furnace, the fuel oil / fuel gas is not completely combusted, which leads to a large temperature difference of the cracking gas outlet temperature (COT) of each reaction tube in the radiation section, causing uneven cracking depth and low heat transfer efficiency of each reaction tube, resulting in large fuel consumption and short operation cycle of the cracking furnace.
[0003] To solve the problem of uneven heat transfer in the furnace and meet the environmental protection requirements of low-NOx burners, the existing patent (publication number: CN205328948U) discloses an ethylene cracking furnace burner and its arrangement structure, which relates to an ethylene cracking furnace burner and its arrangement structure. The bottom burner is arranged at the bottom of the cracking furnace, and the side wall burner is arranged in the middle of the side wall of the cracking furnace and is single-row. The flames of the bottom burner and the side wall burner are vertically upward. The inventor found that the following problems in the prior art have not been well solved in the process of implementing the scheme: the flame of the burner in the arrangement structure does not have an adjusting function, the shape of the flame is not convenient to adjust, the adjusting speed is slow, the flame is complex, and the temperature distribution is uneven during the adjustment process; at the same time, the arrangement mode does not involve enhancing the contact area of the fuel oil and air, improving the combustion efficiency of the fuel oil, and reducing the energy consumption of the device.
[0004] Therefore, with the large-scale development of the cracking furnace and the emphasis on environmental protection, it is necessary to develop a new type of burner to improve the fuel flexibility and benefits of the ethylene device, effectively solve the problem of uneven cracking depth of the cracking raw material in each furnace tube in the cracking furnace, uneven heat in the furnace, and low heat efficiency of the fuel oil, and reduce the overall energy consumption and maintenance cost of the ethylene device.
