Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of burners, in particular to a high-efficiency burner for a coal-fired unit and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the reform of the electricity market and the continuous increase in the proportion of volatile renewable energy generation, a highly coupled "multi-energy complementary" energy structure of fire, heat, wind, light, etc. has gradually formed. Coal-fired power is used as the basic regulating energy and plays a key role in load regulation. However, at this stage, the overall peak-shaving capacity of coal-fired units is far from the target of the minimum technical output (20% to 25%) when stable combustion is achieved without oil injection, and it is difficult to take into account the environmental protection needs of low NOx generation.

[0003] At present, various types of direct current pulverized coal burners still have room for optimization in practical applications: ① The diversity of coal types and the blending of coal need to be further improved. Usually, when burning bituminous coal, it shows good stable combustion characteristics and low NOx emission performance, but when burning difficult-to-burn coal, it is difficult to ensure stable combustion and low NOx emissions at the same time; ② The optimization of the pulverized coal airflow nozzle structure is manifested in paying attention to the role of the pulverized coal concentration separation device, while insufficient consideration is given to the synergistic effect of the pulverized coal airflow nozzle and its downstream reflux zone; ③ It is difficult to meet the requirements of stable combustion and low NOx capabilities for low-load operation. Under low-load operation, on the one hand, the pulverized coal concentration is reduced, which increases the ignition heat, resulting in delayed ignition and poor combustion stability. At the same time, due to the weakening of the reducing high-temperature reflux zone and the increase in the wind-coal ratio under low load, the ability to suppress NOx generation is weakened, resulting in a high NOx generation.

[0060] Preferably, the first diversion pipe 201a and the second diversion pipe 201b are each provided with an arc bend, and the coal powder airflow enters from the inlet arc bend.

When passing through the bends arranged in the first diverter pipe 201a and the second diverter pipe 201b, the coal powder particles are subjected to centrifugal force during the rapid turning process in the arc bend, and flow along the inner wall of the large diameter end of the arc bend near the inlet, resulting in the first stage of coal powder concentration. The coal powder is further transported to the combustion nozzle assembly 301 through the first diverter pipe 201a and the second diverter pipe 201b, and is further ejected through the light phase zone outlet 302d and the dense phase zone outlet 302e arranged on the outlet panel 302a.

[0064] In summary, the present invention provides a high-efficiency burner for a coal-fired unit and a method thereof with beneficial effects: the pulverized coal enters the diversion box 101b through the coal delivery pipe 101a and then diverts to the first diversion pipe 201a and the second diversion pipe 201b. During the rapid turning process at the bends set by the first diversion pipe 201a and the second diversion pipe 201b, the pulverized coal particles are acted upon by centrifugal force and flow along the inner wall near the large diameter end of the inlet bend, and the first stage of pulverized coal concentration occurs.
