Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a low-nitrogen combustion device for a heating furnace. Background Art

[0002] A tubular heating furnace generally consists of a radiation section, burners, and a ventilation system. According to the air intake method, it can be divided into a natural ventilation method and a forced ventilation method. The temperature of the radiation section is as high as 600°C - 1600°C, and radiative heat transfer accounts for about 70 - 80% of the heat load. The flame temperature of the burner is as high as 1300°C - 1800°C, and thermal NO is generated during the combustion process X , resulting in a relatively high NO in the flue gas X .

[0003] The "GB 31571-2015 Discharge Standard of Pollutants for the Petroleum Chemical Industry" stipulates that the emission limit of nitrogen oxides in the flue gas of the heating furnace is 150 mg / Nm3. Some local environmental protection discharge standards stipulate that the emission limit of nitrogen oxides has dropped to <80 mg / Nm3. Since the second half of 2015, a large-scale low-NOx emission transformation project has been carried out on all oil refining and chemical installations across the country. The most direct one is to replace and transform the burners of the tubular heating furnace. However, during the transformation of some small natural draft heating furnaces, it was found that due to their small size (the structure of this type of heating furnace is relatively short and small) and low heat load (generally, one heating furnace has 1 - 3 burners), the transformation process of its low-nitrogen burner is extremely likely to cause flame tube burning, unstable combustion, and non-compliant flue gas.

[0004] Chinese Patent Document CN201121890Y discloses a low-nitrogen oxide wall-attached energy-saving and environmental protection staged burner, which includes a combustion channel composed of special-shaped fire bricks; a sound-absorbing and heat-insulating inner cylinder composed of a sound-absorbing plate and a lining of high-temperature heat-resistant fibers, as well as a burner body and a pilot light. An air duct is arranged inside the burner body, and an air inlet is arranged on one side of the burner; two rows of gas guns are arranged, the lower parts of the gas guns are located inside the burner body, and the upper parts are located inside the combustion channel. The two rows of gas guns are arranged in a stepped manner, that is, the gas outlets of the two rows are not at the same height. This solution is installed at the bottom of the heating furnace and uses the stepped staged combustion technology. The flame rises along the furnace wall, first heating the furnace wall into a uniform heat wall carrier, and then radiating the heat to the furnace tubes. This makes the heat radiation received by the furnace tubes more uniform, thereby avoiding local overheating and coking of the medium inside the tubes, improving the service life of the furnace tubes and the thermal efficiency of the heating furnace. At the same time, the maximum flame temperature is reduced, and the generation of NOx is reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing thermodynamic nitrogen oxides.

[0005] The burner in this prior art is not suitable for use in the burners of small natural draft heating furnaces with small size and low heat load, and its effect is difficult to guarantee. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, for further low-nitrogen combustion, an automatic actuator for controlling the size of the air intake damper is provided at the lower part of the burner body. The automatic actuator realizes the automatic adjustment of the flue air intake damper through the adjustment of receiving the flue gas residual oxygen detection signal. The size of the damper is controlled by the flue gas residual oxygen detector according to the detection result, which is beneficial to stably control the residual oxygen in the flue gas between 2% and 5%, thereby reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides.
