Description

At the same time, in a high-oxygen environment, the flame temperature is high, and the nitrogen and oxygen in the air easily react to form nitrogen oxides, causing serious air pollution. In addition, the heat transfer of traditional burners mainly relies on a single heat exchange device, the waste heat recovery of the exhaust gas is insufficient, a large amount of heat is lost with the exhaust, and the energy utilization rate is low.

An outer shell 112 is sheathed around the outside of the combustion chamber 122. A heat-conducting sealing hood 104 is fixedly sheathed on the outer surface of the combustion exhaust hood 121. The heat-conducting sealing hood 104 is fixedly and sealedly mounted on the top of the outer shell 112. A plurality of heat-conducting fins 127 are arranged in a circular, equidistant array on the inner wall of the outer shell 112. The same number of fuel delivery pipes 118 as the fuel inlet 125 are arranged around the outside of the combustion chamber 122. One end of the fuel delivery pipe 118 extends to the outside of the outer shell 112, and the other end of the fuel delivery pipe 118 is fixedly connected to the fuel inlet 125. Each air inlet 126 is fixedly connected to an air distribution duct 110. The end of the air distribution duct 110, away from the air inlet 126, extends to the outside of the outer shell 112. A first electric regulating valve 117 and a second electric regulating valve 128 are respectively installed in series on the air distribution duct 110 and the fuel delivery pipe 118. The first and second electric regulating valves 117 and 128 are used to control the fluid flow within the air distribution duct 110 and the fuel delivery pipe 118. All air distribution ducts 110 are fixedly connected to the interior of the air supply and distribution chamber 101 at one end located outside the outer shell 112. A supercharged drive impeller 115 is rotatably mounted on the top opening of the air supply and distribution chamber 101. An air intake shroud 106 is fixedly and sealedly mounted on the top of the air supply and distribution chamber 101.

A heat sink 105 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the heat-conductive sealing cover 104 and is located inside the air intake shroud 106.An exhaust hood 102 is fixedly and sealedly mounted on the top of the combustion exhaust hood 121. Exhaust hood 102 is sleeved onto the outer surface of the heat exchanger 116, connecting the combustion exhaust hood 121 to the interior of the exhaust hood 102. An exhaust pipe 103 is also fixedly mounted on the exhaust hood 102. Exhaust pipe 103 is coaxially arranged with the air supply and distribution chamber 101. An exhaust gas drive turbine 113 is rotatably mounted within exhaust pipe 103. A gearbox 114 is also fixedly mounted overhead on the exhaust hood 102.

The output shaft of gearbox 114 extends into the interior of the air supply and distribution chamber 101 and is fixedly mated to the supercharged drive turbine 115. A driving motor 108 is fixedly mounted on the housing of the gearbox 114 , a driving gear 107 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 108 , and a driving gear plate 109 meshing with the driving gear 107 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the gearbox 114 .

[0020] The working principle of an ultra-low oxygen burner for a boiler disclosed in the present invention is as follows: a fuel delivery pipe 118 is connected to fuel (fuel with pressure), and the fuel enters the interior of the combustion chamber 122 through the fuel delivery pipe 118 (providing multiple fuel delivery pipes 118 can distribute the fuel more evenly to the combustion chamber 122, or use multiple fuels, all of which can be independently controlled, and the opening and closing degrees of each first electric regulating valve 117 and second electric regulating valve 128 can be independently controlled), and enters the interior of the combustion chamber 122 along the tangent of the inner wall of the combustion chamber 122 (the position between the two combustion dividing ring plates 123), and at the same time, the drive motor 108 is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 108 drives the drive gear 107 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive gear 107 drives the drive gear plate 109 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive gear plate 109 drives the output shaft of the gearbox 114 to rotate, and at the same time, the supercharged drive turbine 115 rotates together, and the rotation of the supercharged drive turbine 115 drives the external air to supply air to the interior of the distribution chamber 101 (through the air intake guide cover 106 enters the air supply distribution chamber 101), the air supply distribution chamber 101 sends air into the air distribution pipe 110, and then enters the combustion chamber 122 to mix with the fuel for combustion (the mixing ratio is adjusted and controlled by the opening and closing degree of the first electric control valve 117 and the second electric control valve 128). At this time, the fuel in the combustion chamber 122 can be ignited (by providing an ignition device inside the combustion chamber 122, such as an electric ignition), and the fuel and air will rotate on the inner wall of the combustion chamber 122. During the rotation, the fuel will move along the inner wall of the combustion chamber 122 because its own mass is greater than that of the air. The light air will be located at the axial position of the combustion chamber 122, forming a natural oxygen-lean area and a fuel-rich area. At this time, low-oxygen combustion can be achieved without external intervention (in high-temperature combustion, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) in the air will react to produce nitrogen oxides, which is one of the main sources of air pollution. Low-oxygen combustion suppresses the formation of nitrogen oxides by reducing the oxygen concentration and flame temperature).The heat generated by combustion will be absorbed by the heat exchange rod 119 and the heat receiving rod 124. At the same time, the heat receiving rod 124 and the heat exchange rod 119 are used to connect to an external heating unit (such as a boiler or a device requiring heat). The gas generated by combustion will pass through the heat receiving plate 120, and heat the heat receiving plate 120 and the heat exchange body 116 again. The exhaust gas is guided into the exhaust guide cover 102 through the combustion exhaust cover 121, and then discharged through the exhaust pipe 103 (harmful gases need to be treated before being discharged into the atmosphere). When the exhaust gas flows in the exhaust pipe 103, it will drive the exhaust gas drive turbine 113 to rotate, and the exhaust gas drive turbine 113 drives the input shaft of the gearbox 114 to rotate, and the output shaft of the gearbox 114 drives the boost drive turbine 11 5 rotates (the drive motor 108 can be stopped at this time, depending on the pressure of the exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe 103. When the whole body has sufficient power to drive the exhaust gas drive turbine 113 to rotate, the drive motor 108 can be stopped). The rotation of the supercharged drive turbine 115 will drive the external air through the heat spreader 105 into the air supply distribution chamber 101, and then be distributed to multiple air distribution pipes 110. In this process, the air will take away the heat from the heat spreader 105, thereby preheating the air sucked into the air intake guide cover 106 and the air supply distribution chamber 101. The heat of the heat spreader 105 comes from the transfer of heat from the combustion exhaust cover 121 and the heat-conducting sealing cover 104, which causes the temperature of the heat spreader 105 to rise. At the same time, the combustion of fuel inside the combustion chamber 122 will also heat the combustion chamber 122 itself, and the combustion chamber 122 will heat the liquid inside the external shell 112 (water or other heat-conducting medium is provided inside the external shell 112). The heated water heats the fuel delivery pipe 118, thereby preheating the fuel entering the combustion chamber 122, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the fuel. The temperature heated by the heat-conducting sealing cover 104 will also be transferred to the concave heat-conducting fins 127.
