Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal-fired boiler combustion technology, specifically to a full-load adaptive ultra-low load stable combustion and rapid ramp-up pulverized coal burner. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous increase in the proportion of renewable energy power generation, coal-fired power units are transitioning from baseload power sources to regulating power sources, placing stringent demands on the deep peak-shaving capabilities of these units. Existing pulverized coal burners have the following technical deficiencies under low-load conditions:
[0003] Stable combustion at ultra-low loads is difficult. The minimum stable combustion load for traditional burners is usually 30%-40% of the rated load. Further reduction of the load can easily cause flameout. Although pre-combustion chamber burners can achieve stable combustion at about 20% load, high-temperature molten particles can easily scour the wall surface, causing serious coking and burn-off.
[0004] The load response speed is slow. Due to the delay in warming up the grinding system, the load change rate is only 1%-2% / minute, which cannot meet the grid's rapid frequency regulation requirements.
[0005] It has poor adaptability to different types of coal and insufficient ability to ignite low-volatile anthracite and low-calorific-value coal gangue, which limits the utilization of solid waste resources.
[0006] Gas film cooling technology has not yet been applied to pulverized coal burners, making it difficult to fundamentally solve the problem of coking and burning loss during low-load stable combustion from a structural perspective. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to propose a full-load adaptive ultra-low load stable combustion and rapid ramp-up pulverized coal burner to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the first technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a full-load adaptive ultra-low load stable combustion and rapid ramp-up pulverized coal burner, comprising: a primary air duct, a pulverized coal concentrator, a multi-stage pyrolysis combustion chamber, an ignition system, an oxygen supply system, and an intelligent control system; The multi-stage pyrolysis combustion chamber includes a primary pyrolysis chamber, a secondary combustion chamber, and a tertiary combustion stabilization chamber, with each stage of the combustion chamber connected in series via a high-temperature resistant constriction. The primary pyrolysis chamber is equipped with a porous medium heat storage body to store high-temperature heat and radiate preheating coal powder airflow. The inner wall of the secondary combustion chamber is provided with a spiral cooling air groove, which is connected to the air film cooling system to form a rotating wall-adhering cooling air film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber. An adjustable flare-stabilizing ring is installed at the outlet of the third-stage combustion chamber; The burner is connected to an independent pulverized coal storage bin, which is used to store high-concentration pulverized coal at ultra-low loads to achieve instantaneous fuel supply during rapid ramp-up.
[0009] Furthermore, the ignition system is a composite micro-oil ignition gun with a fuel capacity of 3-8 kg / h, and the oxygen supply system includes an oxygen supply pipe. The composite micro-oil ignition gun and the oxygen supply pipe are located in the primary pyrolysis chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the porous medium heat storage body is made of silicon carbide foam ceramic material with a porosity of 80%-90% and a thickness of 50-120mm. The front end of the porous medium heat storage body is 30-50mm away from the nozzle of the composite micro-oil ignition gun.
[0011] Furthermore, the spiral cooling air trough has a spiral angle of 30°-60°, a trough depth of 3-8mm, a trough width of 5-10mm, and a trough spacing of 10-20mm; the cooling air volume accounts for 3%-10% of the total primary air volume.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustable flare stabilizer ring is driven by a shape memory alloy and automatically adjusts the expansion angle according to the burner wall temperature, with an adjustment range of 15°-45°.
[0013] Furthermore, the energy storage coal powder silo is connected to the burner via a pneumatic conveying pipeline, and the pneumatic conveying pipeline is equipped with a quick-opening valve with a response time of ≤2 seconds; the coal powder concentration stored in the energy storage coal powder silo is 0.8-1.2 kg coal / kg air.
[0014] Furthermore, the intelligent control system includes a load prediction module, an energy storage management module, an air film cooling control module, and a porous media regeneration module.
[0015] Furthermore, the load forecasting module predicts load change trends 30-60 seconds in advance based on grid dispatch instructions and real-time unit load.
[0016] Due to the application of the above-mentioned technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. Breakthrough ultra-low load stable combustion: The minimum stable combustion load is reduced to 0% (only power supply to the plant), achieving a qualitative leap compared to existing technologies (20%-30%). The porous medium heat storage body utilizes its high specific surface area and strong radiation characteristics to rapidly store heat during micro-oil ignition. After successful ignition, it continuously radiates heat to the pulverized coal gas flow, achieving "thermal feedback" stable combustion.
[0017] 2. Revolutionary rapid ramp-up capability: Variable load rate reaches 5%-10% / minute, 5-10 times faster than traditional units. The energy storage pulverized coal silo technology solves the industry problem of response delay in pulverizing systems, with a fast-opening valve response time ≤2 seconds.
[0018] 3. Wide adaptability to various coal types: It can burn anthracite with volatile matter ≥5%, coal gangue and coal slime with calorific value ≥1200kcal / kg, realizing the resource utilization of low-calorific-value and low-quality fuels.
[0019] 4. Innovative film cooling technology: The film cooling technology of aero-engine combustion chambers is innovatively applied to pulverized coal burners. A rotating, wall-attached film is formed through spiral cooling air channels, and the wall temperature is controlled at ≤550℃, which completely solves the problem of coking and burning loss during low-load stable combustion.
[0020] 5. Intelligent adaptive control: Based on load prediction, energy storage management and film cooling control enable adaptive operation under all operating conditions, reducing the workload of operators. Attached Figure Description
