[0002] Affected by the decreasing of non-renewable energy such as fossil fuels and the increasing pressure of ecological environment protection, renewable clean energy such as hydrogen is becoming an important research direction. Although hydrogen is the most ideal fuel, due to its physical property limitations, the cost of transportation and storage is high and the difficulty is great. As a carrier of hydrogen, ammonia is easy to liquefy, store and transport, has a higher volume energy density, and generates nitrogen and water after complete combustion, without pollution and carbon emission, and has good application prospects as an energy carrier.

[0003] Most of the existing ammonia burners simply adopt a swirling method to achieve strong mixing of ammonia and air. Although attention is also paid to suppressing the generation of nitrogen oxides, due to the deviation of combustion methods and concepts, although low-carbon emissions are achieved, more nitrogen oxides are still generated, and true "clean energy" cannot be achieved.

[0004] Based on the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a new low-carbon and low-nitrogen ammonia burner. Content of the Utility Model

[0020] (III)Advantages

[0021] The present utility model provides a low-carbon and low-nitrogen ammonia burner, which has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. Compared with the prior art, in the present utility model, oxygen enters the oxygen inlet and the oxygen gas chamber of the burner through the control of the oxygen flow valve group, and then is evenly distributed through the oxygen nozzle. Ammonia enters the ammonia inlet and the ammonia gas chamber through the control of the oxygen-ammonia flow valve group, and then is evenly distributed through the ammonia nozzle. The oxygen nozzle and the ammonia nozzle are coaxially arranged, and the oxygen nozzle is placed inside the ammonia nozzle. The oxygen is pure oxygen, and the pressure is generally between 0.1 MPa and 0.2 MPa. The high-pressure oxygen sucks the ammonia in the ammonia gas chamber at a relatively high injection speed, allowing the ammonia to evenly enter the mixing area of ammonia and oxygen through the ammonia nozzle.

The flow rates of oxygen and ammonia are strictly controlled in proportion. While achieving complete combustion, oxygen is accurately controlled to avoid the generation of thermal type nitrogen oxides. Oxygen and ammonia are distributed through multiple small nozzles, which can not only make the pre-mixing of oxygen and ammonia uniform, but also avoid potential hazards that may exist due to the excessive residence time of the mixed gas in a larger cavity. At the same time, the air distribution and flame arrestment device made of porous medium has higher fire resistance than the pre-mixed metal fiber felt made of iron-chromium-aluminum alloy commonly used in the market. The mixed gas is mixed more evenly, and the irregular pores less than 3 mm have better fire arrestment performance, which can effectively prevent the backfire of ammonia. The present utility model realizes the zero-carbon and zero-nitrogen emission effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment

[0033] As Figures 1-4 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a low-carbon and low-nitrogen ammonia burner, including: a burner main body 4, an oxygen jetting unit and an ammonia jetting unit;

[0034] The oxygen jetting unit includes an oxygen inlet 1, an oxygen cavity 11, an oxygen nozzle 12, and an oxygen nozzle connecting plate 13; the oxygen inlet 1 is connected to an oxygen generating device through a pipeline, and an oxygen precision regulating valve 14 and an oxygen flow meter 15 are installed on the pipeline. Oxygen enters the oxygen inlet 1 and the oxygen cavity 11 of the burner through the control of the oxygen precision regulating valve 14, and then is evenly distributed through the oxygen nozzle 12.

[0035] As a preferred technical solution, the oxygen supplied by the oxygen jetting unit is pure oxygen, and the pressure is 0.1 - 0.2 MPa.

[0036] The ammonia jetting unit includes an ammonia inlet 2, an ammonia cavity 23, an ammonia nozzle 24, an ammonia nozzle connecting plate 27, and an ammonia cavity connecting plate 26; the ammonia inlet 2 is connected to an ammonia generating device through a pipeline, and an ammonia precision regulating valve 22 and an ammonia flow meter 21 are installed on the pipeline. Ammonia enters the ammonia inlet 2 and the ammonia cavity 23 through the control of the ammonia precision regulating valve 22, and then is evenly distributed through the ammonia nozzle 24.

[0037] The oxygen nozzle connecting plate 13 installed at the end of the oxygen chamber 11 is connected to the ammonia chamber connecting plate 26 installed at the front end of the ammonia chamber 23 through a connecting piece. A plurality of oxygen nozzles 12 are installed along the circumference on the oxygen nozzle connecting plate 13; the ammonia nozzle connecting plate 27 is connected to the other end of the ammonia chamber 23, and a plurality of ammonia nozzles 24 are arranged along the circumference on the ammonia nozzle connecting plate 27. One end of the oxygen nozzle 12 communicates with the oxygen chamber 11, and the other end is arranged inside the ammonia nozzle 24. The oxygen nozzle 12 penetrates through the oxygen chamber 11, and the part extending into the ammonia nozzle 24 is coaxial with the ammonia nozzle 24. Ammonia enters the ammonia nozzle 24 through the ammonia chamber 23, oxygen enters the oxygen nozzle 12 through the oxygen chamber 11. There is a certain distance between the front end of the oxygen nozzle 12 and the front end of the ammonia nozzle, which is the mixing area of the two gases. Oxygen is sprayed out from the port of the oxygen nozzle 12 and mixed with ammonia at the end of the ammonia nozzle 24 in this mixing area. After flowing through the action of the promoting winding ring 25 arranged at the front end of the ammonia nozzle 24, a strong turbulent mixture is formed, which is sprayed forward into the mixed gas chamber 33 together, and then sprayed into the furnace for combustion after passing through the air distribution and fire resistance device 32 to generate heat.

[0038] The flow rates of oxygen and ammonia are controlled according to the ratio of 3.05:4. While achieving complete combustion, the oxygen is accurately controlled to avoid the generation of thermal type nitrogen oxides.

[0039] The burner body 4 further includes a cylinder 3. The front end of the cylinder 3 is sleeved outside the ammonia nozzle 24. The oxygen nozzle 12 and the ammonia nozzle 24 are coaxially arranged, and the oxygen nozzle 12 is placed inside the ammonia nozzle 24 and connected to the ammonia nozzle connecting plate 27; a mixed gas chamber 33 communicating with the ammonia nozzle 24 is arranged inside the rear section of the cylinder 3. A promoting winding ring 25 is arranged inside the free end of each ammonia nozzle 24. An air distribution and fire resistance device 32 is arranged at the end of the cylinder 3. The air distribution and fire resistance device 32 has higher fire resistance performance, and the irregular pore fire resistance performance is better. The pores of the air distribution and fire resistance device 32 are less than 3 mm, and the irregular pore fire resistance performance is better, which can effectively prevent the backfire of ammonia and achieve the effect of zero carbon and zero nitrogen emissions.

[0040] As a preferred technical solution, the air distribution and fire resistance device 32 is made of a disc-shaped structure of high-temperature resistant porous medium composite ceramics, with a thickness of 45 - 50 mm. 16 inclined grooves are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the promoting winding ring 25. The promoting winding ring 25 is welded inside the ammonia nozzle, 18 - 20 mm away from the outlet end of the ammonia nozzle.

[0041] The main design basis of the present utility model is the chemical formula:

[0042] 4NH3 + 3O2 = 2N2 + 6H2O. This chemical formula is the reaction formula for the combustion of ammonia in pure oxygen, with the condition of ignition. Most of the existing burners on the market are for the combustion of ammonia in air, and the chemical reaction formula is 4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O. Therefore, no matter how the low-nitrogen structure is designed, the generation of nitrogen oxides cannot be avoided.

[0043] Working principle: Oxygen enters the oxygen inlet 1 and the oxygen gas chamber 11 of the burner through the control of the oxygen precision regulating valve 14, and then is evenly distributed through the oxygen nozzle 12; ammonia enters the ammonia inlet 2 and the ammonia gas chamber 23 through the control of the ammonia precision regulating valve 22, and then is evenly distributed through the ammonia nozzle 24. The oxygen nozzle 12 and the ammonia nozzle 24 are coaxially arranged, and the oxygen nozzle 12 is placed inside the ammonia nozzle 24. The oxygen is pure oxygen, and the pressure is generally between 0.1 MPa and 0.2 MPa. The high-pressure oxygen sucks the ammonia in the ammonia gas chamber 23 at a relatively high injection speed, allowing the ammonia to evenly enter the mixing area of ammonia and oxygen through the ammonia nozzle 24. After the two gases are mixed, they flow through the promoting ring 25 provided at the front end of the ammonia nozzle 24, and then form a strong turbulent mixture, which is sprayed forward into the mixed gas cavity 33 together, and then enters the air distribution and fire prevention device 32 and is sprayed into the furnace for combustion to generate heat.

[0044] The flow rates of oxygen and ammonia are strictly controlled in a ratio of 3.05:4 by the oxygen flow meter 15 and the ammonia flow meter 21. While achieving complete combustion, the oxygen is accurately controlled to avoid the generation of thermal nitrogen oxides. The oxygen and ammonia are fed into multiple small nozzles, which can not only premix the oxygen and ammonia evenly, but also avoid the potential hazards that may exist due to the excessive residence time of the mixed gas in a larger cavity; at the same time, the air distribution and fire prevention device 32 has higher fire resistance and better fire prevention performance for irregular pores.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
