Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biomass gas combustor, more particularly to a biomass gas combustion system of accurate control combustion. BACKGROUND

[0002] Biomass gas is a combustible gas produced by biomass raw materials (wood chips, bamboo, rice husk, fruit shell and other agricultural and forestry waste) through high-temperature cracking of biomass gasifier. Biomass gas is a low-calorific value combustible gas that needs to be mixed with air at a suitable ratio to achieve complete combustion. The main way of biomass gas utilization at present is to supply biomass gas produced by biomass gasifier to biomass gas boiler for combustion and heat supply. The biomass gas boiler combustor is provided with a blower to send air into the combustor to mix with the biomass gas produced by the biomass gasifier and then burn.

[0003] In actual operation, the composition of the biomass gas produced by the biomass gasifier is unstable. At the same time, the biomass gasifier + biomass gas boiler heat supply system is affected by the user side demand and runs at partial load for a long time. Under the condition of partial load operation of the biomass gasifier, the biomass gas flow decreases, and compared with the full load condition, the gas composition also changes, so the air quantity cannot be simply adjusted in proportion to the reduction of the biomass gas flow. Therefore, the air quantity required for complete combustion of the biomass gas entering the biomass gas boiler combustor needs to be accurately controlled to ensure complete combustion of the biomass gas. The existing combustor controls the air-fuel ratio mainly by manual operation, relying on the experience of the operator to adjust the air quantity of the blower, which cannot ensure the optimal ratio of biomass gas to air in the combustor and cannot effectively monitor the combustion of biomass gas. Oxygen is often excessive, nitrogen oxide emission exceeds the standard, or oxygen is insufficient, and part of the biomass gas is not completely combusted and discharged, etc. This not only reduces the utilization rate of biomass gas, but also brings inconvenience to the operation and management of the system.

[0004] The biomass combustor with the patent number 201821890644 is provided with a carbon monoxide and oxygen concentration sensor on the tail gas pipe, judges the combustion condition of the biomass gas according to the feedback data of the sensor, and controls the gas supply valve of the biomass gas to adjust the ratio of the biomass gas to air, so as to improve the combustion efficiency of the biomass gas. However, this scheme does not consider the problem of control lag and untimely response of the gas supply valve in adjusting the biomass gas flow, so it is difficult to achieve the purpose of accurately controlling complete combustion of the biomass gas.
