[0005] Furthermore, the heated coil includes an outer spiral coil and an inner spiral coil connected together, wherein the inner diameter of the outer spiral coil is larger than the outer diameter of the inner spiral coil.
[0006] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe is equipped with a flow regulating valve.
[0007] A staged burner includes a secondary air shell, a flame shield, a gas gun, and a steam coil.

[0024] For ease of description of technical features, the directional descriptions of "front" and "rear" in this utility model refer to the direction in which the flame of the ignition gun is emitted as the front.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is: a steam coil 40, including a water inlet pipe 41, a heating coil 42 and a steam ejection ring pipe 43 connected in sequence. The heating coil 42 is spiral in shape, and the inner circle diameter of the steam ejection ring pipe 43 is larger than the outer circle diameter of the heating coil 42. The steam ejection ring pipe 43 is provided with a plurality of steam outlet holes 431.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is: a staged burner, including an air inlet shell 10, a steam coil 40, a secondary air shell 20, a fire shield 30, a gas gun 50, and a shifting drive mechanism 60.
[0027] The air inlet housing 10 is provided with a first air inlet 11 for inputting combustion-supporting gas, and the tail end of the fire shield 30 is provided with a second air inlet 31. The secondary air housing 20 is installed at the front end of the air inlet housing 10, and the fire shield 30 is installed inside the secondary air housing 20. Part of the combustion-supporting gas input from the first air inlet 11 enters the space between the secondary air housing 20 and the fire shield 30, and the other part enters the inner cavity of the fire shield 30 through the second air inlet 31.
[0028] The gas gun 50 is provided with a gas inlet 51 for inputting gas, a gas nozzle 52 at the front end of the gas gun 50, and a spark plug 53 for ignition. The gas gun 50 is movably mounted on the fixed sleeve 12 of the air inlet housing 10. The front end of the gas gun 50 is located in the inner cavity of the flame shield 30. The shifting drive mechanism 60 is used to drive the gas gun 50 to move back and forth along the axial direction of the flame shield 30.

The steam ejection ring pipe 43 is provided with a plurality of steam outlet holes 431 facing forward.
[0030] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Water enters from the inlet pipe of the steam coil, cooling the primary flame burning inside the flame shield, preventing localized high temperatures, and reducing NOx emissions in the primary combustion zone. Simultaneously, the steam generated by the heating is ejected from the steam outlet hole of the steam ejection ring pipe. The steam mixes with secondary air in the secondary air shell and participates in secondary combustion. The OH and H groups produced by the decomposition of the steam can initiate a chain reaction with the CO produced in the primary combustion. The reactions H+O2→OH+O and O+H2→OH+H enhance the reducing atmosphere, facilitating the homogeneous reduction reaction of NO. Simultaneously, the H and OH free radicals generated from the dissociation of water vapor inhibit the oxidation of HCN to NO, resulting in a reduction in NO formation. The shifting drive mechanism moves the gas gun axially back and forth, controlling the flame position to suit different combustion power levels. At low power, the gas gun can be moved backward to increase the heat exchange area and ensure that the water in the steam coil is fully heated to convert into superheated steam; at high power, the gas gun is moved forward to prevent insufficient primary flame cooling and coil damage due to overheating of the steam coil.

[0032] In some other embodiments of this invention, the volume of water vapor generated by the steam coil 40 accounts for 5%-8% of the total flue gas volume generated by combustion. The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that a reasonable proportion range has a better effect on reducing NOx emissions.
[0033] In some other embodiments of this invention, a detector is also included for detecting the temperature of the heated coil 42.
