Currently, most tangentially fired boilers, without oil or plasma-assisted combustion, typically have a minimum stable combustion load of 35% of their rated load, making it difficult to achieve deep peak shaving below 35% or even lower. During deep peak shaving, the furnace temperature drops, pulverized coal ignition becomes difficult, flame stability is poor, and flameout is likely, posing a significant safety hazard. Stable combustion at low loads is crucial for deep peak shaving in thermal power units, and improving the stable combustion capability of tangentially fired boilers is an important task that needs to be addressed for deep peak shaving.

This device solves the problems of furnace temperature drop, difficulty in igniting pulverized coal, poor flame stability, easy flameout, and significant accident hazards associated with furnace flameout during deep peak shaving in existing tangential combustion boilers. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0004] A low-load stable combustion device for a tangential combustion boiler includes a burnout air assembly, a burner assembly, and a peak-shaving burner assembly arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the tangential combustion boiler. The peak-shaving burner assembly is used to form a large imaginary circular combustion airflow in the boiler. The burner assembly is used to form a small imaginary circular combustion airflow in the boiler. The burnout air assembly is used to provide additional oxygen to ensure complete combustion of combustibles in the boiler.

[0005] Furthermore, the peak-shaving burner assembly includes four swirl burners, which are respectively installed on the water-cooled walls on the four sides of the boiler; the four swirl burners simultaneously spray combustion gas to form a large imaginary circular combustion gas flow inside the boiler.

[0006] Furthermore, the distance H between the swirl burner and the adjacent water-cooled wall is not less than 1 / 4L, where L is the width of the water-cooled wall.

[0007] Furthermore, the burner assembly includes several layers of combustion assemblies; each layer of the combustion assembly includes four DC burners; the four DC burners are respectively arranged at the four corners of the boiler; the four DC burners simultaneously inject combustion gas flow to form small imaginary circular combustion gas flow within the boiler.

[0008] Furthermore, the burner assembly includes nine layers of combustion components, configured as four layers of primary air nozzles and five layers of secondary air nozzles, with the primary and secondary air nozzles arranged alternately from top to bottom at the four corners of the boiler.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the large imaginary circular combustion airflow formed by the four swirl burners in the boiler is greater than the diameter of the small imaginary circular combustion airflow formed by the four direct-flow burners in the boiler, and the large imaginary circular combustion airflow and the small imaginary circular combustion airflow are in the same direction, and are either clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0010] Furthermore, the swirl burner includes a central air duct, a pulverized coal primary air duct, an inner secondary air duct, an outer secondary air duct, and a pre-combustion chamber; the pulverized coal primary air duct, the inner secondary air duct, and the outer secondary air duct are all annular channels, arranged concentrically with the central air duct; the pre-combustion chamber is located inside the boiler and is connected to the outlets of the central air duct, the pulverized coal primary air duct, the inner secondary air duct, and the outer secondary air duct.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle between the swirl burner and the water-cooled wall is α; the value of α ranges from 80 to 100°.

[0015] 1. This utility model combines a swirl burner and a direct-flow burner, with the swirl burner arranged on the water-cooled walls on all four sides of the boiler, creating a large imaginary circular combustion airflow within the boiler. The direct-flow burners are arranged at the four corners of the boiler, creating a small imaginary circular combustion airflow with a smaller diameter than the large imaginary circular combustion airflow.

[0025] Example:

[0026] See attached Figures 1-5A low-load stable combustion device for a tangential combustion boiler includes a burnout air assembly 1, a burner assembly 2, and a peak-shaving burner assembly, arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the boiler. The peak-shaving burner assembly is further arranged according to the number of coal mills, with one coal mill corresponding to one layer of peak-shaving burner assembly. Specifically, the peak-shaving burner assembly includes four swirl burners 3, which are respectively installed on the four side walls of the boiler, with the four swirl burners 3 on the same horizontal line. Compared with the direct-flow burner 5, the swirl burner 3 has a stronger self-stabilizing combustion capability by using swirl air distribution and other methods. Above the swirl burner 3, the burner assembly 2 is arranged, which consists of several layers of combustion assemblies, preferably nine layers. Each layer of combustion assembly includes four direct-flow burners 5, which are preferably installed at the four corners of the boiler, simultaneously injecting combustion gas into the furnace. Above the burner assembly 2 is a burnout air assembly 1, which is also composed of DC burners 5. Preferably, three layers are arranged, with four DC burners 5 in each layer located at the four corners of the boiler. This is used to provide the required oxygen during the burnout stage, ensuring that the fuel can burn completely and reducing the generation of nitrogen oxides during combustion, thereby reducing environmental pollution. The burnout air also helps to stabilize the combustion process and ignite the fuel. The use of the burnout air can be controlled as needed.

[0027] Four swirl burners 3 are located on the four side walls of the boiler, simultaneously injecting combustion gas into the boiler, forming a large imaginary tangential combustion flow inside the boiler, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2 As shown; the four DC burners 5 of each combustion assembly are located at the four corners of the boiler, simultaneously injecting combustion airflow into the boiler, forming a small imaginary tangential circle combustion flow with a diameter smaller than the large imaginary tangential circle inside the boiler, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the imaginary tangent circle of the swirl burner 3 is larger than that of the direct-flow burner 5. The swirl burner 3 has a stronger self-stabilizing combustion capability. Utilizing the stable combustion characteristics of the swirl burner 3, high-temperature flue gas is formed. This high-temperature flue gas envelops the combustion flame generated by the direct-flow burner 5, forming a combustion pattern where a large high-temperature flame envelops a small flame, thus increasing the stable combustion capability. The large imaginary tangent circle formed by the swirl burner 3 and the small imaginary tangent circle formed by the direct-flow burner 5 are in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0028] Each layer of the nine-layer combustion assembly, consisting of a direct-flow burner 5, is divided into primary air nozzles 6 and secondary air nozzles 7, arranged in an alternating pattern. The fourth layer contains primary air nozzles 6, and the fifth layer contains secondary air nozzles 7. This alternating arrangement of primary and secondary air nozzles 7 allows for better mixing of pulverized coal and air, improving combustion efficiency. Simultaneously, this arrangement helps to form a stable flame, preventing flame deviation or extinguishing, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the boiler. Furthermore, by adjusting parameters such as the air volume, velocity, and nozzle angle of the primary and secondary air, the combustion process can be further optimized, pollutant emissions reduced, and the overall performance of the boiler improved.

[0029] The angle between the nozzle direction of the swirl burner 3 and the side wall is α, and the value of α ranges from 80 to 100°. The position of the swirl burner 3 on the side wall of the boiler is arranged according to the specific situation, thereby changing the diameter of the large imaginary tangent circle inside the boiler. This ensures that the diameter of the imaginary tangent circle formed by the swirl burner 3 is always larger than the imaginary tangent circle formed by the direct current burner 5, so as to achieve a combustion mode in which a large flame surrounds a small flame and increase the stable combustion capability.

[0030] The four side walls of the boiler are the water-cooled wall walls 4 of the boiler. The distance L from the position of the swirl burner 3 to the adjacent water-cooled wall wall 4 is not less than 1 / 4L, where L is the width of the water-cooled wall wall 4, in order to prevent the swirling flame of the swirl burner 3 from scouring the water-cooled wall wall 4.

[0031] The swirl burner 3 is preferably equipped with a pre-combustion chamber 12, which includes a central air channel 8, a primary air channel 9 for pulverized coal flow, an inner secondary air channel 10, an outer secondary air channel 11, and a pre-combustion chamber 12. The primary air channel 9, the inner secondary air channel 10, and the outer secondary air channel 11 are all annular channels, arranged concentrically with the central air channel 8. The central and primary air flows are direct current, while the inner and outer secondary air flows are swirling air. Each channel is equipped with a swirler with adjustable swirling intensity. This burner further enhances the stable combustion capability compared to the tangential direct current burner 5, and is more conducive to improving the stable combustion capability of tangential combustion at the four corners.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
