Abstract

Provided is a combustion device including: a burner that includes an ammonia injection nozzle having an injection port that faces an inner space of a furnace; and an adjustment structure that adjusts a separation distance between the injection port and the inner space.

Claims (19)

1 . A combustion device, comprising:

a burner including an ammonia injection nozzle having an injection port that faces an inner space of a furnace; and

an adjustment structure configured to adjust a separation distance between the injection port and the inner space,

wherein the burner includes a pulverized coal injection nozzle having an injection port that faces the inner space of the furnace, and

wherein the combustion device further comprises a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a flow rate of pulverized coal in the pulverized coal injection nozzle.

2 . The combustion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure so that the injection port is moved toward an inner side of the furnace as a flow rate of ammonia in the ammonia injection nozzle becomes lower.

3 . The combustion device according to claim 2 , further comprising a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a temperature in the inner space of the furnace.

4 . The combustion device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an air supply portion having an injection port that faces the inner space of the furnace; and

a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a flow rate of air in the air supply portion.

5 . The combustion device according to claim 4 , further comprising a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a temperature in the inner space of the furnace.

6 . The combustion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a temperature in the inner space of the furnace.

7 . A boiler comprising the combustion device of claim 1 .

8 . A combustion device, comprising:

a burner including an ammonia injection nozzle having an injection port that faces an inner space of a furnace;

an adjustment structure configured to adjust a separation distance between the injection port and the inner space;

an air supply portion having an injection port that faces the inner space of the furnace; and

a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a flow rate of air in the air supply portion.

9 . The combustion device according to claim 8 , further comprising a control device configured to control operation of the adjustment structure based on a temperature in the inner space of the furnace.
