Lance of a burner
View Patent ↗The lance of a burner includes a body that defines a first duct with first nozzles for injecting a liquid fuel and a second duct with second nozzles for injecting a gaseous fuel. Outlets of the first nozzles are spaced apart from outlets of the second nozzles. The body includes a third duct with third and fourth nozzles for injecting air. The third nozzles surround an axis of the first nozzles and the fourth nozzles surround an axis of the second nozzles.
1. A lance for a burner comprising:
a lance body including:
a first duct with first nozzles for injecting a liquid fuel;
a second duct with second nozzles for injecting a gaseous fuel, wherein outlets of the first nozzles are spaced apart from outlets of the second nozzles; and
a third duct with third and fourth nozzles for injecting air, wherein the third nozzles surround an axis of the first nozzles and the fourth nozzles surround an axis of the second nozzles, wherein the outlets of the first nozzles are downstream of the outlets of the second nozzles, axes of the first nozzles are inclined relative to axes of the second nozzles, and axes of the first nozzles are inclined relative to an axis of a terminal portion of the lance.
2. The lance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third nozzles are defined by holes in a wall of the third duct.
3. The lance as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each hole defining a third nozzle houses a first nozzle.
4. The lance as claimed in claim 3 , wherein free borders of the first nozzles are flush with a surrounding wall of the third duct.
5. A reheat burner, comprising a lance, including:
a first duct with first nozzles for injecting a liquid fuel;
a second duct with second nozzles for injecting a gaseous fuel, wherein outlets of the first nozzles are spaced apart from outlets of the second nozzles; and
a third duct with third and fourth nozzles for injecting air, wherein the third nozzles surround an axis of the first nozzles and the fourth nozzles surround an axis of the second nozzles, wherein the outlets of the first nozzles are downstream of the outlets of the second nozzles, axes of the first nozzles are inclined relative to axes of the second nozzles, and axes of the first nozzles are inclined relative to an axis of a terminal portion of the lance.
6. The reheat burner as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the third nozzles are defined by holes in a wall of the third duct.
7. The reheat burner as claimed in claim 6 , wherein each hole defining a third nozzle houses a first nozzle.
8. The reheat burner as claimed in claim 7 , wherein free borders of the first nozzles are flush with a surrounding wall of the third duct.
