Abstract

In a burner tip, combustion burner, and boiler, the burner tip is provided with: a mixing chamber provided at an inner portion of the tip body; a plurality of first mixed fluid jet holes of which base end portions communicate with the mixing chamber, of which front end portions open on a lateral side of the tip body, and which are placed in circumferential direction of the tip body at predetermined intervals; a fluid fuel supply passage configured to supply a fluid fuel to the mixing chamber; and an atomizing medium supply passage configured to supply an atomizing medium to the mixing chamber, thereby, combustibility is improved by facilitating the mixing of a fluid fuel and an atomizing medium and thus making the size of liquid fuel droplets smaller.

Claims (26)

1. A burner tip comprising:

a tip body with a side wall section having a cylindrical shape along an axial direction and a front end portion which is defined in a hemispherical shape and disposed at one end portion of the side wall section;

a mixing chamber provided inside the tip body;

a plurality of mixed fluid jet holes through which the mixing chamber is in communication with an outside of the tip body;

a plurality of atomizing medium supply passages which are provided on a base end side of the tip body to allow supply of an atomizing medium to the mixing chamber along an axial direction thereof; and

a plurality of fluid fuel supply passages which are provided on the base end side of the tip body on an outer side of the atomizing medium supply passages to allow supply of a fluid fuel to the mixing chamber along a radial direction thereof,

wherein the plurality of mixed fluid jet holes comprise a plurality of first mixed fluid jet holes which are provided on the side wall section at predetermined intervals in the axial direction and which penetrate the side wall section obliquely towards a front end portion side from the mixing chamber and a plurality of second mixed fluid jet holes provided on the front end portion, and

wherein the first mixed fluid jet holes and the second mixed fluid jet holes disposed at a same position in a circumferential direction are provided in parallel.

2. The burner tip according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first mixed fluid jet holes are radially defined, centering on an axis of the tip body.

3. The burner tip according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first mixed fluid jet holes are provided on the side wall section in plural so as to be parallel to each other at predetermined intervals in the axial direction.

4. The burner tip according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second mixed fluid jet holes are disposed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.

5. A combustion burner comprising:

a wind box;

a fuel passage disposed in a central portion of the wind box;

an air passage disposed outside the fuel passage in the wind box;

a burner gun disposed in a central portion of the fuel passage; and

the burner tip according to claim 1 disposed at a front end portion of the burner gun.

6. A boiler configured to combust fuel and air in a furnace having a hollow shape and recover heat by performing heat exchange in the furnace, the boiler comprising:

the combustion burner according to claim 5 disposed on a furnace wall.

7. The burner tip according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first mixed fluid jet holes are open to a lateral side of the tip body, and are disposed at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of the tip body.

8. The burner tip according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of second mixed fluid jet holes are defined on an inclined surface section of the front end portion.

9. The burner tip according to claim 1 , wherein:

a back plate having a disk shape is provided on the base end side of tip body,

the plurality of atomizing medium supply passages are provided on a central portion side of the back plate,

the plurality of fluid fuel supply passages are provided on an outer peripheral side of the back plate, and

a plurality of communication passages, through which the plurality of atomizing medium supply passages and the plurality of fluid fuel supply passages are connected, are provided along a radial direction of the back plate.
