Abstract

In this combustion burner and boiler, interference of ignition in a flame stabilizer is suppressed and flame stabilizing performance is improved by providing: a fuel nozzle which ejects a fuel gas that is a mixture of pulverized coal and air; a combustion air nozzle which ejects a fuel gas combustion air from outside of the fuel nozzle; a secondary air nozzle which ejects secondary air from the outside of the combustion air nozzle; and a flame stabilizer which comprises a first flame stabilizer main body which is arranged at the leading end of the fuel nozzle and separated by a prescribed space from the inner wall surface of the fuel nozzle and which forms a ring shape having as the center an axial line along the ejection direction of the fuel gas.

Claims (30)

1. A combustion burner comprising:

a fuel nozzle configured to eject fuel gas obtained by mixing fuel and air;

a secondary air nozzle configured to eject air from outside the fuel nozzle;

a flame stabilizer including a plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies disposed on a leading end of the fuel nozzle, the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies being separated from each other by a predetermined space, and separated from an inner wall surface of the fuel nozzle by a predetermined space; and

a plurality of support members connecting the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies to the inner wall surface of the fuel nozzle,

wherein the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies each have:

a flat portion having a constant width along a flow direction of the fuel gas; and

a widened portion provided integrally at a downstream end of the flat portion in the flow direction of the fuel gas, the widened portion having a width increasing in the flow direction of the fuel gas, and

the plurality of support members each have a width that is less than respective widths of each flat portion of the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies.

2. The combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies are disposed in a lattice form or a staggered form on a surface that is orthogonal to a flow direction of the fuel gas.

3. The combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein:

portions of the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies that face each other are provided with a flat surface portion.

4. The combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein:

the widened portion forms a triangular cross-sectional shape that widens facing downstream in an ejection direction of the fuel gas;

a plurality of the flame stabilizer main bodies are disposed separated from each other by a predetermined space; and

a spread angle of one of the portions of the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies that face each other is set to be larger than the other of the portions.

5. The combustion burner according to claim 4 , wherein:

among the widened portions of plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies, a spread angle of the widened portion disposed on a side of a center of the fuel nozzle is set to be larger than a spread angle of the widened portions disposed on a side of the inner wall surface of the fuel nozzle.

6. The combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of flame stabilizer main bodies form a ring shape having an axial line along the ejection direction of the fuel gas as a center.

7. The combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein:

a plurality of the flame stabilizer main bodies form a rectangular ring shape or a round ring shape.

8. The combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein:

the widened portion forms a triangular cross-sectional shape that widens facing downstream in the ejection direction of the fuel gas;

a plurality of the flame stabilizer main bodies are disposed separated from each other by a predetermined space; and

a swirl vane is disposed on the flame stabilizer main body disposed on the side of the center of the fuel nozzle.

9. A boiler comprising:

a furnace which forms a hollow shape and is installed vertically; and

a combustion burner described in claim 1 , disposed on the furnace.
