Abstract

A burner device for supplying a mixture of a fuel gas and a combustion-supporting gas into a combustion region includes: a mixing path configured to inject the mixture from a downstream end portion of the mixing path into the combustion region; a fuel gas injection nozzle configured to inject the fuel gas into the mixing path toward the combustion region; and a combustion-supporting gas supply swirler configured to inject the combustion-supporting gas such that at least a part of the combustion-supporting gas collides directly with the fuel gas injected from the fuel gas injection nozzle, in a direction of a tangent line that is tangent to a fuel injection hole of the fuel gas injection nozzle on a cross-section.

Claims (15)

1. A burner device for supplying a mixture of a fuel gas and a combustion-supporting gas into a combustion region, the burner device comprising:

a mixing path configured to inject the mixture from a downstream end portion of the mixing path into the combustion region;

a fuel gas injection nozzle configured to inject the fuel gas into the mixing path toward the combustion region; and

a combustion-supporting gas supply swirler configured to inject the combustion-supporting gas from a radially outer side into the mixing path such that at least a part of the combustion-supporting gas collides directly with the fuel gas injected from the fuel gas injection nozzle, in a direction of a tangent line that is tangent to a fuel injection hole of the fuel gas injection nozzle in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to an axis of the burner device; and

a plurality of burner body units each including the mixing path, the fuel gas injection nozzle, and the combustion-supporting gas supply swirler, wherein

a combustion-supporting gas introduction opening through which the combustion-supporting gas is introduced into the burner device is disposed on an upstream side of the inlet of the combustion-supporting gas supply swirler of each burner body unit in a direction in which the fuel gas is injected,

wherein a width of a flow path of the combustion-supporting gas supply swirler is gradually reduced from an inlet of the combustion-supporting gas supply swirler toward an outlet thereof,

wherein the inlet faces away from the mixing path, and

wherein the outlet faces towards the mixing path.

2. The burner device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a diameter of a mixture injection outlet formed in the downstream end portion of the mixing path is less than a diameter of the outlet of the combustion-supporting gas supply swirler.

3. The burner device as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the combustion-supporting gas supply swirler comprises a plurality of outlets, including the outlet, along the radially outer side into the mixing path, and

wherein the plurality of outlets are opposite to each other across the radially outer side.

4. The burner device as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the swirler further comprises a flow path extended from the inlet to the outlet and comprising a plurality of wall surfaces.
