Abstract

A solid fuel burner is provided with a guide member arranged on an outer circumferential section of a distal end of a first gas nozzle so as to guide a fluid flowing through a second flow passage outward in a radial direction; and a contraction forming member that is arranged on an upstream side of the guide member with respect to the flow direction of the second flow passage so as to reduce the cross sectional area of the second flow passage. An outer diameter of the guide member is formed to be smaller than an inner diameter of an outer peripheral wall of a second gas nozzle. The first gas nozzle, the guide member, and the contraction forming member are configured so as to be integrally attachable/detachable along an axial direction of the first gas nozzle toward the outside of a furnace.

Claims (26)

1. An solid fuel burner comprising:

a first gas nozzle having a cylindrical flow passage through which a mixed fluid of a solid fuel and a carrier gas of the solid fuel flows;

a second gas nozzle configured to form a second flow passage through which a combustion gas of the solid fuel flows, and is formed on an outer peripheral side of the first gas nozzle;

a guide member disposed on an outer peripheral portion of a tip of the first gas nozzle to guide a fluid flowing through the second flow passage radially outward; and

a contraction forming member disposed on an upstream side of the guide member with respect to a flow direction of the second flow passage, to narrow a cross-sectional area of the second flow passage,

wherein an outer diameter of the guide member is formed to be smaller than an inner diameter of an outer peripheral wall of the second gas nozzle,

the first gas nozzle, the guide member, and the contraction forming member are configured to be integrally attachable/detachable toward an outside of the furnace in an axial direction of the first gas nozzle,

a fin member which is disposed between the contraction forming member and the guide member to rectify the secondary air flowing through the second flow passage, and

a contraction forming member supported by the fin member.

2. The solid fuel burner according to claim 1 , wherein, when setting the inner diameter of the outer peripheral wall of the second gas nozzle to be L 1 , the outer diameter of the guide member to be L 2 , and an inner diameter of the contraction forming member to be L 4 , these diameters have a relationship as below:

L 1 >L 2 >L 4 .

3. A flame stabilizer provided at an opening end portion of a fuel nozzle of a solid fuel burner having a cylindrical first gas nozzle through which a mixed fluid of a solid fuel and a carrier gas flows and a second gas nozzle disposed on an outer peripheral side of the first gas nozzle, the flame stabilizer for the solid fuel burner comprising:

an annular contraction forming member configured to reduce a flow passage for a combustion gas which flows on an outer peripheral side of the flame stabilizer inward from an outside;

a plurality of fin members which extend in a direction along a flow of the combustion gas and are provided in the flame stabilizer in a circumferential direction thereof; and

a guide member provided to deflect the flow of the combustion gas passing through the annular contraction forming member outward,

wherein an outer diameter of the guide member is larger than an inner diameter of the annular contraction forming member,

the first gas nozzle, the guide member, and the contraction forming member are configured to be integrally attachable/detachable toward an outside of the furnace in an axial direction of the first gas nozzle,

the fin members which are disposed between the contraction forming member and the guide member to rectify the secondary air flowing through the second flow passage, and

the contraction forming member supported by the fin member.

4. A flame stabilizer provided at an opening end portion of a fuel nozzle of a solid fuel burner, the flame stabilizer for the solid fuel burner comprising:

an annular contraction forming member configured to reduce a flow passage for a combustion gas which flows on an outer peripheral side of the flame stabilizer inward from an outside;

a plurality of fin members which extend in a direction along a flow of the combustion gas and are provided in the flame stabilizer in a circumferential direction thereof; and

a guide member provided to deflect the flow of the combustion gas passing through the annular contraction forming member outward,

wherein an outer diameter of the guide member is larger than an inner diameter of the annular contraction forming member,

the fin members which are disposed between the contraction forming member and the guide member to rectify the secondary air flowing through the second flow passage, and

the contraction forming member supported by the fin member.
