Abstract

A burner characterized by being equipped with: a fuel supply nozzle to which a mixed flow of a solid fuel and a solid fuel transport gas is supplied; a flow passage that is arranged on the outside of the fuel supply nozzle and that supplies combustion air separated from the mixed flow; and ammonia supply nozzles which are capable of supplying ammonia on the downstream side of the outlet of the fuel supply nozzle toward a reduction region in which oxygen in the transport gas has been consumed due to ignition of the fuel and the progress of combustion, resulting in a low oxygen concentration. Thus, it is possible to provide a burner capable of burning a mixture of a solid fuel and ammonia, and a combustion device equipped with this burner.

Claims (31)

1. A burner comprising:

a fuel supply nozzle to which a mixed flow of a solid fuel and a carrier gas for the solid fuel is supplied;

a flow passage which is disposed on an outside of the fuel supply nozzle to supply a combustion air separately from the mixed flow;

a first guide member which is installed at an outlet part of the flow passage of the combustion air to strengthen a separation of an outer peripheral air from the mixed flow;

an ammonia supply nozzle configured to supply ammonia toward a reduction region in which oxygen in the carrier gas is consumed by ignition and combustion progress of a fuel on a downstream side of an outlet of the fuel supply nozzle to be a low oxygen concentration, and which is provided so that a downstream end thereof is disposed on a downstream side of the flow of the combustion air with respect to the first guide member.

2. The burner according to claim 1 , further comprising, a second guide member which is installed at a tip portion of a partition wall between the mixed low and the combustion air to guide the combustion air so as to be separated from the mixed flow.

3. The burner according to claim 2 , wherein the ammonia supply nozzle is provided so that a downstream end thereof is disposed on an upstream side of a flow of the combustion air with respect to the second guide member.

4. The burner according to claim 1 , further comprising a mounted vane which is disposed in the flow passage of the combustion air to separate the combustion air from the mixed flow.

5. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein the ammonia supply nozzle is provided so that an injection angle of ammonia thereof is adjustable.

6. The burner according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of heat input due to combustion of the solid fuel to heat input due to combustion of the ammonia is adjustable.

7. The burner according to claim 6 , wherein the ratio of heat input due to combustion of the ammonia is 50% or less.

8. A combustion device comprising:

a furnace in which the burner according to claim 1 is installed; and

an additional nozzle configured to separate and supply a part of the combustion air onto the downstream side of the burner in the furnace.

9. The combustion device according to claim 8 , wherein a total air flow rate supplied from the burner is set to be a theoretical air amount or less.

10. A burner comprising:

a fuel supply nozzle to which a mixed flow of a solid fuel and a carrier gas for the solid fuel is supplied;

a flow passage which is disposed on an outside of the fuel supply nozzle to supply a combustion air separately from the mixed flow;

an ammonia supply nozzle configured to supply ammonia toward a reduction region in which oxygen in the carrier gas is consumed by ignition and combustion progress of a fuel on a downstream side of an outlet of the fuel supply nozzle to be a low oxygen concentration;

a first guide member which is installed at an outlet part of the flow passage of the combustion air to strengthen a separation of an outer peripheral air from the mixed flow; and

the ammonia supply nozzle which is installed by penetrating the first guide member to supply the ammonia to the reduction region.

11. The burner according to claim 10 , further comprising a second guide member which is installed at a tip portion of a partition wall between the mixed flow and the combustion air to guide the combustion air so as to be separated from the mixed flow.

12. The burner according to claim 11 , wherein the ammonia supply nozzle is provided so that a downstream end thereof is disposed on an upstream side of a flow of the combustion air with respect to the first second guide member.

13. The burner according to claim 10 , further comprising a mounted vane which is disposed in the flow passage of the combustion air to separate the combustion air from the mixed flow.

14. The burner according to claim 10 , wherein the ammonia supply nozzle is provided so that an injection angle of ammonia thereof is adjustable.

15. The burner according to claim 10 , wherein a ratio of heat input due to combustion of the solid fuel to heat input due to combustion of the ammonia is adjustable.

16. The burner according to claim 15 , wherein the ratio of heat input due to combustion of the ammonia is 50% or less.

17. A combustion device comprising:

a furnace in which the burner according to claim 10 is installed; and

an additional nozzle configured to separate and supply a part of the combustion air onto the downstream side of the burner in the furnace.

18. The combustion device according to claim 17 , wherein a total air flow rate supplied from the burner is set to be a theoretical air amount or less.
