Coal boiler and coal boiler combustion method
Disclosed is a coal boiler that makes it possible to reduce the height of the boiler and shorten the period of construction. The coal boiler includes a first furnace in which a combustion gas generated by burning coal and air ascends; a second furnace in which the combustion gas supplied from the first furnace flows downward; and a heat recovery area in which the combustion gas supplied from the second furnace flows upward.
1. A coal boiler comprising:
a first furnace in which a combustion gas generated by burning coal and air ascends;
a second furnace in which the combustion gas supplied from the first furnace flows downward, the second furnace including a staged combustion after-air port; and
a heat recovery area in which the combustion gas supplied from the second furnace flows upward.
2. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , wherein a heat exchanger mounted in the heat recovery area is made of tubes; and wherein the spacing interval between the tubes constituting the heat exchanger is longer on the upstream side than on the downstream side.
3. The coal boiler according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a partition for dividing a combustion gas flow path in the heat recovery area into two.
4. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a superheater that is provided for a roof wall of the second furnace.
5. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a joint lower beam that is positioned between a rear wall of the first furnace and a front wall of the second furnace; and
an iron frame to which the joint lower beam is connected.
6. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a water/steam flow path that allows steam or water flowing in a water wall tube constituting the first furnace to flow in a water wall tube constituting the second furnace, pass through a water-steam separator, and flow in a cage wall tube constituting the heat recovery area.
7. The coal boiler according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a water/steam flow path that supplies steam discharged from the cage wall tube to a roof wall tube constituting the first furnace.
8. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a water/steam flow path that allows steam or water flowing in a water wall tube constituting the first furnace to flow in a cage wall tube constituting the heat recovery area, pass through a water-steam separator, and flow in a water wall tube constituting the second furnace.
9. The coal boiler according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a water/steam flow path that supplies steam discharged from the cage wall tube to a roof wall constituting the first furnace.
10. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a water/steam flow path that supplies water to a water wall tube constituting the first furnace and a water wall tube constituting the second furnace, and allows the water to pass through a water-steam separator and flow in a cage wall tube provided for the heat recovery area.
11. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , wherein the same member is used as a part of the second furnace and as a part of a cage wall of the heat recovery area.
12. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , wherein the second furnace includes an ammonia or urea ejection port.
13. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a screen tube that is provided for a furnace joint connecting the first furnace to the second furnace;
wherein steam, air, or water is injected into the screen tube to remove ash.
14. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , wherein a pendant structure is employed for the furnaces; wherein a ground-supported, free-standing structure is employed for a cage wall of the heat recovery area; and wherein a member for absorbing the thermal expansion of the cage wall is used to connect to the second furnace.
15. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , wherein the gas temperature in the second furnace is high enough for fuel combustion but not high enough for thermal NOx generation.
16. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a flow path for supplying a flue gas to the second furnace from the downstream side of a heat exchanger provided for the heat recovery area.
17. The coal boiler according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a structure for hanging a furnace joint provided between the first furnace and the second furnace.
18. A coal boiler combustion method comprising the steps of:
generating a combustion gas by burning coal and air ejected from a burner and allowing the generated combustion gas to ascend in a first furnace;
allowing the combustion gas supplied from the first furnace to descend in a second furnace;
supplying air to the second furnace through a staged combustion after-air port in the second furnace; and
allowing the combustion gas supplied from the second furnace to ascend in a heat recovery area.
