Abstract

In a burner of an embodiment, a torch part includes: a torch combustor liner that is provided in a torch part casing and burns a fuel and an oxidant; a torch fuel supply part that supplies a fuel; a torch oxidant supply part that supplies an oxidant; an ignition device that ignites a fuel-air mixture; and a combustion gas pipe that is arranged at the center of the torch part and leads a combustion gas in the torch combustor liner to one end side of the torch part. A main fuel-main oxidant supply part includes: a main fuel supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the torch part; and a main oxidant supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the main fuel supply passage.

Claims (32)

1. A burner with a torch ignition mechanism, comprising:

a tubular torch part extending in an axial direction;

a main fuel-main oxidant supply part provided on one end side of the torch part and formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the torch part; and

a flame detection mechanism provided on the other end side of the torch part, wherein

the torch part includes:

a torch part casing;

a torch combustor liner that is provided in the torch part casing and burns a fuel and an oxidant;

a torch fuel supply part that supplies a fuel into the torch combustor liner;

a torch oxidant supply part that supplies an oxidant into the torch combustor liner;

an ignition device that ignites a fuel-air mixture inside the torch combustor liner;

a combustion gas pipe that extends from the torch combustor liner toward one end side of the torch part, is arranged at the center of the torch part, and leads a combustion gas generated in the torch combustor liner to one end side of the torch part; and

a cooling medium passage that is formed in an annular shape between the torch combustor liner and the combustion gas pipe and the torch part casing, and leads a cooling medium toward one end side of the torch part,

the main fuel-main oxidant supply part includes:

a main fuel supply passage formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the torch part; and

a main oxidant supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the main fuel supply passage, and

the flame detection mechanism includes:

a flame detection part provided on the other end side of the torch part,

(A) the flame detection part detecting a flame in the torch combustor liner when a flame is formed in the torch combustor liner and (B) the flame detection part detecting a flame formed by a fuel and an oxidant supplied from the main fuel-main oxidant supply part when no flame is formed in the torch combustor liner; and

a flame detection passage that communicates the flame detection part with the torch combustor liner,

wherein the combustion gas pipe, the torch combustor liner, the flame detection passage, and the flame detection part are arranged coaxially with a center axis of the burner.

2. The burner with the torch ignition mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein

the flame detection mechanism further includes:

a light transmission member that is provided between the flame detection part and the flame detection passage and transmits light from a flame to the flame detection part side; and

a purification medium supply portion that supplies a purification medium that purifies the light transmission member to the flame detection passage.

3. The burner with the torch ignition mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein

the main fuel supply passage includes:

a first main fuel supply passage formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the torch part; and

a second main fuel supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the first main fuel supply passage.

4. The burner with the torch ignition mechanism according to claim 3 , wherein

the main oxidant supply passage includes:

a first main oxidant supply passage formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the main fuel supply passage; and

a second main oxidant supply passage formed in an annular shape on an outer periphery of the first main oxidant supply passage.
