Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and apparatus for burning fuel resulting in low NO,, formation. More specifically, this invention relates to a staged fuel and air injection burner.
- staged air type low NOx burner wherein the fuel is first burned in a deficiency of air in one zone producing a reducing environment that suppresses NO X formation and then the remaining portion of the air is added in a subsequent zone.
- Staged fuel also has been suggested by Hitachi Zosen of Japan in brochure No. D-148 of July 1978 wherein all of the air and some of the fuel is burned in the first zone and then the remaining fuel is added in the second zone.
- the presence of an over abundance of air in the first reaction zone acts as a diluent thus lowering the temperature and suppressing formation of NO X . It has also been proposed to recirculate flue gas to accomplish the lowering of the flame temperature.
- a method for burning fuel-air mixture for a furnace chamber that will result in low NO x products of combustion comprising the steps of supplying, at a given instant of burning, a given total amount of pressurized fuel and a given total amount of air, the total amount of air being at least substantially stoichiometrically sufficient to burn the total amount of fuel supplied to a burner, is characterized in that a primary reaction zone is created in the burner that begins outside of the furnace chamber but extends into the furnace chamber by supplying a first portion of the total fuel and a portion of the total air which exceeds the stoichiometric requirements for burning the first portion of the total fuel, separately injecting the remaining portion of the total fuel and the remaining portion of the total air into the furnace chamber so as to create a substantially unconfined secondary reaction zone about and reacting with a substantial portion of the primary reaction zone, the remaining portion of the total air being less than the stoichiometric requirement to burn the remaining portion of the total fuel.
- the fuel may be proportioned from about 40% to 60% to the primary reaction zone and then from about 60% to 40% to the second reaction zone while the air is proportioned from about 80% to 95% to the primary zone (preferably 90%) and from about 20% to 5% to the secondary zone (preferably 10%).
- a fuel-air burner for a furnace chamber comprising an air-fuel mixing and injection burner housing attached to the furnace wall such that th.e downstream face of the burner housing terminates substantially adjacent an inner wall of the furnace chamber, means being provided to supply to the housing at a given instant of burning, a given total amount of fuel under pressure and a given total amount of air, the total amount of air being at least substantially stoichiometrically sufficient to burn the total amount of fuel supplied to the burner housing, means being provided to create a primary reaction burning zone that begins in an enclosed space upstream of the inner wall and extends downstream of the inner wall into the furnace chamber and at least one secondary fuel supply and injection nozzle disposed adjacent the enclosed space, is characterized by means for supplying, to the primary burning zone, a first portion of the total fuel and a portion of the total air which exceeds the stoichiometric requirements for burning the first portion of fuel thereto, at least one conduit through the burner housing located adjacent the enclosed space, the or each conduit, providing communication between the total air supply
- the burner is indicated generally by the numeral 10.
- This particular embodiment involves a primary burnertube 12 leading to a T-bar primary nozzle 14 along with a pair of secondary burner tubes 16 and secondary burner nozzles 18 all being supplied hydrocarbon fuel from a common source through tube 20.
- the fuel exiting primary nozzle 14 enters the primary combustion zone 22 wherein it is burned in the presence of a significant stoichiometric excess of air flowing through the interior 24 of the burner and entering the primary reaction zone 22 through an annular space 26 surrounding the primary nozzle 14, as indicated by the presence of arrows.
- the effluent from the primary reaction zone 22 enters a larger secondary reaction zone 28. Simultaneously, the fuel exiting the secondary nozzle 18 is mixed with air from the interior 24 of the burner 10 passing through annular conduits 30 surrounding burner tubes 16 and is then burned in the secondary reaction zone 28 in the presence of the effluent from the first reaction zone 22.
- the orifices of the respective T-bar nozzle 14and secondary nozzles 18 are sized such that the fuel is proportioned between the primary reaction zone and the secondary reaction zone. Preferably from about 40 to about 60% of the fuel is directed through the primary nozzle 14 and the remaining fuel is directed to the secondary nozzles 18.
- the cross-sectional area of the annular space 26 and the annular conduits 30 for conducting air to primary and secondary reaction zones are selectedsuch as to deliver about 80% to 95% of the total airto the primary reaction zone 22 and the remaining 20% to 5% of the total air to the secondary reaction zone 28.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the directional characteristics of the orifices of each secondary nozzle 18. As illustrated, the five fuel ports 32 will issue a fan like sheet of fuel directed towards the effluent of the primary combustion zone.
- FIG. 5 an alternate forced draft burner 10 is illustrated involving a single gas nozzle 34 that directs the fuel delivered through conduit 36 into the primary combustion zone 3.8 defined by the refractory walls 40 of the burner.
- Riser pipes 42 fitted with orifice tips 44 extend through this refractory wall 40 such as to deliver the secondary fuel to the secondary combustion zone 46.
- combustion air flows through the interior 48 of burner 10 into the primary zone 38 by way of annular conduit 49 and into secondary combustion zone 46 through annular openings 50.
- Figs. 6, 7 and 8 illustrate the basic orifice or port configuration 52 of the secondary nozzles 44 including alternate angles of inclination (Fig. 7) towards the axial direction of the flow in the primary reaction zone 38.
- Fig. 9 illustrates another alternate embodiment of a staged fuel and air burner 10 of the present invention wherein the particular burner is a flat flame design involving a pair of primary nozzles 54 and 56 each essentially adjacent to the refractory walls forming the primary reaction zone 58. Similar to the previous embodiments, secondary fuel conduits 60 and 62 pass through the refractory material such as to deliver fuel to the secondary reaction zone 64.
- the tip drillings included three orifices and were oriented in the first series discharging vertically upward (parallel to the centerline of the burner), in the second series discharging at a small angle, e.g. 15° off vertical (towards the burner centerline) and in the third series discharging 30° off vertical (towards the burner centerline).
- Each test series of each set of tips included variations of primary/ secondary fuel ratio and turned down tests.
- Fig. 10 shows the graphs plotted as a result of the tests.
- the burner was also fired on center gas only to establish the base point for non-staged operation of 80 ppm NO x .
- the lowest NO,, levels were obtained with secondary orifices discharging parallel to the burner axis, but this set of tips also produces the highest level of combustibles.
- Turn down on 30° tips was about 3:1 on a fifty/fifty fuel split and turn down on 15° tips was about 2:1 on a forty/sixty split. Flame appearance was generally good on all arrangements. From the data and test results it is readily apparent that the basic concept of staged air and fuel combustion is capable of producing NOX levels significantly lower than conventional combustion.
