- In a coal burning boiler apparatus, massive coal is pulverized by a coal pulverizer into fine powder which is fed together with combustion air into a combustion furnace where it is ignited and burned. The ignition and combustion of the pulverized coal fed to the furnace are processed such that at first volatile portions produced by heating the pulverized coal is ignited and then the pulverized coal itself is ignited.
- Conventionally used in a coal burning boiler apparatus is bituminous coal, which has much volatile portions, is readily ignited and is stable in flame. In a coal burning boiler using bituminous coal as fuel, combustion air (primary air) entraining pulverized coal is heated by exhaust gas from a boiler, the pulverized coal being heated by the primary air into a predetermined temperature. As to the heating of the pulverized coal, the temperature of the primary air is set to be substantially 80° C. for stable ignition and combustion and for prevention of spontaneous ignition during the entraining.
- However, recent demand is to use inexpensive low-quality coal with less volatile portions such as anthracite or semi-anthracite coal or oil coke. Pulverized coal with less volatile portions such as anthracite or semi-anthracite coal or oil coke has difficulty in ignition and is unstable in combustion. In order to overcome such drawbacks and ignite the pulverized coal with less volatile portions for stable self-standing combustion, required is feeding of the pulverized coal under high-temperature status which enables ignition even with such less volatile portions.
- A conventional coal burning boiler, which has no means for conducting heating depending on property of coal fuel, requires selection of coal fuel used depending on the coal burning boiler system. Or, in order to comply with changed fuel property, substantial changes in the system are required.

Detected results from the first andsecond temperature sensors signal processing part 24 into the main controllingpart 25. - The temperature of the
primary air 35 is set by regulation of flow rate ratio between the branchedprimary air 35′ and thebypass flow 35″ and the regulation of the flow rate ratio is conducted by the first and second flowrate regulating dampers bypass pipes rate regulating dampers coal pulverizer 2 or to the primaryair feed pipe 9 so as to regulate the temperature of theprimary air 35. - Flow rate of the
primary air 35 supplied is detected by theflow rate sensor 16 and the detected result is input to thecontroller 23 where via the main controllingpart 25 and the primary airamount regulating controller 31, the flow rate of theprimary air 35 is controlled by the primary airamount regulating damper 15 for proper combustion with no excess or deficiency depending on load. - The pulverized coal fed together with the
primary air 35 to the pulverized coal burners 4 is burned further together with thesecondary air 36. After the combustion, the exhaust gas is discharged via theexhaust duct 19. - The amount of oxygen remaining in the exhaust is detected by the
oxygen amount sensor 21 and the detected result is sent to thecontroller 23 where the main controllingpart 25 sets the forced draft amount for proper remaining oxygen amount suited for the fuel property to control the forceddraft fan 8 via thefan controller 28. - Next, temperature regulation of the
primary air 35 will be illustrated in conjunction withFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 3 illustrates flow of data processing relating to temperature regulation of theprimary air 35, data on properties of various kinds of coals usable for a coal burning boiler apparatus being obtained beforehand by means of analysis and the like. The data on the properties may include those of volatile portion, fuel ratio (fixed carbon/volatile portions), total moisture content in coals; data on spontaneous ignition temperatures of the respective coals with obtained property data are obtained through experiences, past performances and the like. The data on the properties of the respective coals are classified for the respective coals and are stored in thememory part 26 together with their classification codes; data on the spontaneous ignition temperatures of the respective coals are stored in thememory part 26 in association with the property data or with the classification codes. - With respect to the spontaneous ignition temperatures corresponding to the properties of the coals, spontaneous ignition temperatures only for typical properties of coals may be obtained to analogize spontaneous ignition temperatures for any unknown properties of coals from the spontaneous ignition temperatures corresponding to the known properties.
- When coal to be burned is determined, property analysis is conduced for the coal. The obtained coal property is input to the operating
part 27. In this case, if the coal property is known one, a classification code corresponding to the known coal property is input. The maincontrolling part 25 starts the combustion condition arithmetic program to calculate spontaneous ignition temperature on the basis of the stored property data to thereby set the temperature of theprimary air 35 on the outlet side of thecoal pulverizer 2. The temperature is set to be lower than the spontaneous ignition temperature by a predetermined temperature, e.g., by (approximately) 20° C. so as to prevent spontaneous ignition of the pulverized coal. For bituminous coal, the set temperature may be about 80° C.; and for anthracite or semi-anthracite coal or oil coke, about 100° C. - After the temperature of the
primary air 35 on the outlet side of thecoal pulverizer 2 is set, degrees of valve openings of the first and second flowrate regulating dampers primary air 35 on the outlet side of thecoal pulverizer 2 is fed back to thecontroller 23, so that flow rate regulation by the first and second flowrate regulating dampers primary air 35 is maintained to the set value. - The temperature of the
primary air 35 on the inlet side of thecoal pulverizer 2 is detected by thefirst temperature sensor 17 to conduct monitor for prevention of the temperature of theprimary air 35 fed to the coal pulverizer 2 from exceeding the spontaneous ignition temperature. If there is a possibility that the temperature of theprimary air 35 may exceed the spontaneous ignition temperature, then the degree of opening of the second flowrate regulating damper 14 is urgently increased to increase the flow rate of thebypass flow 35″ to thereby lower the temperature of theprimary air 35. - Thus, regardless of property of coal, the temperature of the
primary air 35 is properly set and the pulverized coal heated by theprimary air 35 is fed to the pulverized coal burners 4 for combustion, thereby obtaining stable ignition and combustion.
