Because of its convenient adjustment, lower cost and important effect on combustion, swirling burner of pulverized coal is always a hot topic for thermal engineering researchers.

They studied the effect of precessing jet momentum ratio and gun position on NOx emission, heat flux and ignition distance in detail. The results showed a positive influence of the us

Bollettini et al. operated a study on scaling of natural gas burners and integrated substantial experimental data from scaling 400 projects with CFD simulation in 2000. In 20

The temperature distribution of flameless combustion was different with conventional flame combustion and the NO

Gu et al. analyzed the relation among the NOx formation, gas flow and pulverized coal moving in a swirl

The authors found that the maximum particle penetration depth into the internal recirculation zone (IRZ) Ldav and effective time of IRZ eav lead to the minimum outlet NO emission.

Tenova also started in 2002 a research program, which led to a new family of low NOx burners named FlexyTechTSX based on the flameless technology which allows to reach a low NOx emission . Orfanoudakis et al. have

All the studies on the swirling burner mentioned above have mainly focused on the effects of air distribution, swirling intensity and retrofit structures on combustion and NOx emission.However, little study of novel flame ring and flaring effect on the swirling burner, which hav
24、e significant impact on flow and combustion, has been reported. In this paper, a novel burner spout with dual-gear rings (DGR) and double conical flaring (DCF) is proposed as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Cold air test and combustion experiment are carried out under different secondary air distributions,
25、swirling intensities and coal types. The flow characteristic, combustion performance and NOx emission are discussed. Comparing with a conventional one, the novel burner is proved to be helpful to obtain stable, efficient and clean combustion for pulverized coal.2. Novel burner modelThe proposed nove
26、l structures were installed on a radial dual register burner, which is geometric similarity with the ratio of 1:6 to the prototype, the dual register swirling burner of WGZ1246/18.-1 boiler made by Wuhan Boiler Group Co., Ltd. In China. DGR was set in the inner primary air pipe outlet in order to en
27、hance the turbulence and mixing of primary air and pulverized coal in the fuel-rich and oxygen-lean zone in Fig. 1. DCF was set on the outer primary air pipe, so as to induce outer primary air towards center recirculation zone and delay the mixing of secondary air and primary air as Fig. 2 shows. Th

30、haracteristic . According to the modeling principle , the air flow with more than 1.0105 of the critical Renolds number to second self-modeling zone was selected.A dimensionless coordinate is built with R and X in two directions for describing flow field position. R = r/d 3 , and X = x/d 3 , where r
31、 represents the radial distance off the central axis of the burner, x stands for the axial distance off the end of the burners jet, while d3 is the diameter of ISA duct.Two sets of measuring point arrays were introduced. A 631 array was set next to the burner spout in which the radial distance betwe
32、en two closed measuring points was D R = 0.1, while the axial distance was D X = 0.3. Meanwhile, a 529 array was set after in which D R = 0.2 and D X = 1.0. A 1050A type dual-channel hot wire anemometer with the range of 030 m/s and resolution of 0.01 m/s was used to measure velocity and turbulence instantaneously, while the direction of velocity was obtained by ribbon tracer method. The measurement error is 5% of indication or 0.025 m/s under the temperature range from 18 to 93.
