Description

燃气点火煤粉燃烧器 Gas ignition pulverized coal burner

技术领域 technical field

本实用新型涉及一种煤粉燃烧器,尤其是一种燃气点火煤粉燃烧器。The utility model relates to a pulverized coal burner, in particular to a pulverized coal burner for gas ignition.

背景技术 Background technique

目前,火电厂工程实际中的煤粉燃烧器多采用燃油点燃的方式。图1是当前应用较广的微油点火煤粉燃烧器的结构示意图。其燃油燃烧室1是直接垂直插入一级燃烧室2中,运行中会导致一级燃烧室2下壁面温度高,同时由于高速油火焰的冲刷,煤粉颗粒在流动中受阻,易造成底部积粉,进而导致结焦,所以此处的点火能量不能太大,往往需要在一级燃烧室出口处加装较大的辅助油枪,来辅助完成进一步的燃烧,但即使这样也不能完全解决这个缺陷。为此,人们试图通过在燃烧器上下两侧对称设置两个油点火器的方式,来消除点火器设置不对称所存在的缺陷。但是采用这种对称设置后,一级燃烧室水平方向两侧仍然聚积了较高浓度的煤粉,大量煤粉并未进入高温气流核心,造成煤粉总体析出的挥发份数量减少,并给煤粉的后续燃烧带来不利影响。At present, most of the pulverized coal burners in thermal power plant projects are ignited by fuel oil. Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a micro-oil ignition pulverized coal burner which is widely used at present. The fuel oil combustion chamber 1 is directly inserted into the primary combustion chamber 2 vertically. During operation, the temperature of the lower wall of the primary combustion chamber 2 will be high. At the same time, due to the scouring of the high-speed oil flame, the pulverized coal particles are blocked in the flow, which is easy to cause bottom accumulation. powder, which will lead to coking, so the ignition energy here should not be too large. It is often necessary to install a larger auxiliary oil gun at the outlet of the primary combustion chamber to assist in further combustion, but even this cannot completely solve this defect . For this reason, people try to eliminate the defects of asymmetric arrangement of igniters by arranging two oil igniters symmetrically on the upper and lower sides of the burner. However, after adopting this symmetrical arrangement, a relatively high concentration of pulverized coal still accumulates on both sides of the primary combustion chamber in the horizontal direction, and a large amount of pulverized coal does not enter the core of the high-temperature air flow, resulting in a decrease in the amount of volatile components precipitated from the pulverized coal and causing a Subsequent combustion of the powder has adverse effects.

更为重要的是,这种燃油点火煤粉燃烧器在工作时会消耗大量燃油。据统计,125MW机组锅炉启动一次需要耗油15吨,200MW机组启动一次需要耗油50吨,而一台600MW机组锅炉点火和助燃的燃料油超过300吨。相对于我国石油资源的匮乏,这样的高资源消耗存在诸多问题,并且随着我国城市规模的不断扩大,原本位于市郊的一些火电厂现已逐渐被城市包围,出于环保和安全要求,这些电厂不宜燃烧燃油产生大量有害气体和保留大型的储油罐。由于液化气和天然气等气体燃料在我国城市普及率较高,所以这些在市区及其周边的火力发电厂不受气体燃料保存条件和输送条件的限制,并且相对燃油来说采用气体燃料燃烧点火有着更经济,更环保,更安全等优点,因此在该类型电厂中推广气体燃料燃烧点火技术具有现实意义。What's more, this fuel-fired pulverized coal burner consumes a lot of fuel when it works. According to statistics, the boiler of a 125MW unit consumes 15 tons of oil for one start-up, 50 tons of fuel for a start-up of a 200MW unit, and more than 300 tons of fuel oil for ignition and combustion of a 600MW unit boiler. Compared with the lack of oil resources in our country, there are many problems in such high resource consumption, and with the continuous expansion of cities in our country, some thermal power plants that were originally located in the suburbs are now gradually surrounded by cities. Due to environmental protection and safety requirements, these power plants It is not advisable to burn fuel oil to produce a large amount of harmful gas and keep large oil storage tanks. Due to the high penetration rate of gaseous fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas in cities in my country, these thermal power plants in urban areas and their surrounding areas are not limited by the storage conditions and transportation conditions of gaseous fuels, and gaseous fuels are used to burn and ignite gaseous fuels. It has the advantages of being more economical, more environmentally friendly, and safer, so it is of practical significance to promote gas fuel combustion ignition technology in this type of power plant.

The concentration structure 7 is provided with a flame-stabilizing structure 11 whose inner diameter gradually decreases on the inner wall of the third-stage combustion chamber 4 . Two gas igniters 12 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the primary combustion chamber 2, and each gas igniter 12 is composed of an ejector 6 and an ignition chamber 5, and a gas guide is provided at the junction of the ejector 6 and the ignition chamber 5. The plate 61 and the gas guiding plate 61 are flat plate structures uniformly distributed with through holes 611, through which the gas can be evenly introduced into the ignition chamber 5, so as to reduce the scour force of the flame when the gas burns. Each ignition chamber 5 is fixedly installed on the same section of the primary combustion chamber 2, and each ignition chamber 5 is not only inclined to one side of the primary combustion chamber 2, but also to the upstream direction of the primary combustion chamber 2. tilt.

工作时,一次风粉混合物进入壳体1(一次风管)后,经过煤粉浓缩装置7浓缩,形成中间浓四周淡的煤粉气流,浓的煤粉气流进入一级燃烧室2,淡的煤粉气流从一级燃烧室2外的环形风道依次进入二、三级燃烧室3、4,一方面实现分级燃烧,另一方面在各级燃烧室内壁形成冷却气膜保护燃烧室壁面。高压燃气通以较高速度进入燃气点火器12,同时卷吸周围空气,在引射器6内进行速度和浓度的混合。在充分混合均匀的情况下,混合气体通过导气板61均匀导入点火室5内。经点火后混合气体快速燃烧,燃烧产生的高温气体、火焰沿斜向导入一级燃烧室2,并在一级燃烧室2内相互配合形成斜旋的高温气流。斜旋的高温气流中间形成气隙,使高浓度的煤粉气流无阻地进入高温气流(火核),并与高温气流充分混合,从而使煤粉颗粒快速热解、燃烧。一级燃烧室2的燃烧产物及可燃物再依次进入二、三级燃烧室,实现能量逐级放大的分级燃烧。最后燃烧中的煤粉气流从壳体1(一次风管)的喷口进入炉膛,实现炉内燃烧。During operation, after the primary air-powder mixture enters the housing 1 (primary air duct), it is concentrated by the pulverized coal concentration device 7 to form a pulverized coal airflow that is thick in the middle and light around.
