Pulverized coal burners
With extensive expertise in designing energy equipment, Powerz designs and manufactures all types of coal burners with any thermal capacity.
Pulverized coal burners by Powerz comply with all relevant environmental standards and safety and cost-effectiveness requirements. Pulverized coal burners are stocked with ignition devices and sensors which selectively control the burner's torch.
Currently, two types of vane swirlers are used for twisting secondary air: axial and tangential. Depending on parameters determining the quality of coal such as ash, abrasiveness and reactivity, either axial vane or scroll swirlers are used in primary air passages.
Classification of pulverized coal burners: | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
straight flow vaned | vaned-
vaned scroll- vaned | double flow and
double swirl burners | ||
|
In burners of all three types, high-density pulverized coal is injected through pipes (76 or 89 mm in diameter) with splitters at the end. Central and peripheral air passages have axial swirlers. Natural or coke gas is injected into burners via gas tubes located in series between the adjacent air passages.
Projecting parts of burners influenced by high-temperature combustion gases and radiation are made of heat-resistant materials.
