ABSTRACT:
A low-nox burner for use in industrial furnaces and/or boilers which burn pulverized coal. The burner includes a burner tip which divides an annular pulverized coal stream into alternating fuel-rich and fuel-lean streams. The tip includes a plurality of alternating main and secondary blade members which are skewed to produce rotational movement in the streams. The main blade has a leading edge that is aligned with a radial vector extending through a center axis of the burner and a trailing edge that is tilted with respect to the radial vector in order to define a substantially planar surface between the leading and trailing edges. The secondary blade includes leading and trailing edges that are both aligned with radial vectors and defines a twisted surfaces between the edges. The secondary blade is skewed with respect to the longitudinal direction by an angle that is substantially greater than the angle at which the main blade is skewed. As a result, channels having converging cross sections are defined between the main blade and one adjacent secondary blade, and diverging channels are defined by the main blade and another adjacent secondary blade. During operation, the tip creates a fuel-rich zone surrounded by a fuel-lean zone in the combustion region.
