ABSTRACT:
Fuel and a first portion of combustion air are introduced into the furnace (10) of a fossil fuel-fired steam generator in a first zone (30) remote from the gas outlet (14) of the furnace. A second portion of the combustion air, termed overfire air, is introduced into the furnace in a second zone (60) spaced from the first zone (30) intermediate the first zone and the gas outlet of the furnace. The outlet temperature of the superheat steam conveyed through the superheater surface (24) is regulated by selectively directing the overfire air introduced into the furnace towards the gas outlet of the furnace to increase the superheat steam outlet temperature and selectively directing the overfire air introduced into the furnace away from the gas outlet of the furnace to decrease the steam superheat outlet temperature.
Further, the formation of oxides of nitrogen during combustion of the fuel in the furnace is controlled by selectively proportioning the air between the first and second portion so as to introduce into the first zone a quantity of air less than the stoichiometric amount required for the fuel introduced thereto and so as to introduce into the second zone a quantity of air sufficient to substantially complete combustion of the fuel within the furnace.
