  • Patent number: 11428402
    Abstract: A cement kiln burner device includes a powdered-solid-fuel flow channel, a first air flow channel placed inside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel to be adjacent to the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel, having means for swirling an air flow, an outer air flow-channel group placed concentrically in an outermost side outside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel, having three or more second air flow channels adapted to form means for straightly forwarding an air flow, and a combustible-solid-waste flow channel placed inside the first air flow channel. The second air flow channels are placed proximally to each other in a radial direction within a range where air flows ejected from the respective second air flow channels are merged to form a single air flow, and are configured to control flow rates of the air flow ejected from the respective second air flow channels, independently for each second air flow channel.

  • Patent number: 11306915
    Abstract: A cement kiln burner device includes a powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling a powdered-solid-fuel flow; a first air flow channel placed inside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel to be adjacent to the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling an air flow; a second air flow channel placed in an outermost side outside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for straightly forwarding an air flow; and a combustible-solid-waste flow channel placed inside the first air flow channel. The second air flow channel is divided in a circumferential direction into four or more opening portions adapted to form ports for injecting air flows, and is configured to control flow rates of the air flows ejected from the opening portions, independently for each opening portion.

  • Patent number: 11112111
    Abstract: A cement kiln burner device includes a powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling a powdered-solid-fuel flow; a first air flow channel placed outside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling an air flow; a second air flow channel placed outside the first air flow channel having means for straightly forwarding an air flow; a third air flow channel placed inside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling an air flow; and a combustible-solid-waste flow channel placed inside the third air flow channel. The second air flow channel includes an opening portion forming a port for injecting an air flow, and a closed portion covered for preventing an air flow from passing therethrough. The opening portion and the closed portion are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction.
