Abstract: A pulverized fuel combustion burner includes a pulverized fuel and air mixture conduit. A pulverized fuel rich/lean separator is disposed at the axial center of the conduit so that a high concentration mixture is formed at an outer peripheral portion of the conduit and a low concentration mixture is formed at a central portion of the conduit. The pulverized fuel rich/lean separator has a cross-sectional shape which gradually enlarges in the flow direction at an angle to the flow direction. It becomes parallel to the flow direction downstream of the enlarging portion, and terminates in a flat surface that is perpendicular to the axis of the separator. A passage extends through the pulverized fuel rich/lean separator along the axis.

Abstract: A burner for combustion of a pulverized coal mixture having two kinds of rich and lean concentration has a height of a burner panel reduced and the overall burner simplified. A rich/lean separator (10, 20, 30) is provided within a pulverized coal conduit (2) so that a high concentration mixture is formed in an outer peripheral portion and a low concentration mixture is formed in a central portion within a single pulverized coal conduit. Thus, a rich mixture burner and a lean mixture burner, which have been conventionally provided separately, may be formed into a single burner. Recirculation of air is accelerated by a cutaway slit (20d, 30d) provided in a central portion of the rich/lean separator to make the air flow rate distribution uniform in a pulverized coal nozzle. Also, a duct and an air blow box for the combustion air to be supplied to the pulverized coal flame are not integrally formed continuous in the height direction, but are divided into a plurality of discontinuous units.
