  • Publication number: 20200072466
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gas turbine combustor which reduces NOx emissions for a hydrogen-containing fuel, is improved in reliability and realizes stable operation. The gas turbine combustor of the present invention includes a combustion chamber which burns a fuel and air, an air hole plate which is located on an upstream side of the combustion chamber and has air holes which are concentrically arranged plurally in line and plurally in number, and fuel nozzles which are arranged plurally in line and plurally in number, and a fuel nozzle inner wall has a fuel nozzle tapered shape which extends in an outer circumferential direction on a leading end part of the fuel nozzle.

  • Patent number: 8961170
    Abstract: A pulverized coal thermal power generation system that significantly reduces the amount of NOx emissions from a boiler and does not require a denitration unit is provided. When a denitration unit is not used, performance to remove mercury from a boiler waste gas is reduced. A waste gas purification system for a pulverized coal boiler, that compensates for this is provided. A pulverized coal boiler having a furnace for burning pulverized coal, burners for supplying pulverized coal and air used for combustion into the furnace so as to burn the pulverized coal in an insufficient air state and after-air ports provided on the downstream side of the burners for supplying air used for perfect combustion characterized in that, an air ratio in the furnace is 1.05 to 1.14, and the residence time of a combustion gas from the burner disposed on the uppermost stage to a main after-air port is 1.1 to 3.3 seconds.

  • Publication number: 20130255547
    Abstract: A pulverized coal-fired boiler efficiently supplies air to a central part of a furnace and the neighborhood of a furnace wall, thereby promoting mixture with combustion gas, and reducing both NOx and CO. The main after air ports are structured so as to jet air having a large momentum for enabling arrival at the central part of the furnace, and the sub-after air ports are structured so as to jet air having a small momentum to the neighborhood of the wall face of the furnace, and a sectional center of each of the sub-after air ports is within a range from 1 to 5 times of a caliber of the main after air ports from a sectional center of each of the main after air ports.

  • Patent number: 7878130
    Abstract: A overfiring air port of the present invention is to supply an incomplete combustion region with air making up for combustion-shortage, in a furnace in which the incomplete combustion region less than stoichiometric ratio is formed by a burner. Furthermore, the airport is characterized by comprising: a nozzle mechanism for injecting air including an axial velocity component of an air flow and a radial velocity component directed to a center line of the airport; and a control mechanism for controlling a ratio of these velocity components.
