Publication number: 20110139092Abstract: Provided is a reheat boiler in which the imbalance in temperature distribution of the temperature of the combustion gas at the outlet of a reheat furnace is reduced by changing the gas flow pattern in the reheat burner. A reheat boiler includes a main boiler configured such that main combustion gas generated in combustion in a burner flows from a furnace through a superheater and evaporator tubes, a reheat furnace that is disposed on the downstream of the evaporator tubes and produces reheat combustion gas by combustion in a reheat burner, and a reheater disposed above the reheat furnace. A closing plate, serving as a drift preventing portion, is provided at a reheat furnace outlet that connects the reheat furnace and the reheater to form a flow path for the combustion gas and the reheat combustion gas so as to narrow the cross-sectional area of the flow path for the combustion gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2009Publication date: June 16, 2011Inventors: Junji Imada, Isao Uchida, Syuji Sato, Hideo Fukuda

Publication number: 20100236501Abstract: A reheat boiler according to the present invention includes a main boiler configured to make combustion gas originating from combustion in a burner flow from a furnace (102) and pass through a super heater and an evaporation tube bank, a reheat furnace (108) including a reheat burner (107) provided downstream of the evaporation tube bank, and a reheater (109) provided on the upper side of the reheat furnace (108), and also includes a combustion air supply portion (12) that is provided at a position opposite to the reheat burner (107) in the reheat furnace (108) to supply a part of the combustion air as combustion air (11b). By making combustion gas (107a) and the combustion air (11b) collide head-on to facilitate mixing of the combustion gas (107a) with the combustion air (11b), the flow patterns of the combustion gas are changed, whereby temperature unevenness of the combustion gas (107a) at the outlet of the reheat furnace (108) is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2008Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Junji Imada, Isao Uchida

Publication number: 20100192876Abstract: A boiler according to the present invention is a boiler configured to make combustion gas originating from combustion in a burner (101) flow from a furnace (102) and pass through a super heater (SH) (104) and an evaporation tube bank (105). The boiler includes a downstream shield plate (11A) that is slidable in the vertical direction of the super heater (104) at a position downstream of the combustion gas flowing above the super heater (104), thereby regulating the flow rate of combustion gas entering the upper space A of the super heater (104). By regulating the flow rate of bypass gas (12) with the downstream shield plate (11A) and in turn regulating the flow rate of mainstream gas (13), the temperature of steam output from the super heater (104) is controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2008Publication date: August 5, 2010Applicant: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Junji Imada, Hidefumi Nagano
