Abstract

In this paper, the flow field characteristics of over fired air (OFA) for novel low NOx pulverized coal combustion technology are studied. The research was conducted with a 300 MWe tangential firing boiler that was adapted for this technology, and a three-dimensional particle-dynamics anemometer (PDA) was employed on the model to measure the characteristics of gas flow in the burnout area and gas/particle flows under the front panel superheater. The impact of a positive offset at 15°, counter offset at 15° and design case without an offset the OFA relative to the direction of the secondary air jet in the main combustion were considered. With different OFA offsets, the deflection characteristics, the velocity and root mean square (RMS) fluctuation velocity of OFA jet are obtained, as well as the gas/particle flows characteristics under the front panel superheater. The results show that, with a positive offset, an over-large tangential circle is formed, which produces slagging and temp-bias under the panel superheater. However, with a counter offset, the OFA is sent into the center of the chamber, and the particle is forced to the water wall. Compared with the other two conditions and combined with the counterflow of primary air, OFA without an offset for the jet contains a proper tangential circle, strong inflexibility and turbulence, which prevents slagging and burn out.
