The WR (Wind range tip) burner is equipped with a flame stabilizer and constricting elements within the combustion nozzle, which help to create a high concentration of coal dust, high temperatures, and high turbulence at the burner outlet. This allows the boiler to burn stably at low loads without the need for oil, while also effectively reducing the generation of NO2. It offers the advantages of stable combustion, reduced oil consumption, and less environmental pollution. The most distinctive feature of the PAX (Primary Air Exchange) burner is its simply structured built-in primary air exchange device (separator). B&W’s built-in air exchange device makes clever use of the centrifugal force generated by the flow of pulverized coal gas through the elbow connecting the primary air duct and the burner to achieve separation. After the primary air and coal powder stream enters the eccentric elbow duct before the burner, 90% of the coal powder is separated and flows forward with the rich coal powder stream, while the remaining 10% of the fine powder and 50% of the original primary air are drawn out through the inner exhaust duct and sent into the furnace via the exhaust air nozzles. At the same time, a stream of hot air is introduced into the separator, where it mixes with the coal powder airflow before entering the burner nozzle directly. The result of mixing raises the temperature of the gas and powder before entering the furnace to 175°C–200°C, and the air-to-powder ratio can also be adjusted depending on the amount of hot air introduced. Another feature of the PAX burner is the use of a dual swirl air regulator to adjust the swirl intensity of the secondary air, thereby controlling backflow and mixing. Both the inner and outer sections of the twin regulator are equipped with a set of axially adjustable vanes to regulate their respective swirl intensities. To ensure that the coal powder torch has sufficient stiffness to plunge to an appropriate depth in the lower furnace chamber, the swirl intensity in the outer zone is generally set to a low level; whereas to maintain sufficient high-temperature flue gas flowing back to the ignition zone in front of the burner to enhance ignition, the swirl intensity in the inner zone is set to a moderately high level. An appropriate combination of swirl rates in the inner and outer zones allows the PAX burner to operate at its optimal condition. This post was last edited by lyhh9024 on 2009-3-30 15:53.]
