Abstract
This study proposes a low NOx combustion method for Foster Wheeler type down-fired boilers. The effectiveness of this technique was validated through laboratory-scale gas-particle two-phase experiments and industrial trials. The flow field characteristics within FW-type boiler furnaces equipped with arch-supplied secondary air injection nozzles were investigated. Furthermore, the application of this technique to a 660 MW subcritical FW-type boiler was examined, focusing on NOx emissions and combustion characteristics. Results demonstrate that optimizing the damper openings for F-layer and arch-supplied secondary air can significantly reduce NOx emissions by over 33 %. Additionally, increasing the mass flow rate of arch-supplied secondary air aids in reducing unburned carbon in fly ash and inducing a downward shift in the flame center within the furnace.
