Abstract
Abstract Industrial experiments have been performed on a down-fired pulverized-coal 300 MWe utility boiler with vent air valve opening of 100% and 40%. The gas temperature distribution along the primary air and coal mixture flow, gas temperature distribution in the furnace, and gas components such as O2, CO, CO2 and NOx in the near-wall region were measured for the first time. The influence of vent air valve opening on coal combustion in the furnace was determined. The results indicate that ignition of the primary air and pulverized-coal mixture is delayed. The position of the gas temperature peak is above the arches. Emission of NOx is up to 2101 mg/m3 (at 6% O2 dry) with vent valve opening of 40%.
