COMBUSTION
• Burning,
g, or Combustion,, is a special
p form of oxidation:
- Oxygen combines rapidly with certain types of fuels, such as coal, oil,
gas or wood, and substantial amounts of heat are liberated.
1) Preparing
P i ththe ffuell and
d air
i ;
2) Converting the complex fuel into elementary fuels;
3)) Bringing
g g these fuels and air together
g in the right
g propositions
p p and at the
proper temperature for ignition and combustion;
4) Transferring heat from the products of combustion to the boiler or other
surfaces while retaining enough heat in the combustion zone to
surfaces,
maintain volatilization and ignition.
All these actions occur at the same time in any furnace, and each particle
of fuel traces the entire sequence, in order, in its brief passage through the
furnace.

Combustion Air Distribution
The Combustion air, referred to as Secondary Air, is
provided from FD Fans. A portion of secondary air
called `Fuel Air', is admitted immediately around the
burners (annular space around the oil/gas burners) into
the furnace. The rest of the secondary air , called
'Auxiliary Air' , is admitted through the auxiliary air
nozzles and end air nozzlesnozzles. The quantity of
secondary air (fuel air + auxiliary air) is dictated by
boiler load and controlled by FD Fan inlet guide vane
regulation.

nozzles of the oil gun, the pressure energy of the

NOX FORMATION AND REDUCTION
• The swirling motion, which
g ,
creates an aerodynamics in
the entire belt of the array of
burners enabling the
burners enabling the
segregation of air and fuel
around the central vortex.
• This increase the residence
time and delay the
combustion process and
combustion process and
hence the NOx formation,
which is the inherent
advantage of tangential firing
