A nozzle tip for a pulverized solid fuel pipe nozzle of a pulverized solid fuel-fired furnace is provided. The nozzle tip includes a primary shroud having an inlet end and an outlet end, and an outlet at the outlet end for the passage of a pulverized solid fuel into the furnace. An area of the outlet is selectively adjustable to vary an exit velocity of the pulverized solid fuel from the nozzle tip.

A combustion system with a combustion area in a boiler including a fuel pipe for delivering fuel is disclosed. A duct having a bend extended there through is in fluid communication with the fuel pipe and the combustion area of the boiler. The duct has an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter. The duct includes a first partition plate to form a first parallel flow of the fuel between the outer perimeter and the first partition plate, upstream of the bend.

A burner for a rotary kiln comprising an elongated tubular body (6) having a longitudinal axis (L) and a discharge end (7) adjacent a combustion zone comprising a flame, at least one fuel supply pipe for transporting and ejecting fuel through a fuel pipe outlet (10) at the discharge end (7), the fuel being alternative fuel or a mixture of alternative fuel and fossil fuel, and at the discharge end (7), a number of high speed primary air jet outlets for ejecting primary air and being arranged, when seen towards the discharge end, along a closed line, such as a circle, outwardly of the fuel outlet (10) and surrounding the fuel outlet,
wherein at least one of the primary air outlets and preferably a number of the primary air outlets comprise a single orifice outlet or a multiple orifice outlet forming a flat jet air outlet (11) having a major axis and a minor axis and being configured to eject a flat jet air stream (13) having a flat fan pattern with a predetermined fan angle v.

A solid fuel burner is provided with a guide member arranged on an outer circumferential section of a distal end of a first gas nozzle so as to guide a fluid flowing through a second flow passage outward in a radial direction; and a contraction forming member that is arranged on an upstream side of the guide member with respect to the flow direction of the second flow passage so as to reduce the cross sectional area of the second flow passage. An outer diameter of the guide member is formed to be smaller than an inner diameter of an outer peripheral wall of a second gas nozzle. The first gas nozzle, the guide member, and the contraction forming member are configured so as to be integrally attachable/detachable along an axial direction of the first gas nozzle toward the outside of a furnace.

A combustion system for a coal fired furnace having a windbox includes a source of a mixture of pulverized coal and air, and a splitter that receives the mixture and splits it into first and second mixed streams. A first nozzle receives the first mixed stream and discharges it into the furnace. A separator receives the second mixed stream and separates it into an air stream and a coal rich stream. An air conduit connected between the separator and the source of the mixture causes at least some of the air stream to be fed back into the mixture. A second nozzle receives the coal rich stream and discharges it into the furnace. A third nozzle receives support air from the windbox and discharges it into the furnace in a combustion supporting relationship with respect to the coal rich stream.

A combustion burner includes a fuel nozzle configured to blow in fuel gas of solid fuel and air, a combustion air nozzle configured to blow in air from the outside of the fuel nozzle, and at least one flame stabilizer arranged on the axial center side at a distal end of the fuel nozzle. The flame stabilizer is arranged at the distal end, and has a flame stabilizing member whose width increases in a direction toward the distal end, and a straightening vane having a plate shape and being arranged on an extension of the flame stabilizing member on the upstream side in a flow direction of the fuel gas. An abrasion-resistant member is arranged on a wide width surface of the flame stabilizer, and an abrasion-resistant member is arranged on at least a part of the straightening vane.

A solid fuel burner is provided with a nozzle that is provided around the central axis of the burner, that includes a straight tube section having an opening opposed to a furnace, and a curved tube section continuous with the straight tube section, and that sprays out, from the opening to the furnace, a fluid mixture which is of a solid fuel and carrier gas of the solid fuel and which is flowing in the curved tube section; a first swirler that gives the fluid mixture a swirl at the burner central axis side of the straight tube section; and a second swirler that gives, at the burner central axis side downstream of the first swirler, the fluid mixture a swirl opposite to that given by the first swirler.

A combustion burner includes a plurality of splitters (5), (6), (7) configured to divide a fuel gas flow by a widened portion where a width of the widened portion increases as the widened portion extends in the direction of the fuel gas flow. The splitters include: slitted splitters (5), (6) configured to slits (SL) at a downstream end in the fuel gas flow; and non-slitted splitters (7) configured to adjacently to the slitted splitters (5), (6), each of the non-slitted splitters (7) configured to the widened portion at a downstream end in the fuel gas flow, and configured to a fixed width in a direction of the longitudinal axis.
