Thermophysical and environmental assessment of natural gas utilization in the reconstruction of a pulverized coal-fired boiler. Bulletin of the Tomsk Polytechnic University. Geo Аssets Engineering, 2023, vol. 334, no. 8, рр. 30-38 In Rus. The relevance of the investigation is caused by the need to assess the completeness of fuel combustion, harmful emissions, and temperature stress of the screen surfaces of a pulverized coal-fired boiler during its reconstruction for natural gas combustion. Currently, the conversion of solid fuel combustion installations to natural gas is highly relevant due to significantly lower emissions of carbon compounds. The main aim of this research is to study the physicochemical processes in the combustion chamber at various loads with flammable natural gas combustion and evaluate the effectiveness of combustion organization during the reconstruction of a pulverized coal-fired boiler. Objects: combustion chamber of a boiler unit with a steam capacity of 210 t/h, burners, parameters of the combustion chamber environment Methods: comparison of results obtained from analytical thermal calculations and numerical modeling. The numerical simulation of gas flare combustion was performed using the ANSYS Fluent software package. Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes approaches based on averaging the Navier–Stokes equations over the Reynolds number with additional equations for the turbulent kinetic energy k and the rate of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation ε were applied to describe the turbulent flow. Results. A numerical study of the physicochemical processes in the combustion chamber of a boiler unit was conducted after its reconstruction for natural gas combustion. Dependencies of temperature level changes, hydrodynamics, and concentrations of combustion products components in the volume of the combustion chamber at various loads were obtained. It was found that high-temperature combustion products are redistributed towards the front and rear walls, resulting in the formation of zones in the wall layer with a significant temperature gradient. The nozzles of the tertiary air contribute to the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions in the combustion chamber by suppressing their formation due to oxygen deficiency in the combustion zone, as well as by lowering the temperature of the flame in the oxidizing zone. |
