Abstract

Technical and ecological aspects of implementation of High Temperature Air Combustion to power station boilers fired with pulverized coal have been considered. Several boiler concepts have been examined in the context of the following three key points: existence of an intensive in-furnace recirculation, homogeneity of both the temperature and the chemical species fields, and uniformity of heat fluxes. CFD-based numerical simulations have been performed in order to determine the shape of the boiler and its dimensions, to optimize both the distance between burners and location of the burner block. It was concluded that HTAC technology could be a realizable, efficient and clean technology for pulverized coal fired boilers.
