Abstract

In this study, several conditions in a 9 MW heavy fuel-oil boiler were numerically studied in order to get a better understanding of the application of HiTAC in such a boiler. Simulations were done with an Euler- Lagrange approach. The Eddy Dissipation model was used for combustion. Simulation results showed that by recycling various ratios of flue gas into the primary and secondary air, a more uniform temperature distribution can be achieved. Besides, thermal NOX can be reduced to a lower level. Radiation from soot has shown to have a considerable influence on the predicted temperature profiles. It can reduce the peak temperature by 140 K in the case with hot combustion air.
