New Fuel Research Reported from China Jiliang University

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Energy Weekly News -- Research findings on Fuel Research are discussed in a new report. According to news originating from Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, "This paper deals with an experimental investigation on the performance of a novel pulverized coal burner, featuring the introduction of an outer secondary without swirling, as applied to an industrial boiler. Bath cold air and combustion tests were conducted to investigate the effects of the secondary air on flow, combustion; and NOx emission from this novel burner."

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from China Jiliang University, "The measured flow fields, temperature distributions, and gas concentrations were presented. It was shown that, due to the presence of the outer secondary air, slagging in the adiabatic combustion chamber could be avoided and a NOx emission level of 600 mg/Nm(3) was realized."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "In addition, the operating efficiency of the boiler was found to be greater than 89.50%, which was higher than that of the conventional industrial boilers."
