Directions

1) Input Fuel characteristics 6) Once the barrel is complete, adjust the tip cross sectional areas
2) Input kiln production data Ultimate target is Is = 1.8 and Sw = 0.15, by adjusting the tip dimensions.
Change the tip cross sectional areas by adjusting the axial holes
3) Determine (goal seek) transport air flow rate : 5 kg/m3 for blower, 7 kg/m3 for pump diameter and the width of groove for the swirl.
- vary the transport flowrate - Nm3/h
- note that blowers cannot take the higher material density rate 7) Optimise static pressures at tip, tip cross sectional area and all other
constraints. Obtain the best balance for:
4) Obtain optimum or target flow rates values (swirl & axial) Target of Is = 1.8 and Sw = 0.15,.
For a first calculation, start with static pressures of 40.000 Pa for axial, and Optimum flow rates
25.000 Pa for swirl - 10% primary air; 7% axial + transport (in case that no swirl
is used). Use solver, changing the groove width, the axial holes diameters, the axial and 8) Confirm choice of fan or blower for swirl air based on static
the swirl static pressures. Add constraints on the axial pressure (35.000-60.000 Pa), pressure in the tip - choice effects bias coefficient
and to the swirl pressure (>18.000 Pa if fan, 20.000-30.000 Pa if blower).
9) Determine range for blowers: maximum for (Is,Sw)=(1.8,0.15), and
Note the optimum flow rates as well as cross section areas (mm2) minimum for (0.9,0.05). Check that , doing this, we stay in the range
Ultimate target is Is = 1.8 and Sw = 0.15. of 7 to 12% primary air.

5) Dimension the barrel:


What is the free diameter required in the centre? Depends on how many fuels
the plant wants to burn simultaneously: waste, oil, etc…
In theory, min. of 200 mm (8 in.) is needed for the bluff body effect although
6 in. has been used.
Use standard pipes (see table). The outer diameter of this first pipe is the inside
diameter for the swirl air channel. Continue to build, using the criteria below:

1) Swirl: Velocity in barrel: 15 to 25 m/s


Swirler angle = 30 - 40°; common to use 35° Transport design: drawing instructions
18 to 22 vanes (or slots), 8 mm depth minimum Maximum angle of inlet = 12.5 degree with the burner axis
No straight stream through the swirler = long enough Enter from the top (better distribution)
2) Transport: Velocity in tip and barrel: 25 to 35 m/s Inlet rectangle: Internal width should be equal to internal
radial gap of annulus > or = to 10 mm (concentricity, plugging) diameter of outer pipe of the fuel annulus. The velocity
A slight reduction of the cross section area is being done at the tip, for should never decrease from the fuel intoduction into the line
a better fuel distribution around the annulus (automatic) to the burner tip. (Settlement)
3) Axial: Velocity in barrel = 15 to 25 m/s (trade-off weight of burner pipe versus
pressure drop). Target 20 holes, generally 16 to 24
Diameter of holes >or = to 12 mm
