Pressure feedback signal to optimise combustion air control
InactiveUS6332408B2Fuel supply regulationCombustion regulation systemsFurnace temperatureRate change
A novel method of combustion air control for multiple burner furnaces, whereas a pressure transducer is located in the air piping downstream of each zone air flow control device. The pressure transducer sends a feedback signal to a pressure control loop that is in a logical cascade from the furnace temperature control loop. The pressure control loop repositions the air flow control device to compensate for changes in both downstream and upstream conditions. Output from the temperature control loop is interpreted by the pressure control loop as a changing remote set-point value. In one embodiment, the system is ideally suited to compensate for the pressure drop changes that occur across a zone air flow control valve, when flow rate changes occur as burners are started or stopped, thus providing a substantially higher turndown ratio and better control at low fire settings.

The method comprises the following steps: the operation of a powder preparation system is optimized and adjusted; the operation of a combustion system is optimized and adjusted; the operation of a denitration system is optimized and adjusted; the coal-fired boiler NOx emission control and the SCR denitration system ammonia escape control are coupled for optimization and adjustment; an optimal operation oxygen quantity range of a coal-fired boiler under different loads and an optimal openness range of a burnt wind nozzle in the optimal oxygen quantity operation range are determined by combining the reductive atmosphere distribution characteristics in a near wall area of a hearth water cooling wall and the denitration ammonia escape conditions; and an optimal denitration efficiency range of the denitration system under different loads is determined. The three system operation collaborative optimization methods, provided by the invention, see the boiler system and the denitration system as a large system; the mutual correlation and influence among the three systems are decoupled from the angle of the large system; and the most economical and safest operation mode of the large system is obtained through optimization.

Flow rate sensor, flow meter, and discharge rate control apparatus for liquid discharge machines
InactiveUS6647777B1Accurately measure flow rate of fluid flowingAccurate flowBurnersLiquid fuel feeder/distributionLine tubingEngineering
A pipe line for fluid to be detected is formed so that heat from a flow rate detector in which a thin-film heating element and a thin-film temperature sensing element are laminated on a first surface of a substrate through an insulating layer is transferred to and absorbed by the fluid. In the flow rate detector, the temperature sensing which is affected by the heat absorption of the fluid due to the heating of the thin-film heating element is executed by the thin-film temperature sensing element, and the flow rate of the fluid in the pipe line is detected on the basis of the temperature sensing result. A fin plate extending into the pipe line is joined to a second surface of the substrate of the flow rate detector by a joint member, and the fin plate extends so as to pass through the central portion on the circular section of the pipe line. The dimension of the fin plate in the direction of the pipe line is larger than the dimension L2 of the thickness. Accordingly, even when the fluid is viscous fluid having relatively high viscosity, and further even when the flow rate is relatively small or under a broad environmental temperature condition, the flow rate of the fluid-flowing in the pipe line can be accurately measured.

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a gas turbine plant which is supplied with a fuel gas via a compressor station. The compressor station includes a compressor which compresses the fuel gas which is fed via a gas feed line and delivers it via at least one control valve to a combustion chamber of the gas turbine plant. A bypass system is arranged in parallel to the compressor via which fuel gas can be directed in a switchable manner past the compressor to the at least one control valve. An energy-saving operation can be achieved in a simple manner by continuously measuring the fuel gas pressure at the outlet of the at least one control valve. A minimum fuel gas pressure, which is desired (e.g., necessary) for operation of the gas turbine, at the inlet of the at least one control valve is determined from the measured pressure values in each case. The compressor station can be switched over to bypass operation when the fuel gas pressure which reaches the inlet of the at least one control valve via the bypass system is greater than or equal to the minimum fuel gas pressure.

A system and method for providing a gas-fired heating system with improved thermal efficiency includes modulating a quantity of combustion air flow to a combustion mixture in response to a measured change in fuel-gas pressure using a DC (e.g., brushless) motor to drive a combustion air blower. A pressure transducer in a manifold transporting fuel-gas into the combustion mixture outputs a signal proportional to the measured pressure to the motor. The motor speed and thus the resultant quantity of combustion air flow are modulated in proportion to the quantity of fuel-gas to the mixture. Accordingly, a constant fuel-gas to combustion air ratio is maintained. The system and method may further provide for adjusting the output signal to accommodate measured intake air temperature, and / or measured atmospheric pressure in order to maintain a constant, good thermal efficiency (preferably ≦80%) regardless of air temperature and altitude at the system's installation location.
