Solid Fuel Burner

Abstract

The present invention provides a solid fuel burner which ensures ignition performance and flame holding performance of a fuel nozzle. The present invention provides a solid fuel burner which achieves cost reduction by simplifying the structure of the fuel nozzle, for example, and which ensures the ignition performance and flame holding performance of the fuel nozzle. Further, the present invention provides a burner which enables stable combustion by both solid fuel and oil combustion with the suppression of soot and dust and mist generated during the oil start-up envisaged. The solid fuel burner of the present invention includes: a fuel nozzle straight tube portion allowing a mixing gas of a solid fuel and its carrier gas to flow therethrough; a fuel nozzle throttling portion narrowing a flow passage of the mixing gas passed through the fuel nozzle straight tube portion; a fuel nozzle diffusion portion horizontally expanding the flow passage of the mixing gas passed through the fuel nozzle throttling portion; a fuel nozzle outlet portion connected to the fuel nozzle diffusion portion and having an outlet flattened in shape; a ring-shaped outer peripheral flame stabilizer disposed on an outer periphery of the fuel nozzle outlet portion; and an inner flame stabilizer disposed in the fuel nozzle outlet portion and horizontally dividing the mixing gas passed through the fuel nozzle diffusion portion.
