A method for controlling combustion in a furnace into which combustible material, e.g., urban refuse, industrial waste, and a controlled quantity of combustion air are fed. The furnace includes a mixing/stirring region where unburnt gas and secondary combustion air are mixed and stirred. A part of exhaust gas derived from the furnace is blown into the mixing/stirring region depending on variation in the quantity of the secondary combustion air, and a flow rate of mixture gas consists of the exhaust gas and the secondary combustion air to be fed into the mixing/stirring region is maintained within a predetermined region so that effective combustion takes place.
In a method of controlling combustion in a fluidized bed type furnace having a combustion chamber, the lower portion of the combustion chamber being a mixing/stirring region in which unburnt gas and secondary combustion air are mixed and stirred together, said furnace being supplied with a quantity of combustible material varying per unit time and a quantity of combustion air which is controlled in response to the quantity of the combustible material, the improvement wherein a flow rate of mixture gas comprising secondary combustion air and exhaust gas to be fed into the mixing/stirring region is maintained within a predetermined range by blowing a part of exhaust gas into the mixing/stirring region depending on variation in said quantity of combustion air.
