Swirlax coal-cum-oil burner

Swirlax burner installed at plant in Greece
Swirlax is a combined fuel burner for

rotary kilns. It can be used for firing
pulverised coal, gas, oil or combinations
of these fuels in any proportion. When
burning two or three fuels a minimum of
10% of any fuel is recommended.
The burner is suspended from a carriage
and designed so that the burner nozzle is
adjustable both vertically and horizontally.
The Swirlax combined fuel burner has
three annular cross-sections with the oil
or gas burner and its protective tube placed
in the centre. The coal is injected axially
through the intermediate annular crosssection.
The burner nozzle cross-section can easily be adjusted by means of eye bolts at
the rear of the burner.
Primary air is divided into two flows,

viz. an inner radial, swirling flow and an
outer, axial flow.
The distribution of primary air into radial and axial air flows is regulated by two
manually-operated dampers, each fitted
with a scale.
The possibility of varying the burner
nozzle settings as well as the ratio between
axial and radial primary air, makes the
flame shape fully adjustable. An increased
radial air volume at high injection rate
results in a short, wide flame, whereas an
increased axial flow gives a long, narrow
flame.
As the adjustment of the flame shape is
completely independent of the coal feed,
the amount of primary air can be kept
down to about 7%.
The primary air fan, however, is designed for 10% primary air and a total
pressure of Pt = 120-130 mbar to allow
for adverse operational conditions.
The air velocity in the burner nozzle can
be regulated in the range of 35 m/sec. to
120 m/sec.
With a coal/conveyance air ratio in the
range of 3.5-8 kg coal meal/M3 air, the
conveyance air plus primary air will account for only about 10% of the combustion air theoretically required.
The above illustration shows a Swirlax
coal-cum-oil burner. In the case of
coallgas or coal/oil/gas firing, the oil
burner is simply replaced by a gas burner
or a combined gas/oil burner.
