6. A cyclone burner is a furnace in which finely ground fuel, in the form
of low-grade, pulverized coal, is blown in spirals in the combustion
chamber to maximize combustion efficiency.
They were first introduced by Babcock & Wilcox in 1942 as a
means of utilizing coal grades that weren't suitable for
conventional furnaces.
During coal combustion in a furnace, volatile components burn
without much difficulty.
Cyclone furnaces are able to provide a thorough mixing of coal
particles and air with sufficient turbulence to provide fresh air to
surfaces of the coal particles.
9. Facets of the technolgy
• Lower fuel preparation time and costs
• Smaller more compact furnaces
• Less fly ash and convective pass slagging
• Flexibility in fuel types
