Turbu-Flex - Impact of axial air hole arrangement on secondary air entrainment
?
• ½ the number of holes• Same axial hole area (mm²)• Same high momentum
• Group holes – Large gaps• Same axial hole area (mm²)• Same high momentum

Turbu-FlexTM BurnerImpact on flame radiation for coal and RDF
Standard Mode
With 50% RDF there is a reduction in flame radiation close to the burner
Standard Mode
AF Boost Mode
With AF Boost mode there is significant recovery in flame radiation close to the burner
Turbu-FlexTM BurnerSummary of Benefits
Standard ModeAF Boost Mode
• High AF substitution• Low fuel consumption
One Burner – Two Modes
• Good heat flux/radiation profile for coal and petcoke
• Low NOx
Flexibility to switch

• 100% PJ gives a very wide flame with distinct
volumes of gas mixing very slowly with air in the
near field.
• 85% PJ gives a narrower flame still with distinct
volumes of gas mixing slowly with air in the near
field.
• 70% PJ gives a much narrower flame with
predominantly a continuous jet of gas mixing more
vigorously in the near field.
• 0-30% CBJ

to control
