Abstract
A boiler has a combustion chamber formed by front and rear walls and a side wall extending between the front and rear walls. Plural stages of burners are placed on at least one of the front and rear walls. In the front and rear walls are opposing gas jets for making a pressure of the gas near the side wall within the combustion chamber higher than the pressure of the gas at a center portion of the combustion chamber. The gas jet ports are disposed at a height within a range of the height of the burner stages. The burner stages supply the pulverized coal, the air for transferring the pulverized coal and the air for burning. A part of the air for transferring the pulverized coal or the air for burning is supplied in a branched manner to the gas jet port and injected into the combustion chamber. Further, the air is preferably injected from the gas jet ports in a direct gas flow, not a swirling flow.
