Abstract
A furnace/boiler incorporates a dual injection grid arrangement as per present disclosure. The furnace includes an enclosure having burners projecting through walls of the lower half of the enclosure. The burners inject and ignite a supply of fuel and primary air. The combustion reaction takes place in a combustion chamber. The enclosure walls carry steam generating tubes which absorb radiative heat from the combustion flame to produce steam. The heat is also utilized by radiative/convective super-heater and reheater elements where steam flowing through the radiative/convective super-heater and reheater elements is superheated by the hot gas products of the combustion process. The hot gas combustion products are referred to as the exhaust or flue gas. The combustion products exit the combustion chamber at boiler nose and enter in the boiler/furnace area. The present grid arrangement inject chemicals to control the creating reactants particularly NOx and SOemissions.
