Tornado Technology for Power Boilers

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The Tornado low-temperature vortex combustion technology substantiated by many years of scientific and industrial research is considered. More than 200 industrial boilers produced by the ProEnergoMash company allowed a rapid and steady advance toward the substantiation and improvement of the technology to increase the efficiency and environmental performance of thermal power plants and boiler houses with simple control of boilers with a modular burner. The technology minimizes the formation of on-pipe deposits, according to the mechanism of their formation disclosed in studies. The combustion process is efficient in terms of ecology, since it ensures reliable retention of particles in the vortex, staged blow, and exhaust gas afterburning. The high loading of the furnace with fuel and ash particles ensures isothermal conditions at a lower temperature inside the furnace. Various types of Tornado furnaces have been developed, which are suitable for both the creation of new boilers and the upgrade of existing boilers. They use vortices with a horizontal or vertical axis. There are also radial furnaces with one- and two outlets and twin double furnaces with various types of afterburners.
