Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method widely adopted to control NOx in combustion system. The recirculated flue gas decreases flame temperature and reaction rate, resulting in the decrease in thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the recirculated flue gas in fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), could enhance a much improved reduction in NOx per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to the conventional FGR in air. In the present study, the effect of FGR/FIR methods on NOx reduction in turbulent swirl flames by using N$_2$ and CO$_2$ as diluent gases to simulate flue gases. Results show that CO$_2$ dilution is more effective in NO reduction because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat of CO$_2$ compared to N$_2$ and FIR is more effective to reduce NO emission than FGR when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas is used.

Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is a method used to control oxides of nitrogen ($NO_x$) in combustion system. The recirculated flue gases resulted in slow reaction and low flame temperatures, which in turn resulted in decreased thermal NO production. Recently, it has been demonstrated that introducing the recirculated flue gas in the fuel stream, that is, the fuel induced recirculation (FIR), resulted in a much greater reduction in $NO_x$ per unit mass of recirculated gas, as compared to introducing the flue gases in air. In the present study, the effect on $NO_x$ reduction in turbulent swirl flame in laboratory scale using FGR/FIR methods through the dilution using $N_2$ and $CO_2$. Results. show the $CO_2$ dilution is more effective $NO_x$ reduction methods because of large temperature drop due to the larger specific heat $CO_2$ compared to $N_2$. FIR is more effective to reduce $NO_x$ emission than FGR when the same recirculation ratio of dilution gas.

저공해 연소를 위한 방법 중 하나인 배기가스 재순환(flue gas recirculation, 이하 FGR)은 질소산화물 저감에 효과적인 연소 기법이다. 이를 메탄/공기 대향류 예혼합화염에 적용하여 화염의 특성변화와 NOx 생성 기구를 파악하기 위한 수치해석을 진행하였다. 신장률에 따라 배출되는 생성물들의 몰분율이 달라진다는 점을 고려하여 재순환율은 생성물을 기준으로 정의되었으며, 실제 연소 시스템을 반영하기 위해 주요 생성물인 CO₂, H₂O, O₂ 그리고 N₂를 희석제로써 재순환하였다. FGR 기법이 적용됨에 따라 특정한 신장률 조건에서 최대화염 온도의 전환점이 발견되었다. 또한, 재순환율이 증가함에 따라 온도와 NO의 경향이 달리 나타났으며, 이를 파악하고자 NO 반응을 열적 NO와 Fenimore NO로 구분하여 분석하였다.

The fluid-flow characteristics of flue-gas-recirculation (FGR) system can have a significant effect on system efficiency of a sintering plant. The flow characteristics in the system were investigated. A sintering plant with FGR system was modeled. Numerical visualization was performed and flow characteristics were analyzed. Characteristics of the flow distribution of the branch ducts, the inflow of air into the recirculating hood, and the flow in the hood were discussed. Based on the results three suggestions were proposed: (1) distribution of branch duct flowrate upstream, (2) installation of external air ducts in the hood, and (3) installation of baffles at the hood corners. The suggestions were tested numerical and experimental visualization methods. The suggestions were effective and confirmed to be applicable to the actual sinter plant.

The effect of recirculated exhaust gas on exhaust emissions under four kinds of nozzle tip with the different fuel consumption rate are experimentally investigated by using an once-through boiler with FGR system. The purpose of this study is to develop the FGR control system for reducing NOx in a boiler. Intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations, and equivalence ratio are applied to discuss the effect of FGR rate on exhaust emissions at various fuel consumption rates. It is found that NOx emissions are decreased, while soot emissions are increased owing to the drop of intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations, and the rise of equivalence ratio as FGR rates are elevated.

The effects of recirculated exhaust gas on exhaust emissions under four kinds of nozzle tip with the different fuel consumption rates are experimentally investigated by using an once-through boiler with a FGR system. The purpose of this study is to develop the FGR control system for reducing $NO_x$ emissions in boilers. Intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations, and equivalence ratio are considered to figure out the effect of FGR rate on exhaust emissions at various fuel consumption rates. It is found that $NO_x$ emissions are markedly decreased, while soot emissions are increased owing to the drop of intake and exhaust oxygen concentrations, and the rise of equivalence ratio as FGR rates are elevated. One can also conclude that the reduction in $NO_x$ emissions is more considerably influenced by the variation of equivalence ratio due to the FGR rate than the fuel consumption rate.

The effect of recirculated exhaust gas on performance and exhaust emissions with FGR rate are investigated by using a natural circulation, pressurized draft and water tube boiler with FGR system operating at several boiler loads and over fire air(OFA) damper openings. The purpose of this study is to apply the FGR system to a power plant boiler for reducing $NO_{x}$ emissions. To activate the combustion, the suction damper of two stage combustion system installed in the upper side of wind box is opened by handling the lever between $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ , and the OFA with 0 to 20% into the flame is supplied, as the combustion air supplied to burner is reduced. It is found that the fuel consumption rate divided by evaporation rate does not show an obvious tendency to increase or decrease with rising the FOR rate, and $NO_{x}$ emissions are decreased, at the same OF A damper opening, as FOR rates are elevated and boiler loads are dropped.

Oxy-coal combustion for $CO_2$ capture in coal power plants entails a mode switching from air-firing to oxyfiring. In this study, procedure of the mode switching was investigated and discussed through experiments in pilot scale facilities: (1) a 0.3 $MW_{th}$ furnace with a vertical single burner and a FGR(Flue Gas Recirculation) system (2) a 1 $MW_{th}$ furnace with horizontal 4 burners and a FGR system. Principle of the mode switching was established and performed with control of FD fan, FGR fan, ID fan and oxygen flow rates. We have found that equivalence ratio in the oxy-firing mode should be increased more than that in the air-firing to achieve stable mode switching. Control of FD, ID and FGR fans should be performed carefully in the mode switching, in the sense of complete combustion and flame attachment. Moisture contents in the ash and the flue gas recycled to the primary oxidizer stream should be removed to prevent condensation, corrosion and duct clogging.

자연순환식 압입 송풍식 수관보일러에 FGR시스템을 설치하여 보일러 부하 및 공기량 댐퍼개도를 파라미터로 해서 FGR률에 따른 성능 및 배기 배출물에 미치는 재순환 배기의 영향을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 $NO_x$ 배출물을 저감시키기 위하여 동력플랜트 보일러에 FGR시스템을 적용하는 것이다. 연소를 활성화시키기 위해 0 ~ 20%의 연소용 공기를 화염 내에 공급한다. 공기상자 상부에 설치된 2단 연소시스템의 흡입댐퍼를 $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ 사이에서 레버를 조작하여 열면, 버너로 공급되는 연소용 공기가 변화된다. 증발률당의 연료소비율은 FGR률의 증가에 따라 증가 혹은 감소의 명확한 경향을 나타내지 않았고, 동일 공기량 댐퍼개도에서는 FGR률이 증가할수록, 또한, 보일러 부하가 감소할수록 $NO_x$ 배출물이 감소되었다. 매연 배출물은 전기 집진기에서 86.7%의 포집효율로 매연이 제거되었기 때문에, 보일러 부하, 공기량 댐퍼 개도 및 FGR률의 운전조건에 관계없이 극소량의 매연이 배출되었다.

순산소 연소와 배가스 재순환(FGR : Flue Gas Recirculation) 기술은 $CO_2$ 저감 목적으로 많은 연구자들의 관심을 받아왔다. 본 연구는 다공 동축 버너를 이용하여 산소 공급비(OFR : Oxygen Feeding Ratio)에 따른 순산소 연소 특성과 동일 조건에서 FGR 시스템을 모사하기 위하여 공급 위치에 따른 $CO_2$ 첨가 효과의 특성을 비교하는 데에 초점을 맞추었다. 순산소 연소는 당량비 0.93 에 해당하는 연료 유량 15lpm 일 때 OFR 전 영역에서 안정적이었고, 화염 구조와 길이는 OFR 에 따라 변동하였다. 순산소 연소에 $CO_2$ 를 첨가할 때, 안정, 천이, 준평형, 불안정 그리고 날림 등의 다양한 안정화 모드가 관찰되었으며, 연소로 내의 전반적인 온도분포가 감소하였고, 특히 case 4 에서 1800 K 이하로 떨어져 최대 감소 효과를 보였다. 노즐 끝단으로부터 높이에 따른 $CO_2$ 농도는 첨가된 $CO_2$ 의 체적 비율에 따라 변동하였다.
