Abstract
Abstract A boiler apparatus having a furnace and a plurality of heat exchanger stages disposed in a channel for the combustion gas discharged from the furnace. The boiler apparatus is equipped with a denitrator which utilizes a catalyst and which is disposed in the optimum reaction temperature region for the catalyst in the channel. In order to control the temperature of the combustion gas in the optimum reaction temperature region, this region is adapted to communicate with a high temperature gas source or a low temperature gas source through a control valve. Desirably, the portion of the combustion gas channel which includes the optimum reaction temperature region is divided into a plurality of systems and dampers whose opening and closing are controlled are provided upstream and downstream of the region.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
In a boiler apparatus having a furnace and a plurality of heat exchangers disposed in a combustion gas channel between the furnace and boiler apparatus exits, the improvement comprising, a denitrator having a catalyst disposed in said combustion gas channel downstream of at least one of said heat exchangers, a bypass duct for said combustion gas channel connecting a first region thereof in which said denitrator is disposed with a second region upstream of said first region, control valve means disposed in said duct, and a temperature detector disposed in said first region and connected to said control valve means so as to control the opening and closing of said valve means in response to the temperature detected in said first region by said detector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
In a boiler apparatus having a furnace and a plurality of heat exchangers disposed in a combustion gas channel between the furnace and boiler apparatus exits, the improvement comprising, a denitrator having a catalyst disposed in said combustion gas channel downstream of at least one of said heat exchangers, a bypass duct for said combustion gas channel connecting a first region thereof in which said denitrator is disposed with a second region upstream of said first region, control valve means disposed in said duct, and a temperature detector disposed in said first region and connected to said control valve means so as to control the opening and closing of said valve means in response to the temperature detected in said first region by said detector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A boiler apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said second region is upstream of said one heat exchanger.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A boiler apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said heat exchangers comprise at lease one superheater and primary economizer and secondary economizer, said denitrator being disposed between said primary and secondary economizers and said bypass duct communicating between the upstream and downstream sides of said secondary economizer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A boiler apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein at least the portion of said combustion gas channel which includes said first region is divided into a plurality of divisional channels, and dampers are installed on the upstream and downstream sides of each divisional channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
68 words
A boiler apparatus as set forth in claim 4, wherein said bypass duct comprises a divisional duct for each divisional channel, said control valve means comprises a divisional control valve for each bypass duct, the arrangement being such that at the time of operating said divisional control valves, the degree of opening of said dampers for opening and closing the divisional channels is adjusted in operative association therewith.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
133 words
In a boiler apparatus having a furnace and a plurality of heat exchangers disposed in a combustion gas channel between the furnace and boiler apparatus exits, the improvement comprising, a denitrator having a catalyst disposed in said combustion gas channel downstream of at least one of said heat exchangers, a gas source providing means for providing additional gas the temperature of which is different from that of combustion gas in the region in which said denitrator is disposed, a duct communicating said gas source providing means to said region, a control valve disposed in said duct, and a temperature detector disposed in said region and connected to said control valve so as to control the opening and closing of said valve in response to the temperature detected in said region by said detector.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
133 words
In a boiler apparatus having a furnace and a plurality of heat exchangers disposed in a combustion gas channel between the furnace and boiler apparatus exits, the improvement comprising, a denitrator having a catalyst disposed in said combustion gas channel downstream of at least one of said heat exchangers, a gas source providing means for providing additional gas the temperature of which is different from that of combustion gas in the region in which said denitrator is disposed, a duct communicating said gas source providing means to said region, a control valve disposed in said duct, and a temperature detector disposed in said region and connected to said control valve so as to control the opening and closing of said valve in response to the temperature detected in said region by said detector.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A boiler apparatus as set forth in claim 6, wherein said gas source providing means is a separate temperature raising furnace.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
28 words
A boiler apparatus as set forth in claim 6, including means for maintaining said gas source providing means at a lower temperature than the temperature in said region.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
23 words
A boiler apparatus as set forth in claim 6, wherein said gas source providing means is a means for taking in the atmosphere.
