It should be noted that the stable flame units 61 are preferably porous lattice bricks, the second gas channels 602 herein refer to existing lattice holes of the porous lattice bricks, and extend along the direction from top to bottom (vertical direction) of the top-fired hot blast stove, the channels that are centered on the second gas channels 602 and are communicated with the second gas channels 602 on the same line are first gas channels 601, preferably, the first gas channels 601 are perpendicular to the second gas channels 602, and it should be noted that, for each stable flame unit 61, each first gas channel 601 may be located at the same height, or may include a plurality of channels located at different heights.

The formation of nitrogen oxides in the combustion flue gas includes three types of thermal nitrogen oxides, rapid nitrogen oxides and fuel nitrogen oxides, and the nitrogen oxides generated in the combustion process are mainly thermal nitrogen oxides and part of rapid nitrogen oxides. The thermal nitrogen oxide is generated by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen at high temperature and mainly occurs in a flame high-temperature area, and the rapid nitrogen oxide is generated by the reaction of nitrogen and hydrocarbon free radicals in a fuel-rich area at the flame front. The short flame combustion can reduce the residence time of combustion products in a high temperature region, so that the generation of thermal nitrogen oxides is inhibited, and the short flame is realized by mixing coal gas and air, so that local high temperature peaks can be reduced, and the generation of the thermal nitrogen oxides is reduced.
In order to increase the mixing degree of the gas and the primary combustion air, a grid plate may be further provided on the grid furnace wall 35, and the grid holes of the grid plate are communicated with the grid holes of the grid furnace wall 35. Specifically, the aperture of the grid holes of the grid plate may be smaller than the aperture of the grid holes of the grid furnace wall 35, or the aperture of the grid holes of the grid plate may be larger than the aperture of the grid holes of the grid furnace wall 35.
Further, in order to enable the mixed gas after preliminary mixing of the gas and the primary combustion air to form a certain injection angle, in some specific embodiments, the grid furnace wall 35 is arranged obliquely at a preset angle to the axis of the combustion chamber 20.
Further, in order to make the temperature of the hot air discharged from the hot air outlet 13 reach a preset temperature, the hot air mixing chamber 10 is provided with a hot air mixing inlet 12 as shown in fig. 7, the hot air mixing inlet 12 is used for introducing cold air, and the axis of the hot air mixing inlet 12 and the axis of the hot air outlet 13 are positioned at the same height so that the cold air can be mixed with the hot air, so that the hot air is rapidly cooled, and the temperature of the hot air discharged from the hot air outlet 13 meets the preset temperature.
Further, as shown in fig. 7, in order to make the flow direction of the secondary combustion air flow in the opposite direction to the flow direction of the gas, to promote the sufficient combustion, a secondary combustion air inlet 11 is provided at the top of the hot air mixing chamber 10, and the secondary combustion air inlet 11 is provided with a secondary combustion air nozzle, which is provided opposite to the flame stabilizing device 60. The secondary combustion air is sprayed to the top surface of the flame stabilizing device 60, and can be uniformly distributed along the top surface plane of the flame stabilizing device 60, part of the secondary combustion air burns with the primary flue gas on the surface of the flame stabilizing device 60, and part of the secondary combustion air enters the flame stabilizing device 60 through the second gas channel 602 to burn with the primary flue gas. Meanwhile, the secondary combustion air passes through the hot air mixing chamber 10, so that the top of the top-combustion type hot air furnace can be cooled, the service temperature of the top-combustion type hot air furnace under the working condition of the refractory material is integrally reduced, and the service life of the refractory material is prolonged. The primary combustion air and the secondary combustion air can be sprayed into the top combustion type hot blast stove at the same time, or can be sprayed into the top combustion type hot blast stove according to a preset time and sequence, or the secondary combustion air is introduced when the oxygen concentration measured by a concentration measuring element arranged in the combustion chamber or the concentration of a product generated by combustion reaches a preset value.
Further, the gas injection speed is preferably 25m/s to 50m/s, the primary combustion air injection speed is preferably 30 m/s to 55m/s, and the secondary combustion air injection speed is preferably 40m/s to 55m/s.
Further, in the stage of burning the top-fired hot blast stove, the amount of primary combustion air entering through the primary combustion air inlet 31 is 0.5 to 0.8 times the total amount of combustion air, the amount of secondary combustion air entering through the secondary combustion air inlet 11 is 0.5 to 0.2 times the total amount of combustion air, specifically, when the amount of primary combustion air is 0.5 times the total amount of combustion air, the amount of secondary combustion air is 0.5 times the total amount of combustion air, and when the amount of primary combustion air is 0.8 times the total amount of combustion air, the amount of secondary combustion air is 0.2 times the total amount of combustion air. In the primary combustion zone (combustion chamber 20) the oxygen concentration is low, the combustion process is controlled by the mixing process of the gas and the oxygen, and the oxygen first undergoes combustion reaction with the gas because the combustion reaction activation energy of the oxygen and the gas is lower than the reaction activation energy of the oxygen and nitrogen atoms. Only when oxygen is left, the reaction of oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms is carried out to generate nitrogen oxides, so that the temperature in the furnace can be uniform as long as the distribution of the oxygen concentration in the furnace is reasonably controlled, local hot spots are not generated, and the highest temperature is restrained. Through simulation and experiments, when the ratio of the primary combustion air to the secondary combustion air meets the ratio, the generation amount of nitrogen oxides is small. The secondary combustion is performed at the top of the flame stabilizing device 60 and inside thereof, and the excess air is introduced from the secondary combustion air inlet 11 so that the total excess air ratio is greater than 1, thereby completely combusting the incompletely combusted gas to reduce the generation of nitrogen oxides.
Further, in order to promote sufficient combustion of the gas and the air, the average combustion temperature of the combustion chamber 20 is in the range of 1350 ℃ to 1410 ℃, and a temperature measuring element is provided in the combustion chamber 20 to measure the combustion temperature of the combustion chamber 20. The applicant found through simulation and experiment that when the dome temperature of the top combustion stove exceeds 1360 ℃, the generation rate of nitrogen oxides starts to increase, when the temperature exceeds 1420 ℃, the generation amount of nitrogen oxides increases sharply, and the longer the reaction time of nitrogen and oxygen under high temperature conditions, the generation amount of nitrogen oxides increases sharply, so that by controlling the combustion temperature of the combustion chamber 20 to meet the above temperature conditions, the generation amount of nitrogen oxides can be reduced.
Further, in order to ensure that the hot air mixing chamber 10, the combustion chamber 20, the burner 30 and the regenerator 40 are not affected by expansion, and also ensure good tightness, the wall of the hot air mixing chamber 10, the wall of the combustion chamber 20, the wall of the burner 30 and the wall of the regenerator 40 are connected by adopting a labyrinth.
