摘要 |
The invention provides a water-tube boiler which allows further NOx reduction and CO reduction with a simple construction of the boiler body and the burner itself. The water-tube boiler includes a first water tube array made up of a plurality of first water tubes arranged into an annular shape, a combustion chamber defined inside the first water tube array, a first opening defined at part of the first water tube array, a cooling water tube array made up of a plurality of cooling water tubes arranged into an annular shape in a zone within the combustion chamber where burning-reaction ongoing gas is present, gaps provided between adjacent cooling water tubes so as to permit the burning-reaction ongoing gas to flow through, and a burning-reaction continuing zone, where burning reaction is continuously effected, provided between the cooling water tube array and the first water tube array, whereby the burning-reaction ongoing gas generally uniformly contacts the individual cooling water tubes.
