✦ Synopsis

An eight-week test programme was carried out on a test burner with 2.5 MW thermal output in the IFRF test furnace in Ijmuiden, The Netherlands. The burner test was accompanied by numerical calculations and cold flow experiments. This led to the application of the burner in a utility boiler with a thermal capacity of 32 MW per burner, recommissioned in summer 1995 after retrofitting the burners. Burner operation performance did not experience problems. Experimental data are reported and the possibilities of adapting the burner to existing units are addressed.
