Abstract (en)

A post-firing burner unit comprising at least one fuel gas delivery pipe (4) placed crosswise with respect to the flow (F) of the oxidising gas in the feed duct (1) of a heat recovery steam generator, with at least one row of fuel gas injector nozzles (6) distributed along the delivery pipe. The burner also comprises: first fuel gas deflector means (7,10) for diverting the fuel gas flow coming from the nozzles (6) in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the burner, the first deflector means (7,10) being attached to the fuel gas delivery pipe (4) in front of the injector nozzles (6); second oxidising gas deflector means (14,18) extending around a part of the delivery pipe (4) and terminating at symmetrically opposite ends of the first deflector means (7,10). The second deflector means divide the oxidising gas flow into a first fraction (F1) for mixing with the flow of fuel gas coming from the first deflector means (7,10) inside at least one first mixing region (P) inside the burner, where a premixed flow of fuel gas and oxidising gas is formed, and a second fraction (F2) for mixing with the premixed flow in at least one second mixing region (C) downstream of the burner.
