In recent years, to reduce the design cost, improve the economic benefits and shorten the research cycle, the leading waste incinerator manufacturers in Japan have developed high-precision three-dimensional CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) models and software based on the actual measured data. Since CFD technology can simulate the combustion state of the incinerator under various conditions, it can help Japanese manufacturers understand and explain the phenomena observed in reality, optimize the design of various equipment, and improve the operating conditions and efficiency of the incinerator. Based on their most advanced mechanical stoker-type waste incinerators, Japanese manufacturers study the impact of various parameters on the combustion in the incinerator based on CFD technology. Only by controlling the combustion parameters such as the excess air coefficient, Japanese manufacturers can maintain the stable and complete combustion in the incinerator, reduce the emission of pollutants and improve the waste heat recovery efficiency of the incinerator.
