The methods used for PCE are summarized in five categories: Cyclone PCE, Elbow PCE, Blunt-body PCE, Hydrodynamic PCE and Swirling PCE. Practice of each PCE method is il- lustrated with typical burners and the associated pros and cons are discussed. It is found that the same principle prevails in all PCE methods, that is, due to inertial difference, solid particles preferentially decelerate and separate from the gas stream when the main flow deviates in flow orientation. From analysis of various P-C burners, PCE design is deemed to yet comprise “rule of thumb” practice. Somediscussions regarding PCE application are given.展开更多
