A fuel-staging burner assembly and method in which a burner nozzle has separate, concentrically disposed elements to burn coarse and fine coal particles under different combustion conditions to reduce the production of nitrogen oxides from the combustion of coal as a fuel. The burner assembly further includes a control nozzle for maintaining a swirling motion in the combustion flame and a separate, axially-movable adjustable sleeve for regulating the quantity flow of turbulence-free combustion-supporting air.

A flow control means for use with a burner to provide a flow of substantially turbulence-free combustion supporting fluid to the burner, comprising: a conduit adapted to be disposed about the outlet of the burner; a pair of substantially-parallel, spaced members operatively connected to said conduit

A flow control means for use with a burner to provide a flow of substantially turbulence-free combustion supporting fluid to the burner, comprising: a conduit adapted to be disposed about the outlet of the burner; a pair of substantially-parallel, spaced members operatively connected to said conduit, said spaced members defining therebetween a flow passage; a tubular sleeve slidably disposed on said spaced members and movable to vary the size of the flow passage; a plurality of spaced perforations disposed on said tubular sleeve in a row parallel to the longitudinal axis of said tubular sleeve; and screw means rotatably disposed in operative engagement with said perforations, whereby rotation of said screw means causes movement of said tubular sleeve axially relative to the longitudinal axis for said sleeve.
