Abstract:
A spectroscope apparatus includes a device for separating light from an object to be measured into spectral components, a device for mixing spectral components which exists in a desired wavelength range, and a device for forming an image of the to-be-measured body of mixed light. The image obtained is very useful for observing the state of a combustion flame, the progress a photochemical reaction, the progress of a biochemical reaction, tissue in a cell, and the state of a flame for analyzing a solution which contains a metal ion by flame spectrophotometry. The apparatus provides accurate analytical information and makes possible precise control operations.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for predicting and calculating an amount of harmful oxide such as NOx contained in an exhaust gas from a reference concentration of harmful oxide, which is previously determined by a type of fuel supplied to a fluidized bed combustor, an amount of change of an air ratio and an amount of change of a gas residence time to the conditions of a specific air ratio and gas residence time in the combustor, and injecting a treatment agent such as NH.sub.3 in an amount optimum to the predicted amount into an exhaust gas. With this arrangement, an amount of harmful oxide in the exhaust gas can be securely lowered to a target value.
Abstract:
A furnace system connected to a burner including a furnace for burning a fuel and air ejected from the burner into the furnace to produce a flame therein, and a combustion condition determining device for determining the conditions of combustion of the fuel in a zone of the flame extending along different strata thereof by collecting light in the flame at one point in the flame by moving such point. Signals outputted by the combustion condition determining device are utilized for monitoring or controlling the flame and controlling exhaust emission control devices for controlling exhaust emissions produced by the combustion of the fuel. Control of the conditions of combustion of the flame can be effected quickly with a high degree of precision by monitoring the flame.
