Abstract:
A flame detector is disclosed for monitoring a flame during a combustion process, comprising a camera and a carrier tube, wherein the camera is arranged at a front end of the carrier tube such that an optical access of the camera is directed toward the flame when the front end of the carrier tube is mounted in the vicinity of a burner nozzle aperture.
Abstract:
Disclosure is made of methods, systems, and apparatus for changing characteristics of noise of premixed flames supported on burners by heating burner passageways by an amount that attenuates combustion noises arising from premixed flames. Alternatively, attenuation occurs by controlling a temperature differential between a first point relative to a premixed flame and at least a second point in an uncombusted portion of a fuel/oxidizer mixture causing the flame
Abstract:
A burner includes a swirl generator (3) for a combustion airflow, has a conical swirl chamber (2) and a device for admitting fuel into the combustion airflow, wherein the swirl generator (3) incorporates combustion air inlet openings for the combustion airflow tangentially entering into the conical swirl chamber (2), and wherein the device for admitting fuel into the combustion airflow includes a first fuel feeding device having a first group (4) of fuel outlet openings substantially disposed in the direction of the burner axis for a first premix fuel quantity. The burner incorporates at least one second fuel feeding device having at least one second group (5) of fuel outlet openings that are substantially disposed in the direction of the burner axis for a second premix fuel quantity, which can be supplied with fuel independently from the first fuel feeding device, a burner lance (6) along a burner axis (A) projects from the side of the swirl chamber (2) with the smallest swirl chamber cross section into the swirl chamber (2), and the device for supplying fuel into the combustion airflow additionally incorporates at least one fuel outlet opening (8) within the burner lance (6), through which fuel is dischargeable along the burner axis.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a gas burner (1) wit multiple concentric flame rings, comprising: a central burner (2) with a central ring of flame orifices (5), and axial central gas injector (6) and convergent-divergent means (7) forming venturi; and an annular outer burner (3) coaxially surrounding the central burner and provided with at least one annular ring of flame orifices (9), gas injecting means (10) and convergent-divergent means (12) forming venturis; the gas injecting means (10) include several radial gas injectors (11) around the central injector (6); the convergent-divergent means (12) include several radial convergent-divergent conduits (13) forming tubular venturis coaxial respectively to the radial injectors (11) and emerging in the annular outer burner.
Abstract:
Combustion head and method for combusting liquid and/or gaseous fuel having a flame front distanced downstream from the combustion head, in which fuel is discharged in a downstream direction radially outward at an angle at the end of the combustion head located downstream toward at least several guide devices and into a combustion chamber.
Abstract:
A wall structure for bordering a combustion chamber of a burner has a top plate that is exposed to the combustion chamber and a bottom plate in contact with the top plate in contact zones on a side facing away from the combustion chamber. The top plate and/or the bottom plate are shaped so that a channel system is created between the top plate and the bottom plate. The top plate contains first openings which communicate with the channel system. In addition, the top plate and the bottom plate have joint second openings in the contact zones communicating with a feed space which is arranged on a side of the bottom plate facing away from the combustion chamber.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a secure and convenient igniter. The igniter includes a trigger and a security element. The trigger is pivotally connected to the igniter for actuation of the igniter. The security element is pivotally connected to the igniter so that the security element normally locks the trigger and can be pivoted in order to set the trigger free for pivotal. The pivotal of the security element and the pivotal of the trigger can be done in a smooth sequence.
Abstract:
A burner debris collection apparatus for projectors aims to assist collecting burner debris includes debris collection ducts located on a bracing bracket which holds a socket and tracks located on the bracing bracket for mounting the socket by sliding. The debris collection ducts communicate with the tracks. After a burner has been blasted, the burner debris scattered in the tracks are pushed by a replacing socket (including a good burner) into the debris collection ducts. A debris collection tray may be provided on the debris discharge outlets of the debris collection ducts to collect the discharged burner debris.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for improved combustion of oxygen and a mixture of a non-gaseous fuel, which includes providing: 1) a source of a mixture of non-gaseous fuel and conveying gas; 2) a source of oxygen; 3) a burner operatively associated with a combustion chamber; 4) a fuel duct in fluid communication with the source of mixed non-gaseous fuel and conveying gas; 5) a tubular oxygen lance fluidly communicating with the source of oxygen; and 6) at least two injection elements in fluid communication with the source of oxygen. The fuel duct includes a portion that extends along an axis towards the burner. The lance is disposed along the axis and has a diameter D. The injection elements are configured to inject oxygen into, and mix therewith, a flow of the mixture upstream of, or at, the burner. At least one of the injection elements receives oxygen from the lance. The injection elements are spaced apart by a distance X, which is greater than the length of diameter D.
Abstract:
Burners in prior art exhibit combustion instabilities in certain ranges. The operating range of burners is restricted by said instabilities. In an inventive burner, the combustible has a concentration distribution, whereby the concentration of the combustible reduces in a radial direction from the interior to the exterior.
