NO/sub x/ abatement in burning of gaseous or liquid fuels
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5615634
A burner system for burning gaseous or liquid fuel is comprised of a primary burner system, which includes a liquid burner tube closed at one end and provided with a plurality of primary combustion ports symmetrically arranged to provide a plurality of jets forming a conical sheet of particles of fuel. Surrounding the liquid burner is a gas burner tube, which comprises the annular space between two coaxial tubes closed at the end, and including therein a plurality of primary combustion ports arranged symmetrically to provide jets arranged on the surface of a cone. Combustion air is drawn into the space around the gas burner tube, to supply combustion air for the liquid and/or gaseous fuel. Upstream of the primary combustion ports is a secondary burner which is circular in configuration and surrounds and is spaced from the gas burner tube. A limited quantity of gaseous fuel is supplied in the form of a circumferentially directed jet in the lee of an annular plate. The combustion air flows adjacent the secondary burner and the products of combustion of the gas in the secondary burner, flows with the air into the combustion zone of the primary burner, where the carbon dioxide and water serve to reduce any NO/sub x/ that may be present in the combustion zone of the primary burner.
