Abstract

Unit for thermal incineration of non-explosive gases with minor amounts of organic pollutants and for production of hot air, and which can be adapted to various types of supplementary fuel. There is a combustion chamber which consists of a flame pipe inside an outer jacket. Through the space therebetween, incoming process gas is led as coolant. At its front end, the combustion chamber has a burner for supplementary fuel and a mixing-in zone for process gas. The process gas rapidly mixes with the hot combustion gases in the flame, the gas reaching its reaction temperature directly. Powerful turbulence in the mixing-in zone gas, film-layer cooling, convective cooling and even flow give highly efficient and pure combustion while keeping the flame pipe temperature low enough to prevent corrosion.

Exhaust gas cleaning device for internal combustion engines

Patent Sakurai, Y; Irimajiri, S

An internal-combustion spark-ignition V-8 piston engine has an exhaust gas reaction chamber body positioned between its two banks of cylinders. Each cylinder has a main combustion chamber communicating with an auxiliary combustion chamber by means of a torch opening. A main intake manifold with branching portion over the reaction chamber communicates with main intake passages to supply a lean air-fuel mixture to the main combustion chambers. An auxiliary intake manifold with branching portion directly below the central portion of the branching portion of the main intake manifold communicates with auxiliary intake passages to supply a rich air-fuel mixture to themore »« less
Studies on a nozzle-mix swirl burner with combustion staging

Conference Rao, B; Shet, U; Lenze, B

The present day energy crisis and the concern about increasing atmospheric pollution has focused attention in developing energy efficient, pollution free combustion systems. Among the pollutants the role of NOx is crucial because of its involvement in global warming, photochemical smog and acid rain as well as effects on human health. It is realized that nozzle-mix swirl burners play a major role in establishing stable mixing controlled diffusion flames which have got several important advantages, viz., high stability, flexibility in operation and better control over generation of pollutants. Swirl burners can be operated potentially as low NOx burners by controllingmore »« less
Infrared radiant heater

Patent Schmidt, G

An infrared radiant heating apparatus is described for use in heating articles rapidly and efficiently by infrared radiation absorption. The apparatus comprises a support frame, a heat absorbing and radiating heater mounted on the support frame, the heater including an inner heat cone and an outer heat cone spaced apart from each other and joined together along their outer peripheries to define a combustion chamber. The outer heat cone has an exposed convex conical surface and forms a heat absorbing and radiating material. The heater further includes a fuel pipe extending to a nozzle which extends through the inner heatmore »« less
Heating unit

Patent Gamroth, A

An improved heating unit comprises a combustion chamber which includes a fuel-supporting perforated burning platform located a distance from the bottom of the combustion chamber. A perforated air plenum is disposed within the combustion chamber a short distance from the combustion chamber top wall to overly a portion of the burning platform. A blower forces air upwardly through the perforations in the burning platform to facilitate waste material combustion and the blower also forces air downwardly through the plenum perforations against the burning platform to further oxygenate the flames and thereby achieve nearly complete combustion. The pressure of incoming airmore »« less
Experimental investigation of wood combustion in a fixed bed with hot air

Journal Article Markovic, Miladin; Bramer, Eddy; Brem, Gerrit - Waste Management

Highlights: • Upward combustion is a new combustion concept with ignition by hot primary air. • Upward combustion has three stages: short drying, rapid devolatilization and char combustion. • Variation of fuel moisture and inert content have little influence on the combustion. • Experimental comparison between conventional and upward combustion is presented. - Abstract: Waste combustion on a grate with energy recovery is an important pillar of municipal solid waste (MSW) management in the Netherlands. In MSW incinerators fresh waste stacked on a grate enters the combustion chamber, heats up by radiation from the flame above the layer and ignitionmore »« less
