US Patent:

56116829, Mar 18, 1997

Filed:

Sep 5, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/523988

Inventors:

Aleksandar G. Slavejkov - Allentown PA
Thomas M. Gosling - Bethlehem PA
Robert E. Knorr - Allentown PA

Assignee:

Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. - Allentown PA

International Classification:

F23C 500

US Classification:

431 8

Abstract:

A staged oxy-fuel burner for producing a generally flat fuel rich flame overlying a highly radiative fuel lean flame, the burner having a fuel passage terminating in a nozzle, the fuel passage and nozzle having a generally elongated cross-section, a housing of complementary shape surrounding the fuel passage, so that when fuel is introduced into the fuel passage and an oxidizer is introduced into the passage defined by a space between the housing and the fuel passage a generally flat fuel rich flame is produced at the nozzle end of the fuel conduit and a staging nozzle for introducing oxidizer underneath and in a shape complementary to said fuel rich flame to produce a highly radiative fuel lean flame under said fuel rich flame. A precombustor having a cross-sectional shape complementary to that of flame end of the burner can be disposed on the flame end of the burner housing the precombustor having a nozzle underneath the flame end to introduce oxidizer underneath the fuel rich flame exiting the precombustor.

Abstract:

An oxy-fuel burner for producing a generally flat luminous flame, the burner having fuel passage terminating in a nozzle, the fuel passage and nozzle having a generally elongated cross-section, a housing of complementary shape surrounding the fuel passage, so that when fuel is introduced into the fuel passage and an oxidizer is introduced into the passage defined by a space between the housing and the fuel passage a generally flat luminous flame is produced at the nozzle end of the fuel conduit. A precombustor having a cross-sectional shape complementary to that of flame end of the burner can be disposed on the flame end of the burner housing to further enhance combustion and protect the burner from the furnace atmosphere.

F23D 1100

US Classification:

431159

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for combusting and/or gasifying a generally viscous liquid or a slurry wherein the liquid or slurry are atomized in a central atomization device within a burner housing the central atomization device using a portion of a gaseous oxidant introduced into the burner to atomize the liquid or slurry as it exits the atomization device.
