Definitions
- This invention regards a process and equipment to obtain th combustion of gas by means of an atmospheric burner.
- Several kinds o burners are known: for solid, liquid and gaseous fuels.
- the burners for gaseous fuels are divided into fan assisted burner and atmospheric burners.
- the atmospheric burner an imperfect combustion may occur with harmful emissions of carbo monoxide and nitric oxides, which cause atmospheric pollution.
- the object of this invention is a process and an equipment to obtai a combustion having a very low level of harmful emissions of at leas 40 of gas capacity per square cm of combustion chamber measured i a plan view.
- This object has been reached by obtaining a plurality of small flam which become violet when combusting natural gas, that means in t visible spectrum radiations with a wave length, below 0,42 micron.
- the above is obtained by acting so that the quantity of primary ai inducted inside the burner from the gas jet by means of the sucti tube, usually a Venturi tube, reaches at least 80% of the a stoichiometrically required for combustion; and by acting so that t secondary air laps all sides of every single small flame of t plurality of small flames which come out from the burner's body, in zone close to the external surface of the burner so as to swell ea flame making its width at least as big as its height; and/or alternatively by increasing the contact surface between flame and secondary a right from the first combustion steps, thus producing a small fla with two divergent wings, similar to "butterfly wings".
- the atmospheric burner according to the present invention has specific combustion capacity which never exceeds 1,1 KW for each c of the ports area on the burner's body.
- the sucked air gas mixture maintains a uniform acceleration throu the Venturi tube mouthpiece, which has a parabolic form without sha edges; besides that the maximum average mixture speed must not exce 4,5 m/sec, preferably4,l m/sec.
- the burner's bo sections are wide enough to maintain the average speed of the mixtu lower than 2,5 m/sec, preferably 2 m/sec.
- th latter should be slightly bent compared to the injector axis, order to obtain concentricity with the real diverted mixture flow.
- louvers are open obtain a gradual backflow.
- these louvers are open the Venturi tube in zones far from the flame ports of the burner' body.
- the upper part of the burner's body, where the slots i small groups are located has a bending radius bigger to the one the lower part.
- the number of slots in each group of a row decreas towards the burner's vertical symmetry plane.
- the slots c be parallel to each other.
- small groups are created by slots of differe lengths, outwards decreasing, for example the area occupied by small group can be a rhombus. This is favorable in general a particularly with a chess-board configuration.
- the ro made up of small groups are longitudinally located at a variab distance. It is also possible to vary the distance among the grou of a single row. Moreover each group can have a different ports are
- the flame lift preventing holes are numerous and at a certain mutu distance according to need.
- the may be placed at t apexes of a square and/or equilateral triangle at a distance of 1 to 1,5 mm, preferably 1,4 mm.
- Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a burner
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view along the line A-A in figure 1;
- Figs. 3a and 3b show views of possible variations in the slot grou
- Fig. 4 shows a view of a possible arrangement of the slot groups
- Fig. 5 shows a variant of figure 4.
- Fig. 6 shows a plan view of the upper part of a burner
- Fig. 7 shows a side view of a variant of the burner in figure 6;
- Figs. 8 and 9 show variants of fig. 2;
- Figs. 10a, 10b, 10c and lOd show views of possible variants of t sub-groups of holes in which the mutual positions of a sub-group slots and a sub-group of holes is shown.
- Figures 1 and 2 show a burner consisting of a burner body containing inside it a Venturi tube 2, which has a smoot funnel-shaped mouthpiece 3 with a parabolic form.
- the Venturi tube leaves a free area (hatched in figure 2, 8 and 9) inside the burn body 1, such as to give an average air/gas mixture speed n exceeding 2m/sec.
- the upper part of the burner body has holes out which comes a series of small flames F.
- the section of the burn body 1 where the holes are located is convex, with a bending radi greater than the bending radius of the lower part.
- the holes consi of small groups 5 of slots 7, each consisting of two sub-groups forming a flame F with two wings (fig. 7) .
- the small groups 5 a arranged in rows 8 perpendicular to the burner axis 10. Flame li preventing holes 6 are provided between the various small groups (Figs. 10a to lOd).
- the rows of small groups can be arrang alongside one another with the small groups lined up as shown figure 4, the distance "a" between the small groups 5 in this ca being at least 0.65b, where "b” is the maximum length of the slots a group, while the distance "c” between the rows is at least nd/ where "n” is the number of small groups making up the row and "d” the width of the totality of slots 7 forming a small group
- the rows 8 of small groups 5 can be offset with respe of rows 8' , as shown in figure 5.
- the distances "a” and “c” must comply with t conditions described earlier; "n” in this case is the sum of t small groups in the two adjacent, offset rows 8 and 8'.
- the distan between the sub-groups 4 of each small group 5 is 2.4 - 2.8 mm.
- Each sub-group may consist of slots 7, equal in length and parall (figures 3a, 4 and 6); the number of slots can be two, three or fou
- the sub-group (fig. 3b) may consist of slots 7' different lengths (decreasing from the center of the group outward so that the area occupied by each group corresponds to a rhombus. this case the number of slots making up the sub-group may be tw three, four or a maximum of five.
- Tfre flame lift preventing holes 6 can be arranged as illustrated figures 10a to lOd, i.e at the apexes of a square and/or an ide equilateral triangle, their center distance I being from 1.3 to 1 mm., preferably 1.4 mm.
- Louvers 12 are provided far from small groups 5 in order distribute the backflow along the burner body 1.
- the particular shap and colour of the flame makes it possible to achieve combustion of high capacity of gas - 40 W per square cm of combustion chambe measured in a plan view - with a very low level of harmful emissions
