Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a burner intended to be placed in a duct for heating air or another oxidizing gas circulating at high speed in said duct and essentially consisting of a tube supplied with combustible gas and pierced with holes, possibly provided with injectors, making it possible to emit jets of combustible gas directed downstream, and deflectors fixed on said tube and serving to deflect the current of oxidizing gas to create downstream of the ramp a protected area where the flame can develop .
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback by ensuring a practically constant aeration rate of the air-fuel mixture, despite variations in the fuel flow rate and / or the speed of the gas to be heated.
  • the burner which is the subject of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises, downstream of each hole or injector and coaxially with it, a convergent-divergent nozzle arranged so that the jet of combustible gas coming from said hole or injector creates a vacuum at the inlet of the nozzle, and in that the inlet of the nozzle is placed in communication with the interior space of said duct surrounding the burner by at least one opening arranged so as to eliminate the influence of the dynamic pressure of the gas to be heated on the flow rate of oxidizing gas sucked by the nozzle through said opening.
  • the space between the tube and the nozzles is closed by two wall elements fixed to the tube and arranged substantially parallel to the plane containing the axes of the nozzles, on either side thereof, and by a front wall connected to said wall elements and carrying the nozzles, and openings are drilled in said wall elements.
  • Said front wall may advantageously be constituted by two wall elements converging downstream and forming a dihedral whose edge is located in the plane of the axes of the nozzles.
  • the deflectors can be connected to said wall elements and stiffening ribs can be provided for connect the deflectors to said front wall and to the nozzles.
  • the tube can advantageously be fitted with injectors whose position is adjustable so that the distance from each injector to the neck of the respective nozzle can be varied.
  • part of the air necessary for combustion may be supplied by a sheath surrounding said tube and formed, in part, by the flame stabilizer.
  • this auxiliary fuel gas injection may be carried out by means of one or two tubes pierced with holes or provided with injectors, placed on one side of the burner or on either side thereof, respectively, and connected to the main gas supply tube.
  • the flame stabilizer will advantageously have a modular construction.
  • the burner of FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a tube 10 arranged transversely in a duct whose cross section is clearly greater than that of said tube and through which air or another oxygen-containing gas circulates, in the direction indicated by arrow A, and a flame stabilizer 12 fixed on the tube 10, at the front thereof.
  • the tube 10 is connected to a source of pressurized combustible gas and is pierced with calibrated holes 14 through which jets of combustible gas are emitted downstream, in a direction parallel to the direction of flow of the gas to be heated (arrow AT).
  • the stabilizer 12 has two divergent wings 16 forming deflectors which are connected to the tube 10 by wall elements 18 parallel to the direction of flow of the gas stream to be heated; the wings 16 have at their downstream end a profile break allowing them stiffen.
  • the space at the front of the tube 10 is closed by a front wall formed by two converging wall elements 20 which delimit with the tube a chamber 22.
  • This chamber can be closed at both ends of the burner by walls perpendicular to the axis of the tube and can be divided by partitions parallel to these walls.
  • Holes 24 drilled in the wall elements 18 communicate the chamber 22 with the interior space of the conduit where the gas to be heated circulates.
  • Convergent-divergent nozzles 26 are mounted on the wall elements 20, coaxially with the holes 14 of the tube 10, the axes of the nozzles defining a plane parallel to the direction of flow of the air to be heated.
  • the assembly can be reinforced by ribs 28 and 30.
  • the various components of the stabilizer can be assembled by welding.
  • the stabilizer can also be formed from identical modular elements fixed side by side on the tube 10, for example by welding, each modular element being in one piece from the foundry.
  • the energy of the jets of combustible gas coming from the orifices 14 is used to draw a certain flow of air or of oxidizing gas, through the openings 24, and produce a flammable mixture which burns at the outlet of the nozzles . Thanks to this construction, a premix of the air or of the oxidizing gas and of the combustible gas upstream of the nozzle is avoided and any risk of combustion in this zone is eliminated and, consequently, the walls of the chamber 22 are overheated and the carbon black deposit.
  • the ratio of the quantity of oxidizing gas sucked to the quantity of oxidizing gas necessary for complete combustion which is called aeration rate when the oxidizing gas is air, depends on the diameter of the orifices 14, on the diameter of the neck the nozzle and the distance from the orifices to the neck of the nozzle but it varies little when the flow rate of combustible gas is modified; this rate can be fixed by construction at an optimal value.
  • the tube 10 can be fitted with injectors whose distance from the throat of the nozzles is adjustable so as to be able to adjust the ventilation rate, for example to modify the diameter and / or the length of the flame.
  • the dynamic pressure of the air has practically no influence on the ventilation rate and the operation of the burner is not disturbed by variations in the speed of the air stream or of the oxidizing mixture.
  • Other means in particular the use of deflectors placed upstream of the openings 24, could be provided to eliminate the influence of the dynamic pressure of the gas to be heated on the flow of gas sucked through the nozzles.
  • FIG. 3 shows, in cross section, an embodiment of the burner of the invention usable when the gas to be heated has a relatively low oxygen content.
  • a fraction of the air necessary for combustion is supplied by a duct 40 formed, in part, by the wall elements 18 ′ and 20 ′ of the stabilizer 12 ′ and, in part, by a semi-cylindrical shell 42.
  • the gas supply tube 10 ′ is housed inside the sheath 40 and is fitted with injectors 44.
  • FIG. 4 shows a modified form of the burner of FIG. 1 which makes it possible to keep the nitrogen oxide content of the heated gases at a particularly low value.
  • only part of the total flow of combustible gas feeding the tube 10 ⁇ is injected through the holes 14 ⁇ , the other part being injected at the front of the burner by means of bent pipes 50 spaced over the entire length of the burner; the end of these pipes, which may optionally be fitted with injectors, is approximately in the same plane as the front edge of the wings of the stabilizer 12 ⁇ and outside of it.
  • a single row of pipes is provided on one side of the burner, but they could be arranged on either side of the burner.
  • the injection of part of the combustible gas at the front of the burner could be carried out by means of one or two tubes pierced with holes or provided with injectors, arranged parallel to the tube 10 ⁇ , near the edge of one or both wings of the flame stabilizer, respectively, at outside of it, and connected to the 10 ⁇ tube.
