Description

多重管バーナMulti-tube burner
 本発明は、多重管バーナに関し、例えば光ファイバ母材等を製造する場合に好適なものである。 The present invention relates to a multi-tube burner, which is suitable for manufacturing, for example, an optical fiber preform.
 光ファイバ母材などを製造する場合、原料ガスを火炎と共に吹き付け、その燃焼反応により得られるガラス粒子をターゲットに堆積させる製法が用いられる。この様な製法として、例えば、VAD法(Vapor-phase Axial Deposition)、OVD(Outside Vapor Deposition)法、MCVD(Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition)法などを挙げることができる。なお、ガラス粒子はスートと呼ばれている。 When manufacturing an optical fiber preform or the like, a manufacturing method is used in which a raw material gas is sprayed with a flame and glass particles obtained by the combustion reaction are deposited on a target. Examples of such production methods include VAD (Vapor-phase Axial Deposition), OVD (Outside Vapor Deposition), and MCVD (Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition). Glass particles are called soot.
 このような多孔質ガラス堆積体の製法に用いられるバーナとして、ハロゲン化物を含有しないケイ素含有化合物を酸化させるバーナが下記特許文献1に開示されている。下記特許文献1のバーナの一面には複数の射出領域が設けられている。 As a burner used in such a method for producing a porous glass deposit, a burner that oxidizes a silicon-containing compound not containing a halide is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. A plurality of injection regions are provided on one surface of the burner of Patent Document 1 below.
 具体的には、原料ガスであるオクタメチルシクロテトラシロキサンと助燃性ガスである酸素との混合ガスを射出させる第1領域がバーナの射出口における中央に配置され、窒素を射出させる第2領域が第1領域を囲うように設けられている。また、助燃性ガスである酸素を射出させる複数の第3領域が第2領域の周りに所定間隔で設けられ、可燃性ガスであるメタンと助燃性ガスである酸素との混合ガスを射出させる複数の第4領域が第3領域の外側に所定間隔で設けられている。 Specifically, a first region for injecting a mixed gas of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, which is a raw material gas, and oxygen, which is a combustible gas, is disposed at the center of the burner outlet, and a second region for injecting nitrogen is provided. It is provided so as to surround the first region. Further, a plurality of third regions for injecting oxygen, which is an auxiliary combustion gas, are provided at predetermined intervals around the second region, and a plurality of injecting a mixed gas of methane, which is an inflammable gas, and oxygen, which is an auxiliary combustion gas. The fourth region is provided outside the third region at a predetermined interval.
特表平11-510778号公報Japanese National Patent Publication No. 11-510778
 ところで、原料ガス量が増加した場合、燃焼反応を起こした際の火炎の広がりが大きくなり、その火炎によりスートが拡散する傾向がある。上記特許文献1のバーナでは、原料ガスと助燃性ガスとの混合ガスを射出させる第1領域がバーナの射出口の最も内周側に設けられている。このため、大きく広がった火炎により第1領域よりも外周側にスートが拡散し、ターゲットに堆積するスートの堆積量が減ることが懸念される。 By the way, when the amount of the raw material gas increases, the flame spreads when the combustion reaction occurs, and soot tends to diffuse due to the flame. In the burner of the above-mentioned patent document 1, the 1st field which injects the mixed gas of source gas and auxiliary combustion gas is provided in the innermost peripheral side of the injection mouth of a burner. For this reason, there is a concern that soot spreads to the outer peripheral side of the first region due to the flame that spreads widely, and the amount of soot deposited on the target decreases.
 一方、第2領域から射出される窒素ガスの流速を大きくすれば、第1領域よりも外側にスートが拡散することが低減可能であると考えられる。しかし、窒素ガスの流速を大きくした場合、ガスの流れによってスートの温度が低くなり、ターゲットにスートが付着せずにスートの堆積量が減ることが懸念される。 On the other hand, if the flow rate of the nitrogen gas injected from the second region is increased, it is considered that soot diffusion outside the first region can be reduced. However, when the flow rate of nitrogen gas is increased, the soot temperature is lowered by the gas flow, and there is a concern that the amount of soot deposited may be reduced without the soot adhering to the target.
 そこで、本発明は、効率良くスートを堆積させ得る多重管バーナを提供するものである。 Therefore, the present invention provides a multi-tube burner capable of depositing soot efficiently.
 上記課題を解決するため、本発明の多重管バーナは、原料ガスを流す原料ガス管と、可燃性ガスを流す可燃性ガス管と、助燃性ガスを流す第1助燃性ガス管と、を備え、前記原料ガス管の射出ポート及び前記第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートは、前記可燃性ガス管の射出ポートの内側に配置され、前記第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートは、前記原料ガス管の射出ポートを囲むように配置されることを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, a multi-tube burner of the present invention includes a raw material gas pipe for flowing a raw material gas, a flammable gas pipe for flowing a flammable gas, and a first auxiliary flammable gas pipe for flowing a flammable gas. The injection port of the raw material gas pipe and the injection port of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe are disposed inside the injection port of the combustible gas pipe, and the injection port of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe is the raw material gas. It is arranged to surround the injection port of the tube.
 このような多重管バーナによれば、助燃性ガスの内側で原料ガスが射出され、その助燃性ガス及び原料ガスを囲むように可燃性ガスが射出される。このため、助燃性ガスが原料ガスの拡散を抑える壁のように作用し、助燃性ガスの内側に原料ガスを閉じ込め易くなる。従って、スートが外側に拡散することを低減することができる。このようにスートが拡散することを抑制して、ターゲットに堆積するスートの堆積量の減少を抑制することができる。
 また、第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートと原料ガス管の射出ポートとが別々に配置されているため、ガスの流速を個別に設定することが可能となる。従って、原料ガス量が増加することで火炎の広がりが大きくなっても、その広がった火炎によりスートが外側に拡散しないように第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートから射出する助燃性ガスの流速を調整することができる。これにより、可燃性ガスの流速をさほど大きくしなくてもすみ、ガスの流れによりスートの温度が低くなることでターゲットにスートが付着しにくくなることを低減できる。この結果、ターゲットに堆積するスートの堆積量の減少を抑制することができる。
 このように本発明の多重管バーナによれば、単位原料ガス当たりのスートの堆積量を増加し得る。こうして、効率良くスートを堆積させることができる。
According to such a multi-tube burner, the raw material gas is injected inside the auxiliary combustion gas, and the combustible gas is injected so as to surround the auxiliary combustion gas and the raw material gas. For this reason, the auxiliary combustion gas acts like a wall that suppresses the diffusion of the raw material gas, and the raw material gas is easily confined inside the auxiliary combustion gas. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the outward diffusion of the soot. Thus, it is possible to suppress the soot from diffusing, and to suppress a decrease in the amount of soot deposited on the target.
Further, since the injection port of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe and the injection port of the raw material gas pipe are separately arranged, the gas flow rate can be set individually. Therefore, even if the spread of the flame increases as the amount of the raw material gas increases, the flow rate of the auxiliary combustion gas injected from the injection port of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe is set so that the soot does not diffuse outward due to the expanded flame. Can be adjusted. Thus, the flow rate of the combustible gas does not need to be increased so much that the soot temperature is lowered by the gas flow, so that it is difficult for the soot to adhere to the target. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of soot deposited on the target.
Thus, according to the multi-tube burner of the present invention, the amount of soot deposited per unit raw material gas can be increased. Thus, soot can be deposited efficiently.
 また、前記助燃性ガスを流す第2助燃性ガス管をさらに備え、前記第2助燃性ガス管の射出ポートは、前記可燃性ガス管の射出ポートよりも内側における前記第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートよりも外側に配置されることが好ましい。 The second auxiliary combustible gas pipe further flows a second auxiliary combustible gas pipe, and an injection port of the second auxiliary combustible gas pipe is an inner side of the injection port of the combustible gas pipe. It is preferable that it is arranged outside the injection port.
 このようにすれば、より効率的に可燃性ガスを燃焼させることができ、ターゲットに堆積したスートの温度をコントロールすることができる。また、助燃性ガスが原料ガスを二重に囲うため、助燃性ガスの内側に原料ガスをより閉じ込め易くすることができる。 In this way, the combustible gas can be burned more efficiently and the temperature of the soot deposited on the target can be controlled. Moreover, since the auxiliary combustion gas doubles the raw material gas, the raw material gas can be more easily confined inside the auxiliary combustion gas.
 また、シールガスを流す第1シールガス管をさらに備え、前記原料ガス管の射出ポートは、前記第1シールガス管の射出ポートの内側に配置され、前記第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートは、前記第1シールガス管の射出ポートを囲むように配置されることが好ましい。 In addition, a first seal gas pipe for flowing a seal gas is further provided, the injection port of the raw material gas pipe is disposed inside the injection port of the first seal gas pipe, and the injection port of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe is The first sealing gas pipe is preferably disposed so as to surround the injection port.
 このようにすれば、原料ガスが外側に拡散することを抑制することができるとともに、原料ガスの射出ポート及び可燃性ガスの射出ポートから射出される原料ガスと可燃性ガスとの反応位置をシールガスの流速等により調整することができる。従って、スートが外側に拡散することをより一段と低減することができるとともに、ターゲットの適切な範囲にスートを堆積させることができる。 In this way, the raw material gas can be prevented from diffusing outward, and the reaction position between the raw material gas and the combustible gas injected from the raw material gas injection port and the combustible gas injection port is sealed. It can be adjusted by the gas flow rate or the like. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the soot from diffusing to the outside, and to deposit the soot on an appropriate range of the target.
 また、前記原料ガス管を流れる前記原料ガスの流速と前記第1助燃性ガス管を流れる前記助燃性ガスの流速との比は、0.35~0.75の範囲内であることが好ましい。 Further, the ratio of the flow rate of the raw material gas flowing through the raw material gas tube and the flow rate of the auxiliary combustible gas flowing through the first auxiliary combustion gas tube is preferably within a range of 0.35 to 0.75.
 このようにすれば、原料に含まれるSi原子すべてがスート(SiO)となってターゲットに付着した場合の堆積効率を100%とした場合に、原料ガスの流量が所定の範囲内で変化しても、50%以上の堆積効率を確保することができる。 In this way, the flow rate of the raw material gas changes within a predetermined range when the deposition efficiency is 100% when all Si atoms contained in the raw material become soot (SiO 2 ) and adhere to the target. However, the deposition efficiency of 50% or more can be ensured.
 また、前記比は、0.4~0.75の範囲内であることが好ましい。 The ratio is preferably in the range of 0.4 to 0.75.
 このようにすれば、原料に含まれるSi原子すべてがスート(SiO)となってターゲットに付着した場合の堆積効率を100%とした場合に、原料ガスの流量が所定の範囲内で変化しても、70%以上の堆積効率を確保することができる。 In this way, the flow rate of the raw material gas changes within a predetermined range when the deposition efficiency is 100% when all Si atoms contained in the raw material become soot (SiO 2 ) and adhere to the target. However, it is possible to ensure a deposition efficiency of 70% or more.
 また、前記原料ガス管の射出ポートは、前記第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートの内側に配置され、前記第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートは前記原料ガス管の射出ポートを全周に渡って囲むことが好ましい。 In addition, the injection port of the raw material gas pipe is disposed inside the injection port of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe, and the injection port of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe extends over the entire circumference of the injection port of the raw material gas pipe. It is preferable to surround.
 このように第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートが原料ガス管の射出ポートを囲むことで、第1助燃性ガス管の射出ポートの射出領域が原料ガス管の射出ポートの外側を全周にわたって囲うこととなる。このため、助燃性ガスによって原料ガスの拡散をより一段と抑えることができると共に、周方向に均一な燃焼に近づけることができ、スートの発生を周方向において均一に近づけることができる。 In this way, the injection port of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe surrounds the injection port of the raw material gas pipe, so that the injection region of the injection port of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe surrounds the outer periphery of the injection port of the raw material gas pipe over the entire circumference. It will be. For this reason, the diffusion of the raw material gas can be further suppressed by the auxiliary combustion gas, the combustion can be made uniform in the circumferential direction, and the soot generation can be made uniform in the circumferential direction.
 また、前記第1助燃性ガス管を複数有し、複数の前記第1助燃性ガス管のそれぞれの射出ポートは、前記原料ガス管の射出ポートの周囲に所定間隔ごとに配置されるようにすることも可能である。この場合、多重管バーナの作製を容易にすることができる。 In addition, a plurality of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipes are provided, and the injection ports of the plurality of first auxiliary combustion gas pipes are arranged at predetermined intervals around the injection port of the raw material gas pipe. It is also possible. In this case, the production of the multi-tube burner can be facilitated.
 以上のように、本発明によれば、効率良くスートを堆積させ得る多重管バーナが提供される。 As described above, according to the present invention, a multi-tube burner capable of efficiently depositing soot is provided.

Further, the area of the injection region AR4 of the combustible gas is larger than the area of the injection region AR2 of the seal gas that combines the injection port 12A of the first seal gas pipe 12 and the injection port 16A of the second seal gas pipe 16. Has been. In addition, compared to the area of the injection region AR3 of the auxiliary combustion gas, which includes the injection ports 13A of the plurality of first auxiliary combustion gas pipes 13 and the injection ports 14A of the plurality of second auxiliary combustion gas pipes 14, The area of the combustible gas injection area AR4 is increased. These injection regions AR1 to AR4 are regions where gas is injected, and the combustible gas injection region AR4 includes the outer periphery of each injection port 13A of the first auxiliary combustible gas tube 13 and the second auxiliary combustible gas tube. The outer periphery of each of the 14 injection ports 14A and the outer periphery of the injection port 12A of the first seal gas pipe 12 are surrounded over the entire periphery.
 次に多重管バーナ1によるガスの燃焼とスートの生成について説明する。可燃性ガス管15の射出ポート15Aから射出される可燃性ガスは、第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aから射出される助燃性ガスとともに燃焼する。この燃焼火炎内で、原料ガス管11の射出ポート11Aから射出される原料ガスの燃焼反応によりスートが生成される。そして、生成されたスートがターゲットに堆積する。 Next, gas combustion and soot generation by the multi-tube burner 1 will be described. The combustible gas injected from the injection port 15 </ b> A of the combustible gas pipe 15 burns together with the auxiliary combustible gas injected from the injection port 13 </ b> A of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe 13. In this combustion flame, soot is generated by the combustion reaction of the raw material gas injected from the injection port 11A of the raw material gas pipe 11. Then, the generated soot is deposited on the target.
 このとき、第2助燃性ガス管14の射出ポート14Aから射出される助燃性ガスによってターゲットに堆積したスートの温度がコントロールされる。具体的には、第2助燃性ガス管14の射出ポート14Aから射出される助燃性ガスが可燃性ガスと共に燃焼することで、温度を高くすることができる。また、第1シールガス管12の射出ポート12Aから射出されるシールガスによって原料ガスが外側に拡散することを抑制することができると共に、当該シールガスの流速等によって原料ガスと可燃性ガスとの反応位置を調整することができる。さらに、第2シールガス管16の射出ポート16Aから射出されるシールガスによって火炎が広がることを抑制することができ、さらに、シールガスの周りの気体に可燃性ガスが触れることを抑制することができる。 At this time, the temperature of the soot deposited on the target is controlled by the auxiliary combustion gas injected from the injection port 14A of the second auxiliary combustion gas pipe 14. Specifically, the temperature of the auxiliary combustion gas injected from the injection port 14A of the second auxiliary combustion gas pipe 14 is combusted with the combustible gas, so that the temperature can be increased. Further, the raw material gas can be prevented from diffusing outside by the seal gas injected from the injection port 12A of the first seal gas pipe 12, and the raw material gas and the flammable gas can be reduced depending on the flow rate of the seal gas. The reaction position can be adjusted. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the flame from spreading due to the seal gas injected from the injection port 16A of the second seal gas pipe 16, and to further prevent the combustible gas from touching the gas around the seal gas. it can.
 以上のように本実施形態に係る多重管バーナ1では、原料ガス管11の射出ポート11A及び第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aが、可燃性ガス管15の射出ポート15Aの内側に配置されている。また、第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aは、第1シールガス管12の射出ポート12Aを介して、原料ガス管11の射出ポート11Aを囲むように配置されている。 As described above, in the multi-tube burner 1 according to the present embodiment, the injection port 11A of the source gas pipe 11 and the injection port 13A of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe 13 are arranged inside the injection port 15A of the combustible gas pipe 15. Has been. Further, the injection port 13A of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe 13 is disposed so as to surround the injection port 11A of the raw material gas pipe 11 via the injection port 12A of the first seal gas pipe 12.
 このような多重管バーナ1によれば、助燃性ガスの内側で原料ガスが射出され、その助燃性ガス及び原料ガスを囲むように可燃性ガスが射出される。このため、助燃性ガスが原料ガスの拡散を抑える壁のように作用して、助燃性ガスの内側に原料ガスを閉じ込め易くすることができる。従って、スートが外側に拡散することを低減することができる。これによりスートが拡散することでターゲットに堆積するスートの堆積量の減少を抑制することができる。 According to such a multi-tube burner 1, the raw material gas is injected inside the auxiliary combustion gas, and the inflammable gas is injected so as to surround the auxiliary combustion gas and the raw material gas. Therefore, the auxiliary gas acts like a wall that suppresses the diffusion of the raw material gas, so that the raw material gas can be easily confined inside the auxiliary gas. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the outward diffusion of the soot. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of soot deposited on the target due to the diffusion of soot.
 また、第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aと原料ガス管11の射出ポート11Aとが別々に配置されているため、ガスの流速を個別に設定することが可能となる。従って、原料ガス量が増加することで火炎が大きくなっても、大きくなった火炎によりスートが外側に拡散しないように第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aから射出する助燃性ガスの流速を調整することができる。これにより、可燃性ガスの流速をさほど大きくしなくても良いので、ガスの流れによりスートの温度が低くなることでターゲットにスートが付着しにくくなることを低減できる。この結果、ターゲットに堆積するスートの堆積量の減少を抑制することができる。なお、原料ガスと可燃性ガスとの流速を個々に調整可能になるので、原料ガス量の増減に応じて最適な堆積効率を調整することもできる。 Further, since the injection port 13A of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe 13 and the injection port 11A of the raw material gas pipe 11 are arranged separately, the gas flow rate can be set individually. Therefore, the flow rate of the auxiliary combustible gas injected from the injection port 13A of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe 13 is set so that the soot does not diffuse to the outside due to the enlarged flame even if the flame becomes larger due to the increase in the amount of raw material gas. Can be adjusted. Accordingly, the flow rate of the combustible gas does not need to be increased so much that the soot temperature is lowered by the gas flow, so that it is difficult for the soot to adhere to the target. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of soot deposited on the target. Note that since the flow rates of the source gas and the combustible gas can be individually adjusted, the optimum deposition efficiency can be adjusted according to the increase or decrease in the amount of the source gas.
 このように本実施形態に係る多重管バーナ1によれば、単位原料ガス当たりのスートの堆積量を増加し得る。こうして、効率良くスートを堆積させることができる。 Thus, according to the multi-tube burner 1 according to the present embodiment, the amount of soot deposited per unit raw material gas can be increased. Thus, soot can be deposited efficiently.
 また、本実施形態の多重管バーナ1は、助燃性ガスを流す第2助燃性ガス管14をさらに備えている。この第2助燃性ガス管14の射出ポート14Aは、可燃性ガス管15の射出ポート15Aよりも内側に配置され、第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aよりも外側に配置されている。このため、より効率的に可燃性ガスを燃焼させることができ、ターゲットに堆積したスートの温度をコントロールすることができる。また、助燃性ガスが原料ガスを二重に囲うので、助燃性ガスの内側に原料ガスをより閉じ込め易くすることができる。 Moreover, the multi-tube burner 1 of the present embodiment further includes a second auxiliary combustible gas pipe 14 through which auxiliary gas flows. The injection port 14 </ b> A of the second auxiliary combustible gas pipe 14 is disposed on the inner side of the injection port 15 </ b> A of the combustible gas pipe 15, and is disposed on the outer side of the injection port 13 </ b> A of the first auxiliary combustible gas pipe 13. For this reason, combustible gas can be burned more efficiently and the temperature of the soot deposited on the target can be controlled. Moreover, since the auxiliary combustion gas doubles the raw material gas, the raw material gas can be more easily confined inside the auxiliary combustion gas.
 さらに、本実施形態の多重管バーナ1は、シールガスを流す第1シールガス管12をさらに備え、この第1シールガス管12の射出ポート12Aの内側に原料ガス管11の射出ポート11Aが配置されている。このため、原料ガスが外側に拡散することを抑制することができるとともに、射出ポート11A,15Aから射出される原料ガスと可燃性ガスとの反応位置をシールガスの流速等により調整することができる。従って、スートが外側に拡散することをより一段と低減することができ、ターゲットの適切な範囲にスートを堆積させることができる。 Furthermore, the multi-tube burner 1 of the present embodiment further includes a first seal gas pipe 12 through which a seal gas flows, and an injection port 11A of the source gas pipe 11 is disposed inside the injection port 12A of the first seal gas pipe 12. Has been. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the diffusion of the raw material gas to the outside, and it is possible to adjust the reaction position between the raw material gas injected from the injection ports 11A and 15A and the combustible gas by the flow rate of the seal gas. . Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the soot from diffusing outward, and it is possible to deposit the soot on an appropriate range of the target.
 また、本実施形態の多重管バーナ1は、可燃性ガス管15の射出ポート15Aの外周を囲うように第2シールガス管16の射出ポート16Aが配置されている。従って、火炎が大きく広がることを抑制することができ、ターゲットのより適切な範囲にスートを堆積させることができる。 Further, in the multiple tube burner 1 of the present embodiment, the injection port 16A of the second seal gas pipe 16 is disposed so as to surround the outer periphery of the injection port 15A of the combustible gas pipe 15. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the flame from spreading greatly, and soot can be deposited in a more appropriate range of the target.

The flow rate of the raw material gas was changed from 20 m / s to 35 m / s, and the flow rate of the auxiliary combustible gas was changed from 10 m / s to 20 m / s.
 なお、原料ガスの流速は助燃性ガスの流速と所定の比率になるように変化させた。また、可燃性ガスの流速は0.15m/sで固定とした。さらに、第2助燃性ガス管14の射出ポート14Aの直径は第1助燃性ガス管13の射出ポート13Aと同じとし、第2助燃性ガス管14を流れる助燃性ガスの流速は第1助燃性ガス管13を流れる流速と同じとしている。さらに、シールガスの流速は0.3m/sで固定とした。 Note that the flow rate of the raw material gas was changed to a predetermined ratio with the flow rate of the auxiliary combustible gas. The flow rate of the combustible gas was fixed at 0.15 m / s. Furthermore, the diameter of the injection port 14A of the second auxiliary combustion gas pipe 14 is the same as the injection port 13A of the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe 13, and the flow rate of the auxiliary combustion gas flowing through the second auxiliary combustion gas pipe 14 is the first auxiliary combustion property. The flow velocity is the same as that flowing through the gas pipe 13. Furthermore, the flow rate of the seal gas was fixed at 0.3 m / s.
 図3は、実施例1におけるガスの流速比と堆積効率との関係を示すグラフである。図3に示すように、原料ガスの流速に対する助燃性ガスの流速の比率(流速比)が0.35~0.75の範囲内である場合、堆積効率は0.5以上となった。また、流速比が0.4~0.75の範囲内である場合、堆積効率は0.7以上となった。 FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the gas flow rate ratio and the deposition efficiency in Example 1. As shown in FIG. 3, when the ratio of the flow rate of the auxiliary combustible gas to the flow rate of the raw material gas (flow rate ratio) is in the range of 0.35 to 0.75, the deposition efficiency is 0.5 or more. In addition, when the flow rate ratio was within the range of 0.4 to 0.75, the deposition efficiency was 0.7 or more.
 このように、流速比が0.35~0.75の範囲内であれば、原料ガスの流量が20g/min~38g/minの範囲内で変化しても、50%以上の堆積効率を確保することができることが確認できた。また、流速比が0.4~0.75の範囲内であれば、原料ガスの流量が20g/min~38g/minの範囲内で変化しても、70%以上の堆積効率を確保することができることが確認できた。 Thus, if the flow rate ratio is within the range of 0.35 to 0.75, even if the flow rate of the source gas changes within the range of 20 g / min to 38 g / min, a deposition efficiency of 50% or more is secured. I can confirm that I can do it. Further, if the flow rate ratio is in the range of 0.4 to 0.75, even if the flow rate of the raw material gas is changed in the range of 20 g / min to 38 g / min, it is possible to ensure a deposition efficiency of 70% or more. I was able to confirm.
(実施例2)
 原料ガス管の射出ポートの直径を2.8mmとし、その他は実施例1と同じ条件で、原料ガス管に流す原料ガスの流速と第1助燃性ガス管に流す助燃性ガスの流速を変化させたときのスートの堆積効率を測定した。
(Example 2)
The diameter of the injection port of the raw material gas pipe is 2.8 mm, and the other conditions are the same as in Example 1 except that the flow rate of the raw material gas flowing through the raw material gas pipe and the flow rate of the auxiliary combustion gas flowing through the first auxiliary combustion gas pipe are changed. The deposition efficiency of soot was measured.
 図4は、実施例2におけるガスの流速比と堆積効率との関係を示すグラフである。図4に示すように、原料ガスの流速に対する助燃性ガスの流速の比率(流速比)が0.35~0.75の範囲内である場合、実施例1と同様に、堆積効率は0.5以上となった。また、流速比が0.4~0.75の範囲内である場合、実施例1と同様に、堆積効率は0.7以上となった。 FIG. 4 is a graph showing the relationship between the gas flow rate ratio and the deposition efficiency in Example 2. As shown in FIG. 4, when the ratio of the flow rate of the auxiliary combustible gas to the flow rate of the raw material gas (flow rate ratio) is within the range of 0.35 to 0.75, the deposition efficiency is 0. It became 5 or more. When the flow rate ratio was in the range of 0.4 to 0.75, the deposition efficiency was 0.7 or more, as in Example 1.
 このように、原料ガス管の射出ポートの直径が小さい場合にも、実施例1と同じように堆積効率を確保することができることが確認できた。なお、この堆積効率には、原料ガスの流速と第1助燃性ガス管を流れる助燃性ガスの流速との比が主に寄与すると考えられる。例えば、シールガスを用い無い場合には、シールガスを用いる場合よりも原料ガスが拡散してスートが堆積する範囲が広くなる傾向にあるが、堆積効率への影響は上記原料ガスの流速に対する助燃性ガスの流速の比率の影響と比べれば小さいと考えられる。 Thus, even when the diameter of the injection port of the raw material gas pipe was small, it was confirmed that the deposition efficiency could be secured in the same manner as in Example 1. In addition, it is thought that ratio of the flow rate of raw material gas and the flow rate of the auxiliary combustion gas which flows through a 1st auxiliary combustion gas pipe | tube mainly contributes to this deposition efficiency. For example, when the seal gas is not used, the range in which the source gas diffuses and soot accumulates tends to be wider than when the seal gas is used, but the effect on the deposition efficiency is an auxiliary combustion for the flow rate of the source gas. This is considered to be small compared with the influence of the ratio of the flow rate of the sex gas.
 以上説明したように、本発明によれば、効率良くスートを堆積させ得る多重管バーナが提供され、光ファイバを製造する産業等において利用することができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, a multi-tube burner capable of efficiently depositing soot is provided, and can be used in industries for manufacturing optical fibers.
