Abstract
In a known method for heating an industrial furnace by pulsating combustion, gaseous or liquid reactants, comprising an oxidizing agent and fuel, are fed to a burner (3), with the volumetric flow of at least one of the reactants which emerges from the burner mouth (7) being changed over the course of time. On this basis, to provide a method which allows a simple and flexible change to the flow during pulsating combustion, according to the invention it is proposed that the change in the volumetric flow of the reactant over the course of time is generated by electrical actuation imparting deflections to at least one membrane (14) in a membrane space (13) which is connected upstream of the burner mouth (3) and is accessible to the reactant, which deflections cause changes to the volume of the membrane space. A low maintenance apparatus of simple design which is suitable for carrying out the method is distinguished by the fact that the device for varying the volumetric flow over the course of time comprises at least one membrane (14), which is arranged in a membrane space (13) that is connected upstream of the burner (3) and is accessible to the reactant, and on which deflections can be imposed by means of an electrical actuation, which deflections cause a change in the volume of the membrane space (13).
Description
- The present invention relates to a method for heating an industrial furnace by pulsating combustion, in which gaseous or liquid reactants, comprising an oxidizing agent and fuel, are fed to a burner, the volumetric flow of at least one of the reactants which emerges from the burner mouth being changed over the course of time.
- Furthermore, the invention relates to an apparatus for heating an industrial furnace by pulsating combustion, having a burner, which includes feed lines for streams of gaseous or liquid reactants leading to a burner mouth, and having a device for varying the volumetric flow of at least one of the reactants over the course of time.
- It is generally known to use fuel/oxygen burners in industrial furnaces for heating metal or glass melts. Compared to melting methods in which the oxidizing agent used is air, the use of oxygen increases the melting power of the furnace and reduces the energy consumption. The fuel saving is mainly based on the fact that the nitrogen content of the air does not have to be heated. The smaller quantities of off-gas which result reduce the overall size of off-gas purification installations.
- The overall quantity of NOx can be reduced considerably by the use of pure oxygen and fuel without any nitrogen. However, in industrial application, both the oxygen and the fuel may contain small quantities of nitrogen. These small quantities of nitrogen, in combination with the combustion using oxygen being hotter than combustion using air, at around 900° C., lead to an increased level of NOx in the off-gas.
- To avoid this, it is proposed in DE 692 16 317 T2, which has disclosed a method and an apparatus of the generic type described in the introduction, to cyclically vary either the quantitative flows of the fuel or those of the oxidizing agent using a solenoid valve which is arranged in the respective feed line, at a frequency of below 3 Hz. A similar concept using a solenoid valve is to be found in DE 693 02 060 T2. SU 857 642 proposes that the gas stream be periodically interrupted with the aid of a rotor.
- The known procedures require the use of mechanical, moving components, such as valves, control flaps, rotors or the like, and complex measurement and control technology to effect the pulsating combustion. An additional factor is that the previous solutions are somewhat inflexible with regard to changing the frequency or amplitude of the pulsation. For example, control by means of solenoid valves only allows on and off states but does not permit any intermediate states. It is also only possible to change the pulsation frequency to a limited extent, for example depending on the switching speed of the solenoid valves. Furthermore, the service life of solenoid valves is restricted to approximately 10 000 000 switching operations, which at a switching frequency of, for example, 1 Hz corresponds to a service life of approximately 6 months, which in practice leads to short maintenance intervals which are barely acceptable.
- Therefore, the invention is based on the object of providing a method which allows a simple and flexible change to the flow during pulsating combustion.
- Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of providing a low-maintenance apparatus of simple design which is suitable for carrying out the method.
- With regard to the method, according to the invention this object is achieved, based on the method described in the introduction, by virtue of the fact that the change in the volumetric flow of the reactant over the course of time is generated by electrical actuation imparting deflections to at least one membrane in a membrane space which is connected upstream of the burner mouth and is accessible to the reactant, which deflections cause changes to the volume of the membrane space.
- In the method according to the invention, the volumetric flow of at least one of the reactants involved in the combustion reaction—i.e. the fuel gas or the oxidizing agent—is varied over the course of time by causing at least one membrane to deflect. The membrane is arranged in a membrane space which is fluid-connected to the feed of the respective reactant to the burner and is therefore accessible to the reactant. The membrane space allows the membrane arranged in it to be deflected as far as possible without obstacle. The membrane space and the membrane arranged in it are also referred to below as a “membrane module”.
- In the membrane space, the membrane is deflected by electrical actuation in the presence of the reactant in question, and in this way the electrical power is converted into changes in volume—associated with changes in pressure—in the membrane space, as is generally known for loudspeakers.
- The constructions and principles of operation which are known for loudspeaker construction, involving a vibrating membrane and excitation means, are fundamentally also suitable for generating the change in volume in the flow of reactant in the context of the method according to the invention. Examples which may be mentioned include electrodynamic loudspeakers, electrostatic loudspeakers, ferroelectric loudspeakers, magnetic loudspeakers or ultrasonic loudspeakers. Designs without a mechanical membrane, as used for ion or plasma loudspeakers, in which the surrounding atmosphere is excited by modulated high voltage, so that the resulting local ionization causes thermal expansion and therefore sound pressure, are in principle also suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- The changes in volume of the membrane space are determined by frequency, amplitude and profile of the change in the volumetric flow of the reactant at the burner mouth over the course of time. Therefore, the method according to the invention, by virtue of the electrically excited deflection of the membrane, allows the flow of the reactant to be changed without this requiring any moving or rotating components, apart from the membrane. The membrane itself is subject to very little wear, and consequently a long service life and long maintenance intervals can be achieved.
- Furthermore, the change in the volumetric flow of the reactant(s), in addition to the on and off states, may also encompass any desired intermediate values for the maximum amplitude or a predetermined volumetric flow profile over the course of time, such as for example a square-wave, sawtooth, sinusoidal or trapezoidal profile. Equipping the supply lines for both the fuel and the oxidizing agent with membrane modules of this type also makes it readily possible to vary the volumetric flow of both reactants, for example independently of one another over the course of time or as a function of one another over the course of time, for example in-phase, in opposite phase or in phase-shifted fashion. The method according to the invention allows a preset time profile, for example a square-wave profile, to be accurately maintained without significant dead times or slippages.
- The additional design outlay required for this type of configuration of a burner is only slight; it is even possible for an existing burner to be retrofitted without major outlay, in which case a corresponding membrane module with actuation is incorporated into the existing feed line.
- It has proven particularly appropriate for the electrical actuation to be effected by means of an electromagnet, by the latter acting on the membrane or on a ferromagnetic body connected to the membrane.
- This is a simple design principle for the membrane module, as is known, for example, for conventional ferroelectric loudspeakers. The amplitude and frequency of the membrane oscillation are in this case predetermined by electrical pulses of the electromagnet. Membrane modules of this type are distinguished by being robust and operationally reliable.
- It is advantageous for the electrical actuation of the membrane to comprise a control unit.
- The change in the volume of the gas stream of the relevant reactant or reactants over the course of time can be set and controlled in a particularly simple way by means of the control unit. Predetermined deflection cycles can be passed through under programme control and are easy to adapt if necessary.
- It has proven particularly favourable for the back-flow of the reactant out of the membrane space to be avoided or reduced by means of a restricting device provided in the reactant feed.
- The restricting device prevents or reduces a back-flow of the reactant. This measure ensures that the changes in volume produced in the membrane space act in the direction of the burner mouth and not, or to a lesser extent, “towards the rear” in the direction of the source of the reactant in question. This effect of the restricting device becomes more effective the closer to the membrane space it occurs.
- Valves, flaps, throttles or diaphragms can be used as the restricting device. However, moving mechanical components should as far as possible be avoided, and consequently it is preferable for the restricting device to be designed as a throttle or diaphragm.
- The throttle or diaphragm is in this case installed in the feed line, as close as possible to the entry to the membrane space. This results in a pressure drop in the direction of the membrane space, which prevents a back-flow of the reactant and promotes an effective change in the volume in the direction of the burner mouth. This measure converts the change in the volume of the membrane space into a change in the flow or velocity of the reactant at the burner mouth without attenuation and in a simple, rapid and particularly effective way without the need for moving parts.
- The method according to the invention allows a constant volumetric flow of the reactant upstream of the restricting device.
- According to the invention, it is not the volumetric flow of the reactant upstream of the restricting device which is varied over the course of time, but rather a change in volume is imposed on the flow, which has been constant up to that point, purely by the movement of the membrane, resulting in a change in the velocity at which the reactant flows out at the burner mouth over the course of time. A constant volumetric flow as far as the restricting device is simple to implement; it is therefore possible to dispense with mechanical components or change in the volumetric flow, such as valves or the like.
- In a particularly preferred method variant, a minimum level for the volumetric flow of the reactant, which the volumetric flow does not drop below at any time even when the volumetric flow is changing, is predetermined.
- In this case, a base load is predetermined as a partial quantity of the total volumetric flow of the corresponding reactant, and the volumetric flow does not drop below this partial quantity at any time even during a change in the volumetric flow. In the simplest case, this is achieved by a bypass parallel to the membrane space.
- On account of the variation in the volumetric flow of the reactants or a reactant over the course of time, pressure fluctuations may occur in the furnace space, which can lead to the ingress of external air and therefore accordingly to a rise in the emission of NOx. This is prevented if the load level does not drop below the predetermined base load of the reactant or if—ideally—a pressure drop in the furnace space is avoided.
- In this respect, it has proven particularly appropriate if at least two burners are provided for heating the industrial furnace, with the volumetric flow of the reactant to one burner being changed in the opposite phase to the volumetric flow of the reactant to the other burner.
- As a result of the volumetric flow to the two burners, which may, for example, be arranged opposite and offset with respect to one another in the furnace space, being changed in opposite phase, an approximately constant pressure is always maintained in the furnace space, so that there is no risk of the admission of external air. This effect can be achieved even if the volumetric flows of a plurality of pairs of burners change in opposite phase.
- In this context, it has proven particularly advantageous for the membrane spaces of the two burners to be arranged adjacent to one another and to be separated from one another by a common membrane.
- On account of the fact that the membrane spaces of the two burners share one membrane, the volumetric flows of the reactant can be changed in opposite phase without the need for a separate control device. The membrane divides the membrane spaces on both sides, so that even in the event of a defect in the membrane, there is no leakage into the environment, but rather it is only the pulsating combustion which is disrupted. This improves the operational reliability of the apparatus.
- It has proven particularly expedient for the volumetric flow of the fuel at the burner mouth to be changed.
- In this case, it is preferable for the volumetric flow of the oxidizing agent to be kept constant.
- With regard to the apparatus, the object referred to above is achieved, according to the invention, starting from an apparatus of the generic type described in the introduction, by virtue of the fact that the device for varying the volumetric flow over the course of time comprises at least one membrane, which is arranged in a membrane space that is connected upstream of the burner and is accessible to the reactant, and on which deflections can be imposed by means of an electrical actuation, which deflections cause a change in the volume of the membrane space.
- The apparatus according to the invention comprises a membrane, which can be deflected and is mounted such that it can oscillate, and an electrical actuation, which can be used to mechanically deflect the membrane. The change in the volumetric flow of at least one of the reactants involved in the combustion reaction i.e. the fuel gas and/or the oxidizing agent—is brought about by means of the membrane deflection. For this purpose, there is a membrane space which is accessible to the reactant in question and in the simplest case is arranged in the feed line for the respective reactant in the vicinity of the burner mouth.
- The membrane and the excitation means are correspondingly made to match the designs which are standard in loudspeaker construction. In this respect, reference is made to the explanations given above in connection with the method according to the invention.
- The apparatus according to the invention, by electrically exciting the membrane, allows virtually any desired, predetermined change in the volumetric flow of the reactant over the course of time without requiring any moving parts, apart from the membrane. The membrane itself is subject to very little wear, and consequently a long service life and long apparatus maintenance intervals can be achieved.
- Furthermore, in addition to the on and off states, the change in the volumetric flow of the reactant(s) may also include any desired intermediate values between zero and the maximum amplitude or a predetermined volumetric flow profile over the course of time, such as for example a square-wave, sawtooth, sinusoidal or trapezoidal volumetric flow profile. It is also possible for the volumetric flows of fuel and oxidizing agent to be varied independently of one another by equipping the supply lines for both fuel and oxidizing agent with membrane modules of this type; by way of example, these volumetric flows can be varied in-phase, in opposite phase or in phase-shifted fashion.
- The outlay involved in providing a burner with this equipment is low, and even retrofitting an existing burner by incorporating a suitable membrane module in combination with an electrical actuation into the existing gas line does not require major structural outlay.
- Advantageous configurations of the apparatus according to the invention will emerge from the subclaims. Where configurations of the apparatus mentioned in the subclaims correspond to the method procedures described in subclaims relating to the method according to the invention, reference is made, for additional explanation, to the statements given above in connection with the corresponding method claims.

The feed connection pieces for natural gas and oxygen are denoted byreference numerals - To generate pulsating combustion, a change in volume is imparted to one or both gas streams (oxygen and natural gas). For this purpose,
membrane modules feed lines 9 for natural gas and 10 for oxygen, respectively. - These membrane modules in each case comprise a
membrane space 13, in which two electrodynamic loudspeakers each having amembrane 14 are mounted opposite one another. Themembranes 14 each comprise a gastight, stretchable material and deflections are imparted to them in phase by means of anelectromagnet 15. That side of themembrane 14 which is remote from themembrane space 13 is located in the open atmosphere. - The parameters for the change in volume inside the
membrane space 13, such as frequency, amplitude or phase shift between the two reactants of thesame burner 3 or another of theburners control module 16 for bothmembrane modules diaphragm 17 is fitted in thefeed line respective membrane space 13. - The text which follows provides a more detailed explanation of the method according to the invention by way of example with reference to the tube-in-
tube burner 3 in theglass melting tank 1 which is diagrammatically depicted inFIG. 1 . - Each of the
burners - The change in the volumetric flow of the natural gas emerging at the
burner mouth 7 by means of themembrane module 11 is effected by deflections being imposed on themembrane 14 by means of thecontrol module 16, which deflections cause a volumetric flow which changes over the course of time with a frequency of, for example, 1 Hz. The time profile of the volumetric change produced in this way has a precise square-wave profile. The changes in volume cause changes in through-flow, which continue via themembrane space 13 into theinner tube 4 as far as theburner mouth 7 and as a result cause a variable flow velocity of the natural gas at theburner mouth 7. - The size and displacement of the
membrane 14 and the volume of themembrane space 13 are designed in such a way that the natural-gas volumetric flow of 40 m3/h can be completely switched on and off at a frequency of 1 Hz, so that a mean volumetric flow of 20 m3/h (s.t.p.) results. Thediaphragm 17 prevents the natural gas from flowing back into the natural-gas feed line 9 and in this way ensures that the change in volume generated by themembrane 14 acts entirely as a change in the volumetric flow of natural gas at theburner mouth 7. - The profile of the deliberately altered volumetric flow of natural gas over the course of time ideally has a square-wave profile, as is diagrammatically depicted in
FIG. 2 a). - To minimize pressure fluctuations within the
glass melting tank 1 and the ingress of external air, themembrane modules 11 of a pair of burners in each case operate in opposite phase. The pressure profile at the burner 3 (and at theburner 3 a) is in opposite phase to the pressure profile at theburner 3 c (and at theburner 3 b). Compared to normal operation, pulsating combustion of this type reduces the NOx emission level by 30%, without any adverse effect on the radiation properties of the flame. A similar effect results if the membrane modules of twoadjacent burners FIGS. 2 to 5 diagrammatically depict further suitable procedures for pulsating combustion in accordance with the invention. -
FIG. 2 shows a square-wave (a), sawtooth (b), sinusoidal (c), trapezoidal (d) and a freely selectable or random (e) change in volumetric flow. All the through-flows illustrated are in the positive range, i.e. the volumetric flow which results is at all times higher than a predetermined minimum base load. - The change in volumetric flow shown in
FIG. 3 a provides for a constant proportion of the gas flow (base load 31), on which a further, deliberately changed proportion of thegas flow 32 is superimposed. The resultant volumetric flow 33 (FIG. 3 b) never adopts a negative value, since this would lead to undesirable flashbacks. For safety reasons, the minimum volumetric flow which results must always be positive and must not drop below a defined level. - As a result of the supply lines of both the natural gas and the oxygen being equipped with
membrane modules FIG. 4 a) shows a suitable volumetric flow profile over the course of time for the situation in which both the natural-gas flow and the oxygen flow are varied. In the exemplary embodiment, thechange 41 in the volumetric flow of the oxygen has double the frequency and amplitude of thechange 42 in volumetric flow of the natural gas.FIG. 4 b) diagrammatically depicts a method variant in which the oxygen flow is kept constant over the course of time. - In the illustration presented in
FIG. 5 a), the changes in volumetric flow ofoxygen 51 andnatural gas 52 over the course of time are in phase and only the amplitudes differ. In the illustration presented inFIG. 5 b), the modulation profiles foroxygen 51 andnatural gas 52 are phase-shifted. - The
control unit 16 can also easily be used to generate changes in volumetric flow which do not have a fixed, recurring period. - The embodiment of a
membrane module 60 which is illustrated inFIG. 6 is suitable in particular for operation with opposite-phase supply of a reactant to two separate burners (not shown in the drawing). The two burners in this case divide themembrane module 60. Themembrane 61 divides the twomembrane spaces electromagnet 64 is provided in themembrane space 62. The gas inlet and gas outlet of themembrane space 62 for one burner are indicated byconnection pieces 65, and the gas inlet and gas outlet of themembrane space 63 for the other burner are denoted byconnection pieces 66. - The two maximum deflections of the
membrane 61 into therespective membrane spaces lines 67. The reduction in volume caused by the deflection into onemembrane space 62 produces an increase in volume of the same magnitude and at the same time in theother membrane space 63. This therefore ensures that the volumetric flows for the natural gas to the two burners alter precisely in opposite phase. - In the method according to the invention, the deflection in the membrane is associated with an increase and reduction in the volume of the membrane space. The changes in volume effect mass transfer without producing a soundwave. However, the method according to the invention is not restricted to this particular application. It is also possible, using a moving membrane, to generate pressure waves—without mass transfer—which allow pulsating combustion. In this case, the deflection direction of the membrane corresponds to the main direction of propagation of the burner flame.
