Description

DEVICE FOR OXYDISER PREPARATION FOR FUEL COMBUSTION
s Area of technology The discovery relates to heat-and-power engineering, and can be used in fuel combustion. The objective of the invention is to save energy and to protect the environment.
io State of the art A device is known which comprises a rod-shaped electrode connected to an alternating current source and a high-voltage pulse tension source [Russian ~s patent no. 2058510, F24F3/16, published 20. 4. '96]. This type of oxydiser preparation makes it possible to increase the electronic emission and to obtain a gas discharge using an electrical tension of a few tens of kilowatts, instead of hundreds or thousands.
2o The disadvantage of this design is its complexity and energy consumption.
Another device is known which comprises rod-shaped electrodes connected to an electrical current source and positioned in the walls of an initial burner nozzle [USSR patent application no. 1048245, F23D13144, published 15. 10.
'83].
However, it should be pointed out that with a design of this nature ionisation of the oxydiser takes place in the gas discharge, which requires a higher voltage, and moreover in the conditions of a dusty ambience the gas discharge is unstable, and this can lead to complications during operation.
Description of invention Essentially, the nearest technical equivalent to the invention in question is a device which comprises a grid-shaped electrode, which is positioned in the s oxydiser piping, and electrically insulated from the oxydiser piping walls [Ukraine patent no. 24193 A, F23C 11/00, published 7. 7. '98].
However, the use of this device does not allow the desired depth of ionisation of the air (the oxydiser) and the desired uniform distribution of ionised ~o particles across the oxydiser flow section to be obtained, or even the desired maximum intensification of fuel combustion.
The objective of the invention is to create an oxydiser preparation device for fuel combustion which could intensify the fuel combustion process as much as ~ s possible, and reduce the air feed level and the quantity of waste gases through the positioning of electric charge exhausters on the electrode grid, the pointed ends of which are orientated in the direction of movement of the oxydiser flow, which makes it possible to reduce the quantity of harmful substances ejected into the environment and to increase the efficiency of heating units.
The problem posed is solved in that the following improvements are provided for in a device for oxydiser preparation which comprises a rod-shaped electrode, positioned in the oxydiser piping and electrically insulated from the walls of the oxydiser piping.
The electrode grid is equipped with electric charge exhausters positioned at right angles to the grid floor;
3o The electric charge exhausters are preferably 60-120 mm. long;
The electric charge exhausters are tightly fastened by'the blunt ends to the intersection units of the longitudinal and transverse conductors of the grid;
The pointed ends of the electric charge exhausters are orientated in the s direction of the air flow movement.
An electric current of 20-25 kilowatts DC is applied to the grid-shaped electrode with the electric charge exhausters. The charged grid creates a non-uniform electrical field in the airline, through which air is fed from the io pressurised blower fan to the fuel burners of the heating unit.
As a result of the passage of the air through the electrical field, it is ionised. In addition, the oxygen contained in the air, and used as an oxydiser during combustion is activated. The activated charged particles of oxygen flow from 1 s the tips of the electric charge exhausters, and are uniformly distributed over the entire section of the oxydiser's mobile flow, are captured by them and taken away to the fuel device.
The degree of ionisation of the oxydiser is specified by the current leak level Zo (cll), and depends on the height of the electric charge exhausters.
h = 40 mm. cll = 1.8 ma h=SOmm. cll =1.8 ma h = 60mm. cll = 2.0 ma as h = 80mm. cll = 2.5 ma h = 120 mm. cll = 3.5 ma h =130mm. cll = 3.Sma h = 140 mm. ell = 3.4 ma These measurements show that a more efficient ionisation process takes place if the length of the electric charge exhausters is 60-120 mm.. If the length of s the 5 electric charge exhausters is less than 60 mm., the current leak level is reduced, and the degree of ionisation of the oxydiser is not great enough to intensify the fuel oxidation process.
If the electric charge exhausters are made longer than 120 mm., this is not io expedient since, if all parameters for carrying out the fuel combustion process are constant, and with attention being paid to the life of the charged particles, the current leak level remains approximately constant.
The activated oxygen present in the air, and used as an oxydiser during ~s combustion, intensifies the combustion reaction, assists in a fuller burning of the combustion constituents of the fuel, reduces the volume of oxydiser (air) which is essential for the combustion of a specific quantity of fuel, by comparison with normal conditions, increases the combustion temperature and reduces the torch length, which leads to the intensification of radiant heat zo emission. This has a positive effect on increasing the efficiency of heating units. The actual reduction of the volume of oxydiser (air) leads to a reduction in heat losses through waste gases. And as a result of the fact that the amount of air fed into the combustion is reduced, there is a corresponding decrease in the quantity of smoke gases being led off into the atmosphere and as a result Zs the heat loss is curtailed. Consequently, under unchanged conditions (from a percentage point of view), as regards the waste gases of harmful substances, their gross ejection into the atmosphere is reduced.

In addition to this, in industrial furnaces, requiring an orientated heat exchange from the torch to the heat absorption surface, in the event that an electrical field is laid down the torch will "adhere more densely" to the heating surface.
The electrified fuel particles will approach the earthed heating surface and will s create a high-temperature area near it, which provides a certain increase in the kinetic energy of the torch.
As a result, the fuel does not need to be heated up as much as would be necessary in normal circumstances to generate a unit of heat. All of this leads ~ o to an increase in the efficiency of heating units and, in sum, to a saving of fuel.
The effect will be greater if the grid electrode is positioned directly in front of the fuel ignitor.
Thus an analysis of the essential characteristic features displayed by the device ~s presented has shown that such features, or the similar features which are developed within the set of characteristics, are not present in the known technical solutions, which means a conclusion can be drawn that the set of features of the device presented fulfils the criterion for "presence of difference", and to an extent sufficient for the achievement of the technical zo result obtained by the invention.
Short description of drawings The core of the invention is clarified by a detailed description of a specific Zs embodiment, with references to the appended drawing, where the proposed device is presented schematically.

Best variant specific embodiment The drawing shows the device presented, set up in an' airline. The oxydiser preparation device for fuel combustion comprises a metallic electrode grid l, s set up inside an airline 2, separated from the walls of the airline 2 by continuous ceramic insulators 3. At the intersection points of the longitudinal 4 and transverse 5 electric charge conductors, electric charge exhausters 6 have been set up. The electrical voltage on the electrode 1 is supplied by a power source 7 through the continuous ceramic insulator 3.
to The proposed device works in the following manner.
Air containing an oxydiser is fed along the airline 2 into the fuel ignitor (not shown on drawing). In the airline 2, the oxydiser travels through an electrode ~s which takes the form of a metallic grid 1, made up of longitudinal 4 and transverse 5 electric charge conductors, firmly fastened at the intersection points of the electric charge exhauster conductors 6. An electric current of 25 Ka is fed onto the electrode 1 through a continuous ceramic insulator 3.
The grid becomes charged, and creates a non-uniform electrical field in the ao airline, under the influence of which the oxydiser travelling through the electrode is activated to generate atomic oxygen, and becomes a more powerful oxydiser than molecular oxygen. In addition, the power of the rectifier used to obtain the essential current does not exceed 20 Watts.
