Definitions
- the basis of the patent is a burner for liquid fuels (in the following example and called oil for short), with which the combustion with air stabilized on a porous surface the required concept for mixture preparation and the mode of operation of the Burner.
- the advantages of surface burning are based on the stabilization of the flame in close proximity to the surface or in the material used Surface structure.
- the structure of the porous surface offers the possibility of being catalytic bring effective substances into contact with combustion gases and thus direct influence to take on the reduction of pollutants in the reaction zone.
- the mixture In order to burn the surface, the mixture must form before the surface largely completed. While the mixture formation in gases is relatively easy is to be implemented, the premixing of liquid fuels requires a higher technical Expenditure. Aspects of segregation through condensation and agglomeration must be taken into account. The risk of self-ignition of the mixture below the Surface must be excluded.
- Heating phase which is necessary for the evaporation or evaporation of the fuel.
- Heating oil carry concepts for the evaporation or evaporation of liquid films, dic either run down hot surfaces or be sucked in by capillary forces, mostly on the problem of the formation of deposits on the surfaces of the evaporator.
- the deposits are reaction products from cracking reactions in the fuel oil occur at temperatures above 400 ° C.
- Such high temperatures up to above the Boiling end of the heating oil (380 to, 400 ° C) are for a sufficient heat transfer required from the evaporator wall to the liquid medium.
- the deposits lead to a deterioration in the heat transfer and thus the susceptibility to failure of the system.
- a burner for liquid fuels in which in the starting phase the fuel supplied is evaporated in an evaporation tube. This is done by an electric heater. The vaporized fuel is injected through injected into a mixing chamber. Pre-heated air is also introduced into this. The mixture from preheated fuel and preheated air burns during the start phase at the Surface of the porous body. After the start phase has ended, the power supply to the electric heater ended. The fuel is now evaporated by the heat of the combustion taking place on the porous body.
- a water heater is known from JP 56012908.
- the combustion takes place with this burner of liquid fuel by injecting the fuel directly into the air.
- the mixture is heated in an evaporation zone and then on the surface of a porous body burned.
- the application of the Evaporation energy in the evaporation zone through a spark plug a starting flame generated.
- the starting flame is extinguished after a minimum operating temperature has been reached. This is followed by the evaporation of the fuel on the surface of the porous body.
- the object of the invention is to improve such burners.
- the object is achieved by a method for combustion liquid fuels according to claim 1 or by a burner for liquid fuels according to claim 6.
- the mixture is prepared using the concept of Atomization and evaporation of the fuel in an air stream.
- the required system start-up capability (when the burner is cold started, it is available Mixture formation (evaporation) necessary thermal energy not yet available) is solved by the concept of combining a start burner (swirl-assisted flame tube stabilization) with a surface burner, and the Possibility of using the start burner units to process a fuel-air mixture to use for the surface burner.
- the required heat input takes place via various mechanisms, which in their Total ensure complete evaporation and overheating of the Avoid fuel mixture. This eliminates the risk of self-ignition of the mixture in the mixture formation zone avoided.
- the ignition temperature of the fuel for example Heating oil EL (220 ° C) occurs a spontaneous combustion of the fuel-air mixture under the Conditions in this burner concept only at much higher temperatures (> 500 ° C) on. Only then can the homogeneous mixture formation (complete evaporation and over-stoichiometric mixture with atmospheric oxygen) can be achieved.
- the contact of the liquid fuel be avoided with hot walls. This applies both to the mixture formation process as well as for the transport of the mixture to the surface of the burner.
- the glowing Surface for flame stabilization is not a critical zone, as this is due to its high temperature is not wetted. Deposits that may have formed at the start can be are even burned off here without residue.
- the invention further relates to a burner for liquid fuels, with a central one Fuel lance, an air supply, which can be provided with a swirl device with an ignition device, with an optional flame tube, with an optional Heat exchanger for air preheating and with a porous body to stabilize one large or large-volume flame.
- the burner works in two operating states. State I, the start mode, serves that Preheat the burner to a minimum operating temperature. With the aim of minimizing the electrical Energy consumption - for example in the case of clocking small combustion systems - allows Construction and mode of operation according to the invention, however, also the heating by a Start burner operation.
- the burner works as a flame tube-stabilized burner inside the surrounding surface. This operating state only serves to heat the System to the minimum operating temperature of state II and is designed to be short in time.
- the construction according to the invention allows this burner to be used with little effort (Minimization of the necessary burner units and the electrical energy for Supply to the units).
- the smoke from the start burner in operating state I can pass directly through the porous one Body. This improves the heat transfer of the gases to the body to be heated, so that in comparison to a gas flow past Shortening the start phase can be achieved. A mechanical blockage of a the second routing of the flue gases from the start mode is also eliminated.
- the surface of the mixture can then be ignited conventionally by ignition electrodes become.
- the developed concept also allows for the outside Ignore ignition device and self-ignition of the mixture on the surface to effect. This works if the temperature of the surface is at least one point is high enough.
- the start burner allows the area around the end of the flame tube heated up sufficiently and made to glow easily. Through the relative large ignition area on the (partially or completely glowing) porous body the starting emissions of operating mode II of the combustion on the porous body in comparison for selective ignition sources (e.g. ignition electrodes) are kept low.
- the flue gases can be fed through openings in the area of the mixture formation.
- the dosage of the flue gases can be changed by changing the area of the opening Example by a slide or a plate also during operation.
- a Temperature control of the change in area can be done efficiently by temperature sensors or Bimetallic or fluidic.
- Flue gases can be drawn in through the impulse of the air in the start burner (short: primary air) become.
- the primary air can also be passed through heat exchangers (8) before entering the combustion chamber be preheated.
- a partial chemical conversion of the oil can be done through the choice of process parameters (Temperature, air volume, flue gas volume) can be reached.
- the space in the flame tube of the Startbrennner then acts as a pre-mixing and pre-reaction room.
- the Secondary air can also be preheated by heat exchangers (8) before mixing become.
- the impulse of the secondary air can overcome the pressure loss of the matrix of the surface burner can be used.
- the surface burner consists of a porous body (e.g. stainless steel, ceramic). This can be at the flue gas outlet behind the start burner or around it be attached around.
- a porous body e.g. stainless steel, ceramic
- the Surface burners can be cooled by the secondary air itself. Preheating the Secondary air then takes place partially or entirely in the surface burner.
- the surface burner can be used to influence the chemical conversion of the oil surface-enlarging substances and / or coated with catalytically active substances.
- the supply of the fuel to evaporate and heat the combustion air necessary energy can be done in different ways. One can be efficient Combination of the ways described.
- the air By heating the air to a temperature corresponding to the boiling point of the used fuel (with heating oil approx. 400 ° C) the back condensation of evaporated fuel avoided. If the air is heated further, the Energy requirements for the evaporation of the fuel from the air flow are met. The The fuel vapor is then expediently generated by direct injection of fuel in the hot air.
- the combustion air can be mixed with the Fuel mist can be heated.
- the heat exchanger can be in the form of tubes made by the air flows through, be arranged outside or inside the burner. By the arrangement within the burner can overheat the area of the fuel-air mixture can be avoided by heat dissipation.
- the heat exchanger is arranged outside the burner, it can also be used Low temperature heat (through flue gas cooling) in high temperature processes (chemistry, Stirling, u. a.) are coupled.
- flue gases are removed from the combustion at a high temperature level, it works above it the supply of part or all of the heat, which evaporates the fuel is required.
- the flue gases also cause an inertization of the Mixture formation zone and additional cooling of the flame zone.
- the heat is emitted by radiation through the very hot porous one in operating state II Body takes place both outside (to the medium to be heated, e.g. boiler water) as well also inside. This effect can be used to heat the premix zone if this lies within an area enclosed by the porous body.
- the Evaporation of the fuel then takes place not only through convective heat transfer hot air to the oil droplets, but also by the direct radiation on the individual Drops. Limiting the temperature in the premix zone can protect against Auto-ignition of the mixture through a layered construction of the porous body respectively.
- the outer layer of the surface is in support of the Combustion optimized (material, materials, structure).
- the inner layer is related to the exact coupling of the necessary heat optimized (heat conduction and Radiative properties).
