- Another aspect of the present invention is a combustion process in which a gaseous combustion agent chosen from gaseous fuels and oxidizers is injected into a combustion zone by means of an assembly according to the invention, said assembly possibly being part of a burner according to the invention.
- the pressure detector of each assembly detects the gas pressure or a variation of the gas pressure in the chamber of this assembly
- the adjustment system of the assembly regulates the flow section of its at least one secondary passage
- the control system controls the adjustment system so that the flow section of the at least one secondary passage of each assembly is regulated as a function of the pressure or of the pressure variation detected by the pressure detector this set.
- each assembly can have its own control system connected to the pressure detector and to the system adjustment, the control system controlling the adjustment system so that the flow section of the at least one secondary passage is regulated as a function of the pressure or of the pressure variation detected by the pressure detector of said assembly.
- a common control system can control the adjustment system of each assembly as a function of the pressure or of the pressure variation detected by the pressure detector of the assembly in question.
- the adjustment system of the assembly can be controlled so that the gas pressure in the chamber of the assembly is within a predetermined pressure zone or even so that the gas pressure in the chamber of the assembly corresponds to a predetermined value.
- the gaseous combustion agent injected into the combustion zone by means of the assembly is a gaseous fuel chosen from natural gas, biogas, propane, butane, residual gases from steel or methane reforming processes, l hydrogen or any mixture of the gases mentioned above, or a gaseous oxidizer, preferably having an oxygen content from 21 to 100% vol, preferably greater than 21% vol and in particular at least 80% vol, more preferably at least 90% vol.
- the process according to the invention is particularly useful for carrying out combustion inside a combustion zone in the context of a process such as the manufacture or recycling of glass or enamels, the manufacture or recycling or reheating of metals such as aluminum, copper, lead, cast iron, steel, etc.
- the figures 1, 2 , and 3 show a fluid inlet chamber (11).
- the primary injector (21) is fluidly connected to the chamber (11) by means of a primary passage (23).
- the secondary injector is fluidly connected to the chamber (11) by means of a secondary passage (24).
- the secondary passage (24) has an adjustable flow section.
- An adjustment system (32) makes it possible to adjust this section flow of the secondary passage (24) through a shutter (33).
- figures 1, 2 and 3 also show a pressure detector (30) for detecting a gas pressure or a variation of gas pressure in the chamber (11) as well as a control system (31) connected to the pressure detector (30).
- the control system is also connected to and controls the adjustment system (32).
- the figure 4 schematically represents an assembly comprising three primary injectors (21) each surrounded by its concentric secondary injector (22), a chamber (11).
- the primary injectors (21) are fluidly connected to the chamber (11) by the primary passages (23).
- the secondary injectors (22) are fluidly connected to the chamber (11) by the secondary passages (24).
- the secondary passage has an adjustable flow section.
- An adjustment system (32) makes it possible to adjust this flow section of the secondary passage (24) by means of a shutter (33).
- a pressure detector (30) is present for detecting a pressure or a variation in gas pressure in the chamber (11).
- a control system (31) is connected to the pressure detector (30). This control system is also connected to and controls the adjustment system (32).
- the burner comprising a block (40) with an inlet face (41) and an outlet face (42) opposite the inlet face, as well as additional injectors (50) for the injection of 'an additional fluid in the combustion zone (1).
- the automatic adjustment by feedback system according to the present invention can advantageously be implemented in various combustion processes such as the production of glass.
- Glass furnaces mainly use air preheated to over 1000 ° C as an oxidizer. This hot air is obtained when passing through regenerators (stack of refractory bricks). The volume of oxidizer injected into the oven at this temperature level constitutes a significant amount of movement.
- burners operating with an oxygen-rich oxidant then appears to be a particularly suitable solution.
- These burners are generally installed in the openings available near the regenerators.
- Oxy-combustion i.e. combustion with an oxidizer containing at least 80% vol and preferably at least 90% vol of oxygen
- oxy flames are very disturbed by the flames, called “aero flames”, coming from regenerators operating with hot air, because of the least amount of movement of the oxy flame.
- the present invention can advantageously be used in this case by defining a predefined pressure range or a predefined pressure making it possible to ensure an automatic distribution of flow between the primary and secondary injections so as to maximize the pulse of the oxy flame whatever the total fuel flow.
- the power of an oxy-burner can be 800 kW whereas for a production increase of 8%, the power of an oxy-burner can be 1.8 MW. It has been determined that a pressure of 300 mbarg at the level of the distribution chamber between the two fuel injections makes it possible to ensure a very stable flame both at 800 kW and at 1800 kW. The automatic adjustment according to the invention of the distribution of the fuel as a function of the gas pressure in the chamber when the power varies will thus make it possible to optimize the production costs, to limit the quality defects and to optimize the energy consumption.
