Definitions

  • the catalyst media particles are substantially free of, or even free of, internal void space.
  • the catalytic burner may have any suitable design, for example, as known in the art, including ones not exemplified herein.
  • suitable design for example, as known in the art, including ones not exemplified herein.
  • various designs include cylindrical (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 1-3 ), frustoconical (e.g., as described in PCT Publ. Appl. No. WO 2011/076220 A1 (Möller)), parallel plate, and spheroidal configurations (e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,474,443 (Viessmann et al.))
  • cylindrically-shaped catalytic burner 400 having the same exterior general appearance of catalytic burner 100 (shown in FIG. 1 ), comprises porous diffuser member 420 , which comprises a cylindrical conduit 421 having a wall 422 with a plurality of holes (not shown) therethrough, and which comprises first and second open ends 425 , 427 .
  • Cylindrically-shaped porous distributor member 430 which comprises a cylindrical conduit 431 having a wall 432 with a plurality of holes 433 therethrough, is disposed inside porous diffuser member 420 and comprises third and fourth open ends 435 , 437 .
  • First open end 425 is covered by end cap 440 .
  • Third open end 435 engages groove 446 in end cap 440 thereby forming a seal.
  • Annular seal 460 extends between porous diffuser member 420 and porous distributor member 430 , thereby defining (in combination with end cap 440 ) oxidation chamber 470 .
  • Catalyst media particles 480 are disposed within oxidation chamber 470 .
  • the catalyst media particles catalyze an oxidation reaction of fuel stream to produce heat and an exhaust stream.
  • the catalyst media particles comprise a plurality of carrier particles, at least some of which have an outer coating on at least a portion of their respective outer surface.
  • the carrier particles are typically intentionally shaped (i.e., not randomly shaped as, for example, with crushed particles or powders) due to the process used to make them (e.g., by extruding or molding), although this is not a requirement.
  • the selection of dimensions of the catalyst media particles is typically controlled, at least in part, by the size of the burner and the spacing between the porous distributor member and the porous diffuser member.
  • the shape of the carrier particles is predetermined, for example, such as would result from a molding process.
  • the carrier particles comprise, and may be composed of refractory material (i.e., one or more refractory materials).
  • suitable refractory materials include aluminas (e.g., alpha alumina, beta alumina, gamma alumina, eta alumina, and/or theta alumina), mullite, aluminum titanate, zirconia, zircon, silica, fireclay (an impure kaolinite), cordierite, silicon carbide, and mixtures thereof.
  • the carrier particles have a substantially constant cross-sectional profile along their length. This is especially the case for carrier particles that are formed by an extrusion process.
  • Palladium-based catalysts are known to possess high catalytic activity for methane oxidation.
  • the most active phases in these catalysts are believed to be in the oxide form which is typically stable between 300 to 600° C.
  • PdO palladium oxide
  • the metallic form also has a higher volatility than the oxide, and therefore poses a greater risk for catalyst material loss through vaporization processes during burner operation.
  • the outer coating comprises an inner layer and an outer layer, which layers may comprise different materials.
  • the inner layer i.e., the layer in contact with the carrier particle
  • the inner layer comprises cerium oxide.
  • the inner layer supports the outer layer comprising the oxidation catalyst.
  • exemplary boiler 600 comprises catalytic burner 605 coupled to inlet member 610 and disposed within cavity 615 in housing 630 .
  • Inlet member 610 comprises inlet port 620 in fluid communication with the inlet opening 625 of catalytic burner 605 for supplying fuel stream 670 from a source.
  • Housing 630 has exhaust port 640 and heat exchanger coils 650 for circulating a heat exchange fluid (e.g., water).
  • a heat exchange fluid e.g., water
  • Catalytic burners according to the present disclosure are useful, for example, in residential, commercial, and/or industrial boilers.
  • the present disclosure provides a catalytic burner comprising:
  • the present disclosure provides a catalytic burner according to any one of the first to sixth embodiments, wherein the outer coating is discontinuous.
  • the present disclosure provides a catalytic burner according to the twelfth embodiment, wherein the oxidation catalyst comprises palladium.
  • the present disclosure provides a boiler comprising:
  • CATALYST MEDIA PARTICLES F was a mixture of 50% (by volume) CARRIER PARTICLES B with 50% CATALYST MEDIA PARTICLES E.
  • Burner testing was conducted in a custom open air burner. Methane and dry air were metered using mass flow controllers (available as AALBORG GFCS-010066 from Aalborg, Orangeburg, N.Y.) and sent through a mixing chamber containing a series of perforated discs. The premixed gas was then combusted in a half cylindrical burner head that mimics the geometry of the boiler burner in Example 1 and is mounted on a flat face. The temperature of the packed bed was monitored using K-type thermocouples (Omega Engineering, Stamford, Conn.) while the emissions were measured using methods described in Example 1.
  • mass flow controllers available as AALBORG GFCS-010066 from Aalborg, Orangeburg, N.Y.
  • CATALYST MEDIA PARTICLES F not only does the packed bed temperature stay below 600° C. at all of the firing conditions, it also maintains a stable 322-575° C. over the entire firing range rather than dropping to less than 200° C. (as seen with CATALYST MEDIA PARTICLES D). Additionally, CATALYST MEDIA PARTICLES F do not undergo the 1200° C. temperature spike at the low fire conditions as is seen with the catalyzed spheres during initial cycling. This leads to a wider operating range where the catalyst is active yet thermally stable. This has significant implications for the catalyst lifetime.
