  • uniform pressure burners which operate at highpressures must be excluded from consideration when using acetylene gas.
  • Equipment designed to operate with high pressure acetylene gas is, accordingly, rejected in oxyacetylene engineering, for the triple unsaturated alkyne, which has a heat of formation of 61 Kcal/Mol, is far more likely to explode and to disintegrate when compressed in the presence of a suitable source of ignition than when the gas is under a low pressure of not more than about 1.5 atmospheres.

  • the oxygen enters this chamber 17 approximately at the speed of sound.
  • a similar process takes place at the acetylene nonretum valve 3, but under low pressure conditions.
  • the flow velocity of the acetylene is, therefore, relatively small.
  • the acetylene is forced at an initial pressure of about 0.6 atmospheres and a final pressure of about 0.4 atmospheres through the fuel gas supply lines 39 against the periphery of the compact and highly accelerated oxygen jet which has a diameter of about 1 mm.
  • the acetylene diffuses into the oxygen jet and receives an impulse through the kinetic energy of the oxygen jet. Both gases impinge still fairly unmixed on the enclosed face of the core 13 of the nozzle slot-piece 8, which is coaxial with and opposite the delivery opening of the oxygen jet nozzle 37.
  • the gases now enter the slightly twisted slots 11 of the nozzle slot-piece 8. Mixing of the gases takes place inside these twisted slots, which can, therefore, also be described as mixing ducts.
  • the nozzle slot-piece 8 is encased by the nozzle cap 7.
  • the laminar gas flow as well as the gas flow which has been made turbulent by the impingement on the face 9 of the nozzle slot-piece 8 receive a strong monentum of rotation through the small angle of twist of the slots 11, because of the high gas velocity.
  • the rotation releases a completely mixed gas body after a calculated distance of travel in slot 11 (distance, angle of twist and gas velocity are intendependent functions).
  • the gas emitted burn with a powerful but calm flame.

If a combustion should actually develop inside the reaction chamber 17 which could happen only under most unfavorable conditions -the non-retum valves 3 to the acetylene tank as well as to the oxygen tank are closed by the excess pressure developed. The gas streams cease and the flame is deprived of its fuel. Should the valves leak, the safety device 5 in the oxygen supply bore 21 of the pressure nozzle plug 6 is activated. This event occurred during laboratory tests only when the nozzle cap and the slotted piece were fused together in a liquid magma. The temperature of the nozzle block had risen to approximately 300 C.
  • thermochrome plugs the temperature was measured with thermochrome plugs. It has already been mentioned that a brass ball is attached by soft soldering as safety device inside the oxygen supply bore 21 of the nozzle pressure plug 6.
  • the brass ball has a slightly larger diameter than the delivery opening of the oxygen jet nozzle 37. If the temperature of the pressure nozzle plug rises about 300C, the solder melts and the ball is deposited in front of the delivery opening and is soldered in place by the adhering soft solder. The oxygen supply is completely cut off by these events and only the cold sooty flame of the acetylene is still burning. The situation can, therefore,
  • the cooling of nozzle body 1 is by regeneration with oxygen escaping from the pressure gas block at high velocity preferably approximately the velocity of sound.
  • the expansion cools the nozzle so effectively that the temperature of the nozzle block 1 under thermal load for one hour does not rise to more than 70 C. in an experiment where the vertical distance between the nozzle opening 10 and a concrete surface is 30 mm and the angle of inclination of the flame jet is 50.
  • the result is the more remarkable as it is obtained with a long time test.
  • the concrete having only a poor heat transfer capacity, is changed into a light liquid glassy lava. This substance solidifies during cooling to a dark glass.
  • the assembly employs the principle of diffusion and twist for mixing. This eliminates uniform pressure operation as in an acetylene burner. Furthermore, there are no large mixing spaces, as is the case with injector burners. Detonations (explosion and back-firing) are impossible with the present design principle. As there is not acetylene-oxygen mixture contained in the burner head, many possible dangers are avoided. Even a sudden pressure drop is not dangerous, because the non-return valves stop any kind of combustion inside the burner assembly. Even a reduction-of the flow velocity below the rate of ignition will not harm this design, because back-firing of the ignition flame into a mixing room is not possible.
  • the oxygen valve should be opened first, and the acetylene valve should be opened afterwards.
  • This sequence is important in order to achieve firstly a marked diffusion effect and secondly to avoid any soot formation.
  • the handwheels of both valves are preferably suitably arranged in a conventional manner for the operator to prevent any wrong operation.
  • the design of the burner unit follows exact mathematical laws.
  • the pressure limits of the gas supply during operation are, therefore, very narrow.
  • the unit as described and illustrated here can operate at constant oxygen pressure of 4.5 atmospheres most effectively only if the related acetylene pressure is in the range from 0.6 to 0.55 atmospheres.
  • the table below illustrates this condition for a wider range.
  • Acetylene pressure Acetylene pres- (atmospheres) for optimum sure: flame operating flame breaks away (atmospheres) (atmospheres)
  • the best operation range lies between 4.5 and 5.0 atmospheres oxygen. Optimum conditions then prevail for flame intensity and gas consumption.
  • the exemplified embodiment of the invention refers to an oxyacetylene burner. When using air or when using other fuel gases, the explosion proof or back-firing proof design of the burner may noW be, under cettain conditions, of decisive importance. However, for all fuel gases, the large energy output, the possibility of a large increase of the burner feed, and the small number of component parts are particular advantages of the invention.
