Definitions

  • a crude oil burner which is particularly suitable for offshore oil well testing, having at least twice the capacity of burners now available, which includes a central assembly of burner nozzles with a pilot and ignition system, a plurality of aligned metallic air cones being employed for improved air introduction and with a dual water spray system to aid in inspirating air and eliminating smoke.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view partly in section and partly in elevation of a crude oil burner in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevational view taken from the location 22 of FIG.. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view, enlarged, taken approximately on the line 3--3 of FIG. 1.
  • a supporting frame having a horizontal frame portion 11, with a rear upright 12, intermediate uprights 13 and front uprights 14.
  • the rear upright 12 has a burner gun supporting plate 15 secured to and extending upwardly therefrom.
  • the housings 19 each has a pipe 25 connected thereto for delivery through a manifold 20 of crude oil to be burned, and a pipe 26 connected thereto for the delivery through the same manifold 20 of steam or air under pressure for atomizing the crude oil to be burned.
  • the pipe 40 extends to the pilot nozzle 30 so that a flame ignited in the flame pipe 40 by the spark plug 41 is delivered to the pilot nozzle 30 to ignite the combustible gas-air mixture supplied through the inspirator 32. Any other igniting equipment may be used if desired.
  • the rear end of the cone 50 has an outwardly extending rear flange 53 which can be secured to the uprights 13 by bolts 54 and to which the ribs 49 can be secured by bolts 55.
  • An annular air entry space 57 is provided at the front end of the cone 45 and the rear end of the cone 50 and at that location a rear water spray ring 60 is provided with a water supply pipe 61 connected thereto.
  • the front cone 50 at the forward end thereof has a front water spray ring 65 disposed therearound and spaced outwardly therefrom for passage of air therebetween.
  • the ring 65 is preferably supported by the uprights 14 and has a water supply pipe 66 connected thereto.
  • the ring 65 is. provided with a plurality of water spray heads 62 for directing vWater into the advancing flame after it has advanced forwardly from the front cone 50.
  • Crude oil to be burned is supplied by the crude oil supply pipes to the burner tips 24 where it is atomized and delivered forwardly at the rear of the rear cone 45 for combustion.
  • the pilot gas burner causes initial ignition, the burner 30 being ignitied if required from the ignition panel 35.
  • Water from the rear spray ring is atomized and directed forwardly and inwardly into the flame in the front cone 50 by the water spray heads 62 on the ring 60.
  • Water from the front spray ring 65 is atomized and directed forwardly and inwardly into the flame beyond the front cone 50 a distance which may be greater than the maximum diameter of the front cone 50.
  • the radial spacing of the front spray ring 65 from the front cone 50 permits of air being drawn into the flame at this location.
  • a front water spray ring contiguous to the front end of the front cone and having members for directing water forwardly and inwardly beyond the front end of said front cone and into the flame advancing therebeyond.
  • said burners include a plurality of burners at spaced radial locations within the rear end of the rear cone.
  • Apparatus for burning crude oil as defined in claim 2 in which said gas pilot is centrally axially disposed and said burners are disposed therearound. 4. Apparatus for burning crude oil as defined in claim 1 in which said front water spray ring is spaced outwardly from the front of said front cone for movement therebetween of air for combustion. 5. Apparatus for burning crude oil as defined in claim 1 in which the longitudinal axes of said cones are horizontally disposed. 6. Apparatus for burning crude oil as defined in claim 1 in which at least one of said cones is made of a plurality of longitudinally separable portions. 7. Apparatus for burning crude oil as defined in claim 1 in which means is provided connected to said gas pilot for ignition at said gas pilot. 8. Apparatus for burning crude oil as defined in claim 1 in which said burner assembly includes detachable burner members.
