Abstract
The burner (1) is operated with a burnable gas and a gas that contains oxygen. Said burner contains at least one helical gas path for the burnable gas or gas that contains oxygen. Three twisted pipes (2) are used advantageously as a gas path for the burnable gas. A control pipe (4) is also arranged advantageously inside the burner on the center axis in order to monitor the flame by infrared. As a general rule, natural gas is used as a burnable gas and pure oxygen is used as a gas that contains oxygen.
Description
DrallbrennerSwirl burner
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sauerstoff-Erdgas-Brenner.The invention relates to an oxygen-natural gas burner.
Sauerstoff-Erdgas-Brenner werden bisher mit parallel verlaufenden Gaserohren (Brennerrohre) eingesetzt. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Leistungsfähigkeit von Brenner zu verbessern. Überraschend wurde gefunden, daß Brenner ein besonders günstiges Brennverhalten zeigen, wenn verdrillte, helical geformte Brenngasrohre eingesetzt werden.So far, oxygen-natural gas burners have been used with parallel gas pipes (burner tubes). The invention has for its object to improve the performance of burners. Surprisingly, it was found that burners have a particularly favorable combustion behavior when twisted, helically shaped fuel gas pipes are used.
Gelöst wurde somit die Aufgabe durch einen Brenner mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen werden in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.The object was thus achieved by a burner with the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments are listed in the subclaims.
Der Brenner gemäß der Erfindung wird im allgemeinen mit einem Brenngas, z. B. ein Kohlenwasserstoff-haltiges Gas wie Erdgas oder Propan, und einem sauerstoffhaltigen Gas. Als sauerstoffhaltiges Gas wird vorzugsweise reiner Sauerstoff verwendet.The burner according to the invention is generally operated with a fuel gas, e.g. B. a hydrocarbon-containing gas such as natural gas or propane, and an oxygen-containing gas. Pure oxygen is preferably used as the oxygen-containing gas.
Der Brenner enthält mindestens einen helical geformten Gaseweg für das Brenngas oder das sauerstoffhaltige Gas. Vorzugsweise ist der helical geformte Gaseweg ein entsprechend geformtes Rohr, das ein einem größeren, geraden Rohr, dem sogenannten äußeren Brennerrohr, angeordnet ist. Vorzugsweise dient der helical geformte Gasweg als Leitung für das Brenngas. Im äußeren Brennerrohr wird beispielsweise das sauerstoffhaltige Gas zur Brennermündung geleitet. Durch die Verwendung von mindestens einem, bevorzugt zwei und besonders bevorzugt drei helical geformten Gasewegen wird eine besonders günstige Vermischung von Brenngas und sauerstoffhaltigem Gas erzielt. Die helical geformten Gasewege, z. B. Rohre, die Formrohre ge- nannt werden, sind schraubenförmig gebildet, wobei vorzugsweise der schraubenförmige Gaseweg symmetrisch zur Mittelachse (Längsachse) des in
der Regel zylindrischen äußeren Brennerrohres angeordnet ist, das heißt, der Gaseweg windet sich um die Mittelachse des äußeren Brennerrohres.The burner contains at least one helically shaped gas path for the fuel gas or the oxygen-containing gas. The helically shaped gas path is preferably a correspondingly shaped tube which is arranged in a larger, straight tube, the so-called outer burner tube. The helically shaped gas path preferably serves as a line for the fuel gas. In the outer burner tube, for example, the oxygen-containing gas is directed to the burner outlet. The use of at least one, preferably two and particularly preferably three helically shaped gas paths results in a particularly favorable mixing of fuel gas and oxygen-containing gas. The helically shaped gas paths, e.g. B. Pipes, which are called shaped pipes, are formed helically, the helical gas path preferably being symmetrical to the central axis (longitudinal axis) of the in generally cylindrical outer burner tube is arranged, that is, the gas path winds around the central axis of the outer burner tube.
Je nach Steigung der Windungen des helical geformten Gaseweges kann ei- ne breitere oder engere Flamme erzeugt werden. Der gesamte Brenner wird vorzugsweise aus einem hochhitzebeständigen Material wie Stahl (z. B. Werkstoff Nr. 1.4841 ) hergestellt.Depending on the slope of the turns of the helically shaped gas path, a wider or narrower flame can be generated. The entire burner is preferably made of a highly heat-resistant material such as steel (e.g. material No. 1.4841).
Die Brennerleistung liegt im allgemeinen im Bereich von 0,2 bis 2,5 Mega- Watt.The burner output is generally in the range from 0.2 to 2.5 megawatts.
Brenner mit drei Formrohren, die miteinander schraubenförmig verdrillt sind, sind besonders vorteilhaft. Je nach Steigung der Schraubenwindungen wird ein breiteres oder engeres in sich drehendes Flammenbild erzeugt. Auch das Durchmischen des Brenngases mit dem sauerstoffhaltigen Gas von außen her wird durch die sich schneidenden Strömungsrichtungen der Gase aus den Formrohren günstig beeinflußt.Burners with three shaped tubes that are helically twisted together are particularly advantageous. Depending on the pitch of the screw turns, a wider or narrower rotating flame pattern is created. The mixing of the fuel gas with the oxygen-containing gas from the outside is also favorably influenced by the intersecting directions of flow of the gases from the molded tubes.
Die einfache Bauweise des Brenners mit einem äußeren Brennerrohr und mindestens einen, vorzugsweise drei Formrohren erlaubt eine einfache und kostengünstige Bauweise.The simple design of the burner with an outer burner tube and at least one, preferably three shaped tubes allows a simple and inexpensive construction.
Sollte eventuell durch Überhitzung oder Schlackenspritzer die Brennermündung im Laufe des Betriebes beschädigt werden, so kann durch einfaches, gerades Abschneiden der schadhaften Brennermündung sowie durch Entgraten der neuen Schnittfläche eine völlig intakte Brennermündung wieder hergestellt werden.If the burner orifice is damaged during operation due to overheating or slag splashes, a completely intact burner orifice can be restored by simple, straight cutting of the defective burner orifice and by deburring the new cutting surface.
Vorteilhaft enthält der Brenner ein durch die Mittelachse geführtes Kontrollrohr für die Infrarot-Flammüberwachung. Vorteilhaft ist auch die Installation einer
elektronischen oder elektronisch gesteuerten Eigen-Zündanlage, die vorzugsweise mit der Infrarot-Flammüberwachung gekoppelt ist.The burner advantageously contains a control tube for infrared flame monitoring which is guided through the central axis. It is also advantageous to install one electronic or electronically controlled self-ignition system, which is preferably coupled with the infrared flame monitoring.
Der erfindungsgemäße Brenner wird besonders vorteilhaft zum Vorwärmen von Stahlschrott in Tiegeln von Elektroofen eingesetzt, wobei Erdgas als Brenngas durch die Formrohre und reiner Sauerstoff durch den Hohlraum des äußeren Brennerrohres zur Brennermündung geleitet wird.The burner according to the invention is used particularly advantageously for preheating steel scrap in crucibles of electric furnaces, natural gas being fed as fuel gas through the shaped pipes and pure oxygen through the cavity of the outer burner pipe to the burner mouth.
Während mit herkömmlichen Sauerstoff-Erdgas-Brennern eine Überhitzung eines Teiles des Elektroofens, ein zu starker Elektrodenverschleiß, ein zu starker Kohlenstoff-Verlust in der Stahlschmelze und eine extreme Lärmbelastung festgestellt werden, treten diese Nachteile bei Einsatz des Brenners gemäß der Erfindung nicht auf.While conventional oxygen-natural gas burners detect overheating of a part of the electric furnace, excessive electrode wear, excessive carbon loss in the molten steel and extreme noise pollution, these disadvantages do not occur when using the burner according to the invention.
Die Erfindung wird anhand von Fig. 1 und Fig. 2, die eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des Brenners zeigen, erläutert.The invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, which show a preferred embodiment of the burner.
