Definitions
- the present invention relates to a burner of the type comprising:
- first tubular duct having at least an end portion with rectilinear axis including an outflow opening
- Burners of the aforesaid type are widely, but not exclusively, used for the partial or total oxidation of hydrocarbons to obtain, for example: synthesis gas, fuel gas or reduction gas.
- the first duct (inner duct) of the burner is for example crossed by a gaseous flow containing oxygen (comburent), while the second duct (outer duct) is for example crossed by a hydrocarbon flow (fuel), both said ducts having the corresponding outflow openings facing a combustion chamber, external to the burner.
- the cavities are made within the thickness of the feeding ducts
- the aforesaid disadvantage is due - among the others - to the elevated temperature found in the outflow openings of the burner (in the magnitude of 1000 °C and more), to the presence of fast and high temperature vortices of gas in the ends of such openings and to the corrosive effects caused by the fluids.
- Such disadvantage is particularly present in of the terminal part of the outflow opening of the inner duct (first duct) and in presence of fluids comprising hydrogen and oxygen.
- the present invention takes part during the motion of the fluid outflowing from the first duct (inner duct) so as to protect such duct from the corrosive action of high temperature gases, preventing in particular the formation of corrosive effects.
- the technical problem underlying the present invention is to make available a burner, particularly but not exclusively indicated for the partial or total oxidation of hydrocarbons, having structural and functional features such to avoid the building up of fast and high temperature fixed gas vortices in the outflow opening of the first duct of the burner.
- an outflow opening of the first duct comprising a surface with axial symmetry, countersunk towards the outside of the same duct.
- the outflow opening of the first duct is advantageously countersunk towards the outside of such duct.
- the present invention allows to solve in a simple and extremely effective way the problem of the thermal wear of the inner duct (first duct) that, as it has been mentioned with reference to the prior art, is the duct mainly exposed to such corrosion.
- making the outflow opening of the first duct with an axial symmetry surface countersunk towards the outside of the same duct advantageously enables to avoid the formation of a shadow area (area not interested by the primary fluid passage) placed between the terminal part of the first duct and the mixing point of fluid reagents.
- a shadow area area not interested by the primary fluid passage
- highly turbulent fluid flows at high temperature take place, in the shape of high speed fixed vortices, responsible of the fast thermal wear of the outflow opening of the first duct.
- the burner according to the present invention comprises advantageously further means for causing a helical motion to the fluid fed in the first duct in proximity of at least an end portion.
- the fluid outflowing from the first duct expands towards the outside easing a constant adhesion of such fluid against the countersunk surface of the outflow opening, avoiding in a still safer way a premature crawling of the fluid from the outflow opening and therefore the formation of a shadow area downstream the outflow opening where the high temperature gas is flowing.
- the axial symmetry surface of the outflow opening of the first duct advantageously is a cone log (conical countersink).
- the surface of the outflow opening, with axial symmetry of the first duct has a profile - with respect to an axial section - curvilinear.
- particularly satisfactory results have been obtained by the tangent of the curvilinear profile with respect to a rectilinear axis of the end section of the first duct that varies with continuity from 0° to a maximum of 90°.
- the axial symmetry surface of the outflow opening of the first duct comprises - with respect to an axial section - a portion with curvilinear profile and a portion with rectilinear profile.
- This embodiment of the invention is particularly favourable in the fact that it allows a simple and extremely precise countersunk shape of the outflow opening of the first duct.
- the portion with rectilinear profile is arranged preferably in the most peripheral part of the surface with axial symmetry.
- an angle formed by the portion of rectilinear profile with respect to a rectilinear axis - of the end portion of the first duct - comprised between 30° and 90°, and preferably between 40° and 80°.
- FIG. 1 shows an axial section schematic view of a burner according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the burner 1 comprises a first tubular duct 2 having at least an end portion 3 with rectilinear axis 12 including an outflow opening 4.
- the end portion 3 is represented in the shape of a straight cylindrical portion.
- a second tubular duct external and coaxial to first duct 2 with which it defines a free space 6 of substantially annular section, comprising, at one end 7, a corresponding outflow opening 8, surrounding the outflow opening 4 of first duct 2.
- the corresponding length of ducts 2 and 5 is not critical according to the present invention.
- the outside duct 5 has a slightly greater length with respect to the one of the inside duct 2.
- the burner 1 comprises moreover specific means in order to feed, in first duct 2 and in the free space 6, independent fluids including correspondingly, a fuel and a comburent or viceversa.
- the outflow opening 4 comprises, in axial section, a portion 10 with curvilinear profile and a portion 11 with rectilinear profile.
- Portion 11 with rectilinear profile is moreover advantageously placed in the more peripheral part of the outflow opening 4. In this way, the mechanical construction of the outflow opening 4 of inner duct 2 becomes considerably simpler.
- surface 9 with axial symmetry of the outflow opening 4 of first duct 2 is a cone log or, alternatively, a profile - in axial section - curvilinear.
- surface 9 with axial symmetry has a taper, for example, comprised between 40° and 50°.
- the tangent of the curvilinear profile, with respect to the rectilinear axis 12 of end portion 3 of first duct 2 varies preferably with continuity from 0° to a maximum of 90°.
- the end portion with rectilinear axis of the external wall 2a of first duct 2 ends in the tip 13 of the countersunk outflow opening 4.
- an optimal adhesion is obtained with the fluid outflowing from duct 2 against the outflow opening 4 and therefore it is able to protect completely the portion of duct 2 from the corrosive action of high temperature gases.
- the burner 1 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention represented in figure 1, comprises advantageously means for causing a helical motion to the fluid fed in first duct 2 in proximity of an end portion 3.
- Such means comprise, for example, one or more fins 14, opportunely shaped and eventually angled with respect to longitudinal axis 12, placed in proximity of a support rod end 15, that extends coaxially for one predetermined length in the passage 16 defined by first duct 2.
- Fins 14 are provided so as to confer to the fluid the wished spin or swirl.
- a plurality of fins 14, are provided that extends helically on the rod 15.
- such means can be for example made by same first duct 2 or of rod 15, opportunely shaped.
- Such cavities 17 and 18 are however entirely optional and can be omitted depending from the operating temperature conditions of the burner.
- burner 1 only comprises two tubular ducts 2 and 5, inner and outer, respectively
- the present invention can advantageously have also application in burners of the type comprising three or more ducts for reagent fluids, being coaxial one with respect to another.
- the burner 1 When in use, the burner 1 according to the present invention, operates in the following way.
- a first reagent fluid for example a comburent, is let to flow in the inside of first duct 2 (passage 16), while a second reagent fluid, for example a fuel, is let to flow in the free space 6, defined between the inner duct 2 and outer duct 5.
- Such fluids are fed in duct 2 and respectively in free space 6 by feeding means previously described but not represented in figure 1.
- the burner 1 according to the invention can also operate with the comburent in the outer duct 5 and the fuel in the inner duct 2.
- comburent fluid can, for example, be used a gaseous flow comprising oxygen, air, air enriched in oxygen or, preferably, pure oxygen.
- fuel fluid can instead be used a flow comprising hydrocarbons, preferably gaseous.
- hydrocarbons is genetically indicated a hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon mixtures saturate and/or not saturated, light and/or heavy (for example C1-C6).
- gaseous flow comprising hydrocarbons instead is indicated a fluid comprising gaseous hydrocarbons, like for example methane or natural gas, or a gaseous flow comprising solid fuels in suspension (for example powder of coal or lamp-black) or still a gaseous flow comprising liquid hydrocarbons in dispersion (for example light hydrocarbons or heavy which the naphtha and the fuel oil).
- the burner 1, according to the invention is particularly but not exclusively indicated for the partial or total oxidation of gaseous hydrocarbons.
- the fluid outflowing from the latter is opportunely diverted and expanded against all surface 9 of such outflow opening 4, that is therefore protected from the corrosive action of high temperature gases, hydrogen and oxygen, circulating in the outflow openings of the burner.
- the presence of the reagent fluid flow that licks completely the outflow opening 4 of the inner duct 2, advantageously prevents the formation of fixed vortices of high temperature gases in the outflow opening 4, protecting such outflow opening from a premature thermal wear.
- the duration of the end part of the burners is instead considerably increased being able to last various years without any need of replacement and therefore allowing the burner to operate with long operational cycles.
