Abstract
A burner comprising least one first passage and at least one second passage are formed in the burner, the at least one first passage and the at least one second passage are arranged such that a first fluid from an outlet of the at least one first passage and a second fluid from an outlet of the at least one second passage are mixed with each other, and the at least one first passage is configured to cause the first fluid to produce a rotational flow in a first rotation direction, and/or, the at least one second passage is configured to cause the second fluid to produce a rotational flow in a second rotation direction.
Claims10
A burner, comprising at least one first passage and at least one second passage formed within the burner, wherein an inlet of each of the at least one first passage is fluidly connected to a supply port of a first fluid, and an inlet of each of the at least one second passage is fluidly connected to a supply port of a second fluid;
- wherein the at least one first passage and the at least one second passage are arranged such that the first fluid from an outlet of the at least one first passage and the second fluid from an outlet of the at least one second passage are mixed with each other;
- wherein the at least one first passage is configured to cause the first fluid to produce a rotational flow in a first rotation direction;
- and/or the at least one second passage is configured to cause the second fluid to produce a rotational flow in a second rotation direction,
- wherein the burner is configured to operate as a submerged burner,
- wherein a mixing channel is formed in the burner, and the outlet of each of the first passages and the outlet of each of the second passages are fluidly connected to the mixing channel, so that the first fluid and the second fluid mix in the mixing channel and flow out through an outlet of the mixing channel, and
- wherein the at least one first passage is a plurality of first passages, and the plurality of first passages are positioned such that the first fluid from the outlet of each of the first passages respectively merges into the mixing channel in the tangential direction of the mixing channel along the first rotation direction.
A method of utilizing a burner comprising at least one first passage and at least one second passage formed within in the burner, wherein an inlet of each of the at least one first passage is fluidly connected to a supply port of a first fluid, and an inlet of each of the at least one second passage is fluidly connected to a supply port of a second fluid;
- wherein the at least one first passage and the at least one second passage are arranged such that the first fluid from an outlet of the at least one first passage and the second fluid from an outlet of the at least one second passage are mixed with each other;
- wherein the at least one first passage is configured to cause the first fluid to produce a rotational flow in a first rotation direction;
- and/or the at least one second passage is configured to cause the second fluid to produce a rotational flow in a second rotation direction, and
- wherein the burner is configured to operate as a submerged burner,
- the method comprising,
- introducing the first fluid from the supply port of the first fluid into the at least one first passage,
- introducing the second fluid from the supply port of the second fluid into the at least one second passage,
- mixing the first fluid and the second fluid, thereby producing a mixed fluid,
- wherein the first fluid rotates in a first rotational direction and the second fluid rotates in a second rotational direction, and
- wherein the burner operates as a submerged burner,
- wherein a mixing channel is formed in the burner, and the outlet of each of the first passages and the outlet of each of the second passages are fluidly connected to the mixing channel, so that the first fluid and the second fluid mix in the mixing channel and flow out through an outlet of the mixing channel,
- wherein the at least one first passage is a plurality of first passages, and the plurality of first passages are positioned such that the first fluid from the outlet of each of the first passages respectively merges into the mixing channel in the tangential direction of the mixing channel along the first rotation direction.
