Pulsating combustion device with improved energy conversion efficiency and reduced noise level

Abstract

This invention refers to the energy sector and can be applied in heating systems, in particular in water heaters or boilers; in disposal systems operating on associated gas flaring. The pulsating combustion device comprises a combustion chamber and, connected thereto, an air and fuel gas supply unit and a flue duct. Said flue duct comprises at least one resonance pipe connected to the combustion chamber and at least two Helmholtz resonators located successively downstream of the at least one resonance pipe. Each of said resonators consists of a flue chamber and a flue pipe arranged downstream thereof, and natural resonance frequency of each of the Helmholtz resonators is less than combustion pulsation frequency. The invention allows to increase the pulsating combustion device efficiency with a simultaneous reduction of the noise level.
