Abstract
A body to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the body including a body having a tube shape including a length, an outer diameter and an inner diameter, the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface, and the body is configured to be disposed at an axial distance from a terminal end of a burner, wherein the axial distance (AD) is at least a 0.1% of the length of the body.
Claims20
A body configured to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the body comprising:
- a body having a tube shape including a length, an outer diameter, and an inner diameter, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface;
- and
- wherein the body is configured to be disposed at an axial distance from a terminal end of a burner, wherein the axial distance (AD) is at least a 0.1% of the length of the body.
A system configured to be installed into a radiant tube for reduction of pollutants, the system comprising:
- a body having a tube shape including a length, a width, an outer diameter, and an inner diameter, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface;
- and
- a positioning device configured to engage the body, wherein the positioning device is configured to adjust an axial distance between the body and a combustion source.
A method for reducing pollutants of a combustion assembly comprising:
- measuring pollutants from a combustion reaction within a combustion assembly including at least one combustion source contained within a radiant tube;
- and
- changing a position of a body within the radiant tube relative to the combustion source while the combustion source is combusting;
- wherein the body comprises a length, an outer diameter, and an inner diameter, wherein the body further comprises a proximal surface, a terminal surface, and a circumferential surface extending between the proximal surface and terminal surface.
