Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a burner-containing apparatus, such as a boiler or a furnace, having reduced noxious emissions. A burner receives input air and has an exhaust for exhausting flue gases. A flue gas recirculation system is provided for recirculating a portion of the flue gases back to an input of the burner. A fogging device, which produces a fog from a fogger water supply and a fogger air supply, humidifies the recirculated flue gases.

A burner-containing apparatus having reduced noxious emissions, comprising:
- a burner which receives input air and has an exhaust for exhausting flue gases;
- a flue gas recirculation system for recirculating a portion of the flue gases back to an input of the burner;
- means for humidifying the recirculated flue gases, said means comprising a fogging device which produces a fog from a fogger water supply and a fogger air supply.
A boiler apparatus having reduce noxious emissions, comprising:
- a boiler having a burner which receives input air and has an exhaust for exhausting flue gases;
- a flue gas recirculation system for recirculating a portion of the flue gases back to an input of the burner;
- means for humidifying the recirculated flue gases, said means comprising a fogging device which produces a fog from a fogger water supply and a fogger air supply.
For use in an apparatus that contains a burner which receives input air and has an exhaust for exhausting flue gases, and has a flue gas recirculation system for recirculating a portion of the flue gases back to an input of the burner;
- a method for reducing noxious emissions, comprising humidifying the recirculated flue gases by fogging with an ultrasonic fogging device.
