Abstract
Flashback of flames in premixed combustion systems is avoided by passing premixed fuel and air prior to combustion through a series of two or more close coupled nonaligned multi-channel monoliths.
Claims7
An assembly to prevent propagation of combustion, which comprises;
- a multiplicity of close coupled multi-channel monoliths including at least one having walls less than about two millimeters apart;
- said monoliths being arranged spatially upstream and downstream in respect to each other;
- said downstream monolith being mounted such that its channel walls intercept a flow from the channels of said upstream monolith;
- the channels of the upstream monolith being nonaligned with the channels of the downstream monolith.
