Abstract
A method an apparatus for flame stabilization in premixing burners in installations for heat generation for domestic and industrial purposes with reduced Nox and CO emissions and increased operational reliability includes a premixing burner through which a main combustion mixture is directed. A wall of the premixing burner has a plurality of radial openings located on at least one plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the burner for introducing a gaseous medium of fuel or a fuel and air mixture into the main flow and directed transverse to the main flow. Each of the radial openings is connected to a supply conduit to deliver the gaseous medium.
Claims5
A method for flame stabilization in premixing burners in installations for heat generation, comprising the steps of:
- forming a combustible fuel and air mixture in a premixing burner;
- guiding the combustible mixture as a main flow axially in the premixing burner;
- mixing combustion gas and fresh air to form at least one gaseous medium;
- introducing the at least one gaseous medium of combustion gas and fresh air into the main flow in the premixing burner transverse to the main flow to penetrate and mix in the main flow to cause eddies in the main flow;
- igniting the mixture in the burner downstream of the introduction of the at least one gaseous medium to form hot combustion gas;
- wherein the eddies formed by the at least one gaseous medium stabilize a flame formed by the ignited main flow, and,
- guiding the hot combustion gas from the burner into a boiler space.
