Abstract
A burner includes a generally cylindrical reactor chamber (1) including a housing (1′) having a proximal end (1p) and a distal end (1d). In the distal end of the reactor chamber (1) there is provided a catalyst (4). A fuel inlet (7) is provided in the proximal end of the reactor chamber. There are also a plurality of air inlets (22, 23; 24) arranged in the reactor wall at the proximal end. The inlets are configured to provide a rotating flow of the air injected into the reactor chamber. There is also provided a flow homogenizer (8; 30) extending over the cross-section of the reactor chamber at a position between the fuel inlet (7) and the catalyst (4).
Claims20
A catalytic burner, comprising
- a generally cylindrical reactor chamber (1) comprising a housing (1′) having a proximal end (1p) and a distal end (1d);
- a catalyst (4) provided in the distal end of the reactor chamber (1);
- a plurality of air inlets (24a, 24b) arranged in the reactor wall at the proximal end, and configured to provide a rotating flow of the air injected into the reactor chamber by the provision of mixing means (6a) arranged around the air inlets;
- a fuel inlet (7) provided in the proximal end of the reactor chamber, arranged to inject the fuel into the rotating air flow;
- a flow homogenizer (8;
- 30) extending over the cross-section of the reactor chamber at a position between the fuel inlet (7) and the catalyst (4), and comprising a partition member in the form of a wall dividing the reactor chamber in two compartments, a first compartment wherein the mixing takes place, and a second compartment downstream of the first compartment wherein the flow is homogenized to exhibit essentially linear flow of the gases.
