Self-cooled oxygen-fuel burner for use in high-temperature and high-particulate furnaces

A self-cooled oxidant-fuel burner consisting novel fuel and oxidant nozzles and three compartment refractory burner block design is proposed. The new oxidant-fuel burner can fire in high-temperature (2200 DEG F. to 3000 DEG F.) and high-particulate (or high process volatiles / condensates) furnaces without over-heating or causing chemical corrosion damage to it's metallic burner nozzle and refractory burner block interior. Using various embodiments of nozzle and block shape, the burner can offer a traditional cylindrical flame or flat flame depending on the heating load requirements. The new features of this burner include unique fuel nozzle design for the streamline mixing of fuel and oxidant streams, a controlled swirl input to the oxidant flow for desired flame characteristics, a controlled expansion of flame envelope in the radial and axial dimensions, and efficient sweeping of burner block interior surface using oxidant to provide convective cooling and prevent any build up of process particulates. In addition, a relatively thick wall metallic nozzle construction with heat conduction fins enable efficient heat dissipation from the nozzle tip and providing a maintenance free burner operation.

Oxidizing oxygen-fuel burner firing for reducing NOx emissions from high temperature furnaces

Burner firing method and device are presented where an oxidizing oxygen-fuel burner is fired at an angle to the reducing air-fuel burner flame to reduce overall NOx emissions from high temperature furnaces. The oxidizing oxy-fuel burner stoichiometric equivalence ratio (oxygen / fuel) is maintained in the range of about 1.5 to about 12.5. The reducing air-fuel burner is fired at an equivalence ratio of 0.6 to 1.00 to reduce the availability of oxygen in the flame and reducing NOx emissions. The oxidizing flame from the oxy-fuel burner is oriented such that the oxidizing flame gas stream intersects the reducing air-fuel flame gas stream at or near the tail section of the air-fuel flame. The inventive methods improve furnace temperature control and thermal efficiency by eliminating some nitrogen and provide an effective burnout of CO and other hydrocarbons using the higher mixing ability of the oxidizing flame combustion products. The simultaneous air-fuel and oxy-fuel burner firing can reduce NOx emissions anywhere from 30% to 70% depending on the air-fuel burner stoichiometric ratio.

Resonator System for Turbine Engines

A resonator system for a turbine engine can improve acoustic performance and cooling effectiveness. During engine operation, a combustor liner exhibits alternating hot and cold regions in the circumferential direction corresponding to the non-uniform temperature distribution of the combustion flame. Accordingly, high flow resonators are formed with the liner in substantial alignment with the hot regions of the fluid flow within the liner, and low flow resonators are formed with the liner in substantial alignment with cold regions of the fluid flow within the liner. As a result, appropriate amounts of cooling can be provided to the liner so that cooling air usage is optimized. Alternatively or in addition, the liner can include two or more rows of resonators, which can provide an enhanced acoustic damping response. The resonators in the first row can be aligned with or offset from the resonators in the second row.
