Embodiment Construction

[0036]The porous burner shown in FIG. 1 (for instance, a gas burner) has a housing 2 with an inlet 3 for a fuel-air mixture 4 and an outlet 5 for the exhaust gas mixture 6 generated in the burner, where in flow direction of the process gases there is provided in the housing 2 an ignition space 7 with an ignition device 8 followed by a ceramic porous medium 9. The ignition space 7 is bounded on the inlet side by a stabilizing element 10, a perforated ceramic plate, which reduces the inlet cross-section and redirects the flow of the fuel-air mixture 4 in such a way that it is perpendicular to the inlet cross-section of the porous medium 9. In the example shown, which is a cylindrical porous burner, the fuel-air mixture is directed parallel to the axis 1′ of the porous burner 1. The porous burner 1 furthermore is provided with a device 11 for controlling the mass flow of the fuel-air mixture 4, for instance a pressure blower in front of the burner or a suction fan behind the burner. Pr...

Abstract

The invention relates to a porous burner with a housing, which has an inlet for a fuel-air mixture and an outlet for the exhaust gas mixture generated in the burner, where in flow-direction of the fuel-air mixture the housing contains an ignition space with an ignition device and adjacent to this space a porous burner medium. On the inlet side the ignition space is provided with a stabilizing element, which reduces the inlet cross-section and directs the flow of the fuel-air mixture essentially perpendicular to the inlet cross-section of the porous medium. The porous burner is provided with a device for controlling the mass flow of the fuel-air mixture, which serves to shift the combustion zone from the ignition space into the porous medium.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a porous burner with a housing, which is provided with an inlet for a fuel-air mixture and an outlet for the exhaust gas mixture generated in the burner, and contains in flow direction of the fuel-air mixture an ignition space with an ignition device and adjacent thereto a porous body. The invention further relates to a method of operating a porous burner of this kind.[0002]In contrast to conventional combustion using a free flame, the combustion reactions of combustion in porous inert media do not take place in a free flow of gas but within a coherent structure of cavities of an inert porous body. Stabilization in the porous matrix is made possible by its significantly better heat transport properties as compared to the pure gas phase. Gas-phase and solid state matrix are approximately in thermal equilibrium and thus no free flames will occur.[0003]The operation of conventional porous burners generally shows the following op...
