The acetylene cracking furnace (also called acetylene furnace or acetylene reaction furnace in this field) is the core device of the natural gas partial oxidation process for producing acetylene. The acetylene cracking furnace includes a burner plate and a reaction chamber. The burner plate is located at the top of the reaction chamber. The high-temperature mixed gas of natural gas and oxygen enters the lower reaction chamber through the burner plate for cracking reaction to produce acetylene. In the existing acetylene cracking furnace, the burner plate and the reaction chamber are integrally designed, and the heat is removed by the jacket coolant for the burner plate and the reaction chamber to ensure the long-term operation of the acetylene cracking furnace.
