Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chemical equipment. More specifically, the present application relates to a pilot light assembly that is designed to improve combustion efficiency and eliminate the possibility of flashback. The present application also relates to a burner that includes the pilot light assembly. Background Art

[0002] The pilot lamp is a constantly burning component in a burner, which can be used, for example, to ignite other working fluids or stabilize the combustion of the burner. Traditionally, the pilot lamp can use natural gas as fuel gas or fuel gas. With the increasing environmental protection requirements, more and more burners are beginning to use refinery fuel gas (RFG) and hydrogen as fuel gas for the pilot lamp to reduce carbon emissions. The content of gases such as hydrogen and methane in the fuel gas may be different for different operating conditions and different users. When the hydrogen content is too high (for example, the volume fraction of hydrogen is greater than 70%), the pilot lamp may be prone to backfire or flashback due to the faster mobility and faster combustion rate of hydrogen. When the heavy component content is high (for example, propane conditions), the pilot lamp may be prone to unexpected extinction. Therefore, there is a continuous demand in the art for pilot lamp designs with better gas adaptability. Utility Model Content

The damper adjustment baffle 330 may be sleeved on the outer periphery of the gas gun base 320 and include external threads for connection to the damper stop 420. The gas assembly 300 may extend through the damper assembly 400 and the pilot light pole 100, and the gas gun 310 may be sleeved in the center locating ring 110.

[0056] Figure 8 The damper assembly 400 of the present application is shown. The damper assembly 400 is a component of the air supply system, and the air supply system may also include the space inside the eternal light pole 100 in addition to the gas gun 310. The damper assembly 400 can be connected to the upstream end of the eternal light pole 100 and includes a body 410 and a damper stop 420. The downstream end of the body 410 has an external thread for connection to the upstream end of the eternal light pole 100. The damper stop 420 may include an internal thread for connection to the damper adjustment baffle 330, and the damper adjustment baffle 330 and the damper stop 420 are adjustable through the threaded connection to change the ability to deliver air.

The air flow restriction holes 411 may be arranged in multiple rows and have one of the following shapes: circle, a portion of a circle, ellipse, a portion of an ellipse, triangle, rectangle, trapezoid, prism, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, or a combination thereof.

[0057] The mounting plate 430 can be sleeved on the body 410. In one embodiment, multiple mounting plates 430 can be sleeved on the body 410 of the damper assembly 400 and / or the exterior of the pilot light pole 100. One or more insulating ceramics can be attached to the mounting plate 430 to facilitate mounting the ignition electrode 600 and / or the ion flame detector 700. Figure 1As shown, the distal end of the ignition electrode 600 is positioned near the periphery of the flame stabilization shield 220, for example, near one of the flame stabilization holes 221. The distal end of the ionization flame detector 700 may be positioned near the downstream end of the flame stabilization shield 220, for example, near the opening 223. The ignition electrode 600 provides the function of igniting the flame, and the ionization flame detector 700 may continuously monitor the flame.

[0058] During use, air is provided by an air supply system. Air can enter from the damper assembly 400, pass through the pilot light pole 100, and reach the first section 211 of the mixing chamber 210. Gas is provided by a gas supply system. Gas can be connected from the gas inlet 500, pass through the gas gun base 320, the gas gun 310, and the gas nozzle 311, and reach the second section 212 of the mixing chamber 210. In the second section 212, the air and gas are mixed in the venturi structure and continue to travel to the third section 213 to form a mixed gas. The mixed gas enters the flame stabilizing hood 220 through the through hole 214 and is ignited by the ignition electrode 600 near the flame stabilizing hole 221. The light components or light components in the mixed gas tend to burn first, such as in the upstream portion. The heavy components or heavy components in the mixed gas tend to burn later, such as in the downstream portion. The flame stabilizing holes 221 and the opening 223 of the flame stabilizing cover 220 of the present application provide a stable combustion mechanism, and the muffler holes 222 can effectively eliminate the noise generated by combustion.

[0059] The fuel gas of the present application can be a variety of components, including, for example, refinery gas and hydrogen, and the refinery gas and hydrogen can have different volume ratios or different molar ratios. Because the gases are mixed in the mixing chamber 210 near the combustion location, the pilot light assembly 10 of the present application can effectively reduce flashback caused by hydrogen combustion and effectively reduce the occurrence of combustion extinction.

[0060] The present application also relates to a burner. The burner may include refractory bricks and the pilot lamp assembly 10 described above. The refractory bricks may enclose a cavity within. The pilot lamp assembly 10 may extend through the refractory bricks, and a pilot lamp burner 200 may be positioned within the cavity.

[0061] The eternal lamp assembly and burner of the present application have the advantages of being simple, reliable, easy to implement, and convenient to use, and can adapt to fuel gases with different ratios of hydrogen and methane, thereby improving the safety and reliability of combustion.
