Description

A high-speed, low-NOx self-preheating burner Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of burner technology, specifically a high-speed, low-nitrogen self-preheating burner. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas is a non-renewable clean energy source. With the acceleration of human industrialization, the demand for natural gas is increasing, making it an urgent issue to improve the thermal energy utilization efficiency of natural gas. In the field of open flame heating, traditional finned self-preheating burners have limited heat recovery capabilities due to their limited heat exchange area, especially in low-temperature furnaces where efficient heat recovery is even more difficult due to the low furnace temperature.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN212227808U discloses a self-preheating burner tube bundle heat exchanger and a self-preheating burner. The self-preheating burner tube bundle heat exchanger includes an outer tube and an inner tube. One end of the inner tube extends outside the outer tube, and the other end extends into the outer tube. The inner tube consists of an inner tube opening, an inner tube wall, and an inner tube outer opening, with the inner tube opening located inside the outer tube. The outer tube consists of an outer tube bottom, an outer tube wall, and an outer tube opening. A gap is provided between the inner tube opening and the outer tube bottom, forming a fluid flow channel between the inner tube and the outer tube. This invention increases the heat exchange area between flue gas and combustion air, achieving efficient heat recovery.

[0004] The existing technologies mentioned above have low heat transfer efficiency of the burners, resulting in high required ignition temperatures. They also cannot monitor and adjust the gas flow rate in real time, leading to low combustion efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-speed, low-NOx self-preheating burner. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-speed, low-NOx self-preheating burner to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the low heat transfer efficiency of the burner, which leads to a high required ignition temperature, the inability to monitor and adjust the gas flow rate in real time, and the low combustion efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-speed, low-NOx self-preheating burner, comprising a burner shell, a protective liner installed inside the burner shell, a heat storage liner structure installed inside the protective liner, a tubular heat exchanger and a burner pipe installed inside the heat storage liner structure, a gas flow control mechanism installed at the rear end of the burner pipe, and a flow sensor and a flow control valve installed inside the gas flow control mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the gas flow control mechanism and the burner pipe are detachable.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the flow sensor is sealed to the burner pipe via a lock nut.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing ring groove is provided on the other end surface of the flow sensor, and a sealing ring is installed on the surface of the fixing ring groove.

[0010] Preferably, the flow control valve and the flow sensor are fixed together by threads or snap-fit.

[0011] Preferably, the flow control valve has fixed shaft holes at both ends, and a valve switch is fixedly connected inside the fixed shaft holes by a shaft pin.

[0012] Preferably, the interior of the heat-storing inner liner structure is provided with a metal heat-conducting structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention employs a tubular heat exchanger, where flue gas flows inside the tubes and air or fuel gas flows outside. Heat is transferred through conduction and convection. After preheating, the air or fuel gas enters the burner, reducing the fuel's ignition temperature and increasing combustion speed and efficiency. Equipped with a precise fuel flow control device, using a flow sensor and controller, the gas flow is monitored and controlled in real time, ensuring the burner always operates under optimal combustion conditions and preventing fuel waste.

The protective liner 3 and the heat storage inner tank structure 5 provide advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency and good heat storage and insulation during burner combustion. Using the tubular heat exchanger 2, flue gas flows inside the tube, while air or fuel gas flows outside. Heat transfer is achieved through heat conduction and convection. Preheated air or fuel gas entering the burner reduces the fuel ignition temperature and increases combustion speed and efficiency. A fuel flow control mechanism 6 is installed at the rear end of the burner pipe 4. The flow control mechanism 6 is internally equipped with a flow sensor 7 and a flow control valve 14.
