Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of burner technology, specifically relating to a sonic torch burner, an elevated torch, and a ground torch. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent accidents such as process runaway, fires, and overpressure ruptures in tank areas and pipelines, flare systems are typically installed to release and burn off flammable gases in the event of an accident. Additionally, flare systems also serve to burn off waste gases during routine production. Currently, most flare burners in operation use air or steam-assisted combustion, resulting in high oxidizer consumption and difficulties in cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Sonic flare burners, which achieve efficient air entrainment, mixing, and combustion by increasing the fuel gas outlet velocity, are relatively less common.

[0003] Sonic torch burners typically use Laval nozzles. To ensure stable combustion, the combustible gas velocity at the narrow throat of the Laval nozzle needs to reach the speed of sound. However, the pressure fluctuations in the existing upstream pipeline cause the airflow velocity at the narrow throat of the Laval nozzle to fluctuate, thus making it impossible to guarantee stable combustion.
