196 results about "Flammability limit" patented technology

Mixtures of dispersed combustible materials (such as gaseous or vaporised fuels, and some dusts) and air will burn only if the fuel concentration lies within well-defined lower and upper bounds determined experimentally, referred to as flammability limits or explosive limits. Combustion can range in violence from deflagration through detonation.

Integrated process and dual-function catalyst for olefin epoxidation

The invention discloses a dual-functional catalyst composition and an integrated process for production of olefin epoxides including propylene oxide by catalytic reaction of hydrogen peroxide from hydrogen and oxygen with olefin feeds such as propylene. The epoxides and hydrogen peroxide are preferably produced simultaneously in situ. The dual-functional catalyst comprises noble metal crystallites with dimensions on the nanometer scale (on the order of <1 nm to 10 nm), specially dispersed on titanium silicalite substrate particles. The dual functional catalyst catalyzes both the direct reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide intermediate on the noble metal catalyst surface and the reaction of the hydrogen peroxide intermediate with the propylene feed to generate propylene oxide product. Combining both these functions in a single catalyst provides a very efficient integrated process operable below the flammability limits of hydrogen and highly selective for the production of hydrogen peroxide to produce olefin oxides such as propylene oxide without formation of undesired co-products.

Compact swirl augmented afterburners for gas turbine engines

An afterburner apparatus that utilizes a novel swirl generator for rapidly and efficiently atomizing, vaporizing, as necessary, and mixing a fuel into an oxidant. The swirl generator converts an oxidant flow into a turbulent, three-dimensional flowfield into which the fuel is introduced. The swirl generator effects a toroidal outer recirculation zone and a central recirculation zone, which is positioned within the outer recirculation zone. These recirculation zones are configured in a backward-flowing manner that carries heat and combustion byproducts upstream where they are employed to continuously ignite a combustible fuel / oxidizer mixture in adjacent shear layers. The recirculation zones accelerate flame propagation to allow afterburning to be completed in a relatively short length. Inherent with this swirl afterburner concept are design compactness, light weight, lower cost, smooth and efficient combustion, high thrust output, wide flammability limits, continuous operation at stoichiometric fuel / oxidizer mixture ratios, no combustion instabilities, and relatively low pressure losses.

Fuel Injection Strategy for Internal Combustion Engine Having Dedicated EGR Cylinders

A method using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in an internal combustion engine. The engine has at least one “dedicated EGR cylinder”, whose entire exhaust is recirculated back to all the engine cylinders. The dedicated EGR cylinder is operated at a rich air-fuel ratio, and the other cylinders are operated stoichiometrically so that a conventional three way catalyst may be used to treat the exhaust. A fuel injector is used to inject fuel into the combustion chamber of the dedicated EGR cylinder after initiation of the main combustion event. This post injection method overcomes flammability limits of a dedicated EGR cylinder, and increases the hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in its exhaust.

The tail gas buffer dilution treatment device utilizes the techniques of self-diffusion, multi-tube pass buffer, air mixing and exchange, expansion, condensation and the like to buffer and dilute the hydrogen-containing tail gas emitted from the fuel cell vehicle and separate the water and gas in the hydrogen-containing tail gas, thus eliminating the possible fire hazard and ensuring the safe running of the fuel cell vehicle.

Gas fired appliance safety device

A flammable vapor detector is used to detect flammable vapors in the event of a volatile organic liquid spill near a gas fired appliance, such as a hot water heater. The appliance is mounted at an elevation above the floor while the detector is mounted at or near the floor where the spill may occur. The detector is connected electrically to a safety gas cut-off solenoid valve in the appliance to urge the valve to cut-off the flow of gas to the appliance in the event that the detector detects flammable vapor. Because the detector is below elevation of the appliance, the detector reacts to higher concentrations of flammable vapors than the concentrations of flammable vapors at the higher elevation of the appliance to turn off the gas to the appliance before the combustion air to the appliance reaches a lower flammability limit. The appliance used to describe the invention is a gas fired hot water heater.
