Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional burners fail to achieve optimal fuel burning efficiency due to incomplete combustion of fuel caused by over-reaction of accelerating gas fluid, leading to inefficient fuel usage in thermal machinery.
Innovation Solution
The jet burner design includes a tubular burning chamber with nozzles and a jet pipe system, a high-pressure gas supplying unit, a wind speed auxiliary unit, and a control unit to increase fuel burning time and efficiency, utilizing high-pressure gas and accelerated gas fluid to enhance atomization and combustion, while reducing pollutant emissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If the air blower generates accelerating gas fluid to enhance combustion, then the combustion intensity is improved, but the fuel burning efficiency deteriorates due to incomplete combustion caused by fuel being blown out
Solution Approach 1:
The burning chamber is divided into multiple sections with different functions: a first burning chamber for initial combustion and a second burning chamber for completing combustion. This segmentation allows the fuel to undergo staged combustion, first being ignited in the first chamber and then fully burned in the second chamber, thereby improving fuel burning efficiency while maintaining combustion intensity.
Solution Approach 2:
A guide pipe is introduced as an intermediary component to transfer and direct the fuel from the first burning chamber to the second burning chamber. The guide pipe ensures that unburned or partially burned fuel is properly directed to the second chamber where it can complete combustion, preventing fuel loss and improving overall burning efficiency.
2Productivity
If the fuel residence time is prolonged to improve burning efficiency, then the fuel burning efficiency is improved, but the combustion chamber volume must be increased
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of increasing the volume of a single combustion chamber, the system segments the combustion process into two separate chambers. The first chamber handles initial ignition and partial combustion, while the second chamber completes the burning process. This segmentation allows the fuel residence time to be effectively prolonged through the two-stage process without requiring a single large-volume chamber.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extends the combustion process in the time dimension rather than simply expanding the spatial dimension. By implementing a two-stage combustion process where fuel sequentially passes through two chambers, the effective residence time is prolonged without necessarily increasing the overall volume of the combustion system.
