Abstract

Abstract The burner for metallurgical furnaces comprises a main combustion chamber (7) and an auxiliary combustion chamber (5) presenting a plurality of outlet channels (6) communicating with the main combustion chamber (7). To the main combustion chamber there is fed in a pulsating manner a primary mix of fuel gas and air in stoichiometric ratio, and, during the intervals between the feed pulses, a secondary mix of fuel gas and air with a coefficient of excess air of 1.15 to 1.35 and at a rate of flow corresponding to 1 to 3% of the nominal rate of flow. To the auxiliary combustion chamber (5) there is instead continuously fed an auxiliary mix of fuel gas and air with a coefficient of excess air of 0.65 to 0.85 and at a rate of flow corresponding to 1 to 3% of the rate of flow of the primary mix. The combustion products of the auxiliary mix stay in the auxiliary combustion chamber (5) for a very short time, more particularly for about from 0.005 to 0.01 sec., so that they still contain, when they enter into the main combustion chamber (7), active chemical substances, and particularly hydrogen atoms and radicals containing hydrogen atoms.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 269 words
A method for the pulse-burning of fuel gases in industrial furnaces, particularly metallurgical furnaces, for example furnaces for the heating and thermic treating of metallurgical products and metallurgical-mechanical products, by employing a burner comprising a main combustion chamber (7) to which there is fed in a pulsating manner a primary mix of fuel gas and air in substantially stoichiometric ratio, and an auxiliary combustion chamber (5) to which there is fed in a continuous manner an auxiliary mix of fuel gas and air, the combustion products of said auxiliary mix entering in a continuous manner into the main combustion chamber (7), characterized by the fact that alternatingly with the pulses of the feeding of the primary mix of fuel gas and air in substantially stoichiometric ratio, that is in the intervals between the pulses of the feeding of the said primary mix, to the main combustion chamber (7) there is fed a secondary mix of fuel gas and air with a coefficient of excess air of 1.15 to 1.35, and preferably of 1.2, and at a rate of flow corresponding to about 1 to 3%, and preferably 2%, of the nominal rate of flow of the primary mix of fuel gas and air in stoichiometric ratio, while the auxiliary mix of fuel gas and air presents a coefficient of excess air of 0.65 to 0.85, preferably of 0.8, and it is fed to the auxiliary combustion chamber (5) at a rate of flow corresponding to about 1 to 3%, preferably 2%, of the nominal rate of flow of the primary mix of fuel gas and air in stoichiometric ratio.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 269 words
A method for the pulse-burning of fuel gases in industrial furnaces, particularly metallurgical furnaces, for example furnaces for the heating and thermic treating of metallurgical products and metallurgical-mechanical products, by employing a burner comprising a main combustion chamber (7) to which there is fed in a pulsating manner a primary mix of fuel gas and air in substantially stoichiometric ratio, and an auxiliary combustion chamber (5) to which there is fed in a continuous manner an auxiliary mix of fuel gas and air, the combustion products of said auxiliary mix entering in a continuous manner into the main combustion chamber (7), characterized by the fact that alternatingly with the pulses of the feeding of the primary mix of fuel gas and air in substantially stoichiometric ratio, that is in the intervals between the pulses of the feeding of the said primary mix, to the main combustion chamber (7) there is fed a secondary mix of fuel gas and air with a coefficient of excess air of 1.15 to 1.35, and preferably of 1.2, and at a rate of flow corresponding to about 1 to 3%, and preferably 2%, of the nominal rate of flow of the primary mix of fuel gas and air in stoichiometric ratio, while the auxiliary mix of fuel gas and air presents a coefficient of excess air of 0.65 to 0.85, preferably of 0.8, and it is fed to the auxiliary combustion chamber (5) at a rate of flow corresponding to about 1 to 3%, preferably 2%, of the nominal rate of flow of the primary mix of fuel gas and air in stoichiometric ratio.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 60 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the combustion products of the auxiliary mix of fuel gas and air stay in the auxiliary combustion chamber (5) for such a short time that, when they enter into the main combustion chamber (7), they still contain active chemical substances, more particularly hydrogen atoms and radicals containing hydrogen atoms.
