Process-optimised lambda flexibility utilised in practice

The set air excess has a significant influence on the maximum combustion temperatures that can be reached during a combustion process. A modern burner technology allows the combustion to be controlled in such a way that the process runs optimally and the products are manufactured cost-effectively and in the demanded quality. The following report describes not only flexible setting of the lambda value, but also the possibility of using preheated and oxygen-enriched combustion air. That not only increases the flame and process temperature, but also allows fuel savings of over 30 % to be achieved.
