New recuperative and regenerative burners for minimizing exhaust gas losses and emissions

The reduction of waste gas losses is often the most effective and economic way to increase the efficiency of industrial furnaces. This article will present two new burner models, enabling to cut waste gas losses of finned recuperative burners almost in half. The regenerative burner achieves highest efficiency but one has to accept a certain expenditure for cyclic switching and exhaust gas suction. This might not be justified for smaller burner sizes and furnaces. The new gap flow recuperative burner reaches almost the same efficiencies with a recuperative system. Both burner models use flameless oxidation technology for lowest NOx-emissions.
