  • Method and device for evaluating a fuel gas wobbe index
    Patent number: 6893152
    Abstract: A method for evaluating the Wobbe index of a fuel gas belonging to a family of gases. The method includes measuring mass flow rates the fuel gas and of a reference gas, which is not necessarily a fuel gas at respective absolute pressures and temperatures and in a sonic flow through a microjet. An evaluation of the Wobbe index (W) of the fuel gas as W=A×Y+B uses the results of measurements of the fuel gas and the reference gas and is established for all the gases of the family considered.

  • Method and apparatus for regulating a stream of gaseou fuel
    Publication number: 20030000574
    Abstract: A method of regulating the calorific power of a stream of gaseous fuel of the fossil-gas type, comprising a predominant fuel gas, denoted “A” and flowing in a pipe. This regulation is performed, at least partly, by controlled addition of at least one fuel gas called having a calorific power greater than that of “A” into the stream. The subject of the invention is also its apparatus for implementation and its applications.

  • Process and means for drying smoke or fumes prior to discharge
    Patent number: 4753178
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for removing moisture from smoke produced in a chemical reaction, such as a combustion reaction, by circulating outside air in heat-exchange relationship with smoke at a point near the chamber where the smoke is produced, thereby heating the air and cooling and partially dehydrating the smoke. A portion of the air which is thus heated is passed in further heat-exchange relationship with smoke and is then directed toward a smoke discharge stack where it is mixed with the partially dehydrated smoke.
