  • Patent number: 6579088
    Abstract: Provided is a burner which includes a pipe having a free end region designed to be housed in a furnace quarl. The pipe includes one or more fuel feed ducts surrounded over part of their length by a sheath which defines an oxidizer feed channel and is fastened to a flange. A jacket is disposed around at least part of the length of the end region so as itself to be housed in the quarl and to define a feed channel for a second oxidizer between the jacket and the internal wall of the quarl. The jacket is fastened to a flange for securing to the quarl and the flange for the sheath is fastened to that for the jacket. The burner has particular applicability in industrial furnaces, especially for melting non-ferrous materials, for rehearing or for annealing.

  • Patent number: 6416317
    Abstract: The oxy-fuel burner comprises at least one fuel supply pipe (16) and at least one pipe (18) for supplying an oxygen-rich gas, the said outlets of the pipes being directed approximately in the same direction, the burner being designed to be mounted through a wall of a furnace with the pipes directed into the furnace. It carries at least one auxiliary member (50, 60) intended to act on the flame and the said auxiliary member (50, 60) is placed on the burner upstream of the zone where the fuel gas and the oxygen-rich gas meet.

  • Patent number: 6360677
    Abstract: An injector for a burner is provided in which assemblies for injecting the main and auxiliary fuels and the oxidizer are arranged radially, one around the other, about a longitudinal axis. The injector has a main-fuel outlet, an oxidizer outlet, and an auxiliary-fuel outlet on the respective assemblies. The injector can be used in incinerator applications, such as in methods for producing clinker.

  • Patent number: 5615833
    Abstract: Provided is a burner with external mixing which comprises, just below a drilled plate forming the nozzle, a homogenization chamber in which one of the components of the flame penetrates radially via orifices. The other component feeding the flame passes through the chamber via a series of axial tubes running out onto the front face of the drilled plate where the mixing of the components occur. The burner has application especially to the incineration of industrial waste with oxygen.
