Abstract: An enclosure is filled with a filling gas according to the disclosed method. An enclosure is provided having an interior, a width, a height, a thickness, and fluid filling and exit holes fluidly communicating with the interior. Filling of the enclosure is commenced by directing a flow of the filling gas at a filling flow rate into the fluid filling hole. An oxygen concentration of gas exiting the fluid exit hole is sensed. The filling of the enclosure is stopped when the sensed oxygen concentration reaches a threshold concentration, wherein the threshold oxygen concentration and/or the filling flow rate are selected by a Decision Support Tool based upon the width, height, and/or the thickness.

Abstract: A burner recessed from a combustion space in a burner block adjacent the combustion space injects a secondary reactant (a second portion of a first reactant) around and upstream of a stream of a primary reactant (a first portion of the first reactant) and a stream of a second reactant in order to prevent or inhibit deposition of material from recirculating gases in the combustion space upon the burner. The first reactant is one of a fuel and an oxidant while the second reactant is the other of a fuel and an oxidant. The secondary stream may be injected from a continuous annulus formed in an outer body of the burner or from a plurality of radially spaced holes formed in the outer body. The primary stream is injected from one of an inner bore formed in an inner body of the burner and a reactant annulus defined between the inner and outer bodies while the second reactant is injected from the other of the inner bore and the reactant annulus.
