Patents by Inventor Karin Kluthe

Karin Kluthe has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20210180788
    Abstract: A gas burner for use in low-oxygen environments in which the oxygen concentration is insufficient to ensure complete combustion. The burner includes a central air supply that is annularly surrounded by a gas supply, thereby preventing the fuel from burning out with a delay in places where burn-out is detrimental to a system or plant.

  • Patent number: 8449292
    Abstract: A rotary kiln burner particularly for fine-grained solid fuels such as coal dust, with jet air nozzles which can be adjusted easily and effectively during operation of the kiln in order to change the divergence angle of the high-speed jet air streams to change the flame shape and optimize the combustion. The jet air nozzles are attached with the nozzle openings divergent to the burner axis at the end of jet air pipes. The nozzle openings are arranged around the burner axis, with the axes parallel, with the jet air pipes arranged inside an annular cooling air space surrounding the coal dust channel and enclosed on the outside by the burner housing pipe.

  • Publication number: 20080213714
    Abstract: In order to create a rotary kiln burner particularly for fine-grained solid fuels such as coal dust, with jet air nozzles which can be adjusted easily and effectively during operation of the kiln in order to change the divergence angle of the high-speed jet air streams to change the flame shape and optimise the combustion, the invention proposes attaching the jet air nozzles (20) with the nozzle openings divergent to the burner axis at the end of jet air pipes (21), and arranging these around the burner axis, with the axes parallel, with the jet air pipes (21) arranged inside an annular cooling air space (22) surrounding the coal dust channel (16) and enclosed on the outside by the burner housing pipe (19), mounted so that they can rotate around the jet air pipe axes, so that on turning the jet air pipes (21) at the cold end of the burner lance, the divergence of the high-speed jet air streams, and thus the angle of the jet air flow cone in relation to the coal dust cone can be changed and adjusted.
