  • Patent number: 10371376
    Abstract: Industrial furnace (1) which can be used for example for treating semi-finished and siderurgical products, metal and inorganic materials, comprising a) a hot chamber (3) in which a combustion takes place and the hot gases generated by the combustion come in direct contact with the materials to be treated (p) in the furnace itself; B) a combustion stabilizing system in turn comprising b1) an injection system in turn comprising at least a mixer (11) arranged to mix a fuel and a diluent before injecting them into the hot chamber (3). The diluent has the effect of reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides in the combustion products. It considerably reduces the consumption of required diluent and the Nox emissions in the fumes.

  • Patent number: 8297969
    Abstract: Gas burner (1) comprising a main metal body (6), an inner lance (11) for combustible gas, at least two outer lances (10) for combustible gas, a single duct (8) for conveying pre-heated air, a regulation system for the combustible gas, a refractory unit (30), characterized in that said gas burner (1) comprises a series of nozzles (20) for the injection of the preheated air into the combustion chamber, and in that, by operating on the gas regulation system, it is possible to switch, with continuity, from a flame functioning mode of the burner to a flameless functioning mode, the latter characterized by low emissions of polluting agents.

  • Patent number: 6644960
    Abstract: A device for supplying one or more arrays (1, 2) of burners (3), in which each burner (3) comprises at least one fuel inlet line (302) and at least one comburent agent inlet line (301). The said lines (302, 301) of the burners (3) are connected upstream respectively to at least one fuel supply duct (13) and to at least one comburent agent supply duct (9), and means (10, 11, 13, 16) are provided for monitoring and controlling the flows of fuel and comburent agent in these supply ducts. These means are operationally connected to at least one central unit (17) for controlling the distribution of the said flows to the arrays (1, 2) of burners (3)A device for supplying one or more arrays (1, 2) of burners (3).
