  • Patent number: 8920160
    Abstract: Low NOx emission industrial burner, adapted to operate both in a flame or stage mode and in a flameless mode, so that also the heating step of the chamber of a furnace may be made by means of the same burner, without providing a pilot burner, thus ensuring very low NOx emissions for the whole operation range of the burner and for the whole range of temperatures in the chamber. The combustion process, made by means of said burner, provides for the possibility to combine the stage mode operation with the flameless mode operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100009306
    Abstract: A burner capable of producing a low NOx emission combustion in the whole operating range, maintaining the flame at all times anchored to the diffuser body of the burner and without the use of systems, for example valves, with which to switch the introduction position of the reactants according to the temperature of the furnace. Such a burner is more flexible and cost-effective, both from a system point of view and from a control point of view, with respect to traditional burners.
