  • Patent number: 8944809
    Abstract: A tubular combustion chamber including a tubular combustion chamber whose front-end is open; and, fuel-gas spraying nozzles and oxygen-containing-gas spraying nozzles, for spraying a fuel and an oxygen-containing-gas separately and individually, or for spraying a premixed gas; wherein respective orifices of the respective nozzles face toward an inner surface of the combustion chamber, so as to spray the fuel-gas and the oxygen-containing-gas in a neighborhood of a tangential direction of an inner circumferential wall of the combustion chamber; wherein the tubular flame burner is a multi-stage tubular burner that is unified in a body, by using a plurality of the tubular flame burners, and by connecting the front-end of the tubular flame burner with a smaller inner diameter of the combustion chamber into the rear-end of the tubular flame burner with a greater inner diameter of the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 7654819
    Abstract: A tubular flame burner, a combustion method, and combustion controller, are disclosed. Here, the tubular flame burner comprises: a tubular combustion chamber whose h one end is open; fuel-spraying nozzles and oxygen-containing-gas spraying nozzles. The respective nozzle orifices are formed in the inner face of the combustion chamber so that each spraying direction is in a neighborhood of a tangential direction of the inner circumferential wall of the combustion chamber. And an ignition device is disposed at a position r/2 from the tube axis of the combustion chamber (r: the radius of the combustion chamber). The length of the combustion chamber can be adjusted, the tubular flame burner is a multi-stage burner formed of multiple tubular flame burners, and a gap between the inner tube and the outer tube serves as a gas-flow path.

  • Publication number: 20070054227
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an alternate combustion type regenerative radiant tube burner apparatus which comprises a circular plate positioned between a burner unit and a main combustion chamber, so that preheated secondary combustion air is fed through an opening of the circular plate to the main combustion chamber. The burner apparatus has the circular plate (10), an annular air throat (2), a cylindrical peripheral cover (30) and a heat-transfer tube (11,16). A front end portion of the peripheral cover is integrally connected with a peripheral edge portion of the circular plate so as to prevent the secondary combustion air of the air throat from leaking on a periphery of the circular plate to the air diluting chamber (3). According to the present invention, the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the combustion exhaust gas can be definitely prevented from increasing, without being affected by the installation condition or thermal deformation of the radiant tube burner apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6880619
    Abstract: A heat treatment equipment having a heating chamber having a plurality of regenerative combustors provided with direct-fired burner having a built-in porous regenerator, for applying a heat treatment to an object in the heating chamber, wherein the substantial average surface pore diameter is not uniform for porous regenerators in a plurality of direct-fired burners or a plurality of regenerative combustors. By making contrivances in the shape of porous regenerators of the direct-fired burners or the regenerative heat exchangers arranged in an area where substances causing choking tend to easily adhere to make it difficult for such substances to adhere or prevent choking phenomenon from becoming apparent.
