摘要

"METHODS FOR PRECIPITING AND SUSTAINING FLAME-FREE COMBUSTION WITHIN A ESSENTIALLY OVAL COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND A ESSENTIALLY ROUND COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND WITHOUT CLEANING OF HEATED / BURNED INJURY " The invention relates to a method and apparatus whereby a flameless combustion may be precipitated and maintained within the essentially oval combustion chamber of an integrated heater / burner apparatus. The invention provides an air inlet and a fuel source in combination with recirculating waste gas within the combustion chamber of the apparatus to precipitate and maintain a flameless combustion of the combined gases over and within a narrowly defined limit. Air is introduced into the oval combustion chamber through an air inlet. Combustible gas is combined with recirculating waste gases with continuous heating of recirculating residual gas, introduced air or both residual gas and air until the temperature at the boundary interface between air and inert fuel gas exceeds one. auto-ignition temperature of the boundary interface components. A combustible gas stream without a flame portion is combined with the recirculating residual gas, and then allowed to diffuse with the air stream to a sufficient extent to maintain the flameless combustion and the chamber operating temperature between 815.6 198 ° C. C and 1037.8 198 C. The essentially oval configuration of the integrated heater / burner allows for increased mass and circulation rates beyond those possible with contemporary art heaters, and as a result provides uniform, complete and cooling combustion resulting in low NOx emissions. .
