Abstract: A burner system for gaseous or liquid fuels adapted for insertion through a circular tile opening in a furnace wall, comprising a burner tube for alternate supply of gaseous or liquid fuel. The burner tube is coaxial with, and inserted into said circular opening. A first stationary annular vane assembly comprises a plurality of symmetrically-placed tangentially-directed vanes enclosing a cylindrical open chamber coaxial with and upstream of said burner means. A second movable assembly of radial vanes is adapted to slide axially about the burner tube and to be moved from a first position where it is entirely outside of the chamber space, inwardly to a second position, where it is entirely inserted into the chamber space, and inside of the first annular vane assembly. Means are provided for flowing combustion air at selected pressure through the tangential vanes and into the chamber space. When the second vane assembly is moved to its first position, the tangential vanes provide a swirling helical flow of air into and axially along the chamber space, and into the downstream of the burners, providing a swirling flame. When the movable vane assembly is in its second position, inside of the chamber volume, then the tangentially-directed air flowing through the first vane assembly flows into the second vane assembly with its radial vanes. This completely cuts off the helical flow, and causes only axial flow of air past the burners and into the flame zone.

Abstract: A gaseous fuel burner for enhanced flame adherence to a tile surface in a furnace, comprising a gas burner tube having a nozzle at its end, including a plurality of radial orifices circumferentially spaced in a transverse plane. A cylindrical combustion air plenum is coaxial with said burner tube, and means are provided to supply combustion air to said plenum at a selected super-atmospheric pressure P1. There is a circular concentric opening in the wall of the plenum and a short length of air tube welded to the opening, which is inserted into an opening in the furnace tile. A plurality of curved vanes are provided, and means to lead air from the pressurized plenum through the vanes to provide a rapidly spinning air flow which moves helically along the air tube into the tile and into the furnace. The central opening of the tile is flared in an arcuate manner. There is sufficient pressure drop between the air plenum at P1 and inside of the air tube P2, after passage through the vanes, of the order of 0.8 W.C. so that a tangential air velocity of as high as 100 feet per second is possible. This rapidly spinning air volume has fuel injected into it under pressure through the radial orifices, and flows into the furnace in an expanding spiral flow along the arcuate portion of the tile. Because of the high tangential velocity of the air, gas and flame, the pressure at the face of the tile is low and the flame is held in close contact with the tile causing rapid heat transfer to the tile which then radiates into the furnace area.

Abstract: An apparatus for discharging to the atmosphere, combustion gases containing sulphur trioxide, means are provided for injecting into the stream, prior to venting to the atmosphere, a selected quantity of diluting gas. The diluting gas and sulphur containing combustion gases are turbulently mixed to provide dilution of the sulphur trioxide in the combined effluent from the stack. In one embodiment, the diluting gases are injected through a pipe positioned axially in the stack, below the top. A column of diluting gas is injected at high velocity into the upwardly moving combustion gases to entrain, mix with, and dilute the sulphur trioxide in the combination gases prior to escape from the stack to the atmosphere. In an improved embodiment, an annular plenum is constructed around the stack at a point upstream of the top of the stack, and a plurality of pipes are directed inwardly radially and upwardly through the wall of the stack. Diluting gas is supplied to the plenum at substantial pressure, which flows through the pipes at considerable velocity into the rising column of combustion gases.

Abstract: Apparatus to burn liquid fuels in a gaseous fuel burner, which includes preparatory apparatus for the atomization of liquid fuel oil preferably by a diluent gas, and the heating of the fuel droplets and diluent gas so as to completely vaporize the liquid fuel. If atomization is by other means, diluent gas is added prior to vaporization heating. The resulting oil vapor-diluent gas mixture then goes to a burner which utilizes the central orifice of a conventional gas burner. Primary air is induced into the burner tube due to the high velocity of jets of oil vapor-diluent gas. The diluent gas permits low vapor pressure of oil vapor and thus lower operating temperature. For the use of gaseous fuel, the same burner is utilized. The diluent gas can be preferably any noncombustible and non-oxygen containing gas.

Abstract: Apparatus for burning the gaseous and carbon particulate products from a kiln in which carbon is being calcined, including a pair of vertical cylindrical vessels, to which the effluent products of calcining are carried, by means of an input conduit, which enters the first vessel in a tangential manner near the bottom end, so that the gases will circulate circumferentially in a spinning flow inside of the vessel, as they progress upwardly to a outlet near the top of the first vessel, which leaves tangentially, and passes to the second vessel and enters it tangentially. The gases then circulate around the inner wall of the second vessel spin flowing downwardly, where they leave near the bottom to enter the stack. Means are provided on the entrance conduit for injecting combustion air into the inlet conduit prior to entry of the effluent products into the first vessel. Water may be included with the combustion air, if desired, which is sprayed into the combustion air, and mixes with the effluent products causing immediate combustion of the combustible gases, and of the carbon particles.

Abstract: In a fired furnace system having a convection section, and in which control a furnace draft is vital to both fuel conservation and avoidance of furnace damage, apparatus for monitoring the pressure conditions (draft) inside the furnace comprises a first pressure sensor means positioned at the arch (roof) of the furnace, a second pressure sensor means inside the furnace downstream from the convection section, and differential pressure measuring means connected between the first and second means for constantly measuring the pressure drop through the convection section. Alarm means are provided on the pressure drop measuring means to indicate increase or decrease in the pressure drop in the convection section, so that changes in burning conditions, which cause a greater pressure drop or less than normal, and which would result in either significant fuel loss or furnace damage or both if not immediately corrected, can through attention-requiring alarm, cause the required immediate correction to be made as fuel-firing conditions warrant adjustment of draft control means where the term "draft" is in reference to the condition of less-than-atmospheric pressure within the furnace.

Abstract: A gas-liquid separator for use in flare systems comprising a vessel which incorporates four stages of gas-liquid separation. The first stage employs centrifugal (tangential) separation means by injecting the incoming mixture of liquid and gas tangential to the internal cylindrical surface of the vessel. A second stage is provided by immediately following baffling. A third stage of separation involves the drop out of liquid droplets by reduction of flow velocity due to the large cross-sectional diameter of the vessel. A fourth stage of separation involves passing the gas through a demister which involves design of a special shape of contact members which insure contact of the demister elements by the flowing gas, to further reduce the liquid content.

Abstract: An improved fuel oil atomizer which comprises a burner tube through which fuel oil is supplied under selected pressure, and a coaxial surrounding steam tube providing an annular space therebetween, the flow of steam being under greater pressure than the oil pressure. A burner head is joined to the burner oil tube through an orifice of selected diameter. The burner head has a long axial bore of constant selected diameter, which leads to the burner tip, which has a plurality of tip ports. There are a number of transverse ports between the annular steam path and the central bore, so that the steam can flow under pressure into the central bore of the burner head to mix thoroughly with the pressurized oil flowing from the orifice. Two factors are important in the construction of the burner head, namely that the central bore must be of constant diameter from the point where the steam and oil mix, outwardly toward the burner tip ports. Secondly, the total cross-sectional area of the tip ports must be less than the cross-sectional area of the central bore.
