摘要:
An exemplary embodiment can be an exemplary method, which can include, for example, generating a cool flame(s) using a plasma-assisted combustion, and maintaining the cool flame(s). The cool flame(s) can have a temperature below about 1050 Kelvin, which can be about 700 Kelvin. The cool flame(s) can be further generated using a heated counterflow burning arrangement and a an ozone generating arrangement. The heated counterflow burning arrangement can include a liquid fuel vaporization arrangement. The ozone generating arrangement can include a micro plasma dielectric barrier discharge arrangement. The plasma-assisted combustion can be generated using (i) liquid n-heptane, (i) heated nitrogen, and (iii) ozone.
摘要:
The present invention materially enhances the quality of the environment and mankind by contributing to the restoration or maintenance of the basic life-sustaining natural elements. The present invention reduces the amount of carbon monoxide introduced to the atmosphere of a combustion system. This is achieved by furnishing a systems approach to optimize the amount of oxygen to be chemically combined with fuel upon ignition of both allowing the correct amount of carbon to combine with the correct amount of oxygen thus fully release the thermal energy stored therein. By so furnishing the level of oxygen with carbon of the fuel, more carbon dioxide is produced thus proportionally reduces the amount of carbon monoxide released to the atmosphere. The present invention provides a heating system that surpasses the net and gross efficiency performance of a natural gas burner.
摘要:
According to embodiments, a co-fired or multiple fuel combustion system is configured to apply an electric field to a combustion region corresponding to a second fuel that normally suffers from poor combustion and/or high sooting. Application of an AC voltage to the combustion region was found to increase the extent of combustion and significantly reduce soot evolved from the second fuel.
摘要:
A system and methods for magnetically managing combustion are presented. Fuel is injected into a magnetic field at least partially enclosed in a combustion chamber, and a combustion region comprising electrically conductive species is produced by combusting the fuel. The combustion region is magnetically controlled using the magnetic field operating on the electrically conductive species.

A system is configured to apply a voltage, charge, and/or an electric field to a combustion reaction responsive to acoustic feedback from the combustion reaction.
摘要:
An oscillating combustor can support a time-sequenced combustion reaction having rich and lean phases by applying a variable voltage charge to a fuel stream or flame that flows adjacent to a conductive or semiconductive flame holder held in electrical continuity with an activation voltage.

A solid fuel burner may include a system for electrodynamic homogenization. One or more electrodes may apply an electric field to burning solid fuel or a region proximate the burning solid fuel. The electric field causes mixing and homogenization of volatilized fractions of the solid fuel, combustion gases, and air. The improved mixing and homogenization may reduce emission of carbon monoxide (CO), reduce emission of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), reduce oxygen in flue gas, increase temperature of flue gas, and/or allow for a larger grate surface.

Gaseous particles or gas-entrained particles may be conveyed by electric fields acting on charged species included in the gaseous or gas-entrained particles.
摘要:
A solid fuel combustion system includes a solid fuel burner configured to sustain a combustion reaction of a solid fuel and an oxidant. The solid fuel combustion system includes a first and a second electrode positioned to adjust a shape of a combustion reaction of solid fuel and an oxidant by generating an electric field.
摘要:
A combustion system includes a combustion fluid charge source and a start-up flame holder configured to attract the charge and hold a flame when the combustion system is cool and allow the flame to lift when the combustion system is warmed up.
