Abstract: A corrosion resistant tubular air preheater in which combustion air is heated by heat transfer from flue gases from a furnace. The heat exchanger is of a longitudinal type having a central enclosure of rectangular cross-section in which a plurality of tubular heat transfer elements are mounted. Surrounding the central enclosure is an outer plenum. Cold combustion air enters at the bottom of the outer plenum and circulates around and up the plenum to a series of openings on top of the heat transfer elements. The partially heated combustion air then passes downwardly through metal tubes in the heat transfer elements and then passes outwardly to the furnace. The minimum temperature in metal structure enclosing the combustion gases is controlled by two means. One is the use of insulation in selected areas to limit heat transfer rate to cold air impinging upon metal surfaces. The second method is by control of cold air flow incidence on or along heat transfer surfaces so as to minimize rapid heat transfer from any metal surface, which might chill the surface below the dew point.

Abstract: This is an improved smokeless flare powered by air supply to the burner at substantial velocity. The flare includes an air flow-operated damper for the purpose of preventing the back flow of flame and hot gases under adverse wind conditions. The damper consists of two semicircular plates which are hinged along the diameter of the air supply pipe and are held in a closed (transverse) position by means of tension springs. Another feature of this flare is that in the sectors between the spider arms of the burner there are baffles which are triangular in shape and have substantial longitudinal dimension. There are narrow passages between the baffles and each of the adjacent spider arms so that the air flow from the blower must pass through these restricted passages and therefore will move at a higher velocity. A third feature involves openings through the side wall of the air flow pipe opposite the baffles so that there is induced flow of air through these openings into the baffle space and up through the triangular wall of the baffle to prevent accumulation of soot.

Abstract: In the combustion of waste mineral-bearing liquid streams, an improved type of construction for the combustion chamber, for the combustion of waste mineral-bearing liquid streams which permits continuous removal of solid particulate waste. An annular water channel is fitted inside of the outer shell of the combustion chamber at the bottom. The bottom of the chamber is closed off with a funnel-shaped, inverted conical floor, having a drain outlet at its center. An opening is provided in the side of the combustion chamber just above the bottom, for the exit of downflowing products of combustion. Water is supplied to the annular channel and flows through a longitudinal gap in the inner wall, to fall onto the funnel-shaped floor plate, to wash down all of the particulate matter that collects on the bottom plate, into the drain. Thus, the waste is removed as it is formed. The refractory lining of the chamber is shaped with an inwardly-directed flange to permit the flow of molten material down the refractory surface onto the funnel-shaped floor plate and to protect the water channel from direct heating by the flame in the cumbustion chamber.

Abstract: A burner-stack-furnace system comprising a stack of selected diameter and height, which is supported on a circular base ring, which is, itself, supported on a plurality of circularly positioned upright columns. The columns are supported on grade and are spaced equally circumferentially. The furnace or combustion section of the system is of the same diameter as the stack, and has a plurality of re-entrant vertical channels in its outer wall, spaced to surround each of the columns, with a selected air space between them. The combustion section thus hangs partly within the circle of the columns or piers, and partly between the piers. A shallow excavation is made below grade within and between the columns, and the combustion section extends downwardly into the excavation, which is deep enough that the bottom edge of the wall is above the base of the excavation. The combustion section is open on the bottom, but is filled with a porous fill of heat-resisting material, to a selected level. One or a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings in the wall of the combustion section are provided for combustion air and for gaseous or liquid fuel burners. In addition to the pipes which supply fuel to the burners, there are other pipes which supply either water or steam. The water is supplied through an atomizing nozzle, so that the droplets flow directly into the path of the fuel and into the flame.

Abstract: A low NOx burner for a furnace operating under natural draft in which primary and secondary combustion air are provided to a first burning zone, in which either or both liquid and gaseous fuel can be used. Less than stoichiometric air is supplied in the primary burning zone and tertiary combustion air is supplied in a second combustion zone downstream from the first combustion zone. The total air supply is over the stoichiometric requirement. Air control means is provided so that a fixed ratio of primary-secondary air/tertiary air is provided for all burning and fuel rate conditions, so as to maintain the less than stoichiometric air supply to the first combustion zone. In addition, water atomization is provided upstream of the first burning zone to provide a burning chemistry which favors the reduction of NOx in the first burning zone.

Abstract: A self-contained single structure for NOX disposal and heat recovery, comprising a burner means (12), including means to supply NOX (oxides of nitrogen) gases (146) to be reduced, primary air (130) in less-than-stoichiometric flow rate, and gaseous fuel (128) at selected flow rate. The gases flow into a first reducing section (114), in which the fuel is burned in a reducing atmosphere, and the NOX gases are reduced. Fire tubes (124) carrying water or steam are positioned to receive heat from the burning gases. At the outlet of the reducing section precooled stack gases (135) are injected (137) into the flame so as to cool the hot products of combustion. The direction of flow of hot gases is turned to 90.degree. (164) in a second section. At the end of the second section the direction of flow is turned 90.degree. so as to be counter to the first direction in a third or oxidizing section (182) to which secondary air is added (172) and a fourth or boiler section (124) accepts the hot gases from the oxidizing section to recover the waste heat.

Abstract: This invention is an improvement over the conventional molecular seal, used for the purpose of preventing the reverse flow of air into the top of a flare stack system upon cessation of flow of the lighter-than-air waste or dump combustible gases. A cylindrical chamber or housing surrounds vertical pipe sections which are parts of the flare stack system. The cylindrical housing is of significantly larger diameter than the flare stack and is closed at the top between the housing and the flare stack. A vertical pipe projects through and downwardly below the upper closure of the housing. Below the bottom of the vertical pipe inside of the housing, is a bulkhead containing a plurality of circular openings near its outer perimeter, into which a plurality of pipes have been welded, which extend upwardly in the annulus between the vertical pipe and the outer housing. These pipes terminate at a selected distance below the top closure of the housing. The bottom end of the housing is closed with a plate and an inlet pipe is welded in the center of the closure plate.
