Abstract:
A water heater includes a water tank having an inlet and an outlet, and a flue extending through the tank. A nozzle is positioned near a first end of the flue, arranged so as to emit a fuel stream into the flue, and a flame holder is located within the flue in a position to receive the fuel stream and to hold a flame entirely within the flue.
Abstract:
A combustion system includes a fuel and oxidant source, a perforated flame holder, and a support structure that supports the perforated flame holder at a selected distance from the fuel and oxidant source. The fuel and oxidant source outputs fuel and oxidant onto the perforated flame holder. The perforated flame holder receives the fuel and oxidant and sustains a combustion reaction of the fuel and oxidant within the perforated flame holder.
Abstract:
A combustion system includes a perforated flame holder positioned within a combustion volume, a nozzle configured to emit a fuel stream toward the perforated flame holder, an oxidant source configured to introduce an oxidizer fluid into the combustion volume, and a flue gas recirculation (FGR) channel having a first end in fluid communication with the combustion volume downstream of the perforated flame holder and a second end in fluid communication with the oxidant source. A controller is configured to hold a combustion parameter within a selected range of values by regulating a quantity of flue gas flowing in the FGR channel.
Abstract:
A method of operation of a burner system includes introducing a fuel stream into a perforated flame holder, combusting the fuel stream, with a majority of the combustion occurring between an input face and an output face of the flame holder, and producing a heat output from the combustion of at least 1.5 kBTU/H/in2.

Abstract:
A duct burner includes a perforated flame holder and a fuel header that is spaced away from the perforated flame holder and has a plurality of fuel nozzles. Each of the fuel nozzles is arranged to emit a fuel stream toward a respective portion of the perforated flame holder. A combustion reaction supported by the fuel streams is held within a plurality of apertures extending through the perforated flame holder.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Gaseous particles or gas-entrained particles may be conveyed by electric fields acting on charged species included in the gaseous or gas-entrained particles.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A rotary kiln includes a stationary fuel nozzle and a perforated flame holder positioned within an inclined rotating shell. The flame holder includes a plurality of perforations that collectively confine a combustion reaction of the burner to the flame holder to shift most heat transfer from the combustion reaction from radiation heat transfer to convective heat transfer.
