    摘要: The heat exchange tube has a porous thermal shock resistant outer shell composed of a corrosion resistant ceramic material that may have a finned outer surface or a plain cylindrical outer surface. The outer shell contains an inner tube composed of a dense nonporous ceramic which is capable of containing high pressure gases, but which may not be as thermally shock resistant or corrosion resistant as the outer shell. The inner tube is formed of a dense ceramic material such as a highly dense silicon carbide or silicon nitride having at each end a like density insert. The end inserts provide sealing surfaces to contact other components in the heat exchanger such as identical ceramic tube assemblies to form a gas-type pressure seal. The inner tube can be fabricated by a deposition technique suh as a chemical or physical vapor deposition, and alternatively, can be made separately and press fitted into the outer shell or the outer shell can be cast or otherwise formed around the inner tube. As an alternative solution, the dense inner tube and end seals can be integrated into a single component performing the functions of all three components, i.e., the two end seals and the inner tube.

    摘要: An internally recirculating burner designed to operate at a low level of excess air without producing intolerable levels of particulate (smoke) and oxides of nitrogen using ambient or highly preheated atmospheric air as an oxidant. The burner operates with a flame front outside of the burner in the combustion chamber with recirculation of furnace gas being provided by the geometric configuration of the burner and the energy provided by the incoming combustion air. A nozzle means for controlling the combustion air flow is disclosed concentric with the burner center body. The nozzle is comprised of a fixed ceramic nozzle plate having annularly arranged distribution holes and a nozzle plus also preferably of ceramic supported to open and close the annular flow passage between the nozzle and the burner center body as well as the annular flow distribution holes. The air discharged through the nozzle flows along the surface of the center body creating a pressure depression at the point of discharge causing the furnace gas to flow from the furnace chamber to the passage formed by the burner barrel and the outside diameter of the recirculating sleeve. The recirculated gas joins the incoming combustion air and flows parallel to the combustion air through the annular passage formed by the inside diameter of the recirculating sleeve and the outside diameter of the center body. Some mixing of the combustion air and the recirculating gas occurs within the recirculating sleeve. A flame holder forming a portion of the center body central tube at the discharge end of the burner creates eddies and provides for a flame holding zone in which the fuel can be injected and the flame sustained. The flame thus formed extends into the combustion zone to the point at which the combustion reaction is completed.

    摘要: An energy conserving process furnace has a recuperator to utilize heat derived from exhaust gases in order to reduce fossil fuel consumption of the furnace. Elongated, enhanced surface ceramic heat exchanger tubes are used in the recuperator to recover heat energy from the exhaust gas. A preferred sealing arrangement is used between the metal and ceramic tubes to contain the combustion air. Heat is added by the recuperator to combustion air used in a fluid fuel burner.A recirculating burner has a flame front outside of the burner in the combustion chamber. The recirculating burner means acts to reduce the combustion air requirements and to provide a combustion zone low in oxygen so as to prevent scale formation and oxidation of metals being treated in the furnace area.

    摘要: A slot furnace has a radiation resistant door which can easily be opened and closed as necessary during operation. The door is mounted on a pivot so that an end thereof covered with heat resistant insulation can be pivoted to open and close the slot when desired, to allow ease of feeding and removing materials from the furnace while preventing substantial radiational heat loss during normal operations.

    摘要: The gas sampling apparatus may be embodied as a hot sampler or a cold sampler, and basically comprises an insulated housing concentrically supporting an inlet tube which in turn supports a nozzle through which the gas sample is metered, passing to the detection cell. The gas sample is drawn past the cell by an aspirator. A controllable heater is disposed concentrically about the inlet tube and proximate to the aspirator for maintaining the sensing cell at its perferred operating temperature which in one case is 704.degree. C. The aspirator is preferably maintained above 430.degree. C. but below 590.degree. C. by the heater. By maintaining the sample gas in this elevated temperature range, accumulation of residuals of the process are avoided. Provision is made for periodic purging of the apparatus with fresh air to remove residuals from the sampler.

    摘要: A bellows arrangement for forming a gas leakage resistant pressure seal between ceramic heat exchange tubes has an elongated metallic bellows defining a central passageway with first and second ends. A metallic tube passes through the bellows and freely moves with respect to the second end of the bellows while defining a gas chamber between the tube and bellows. Axial expansion of the bellows under the influence of the internal pressure when such pressure is higher than the external pressure which may be the atmosphere acts to apply a force at the interface between the bellows assembly and the ceramic heat exchange tube which is proportional to the internal pressure of the heat exchange tube, thereby accommodating movement of the heat exchange tube and providing a pressure seal that is leak resistant.
