(Project concluded on November 30, 2020)
The main objective of this project is to develop a burner for natural gas blends based on the Flameless Oxidation concept. This advanced combustion technology is applied to increase the energy efficiency and to reduce the emissions of nitric oxide. In the flameless concept, the air is preheated above the self-ignition temperature of the fuel/air mixture using regenerative systems. The air is diluted with high-temperature recirculated exhaust gases inside the burner prior to combustion, lowering the oxygen concentration, which subsequently reduces the NOX emissions. The burner will be investigated for CH4/H2/C3H8/CO2 blends, using state-of-the-art laser diagnostic systems and computational methods.
