Industrial Burner; an Important Component Used to Achieve Controlled Combustion
An industrial burner is mechanical equipment used to produce
flames in a contained manner. The burner performs many important functions,
such as distribution of fuel and air, combustion control, fuel preparation,
etc. The productivity of the burner depends on the mixing rate of air and fuel,
which affects the stability of the flame. An industrial burner is widely used
to heat either water or air through a heat exchanger. Most burners are
cylindrical and mix a fuel and oxidant to produce a flame and heat. It is
widely used in various end-use industries, such as chemical, mining &
metal, petrochemicals, food processing, automotive, glass & ceramics, etc.
Industrial burners allow a wide variety of facilities to
control open flame for a wide range of applications. They are used for heating
purposes in industrial settings, as a means of generating steam or supplying
thermal energy, or applied in manufacturing processes. An industrial
burner is a component of a furnace where air mixes with fuel, and is
burned in order to create heat. Burners are used to fix the location of the
combustion zone within a furnace, gas turbine, boiler, combustion chamber, or
other equipment requiring heat from flames. However, these burners are designed
for different temperature levels depending on the nature of production
processes.
Industrial burners are used to mix fuel and air (or oxygen)
to achieve controlled combustion, producing a specific flame and heat-release
pattern. The heat generated is used to control the temperature within the
combustion chamber at process set points, making it ideal for melting, heating,
steam production, and manufacturing, among others. Furthermore, the production
of more efficient burners has increased due to stringent regulations regarding
the manufacture of industrial burners. For example, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) monitors the operating conditions of industrial burners,
air emission standards of industrial burners, and associated constituents of
industrial burners.
