BURNERS FOR SUBMERGED COMBUSTION

摘要

A burner for submerged combustion melting that mixes a first gas and a second gas inside the burner and emits the mixed gas through a nozzle for combustion below the surface of the material being melted. The burner includes a hollow tube and a static mixer inside the tube that mixes the first gas and the second gas as they travel through the tube. The mixed first and second gas exits a nozzle on a top end of the tube and is ignited to generate a flame below the surface of the material being melted, which may be a glass material.

主权项

1. A burner for submerged combustion melting comprising:
a hollow tube having a top end and a bottom end; a first gas supply line in communication with an interior of the tube for delivering a flow of a first gas through the tube and out the top end of the tube; a second gas supply line in communication with an interior of the tube for delivering a flow of a second gas through the tube and out the top end of the tube; and a mixer in the tube that mixes the first gas with the second gas as the first gas and second gas travel through the tube such that mixed gas is emitted out the top end of the tube.
