COMBUSTION, HEAT-EXCHANGE AND EMITTER DEVICE

摘要

A combustion, heat-exchange and emitter device (10) for converting chemicals into electro-magnetic radiation and a corresponding method. The device (10) includes a radiation emission section (A) with a selective emitter (1.3) configured for emitting predominantly near-infrared radiation when heated up to high temperatures. A conversion section (B) is arranged adjacent to the radiation emission section (A) and includes a catalytic coating in order to provide for surface specific fuel combustion to maximize heat transfer between a thermal energy carrier (fuel) and the radiation emission section (A). A heat recovery section (F) is configured to transfer excess heat of the thermal energy carrier from an exhaust outlet section (G) to an inlet section (E) to pre-heat the thermal energy carrier (fuel) entering the device (10) therethrough.

1. Combustion, heat-exchange and emitter device (10) for converting chemical into electro-magnetic radiation, the device (10) comprising:
a radiation emission section (A) comprising a selective emitter (1.3) configured for emitting predominantly near-infrared radiation when heated up to high temperatures; a conversion section (B) arranged adjacent to said radiation emission section (A) and preferably comprising a catalytic coating in order to provide for surface specific fuel combustion to maximize heat transfer between a thermal energy carrier (fuel) and the radiation emission section (A); a heat recovery section (F) configured such as to transfer excess heat of the thermal energy carrier from an exhaust outlet section (G) to an inlet section (E) such as to pre-heat the thermal energy carrier (fuel) entering the device (10) therethrough.
