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.
