REGENERATIVE BURNER APPARATUS

摘要

A baffle for a regenerative burner has a primary reactant port, secondary reactant ports, and internal flow paths. The primary port is centered on an axis. The secondary ports are arranged in an array that is asymmetrical relative to a plane containing the axis. The internal air flow paths convey secondary air streams from the regenerative bed to the secondary ports. A reactant delivery structure for use with the baffle includes a pilot burner, a main fuel conduit, an a primary air conduit. The pilot burner projects a pilot flame toward the primary port. The main fuel conduit has an annular outlet that directs a main fuel stream over the pilot flame and outward from the primary port. The primary air conduit has an annular outlet that directs a primary air stream outward from the primary port over the main fuel stream.
