SYSTEM FOR VAPORIZATION OF LIQUID FUELS FOR COMBUSTION AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

A gas stream with a reduced oxygen concentration relative to ambient air is used to vaporize a liquid fuel or liquified hydrocarbon gas, or is mixed wit h a vaporized gas, and the reduced oxygen vaporized fuel gas is fed to a combustion device such as a premixed or diffusion combustor. Preferably, the oxygen content of the gas stream is less than the limited oxygen index. By mixing the fuel with a gas stream that has an appropriately reduced oxygen content, auto-ignition prior to the flame front can be avoided. In some embodiements, the reduced oxygen stream is generated from an air separator o r taken from the exhaust of the combustion device.
