BURNER FOR GENERATING SOOT AND FURNACE TO DEPOSIT SOOT BY USING THE SAME

摘要

Prior to annealing of cold rolled stainless steel strip, soot is deposited on the surface of the stainless steel strip (2) by a soot generating burner (1), and thereby the heat absorption efficiency of the stainless steel strip (2) in the annealing furnace (4) is increased to enhance the heat treatment capability in the annealing furnace (4). This soot generating burner (1) forms a flame by injecting a premixed gas at low air ratio of fuel gas and pure oxygen or high oxygen enriched air from the nozzle (12) opening, and an air injection port (20) for injecting air for guiding the flame is formed on the outer circumference of the nozzle (12) opening. By this guide air, the flame is guided to form, so to speak, an air curtain, and it is therefore possible to direct the flame efficiently to the surface of the stainless steel strip (2), thereby preventing the soot from depositing near the nozzle (12) opening.
