배기가스 재순환이 비예혼합 연소시스템에 미치는 영향

We examined the characteristics of NOx emission for CH4/air non-premixed flames using the exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) methods, which are the air-induced EGR(AI-EGR) and fuel-induced EGR(FI-EGR) methods. Our experimental results show that the NOx emission index(EINOx) decreased with increasing EGR ratio. In the range needed to form a stable flame, the reduction rate of EINOx for the FI-EGR method was approximately 29% when the EGR ratio was 20%, and the reduction rate for the AI-EGR method was approximately 28% with 25% of the EGR ratio. According to the flame structure based on numerical results, high temperature regions for the FI-EGR method were narrower and lower than those for the AI-EGR method at the same EGR ratio. Furthermore, based on the experimental results for swirl flames, the reduction rate of EINOx for the FI-EGR method was approximately 49% with 15% of the EGR ratio, while the maximum reduction rate for AI-EGR method was approximately 45% with 25% of the EGR ratio. Consequently, we verified that the FI-EGR method was more effective than the AI-EGR method in reducing NOx emission for non-premixed flames with EGR. We expect that the results of this study will provide fundamental information relating to hybrid combustion systems, which can be used in the design of combustion systems in the future.

Characteristics of Combustion and Thermal Efficiency for Premixed Flat Plate Burner Using a Porous Media

The purpose of this study is investigated on the combustion and the thermal characteristics of porous media burners which are many using for a condensing boiler recently. In addition, results of this study will be used the fundamental information to decide the burner type which will be applied to the future development of EGR(Exhaust gas recirculation) condensing boiler. Two flat type of burners made of a the metal fiber(MF) and the ceramic(CM) were selected and examined, experimentally. As experimental results, the emitted CO concentration of CM was higher than that of MF. However, the NO concentration of MF was higher than that of CM. The efficiencies of both burners were increased as increasing the burner capacity. While the efficiency of MF was higher than that of CM, regardless of the burner capacity. In the experimental range, MF is appropriated for the burner material and 0.8 of equivalence ratio is an optimal operation condition, regarding of the proportional control, the thermal efficiency and emitted NO and CO concentration based on the regulations of KS B standard and EN 677 standard.

Optimization Design of Commercial Large Gas Oven Systems

This research was conducted for the optimal design of large commercial gas oven system. Equivalent ratio was determined through a numerical analysis and experiments on the combustion condition of the combustor. After reviewing the supply capacity of burner(20,000 kcal) and control method of convection fan, two types of heat exchangers designed. In order to maintain a uniform temperature inside the oven is required convection fan braking system. The center temperature in the oven rises more rapidly when the convectional fan is rotated in the counterclockwise direction than the counter-clockwise direction. And The efficiency of the system by installing a large heat transfer area was higher.

A Fundamental Study of Hybrid Combustion System Applying Exhaust Gas Recirculation

Abstract - In this study confirmed the reduction effect of pollutant by applying Fi-EGR and FPI-EGR to hybrid combustion system realizing premixed flame and non-premxied flame at once. The results showed that NOx emission index decreased significantly in case of adopting EGR. Additionally, the hybrid combustion system with EGR resulted in a better performance compared to usual non-premixed combustion system such that it can reduce NO x emission at equivalent EGR ratios. Especially, in the case of 25% of FI-EGR ratio at hybrid combustion system that the ratio of non-premixed and premixed is 50 : 50, NOx emission index reduction rate was about 59% compared to NO x emission of non-premixed combustion system without EGR and in the case of 15% of FPI-EGR ratio at hybrid combustion system that the ratio of non-premixed and premixed is 70 : 30, NO x emission index reduction rate was about 48% compared to NO x emission of hybrid combustion system without EGR.

Thermal Characteristics of Cross-flow Small Scale Heat Exchanger

This study was experimentally investigated NOx and CO emissions characteristics with various equivalence ratios using premixed type of burner installed small heat exchanger. The effectiveness of heat exchanger and the entropy generation number were also calculated. As results, the heat transfer rate increases with increasing equivalence ratio due to increase the flame temperature. According to the emission characteristics and the effectiveness, the optimal operating equivalence ratio is 0.75 in the range of this experiment. Consequently, the area of the heat exchanger should be increased to reduce the entropy generation number and to increase the effectiveness.
