Optimization of Burner Systems for Glass Melting Furances With Regenerative Air Preheating

摘要

This paper contains the results of research work realized at Gaswarme-Institut (GWI), Essen, Germany, in order t minimize the NOx production rates and at the same time to increase the het transfer characteristics. The investigations concerning burner laqnces for glass melting furnaces operted with regenerative air preheating (1350 degC) have shown that it is possible to lower NOx-emissions strongly by adjusting the flames to the applications boundary conditions.
