DEVELOPMENT OF A SMALL SCALE BURNER FOR LIGHT FUEL OIL IN THE POWER RANGE 1 kW TO 8 kW

摘要

Modern household heating systems must exhibit a low minimal power, a wide power modulation range and a high power density. The combination of innovative concepts and technologies like the vaporisation on porous media, the preparation of a homogeneous fuel/air mixture supported by Cool Flames [1] and the combustion in inert porous media [2] will help to meet the changed requirements. The intention of the project "PyrInno" is to develop an extremely compact oil heating system which reveals low emissions, a power modulation range from 1 kW to 8 kW and meets the German air pollution guidelines for environmental protection. In this contribution the operating model of this compact premix burner for light fuel oil is presented and preliminary experimental results are shown.
