Electromagnetic Technologies to Decrease Atmospheric Emissions from Gas Burners

The combustion of gaseous fuel in burners in the presence of electromagnetic fields is considered. Activation of the gas fluxes by the field improves the combustion efficiency and decreases atmospheric emissions of toxic oxides. On activation, methane is converted to hydrogen, ethane, and ethylene....

Description
Summary:The combustion of gaseous fuel in burners in the presence of electromagnetic fields is considered. Activation of the gas fluxes by the field improves the combustion efficiency and decreases atmospheric emissions of toxic oxides. On activation, methane is converted to hydrogen, ethane, and ethylene. The experimental apparatus is described. The fundamentals of the refined physical model describing the activation of air and gas fluxes are outlined. The quality of fuel combustion may be assessed by an indirect index of air ionization (the electrical conductivity) and the activation time. Active control of combustion by subjecting the fuel and oxidant to an electromagnetic field improves the energy and resource efficiency of the fuel and the environmental impact of the equipment.
