Abstract
When recuperators are installed on industrial
furnaces, burners and ratio control
systems must continue to operate reliably
under a wider range of conditions. Most
currently available hot air burners use
dilution air to prevent fuel decomposition
and internal damage. Ratio control
systems which operate properly are complicated
and economically unjustifiable.
This paper details the development and
operation of the GTE ceramic burners and
an inexpensive ratio control device for
preheated air systems called the Temperature
Compensator. This work was possible
through funding from the Gas Research
Institute (GRI).
