IMPROVE BURNER STABILITY, COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY AND LOWER NOx WITH AIRFLOW TESTING
Many combustion problems are caused by poor airflow distribution between burners. ACT's Combustion Airflow Testing program determines airflow distribution at the burner exit. Data is used to balance airflow which can improve burner stability, combustion efficiency and lower NOx.
ADVANCED COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGY'S AIRFLOW TESTING PROGRAM
A test probe is inserted along the burner centerline. A sensing element is raised up and rotated around the burner perimeter. Data is collected automatically at 24 points to determine the burner average and distribution. An average of all burners determines the boiler mean.
WHY IS COMBUSTION AIRFLOW TESTING NECESSARY?
Airflow to burner is effected by Burner Loss Coefficient, Burner Size and Windbox Cross Flow. Large flow deviations around the burner can lead to burner instability and high CO, O2 and NOx emissions. These are caused by vortex flows in the windbox. Correcting this problem often requires CFD Modeling.
