| Abstract Scope |
The conventional gas burners for domestic and commercial applications have low thermal efficiency with harmful emissions. Investigations were carried on the development of ceramic components for the replacement of common LPG burners by the combination of Silicon Carbide & Cordierite. A development study on burners and their thermal efficiency was carried out on two types of porous radiant burners (PRB). Thermal efficiency of both burners was found to be around 56-65%.
The carbon monoxide emission from PRB was found to be 54-58 ppm in comparison of 355-545 ppm of conventional burner system. NOx emission was 2.10 – 5.00 ppm for PRB in comparison to 28-56 ppm of conventional burners. These burners are not only energy efficient but also produces convection cum radiant heat & emits far infra-red rays, which belong to the positive spectrum of light operating at a frequency bandwidth of 300GHz to 430-THz. |
