Method to increase the efficiency of continuous combustion systems

The present invention relates to a method for optimising non-stoichiometric continuous combustion systems that reduces emissions, in particular of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. The operation principle is based on the introduction of small amounts of hydrogen, between 0.001% and 0.1...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a method for optimising non-stoichiometric continuous combustion systems that reduces emissions, in particular of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds. The operation principle is based on the introduction of small amounts of hydrogen, between 0.001% and 0.1% of the total volume of gasses, in the air fuel transport or at points along the continuous combustion chamber where the temperature profile allows auto ignition of the hydrogen. The introduction of hydrogen is controlled as a function of the volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide measured continuously in the effluent gas mixture.
