What is a low calorific value burner

A low calorific value burner is a piece of equipment specifically designed to burn low calorific value fuels, which are gaseous fuels with a calorific value of less than 1500 kcal/m3. These fuels usually have a low calorific value and are commonly found in waste, industrial by-products or specific biomass fuels. Low calorific value burners are designed to make efficient use of these fuels, reducing energy consumption and emissions.

Key features

Adaptable: capable of handling a wide range of low calorific value fuels, such as waste oil, gas, biomass gas, etc., with a wide range of adaptability.

Efficient combustion: Ensures full combustion of low calorific value fuels by optimising the combustion process, improving overall thermal efficiency.

Low emission: Adopting advanced combustion technology can effectively reduce the emission of harmful gases (e.g. NOx, CO, etc.) and comply with environmental protection standards.

Economy: The use of low calorific value fuels can reduce fuel costs and reduce the dependence on high calorific value fuels, which has good economic benefits.

Safety: The design takes into account the characteristics of low calorific value fuels to ensure safety and reliability in the combustion process.

Application Areas

Low calorific value burners are widely used in:

⚙️Industrial boilers and water heaters

⚙️Waste incinerators

⚙️Cement kilns

⚙️Power plants (especially using waste gas to generate electricity)

⚙️Biomass utilisation projects

Working Principle

The low calorific value burner enables low calorific value fuel to be fully mixed with air and ignited by means of a special combustion chamber design and air supply system. During the combustion process, the heat released from the fuel is effectively utilised to meet the thermal energy requirements of the production process.

Summary

Low calorific value burner is a kind of efficient and environmentally friendly combustion equipment, which can effectively utilise low calorific value fuels, reduce energy consumption and emissions, and adapt to the needs of modern industry for sustainable development.
