Lifted flame property and interchangeability of natural gas on partially premixed gas burners

The relationship between lifted flames and burner head temperature of partially premixed gas burners supplied by various natural gas sources was investigated, and the application of AGA(American Gas Association) lifting limit for Chinese domestic gas burners was studied. Results showed that lifted f...

description The relationship between lifted flames and burner head temperature of partially premixed gas burners supplied by various natural gas sources was investigated, and the application of AGA(American Gas Association) lifting limit for Chinese domestic gas burners was studied. Results showed that lifted flames became more seriously with the burner head temperature decreasing, also with the increase of lift height of flames, it would lead to reduce the burner head temperature, eventually the burner head would reach the thermal equilibrium state which maintained stable flames and temperature. The lifting limit curve of partially premixed gas burners was only one under the same gas source, and it only depended on the burner structures and gas source characteristics, but nothing to do with the burner head temperature. The gas source with lower Wobbe index and calorific value made the burner appearing lifted flame more easily. Comparing with the experiment results and AGA lifting index prediction, it suggested that the limits of AGA lifting index IL≤ 1.10 should be change into IL≤ 1.05 using in China.
