· Gas pre-heating increases luminosity and heat transfer while significantly lowering NOx formation

The G06 is designed to significantly reduce NOx emissions over comparable burners, while fitting into existing controlschemes.

· Higher Flame Luminosity

The G06 burner is preheated with gas, which improves the associated performance.By injecting a small amount of oxygen into the gas stream prior to the main combustion process, the gas will begin to “crack”, releasing greater amounts of carbon. This carbon, which is consumed in the main combustion process, increases the luminosity of the flame. Since luminosity has a tremendous impact on heat transfer, th0e burner considerably improves heat transfer and fuel efficiency.

· Lower Thermal NOx

While luminosity and heat transfer are enhanced in the G5, NOx production decreases. This is because of the effect the carbon has on the flame temperature. Since the gas is being cracked out in two distinct areas of combustion, the overall flame temperature decreases. This noticeably reduces thermal NOx.Luminosity increases by 20 to 30 percent over comparable flat flame burners, while NOx decreases by up to 18 percent. Flame geometry and flame length are also comparable with existing flat flame burners, so no changes in furnace design are needed to use the G6.
