COMPENSATOR FOR CONTROLLING AIRFLOW IN FIRED HEATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053006 titled 'COMPENSATOR FOR CONTROLLING AIRFLOW IN FIRED HEATER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a compensator, system, and method for controlling airflow through a fired heater or furnace. The compensator consists of a stationary plate across the burner intake and a movable plate next to the stationary plate. The movable plate can be moved between two lateral positions to regulate the airflow through the intake.
- The movable plate has second openings that align with first openings in the stationary plate in the first lateral position, allowing a certain level of airflow through the intake.
- In the second lateral position, the second openings of the movable plate are misaligned with the first openings of the stationary plate, resulting in a reduced level of airflow through the intake compared to the first position.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Industrial furnaces
- Boilers
- Incinerators
Problems solved by this technology:
- Regulating airflow in fired heaters or furnaces
- Improving combustion efficiency
- Reducing energy consumption
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced control over airflow
- Increased efficiency in heating processes
- Potential cost savings in energy consumption
Original Abstract Submitted
a compensator, system, and method of controlling airflow through a fired heater or furnace. the compensator has a stationary plate disposed across the burner intake and a movable plate disposed adjacent to the stationary plate that is movable between first and second lateral positions to control the airflow through the intake. in the first lateral position, second openings of the movable plate are at least partially aligned with first openings of the stationary plate, thereby defining a first level of airflow through the intake. in the second lateral position, the second openings of the movable plate are at least partially misaligned with the first openings of the stationary plate, thereby defining a second level of airflow through the intake. the airflow through the intake at the second level is less than the air flow through the intake at the first level.
