COOLED FLARE TIP BARREL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044489 titled 'COOLED FLARE TIP BARREL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a flare tip assembly that consists of a barrel with an inner and outer surface, an interior cavity, and internal channels formed through the barrel wall. The internal channels have openings at both ends of the barrel and are enclosed between the inner and outer surfaces. Additionally, there is a pilot positioned near the upper end of the barrel.
- The barrel of the flare tip assembly has an inner and outer surface, an interior cavity, and internal channels.
- The internal channels have openings at both ends of the barrel.
- The internal channels are enclosed between the inner and outer surfaces of the barrel.
- The flare tip assembly includes a pilot positioned near the upper end of the barrel.
Potential Applications:
- Flare tip assemblies are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and waste management.
- This technology can be used in flaring systems to safely burn off excess gases and prevent the release of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere.
Problems Solved:
- The internal channels in the barrel wall allow for the efficient flow of gases, ensuring effective combustion and minimizing the risk of flare tip blockage.
- The pilot positioned near the upper end of the barrel helps ignite the gases, ensuring a reliable and consistent flame.
Benefits:
- The flare tip assembly provides improved performance and reliability in flaring systems.
- The internal channels and pilot design enhance the efficiency of gas combustion, reducing emissions and environmental impact.
- The enclosed internal channels prevent debris or external factors from interfering with the gas flow, ensuring continuous operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
a flare tip assembly includes a barrel having a barrel wall with an inner surface and an outer surface, an interior cavity defined within the inner surface and extending axially through the barrel, and internal channels formed through the barrel wall. the internal channels have a first opening at a lower axial end of the barrel wall and a second opening at an opposite, upper axial end of the barrel wall, and the internal channels are enclosed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the barrel wall. the flare tip assembly further includes a pilot positioned proximate to the upper axial end of the barrel.
