Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Method of controlling the operation of a combustion device to provide safe and reliable operation while reducing NOx emission that includes providing a flow of fuel and diluent at a determined volume ratio to a flame in the combustion device; providing a flame stability sensor to generate a measurement of a characteristic of the flame, providing a flow measurement for each of the fuel and diluent, and controlling the determined volume ratio of fuel:diluent using the measurement from the flame stability sensor and/or flow measurements. A combustion system incorporating this method also is included.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of controlling the operation of a combustion device to reduce NOx emission from the combustion device, wherein the combustion device having a flame, comprising: providing a flow of fuel from a fuel source and diluent from a diluent source at a determined volume ratio to a flame in the combustion device; providing at least one flame stability sensor to generate a measurement of a characteristic of the flame; determining a predetermined crit…
