FORCED COMBUSTION [11 records]

Record 1 2012-05-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Climate Change
  • Pulp Preparation (papermaking)
CONT

Ozone molecules are constantly being made. But they can be destroyed by any of a number of chemical processes, most of them natural. For example, the stratosphere receives regular injections of nitrogen-bearing compounds, such as nitrous oxide(N2O). Produced by microbes and fossil-fuel combustion, the gas rides the rising air currents to the top of the troposphere. Forced higher still by the tremendous upward push of tropical storms, it finally enters and percolates slowly into the stratosphere.

CONT

Nitrogen compounds have been found to activate pulp between two oxygen stages resulting in a lower kappa number than would otherwise be possible.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
  • Changements climatiques
  • Préparation de la pâte à papier
DEF

Produit chimique qui renferme de l'azote.

OBS

Dans certains contextes on peut établir une différence entre les termes «produit, espèce, dérivé et composé»; dans la plupart des cas, néanmoins, tous ces termes sont utilisés comme de parfaits synonymes.

OBS

Les composés de l'azote contribuent largement au réchauffement climatique. L'oxyde nitreux (N2O) est un des principaux gaz à effet de serre; les oxydes d'azote, NO et NO2 (NOx) sont des gaz à effet radiatif indirect; le gaz ammoniac (NH3) est un gaz à effet de serre mineur. Pourtant l'azote lui-même qui constitue 78 % de l'atmosphère est un gaz sans effet de serre.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Gas and Oil Heating
DEF

A gas burner in which combustion air is blown in by a motor driven fan.

CONT

[A] power burner [is a] burner in which the combustion air is supplied by a fan or blower at sufficient pressure to overcome the resistance of the burner and the appliance.

OBS

Power burner [means] a burner in which either gas or air or both are supplied at pressures exceeding, for gas, the line pressure and, for air, atmospheric pressure; this added pressure being applied at the burner. A [power] burner for which air for combustion is supplied by a fan ahead of the appliance is commonly designated as a forced draft burner.

OBS

Forced-draft burner ... commonly called a "power burner".

OBS

"Burners of the power type use a fan to supply and control combustion air". Depending on ASHRAE Handbook & Product Directory, a "power burner" could be of the natural draft(natural-draft power burner) or forced-draft type(forced-draft power burner).

OBS

For gas or oil burner.

CONT

Power combustion furnaces utilize a combustion blower which may be located either upstream or downstream from the heat exchangers. If the blower is located upstream blowing the combustion air into the heat exchangers, the system is called a forced draft system. If the blower is downstream, the arrangement is called an induced draft system.

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
CONT

... if air injection... is switched to the production well, the oil bank will be forced to move in the reverse direction and through the burned zone, while the combustion front continues to move without any change in direction.

CONT

Wet combustion: ... The injection of water significantly increases the heat-transport capacity of the fluids passing through the burned-out region.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
DEF

A period of time after the run period during which the burner motor (blower or fan) continues to run, driving all the products of combustion and any unburned fuel from the combustion chamber, and supplying air to burn fuel being purged from the fuel line downstream from the safety shutoff valve.

CONT

When the burner is shut off for any reason, the program controller causes the forced draft fan to continue delivering air for a specified time to post-purge the unit of any atomized oil and combustible gases. This post-purge should amount to at least two air changes in the combustion area, gas passages, and breeching.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
CONT

Les traits communs des systèmes de régulation de grandes chaudières à gaz ou à fuel sont : le système de sécurité de fermeture [...], la vérification de l'allumage électrique avant démarrage, la pré-purge pour évacuer les gaz non brûlés de la chambre de combustion avant démarrage, la post-purge pour exécuter la même opération après l'arrêt et l'allumage à faible intensité [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

Pressure Atomizing Oil Burners.... Atomizing is accomplished by pumping the oil at pressure... through a suitable burner nozzle orifice which breaks it into a fine mist and swirls it into the combustion space as a cone-shaped spray. Combustion air from a fan is forced through the burner air-handling parts surrounding the oil nozzle and is directed into the oil spray. Thus, an intimate mixture of air and oil is produced.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
CONT

Les deux principaux [procédés] consistent (...) à vaporiser le mazout (...) [ou] à la pulvériser, soit par la rencontre d'un jet d'huile sous pression avec un jet d'air également sous pression, soit par frottement ou chocs contre des parties métalliques (pulvérisation mécanique).

Record 7 1990-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

Vaporizing pot-type burners can be divided into two groups : the natural-draft type and the forced-draft type.... In many instances these natural-draft vaporizing burners are regulated by a simple, float-operated constant-leveling valve equipped with a rotating flow-adjustment device which is turned manually.... These burners may also be wick-fed or have nothing but a metal vaporizing pot consisting of two or more perforated sleeves. In the latter case,... this burner is completely dependent upon natural draft for its combustion.

OBS

forced draft : Mechanical draft created by a device upstream from the combustion zone of an appliance to a chimney.

French

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
CONT

The pressure atomizing forced draft gun burner has a basic construction similar to that of the gun-type burner but this burner is designed to fire into a combustion chamber operated under positive pressure. The combustion process is independent of chimney draft and a draft regulator is not required except when excessively high stack drafts are encountered.

OBS

Residential Oil Burners.

OBS

Commercial-industrial oil burners. ... Pressure atomizing burners are designated commercially as forced draft or natural (or induced) draft burners.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fumisterie et brûleurs
OBS

Brûleurs à pulvérisation mécanique par pression. Dans ces dispositifs, le combustible liquide comprimé par une pompe est dirigé par un éjecteur, dont la forme provoque sa division et sa pulvérisation. (...) l'air de combustion peut être apporté par tirage naturel ou par air soufflé.

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

Oil furnaces. Indoor oil furnaces... are available in upflow, downflow, horizontal and low-boy configurations for ducted systems. They are also available as floor furnaces, wall furnaces, and free standing space heaters. Oil-fired outdoor furnaces and combination units are rare.... The ducted system, oil-fired, forced air furnaces are usually equipped with pressure-atomizing burners. The pump pressure and the orifice size of the injection nozzle regulate the firing rate of the furnace. Electric ignition is used to ignite the burners.... The combustion chamber and heat exchanger of oil-fired furnaces are normally formed as a common single chamber. It is formed from heavy gage steel into a welded assembly. The hot flue products flow through the inside of the heat exchanger into the chimney. The conditioned air flows over the outside of the heat exchanger and into the air supply plenum.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
CONT

Maison de fin de semaine (...) On peut prévoir aussi le chauffage par air chaud avec générateur à mazout ou à gaz et distributions par gaines.

OBS

Fournaise : Ce terme est considéré comme impropre par les puristes. Selon Dagenais, dans son "Dictionnaire des difficultés de la langue française au Canada", "fournaise" serait un calque de l'anglais "furnace" et nous devrions plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air. Cependant, ce terme reste d'usage fréquent au Québec, autant en langue parlée qu'en langue écrite.

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house.
