GAS APPLICATION
By using oxygen (oxy-fuel) instead of air as an oxidising agent, considerably higher temperatures can be achieved in a shorter time. Furthermore, fuel consumption is reduced and process efficiency increases.
Advantages of Oxyfuel burner systems at a glance:
- Higher combustion efficiency
- Higher melting rate
- Faster heating-up times
- Lower fuel consumption
- Higher processing temperatures possible
- Faster reaction speeds
- Lower exhaust gas levels
- Less dust
- Lower emissions
- Lower production costs
Possible savings when using oxyfuel burners for pre-heating crucibles and ladles:
Ladle dimensions [t] |
0,5 - 250 |
Energy savings [%] |
35 - 65 |
MESSER SOLUTION
In addition to the gases required for your process, Messer offers a variety of equipment for its optimisation under the brand names Oxipyr and Oxijet.
In order to select the optimum system, experts from Messer first carry out a comprehensive process analysis. Following calculations and basic engineering, suggestions are made for optimisation and further procedures.
Oxipyr – Burner Technology
The characteristics of the burner types are multi-faceted and range from low to high momentum burners, oxy-fuel to oxygen/air mixing burners and burners for different fuels or fuel combinations. The systems are controlled manually, semi- or fully automatically following compositions or temperature.
