Abstract
Combustion characteristics of industrial radiant tube (RT) burners with forced oscillating combustion technology are investigated using a real-scale (125,000 kcal/h) industrial RT burner facility in both laboratory and field tests. Three different types of industrial RT burners using a by-product gas from the iron-and-steelmaking process are examined in a laboratory facility equipped with a W-type RT. During the field tests, an industrial RT burner is characterized in a large facility equipped with multiple RTs. Their performance and emission controls are investigated under diverse operating conditions. The feasibility of the forced oscillating combustion technology is evaluated by the extent of $NO_x$ reduction and the efficiency improvement. These improvements are able to save energy, extend the RT lifetime, and enhance productivity. The operating conditions that achieve the best performance and emission control for each RT burner are determined.
