The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the catalytic burner to bum LPG and toluene alternately which can be applied to the dryer of an acryl coating process of textile. It was difficult to obtain complete conversion when the catalytic burner was installed to downward direction. The catalytic burner was improved by introducing the forced diffusion combustion air and the premixing air. The optimal operating conditions for the newly improved catalytic burner were obtained. The catalytic burner for toluene mixture was also investigated to incinerate toluene mixture exhausted from drying process. Results showed that the catalytic burner could oxidize toluene mixture completely at the proper operating conditions. Finally, the catalytic burner to bum LPG and toluene alternately was applied to the dryer of acryl coating. By using the catalytic burner, benefits of energy savings and environmental protection were obtained.

A catalytic burner was studied which can be used as a heater operated in medium temperature. Noble metal catalysts (Pd/NiO) were used, which were supported on alumina wash coated honeycomb. The maximum heat-resisting temperature of the catalyst is about 900.deg. C. Combustion efficiency of the catalytic burner reached more than 99.5 % at the excess air ratio above 1.25.NOx emissions were lower than 1.0 ppm at all operation conditions. The operation condition for a stable catalytic combustion was obtained. It was dependent on the catalyst thickness. The 30 mm thick catalyst showed the widest stable catalytic combustion region. Stable catalytic combustion region of 30 mm thick catalyst was the operation condition of excess air ratio 1.25 - 1.75 and heat flux 7 - 14 kcal/h center dot cm$^{2}$.

화염 없이 연소가 일어나고 원적외선 복사열을 활용할 수 있는 매트 촉매버너를 제작하여 연소실험과 전열특성 분석을 수행하였다. 매트 촉매버너를 이용한 예혼합 연소실험에서 연소열의 9~17% 정도가 현열로 배출되었으며, 연소조건에 따라 차이를 보였다. 촉매버너와 시료 사이 거리증가에 따라 복사강도가 적어졌는데, 매트 촉매버너 아래에서 거리에 따라 변하는 복사에너지 흡수면적을 계산할 수 있는 수식을 유도하였다. 이 식을 멜라민 건조실험 결과와 비교하여 상관성이 있음을 보였다. 매트 촉매버너를 이용하여 멜라민, wood chip, 농산 pallet 등에 대한 건조실험을 수행하고, 이들의 건조속도로부터 에너지 이용효율을 계산하였다. 매트 촉매버너를 이용한 건조에서 최대 에너지 이용효율은 wood chip 건조에서 79% 정도까지 얻을 수 있었다.

Self-catalytic behavior of combustion-synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is evaluated using a double-faced wall stagnation flow burner with a CNT-deposited stainless steel plate wall. CNT formation is observed using field-emission scanning and transmission electron microscopies and Raman spectroscopy. A self-catalytic behavior of multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) shows the enhanced ratio of channel diameter to tube wall thickness and the enhanced intensity ratio of G-band to D-band in Raman spectroscopy, implying that the quality of metal-catalytic, flame-synthesized MWCNTs can be much improved via a CNT self-catalytic flame-synthesis process. Thus, using a DWSF burner through the self-catalytic process has potential in mass production of CNTs having much improved quality.

A catalytic burner has been developed to utilize thermal energy from the fossil fuel without nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission. The burner is shaped into a mat to maximize the heating surface. Premixed combustion has been developed to be used in a closed chamber, such as a radiation type industrial dryer. The burner yields the thermal energy in the form of thermal radiation in the infrared regime, which is proved to be effective to dry organic substances for low moisture condition. Thermal efficiency including the sensible heat is better correlated to the moisture compared to the dry rate.

Recently, a fuel reforming plant for supplying high purity hydrogen has been studied to increase the operation time of underwater weapon systems. Since steam reforming is an endothermic reaction, it is necessary to continuously supply heat to the reactor. A fuel reforming plant needs a methanol-O₂ catalytic burner to obtain heat and supply heat to the reformer. In this study, two types of designs of a catalytic burner are presented and the results are analyzed through the experiments. The design of the catalytic burner is divided into that the O₂ supply direction is perpendicular to the methanol flow direction (Design 1) and the same as the methanol flow direction (Design 2). In case of Design 1, backfire and flame combustion occurred in the mixing space in front of the catalyst, and in the absence of the mixing space, combustion reaction occurred only in a part of the catalyst. For above reasons, Design 1 could not increase the exhaust gas temperature to 750℃. In Design 2, no flashback and flame combustion were observed, the exhaust gas could be maintained up to 750℃. However, the O₂ distributor was exposed to high temperatures, resulting in thermal damage.

A pivotal mechanical balance of plant for 75kW class molten carbonate fuel cells comprise of a catalytic burner and an ejector which has been designed and tested in KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute). The catalytic burner, which oxidizes residual fuel in the anode tail gas, was operated at several conditions. Some problems arose due to local overheating or auto-ignition, which could limit the catalyst life. The catalytic burner was designed by considering both gas mixing and gas velocity. Test results showed that the temperature distribution is very uniform. In addition, an ejector is a fluid machinery to be utilized for mixing fluids, maintaining vacuum, and transporting them. The ejector is placed at mixing point between the anode off gas and the cathode off gas or the fresh air Several ejectors were designed and tested to form a suction on the fuel tail gas and balance the differential pressures between anode and cathode over a range of operating conditions. The tests showed that the design of the nozzle and throat played an important role in balancing the anode tail and cathode inlet gas pressures. The 75kW MCFC system built in our ejector and catalytic burner was successfully operated from Novembe, 2008 to April, 2009. It recorded the voltage of 104V at the current of 754A and reached the maximum generating power of 78.5kW DC. The results for both stand-alone and integration into another balance of plant are discussed.

매트형태의 연소촉매를 사용하는 촉매연소 버너는 발생 열을 원적외선 형태로 피 가열체에 공급할 수 있기 때문에 저온 공정에서 효율적으로 열을 사용할 수 있다. 매트형태 촉매연소 버너의 활용 가능성을 높이기 위해 촉매연소버너를 제작하고 구조에 따른 연소성능에 대해 고찰하였다. 확산식 촉매연소에서는 연소면의 방향이 연소반응에 많은 영향을 주며, 촉매 주위 온도변화에 따른 산소의 확산속도 차이가 촉매 연소 반응 속도에 많은 영향을 주는 것을 알았다. 예혼합 촉매연소에서 연소공기는 이론공기량 보다 조금 많게 공급하는 것이 최적이고, 연소열의 70% 이상이 복사로 전달됨을 알았다.

인체에 유해한 질소산화물($NO_x$)의 생성을 억제하면서 열효율을 높일 수 있는 새로운 버너의 개념으로 촉매 버너가 제안되었고 본 연구에서는 대표적인 에너지 다소비 설비인 건조기에 사용하기 위한 촉매버너를 개발하였다. 산업용 건조기에 활용하기 위해 촉매버너는 평평한 매트 형태로 제작되어 열전달 면적을 극대화하였고 밀폐 공간인 건조실에 활용하기 위하여 예혼합 연소방식을 적용하였다. 새로 개발된 촉매 버너를 산업용 건조기에 적용하여 실험한 결과 열에너지가 원적외선 형태로 공급되어 감율건조 영역에서 식품과 같은 유기물을 효과적으로 건조할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 건조기의 열효율은 건조속도보다 피건조물의 함수율에 보다 큰 상관관계를 나타내었다.

Human has faced in lack of fossil fuel and environmental crisis because of high population growth and development of industry. Hydrogen, unlimited amount and clean resource from water electrolysis, is remarkably known as the solution of recent energy crisis. One of the special characteristics of hydrogen is that a little amount of catalytic such as platinum and palladium makes nonflammable combustion, in other words catalyst combustion. Catalytic combustion fueled by hydrogen is environmentally friendly. This paper considers some comparisons of characteristic of catalytic combustion between a single layer of platinum catalyst, double layer of platinum and nickel catalysts and mixture of platinum and nickel catalysts. Some experiments of temperature distribution at different positions and characteristic of combustion in low temperature region were done in order to find an applicable possibility as a house-cooking burner.
