The conventional gas burners for domestic and commercial applications not only have low thermal efficiency but emit harmful emissions into the environment due to the high presence of carbon monoxide & nitrogen oxide in flame. Investigations were carried on the development of ceramic components for the replacement of metallic burner casing, metallic burner base, and burners by the combination of ceramic materials like Silicon Carbide & Cordierite. A development study on burners and their thermal efficiency was carried out on two types of porous radiant burners (PRB). The thermal efficiency of both burners was found to be around 56-65%.
The carbon monoxide emission from PRB was found to be 54-58 ppm in comparison of 355-545 ppm of the conventional burner system. NOx emission was 2.10 - 5.00 ppm for PRB in comparison to 28-56 ppm of conventional burners. This work has been done as a mission of clean energy & sustainable solution for LPG Gas burners & stoves. These burners are not only energy efficient but also produces convection cum radiant heat & emits far infra-red rays, which belong to the positive spectrum of light operating at a frequency bandwidth of 300GHz to 430-THz.
In both the burner systems, ceramic materials with low thermal expansion, high thermal shock resistance and good thermal conductivity were used and assembly was developed. Complete burner component system with the use of ceramics is eco-friendly in manufacturing as well as in use.
