A premixed type burner and a solenoid type oscillating control valve were designed and used. The fuel was used commercial LPG in this study and the fuel flow was oscillated by periodically opening and shutoff of the solenoid valve. From the tests, it was found that NOx emission, compared to no oscillation, could be reduced by 32% at 2.0 Hz. However, as oscillating frequency was increased, abatement of NOx emission was gradually reduced. At the high NOx abatement of 1.0 Hz, carbon monoxide was emitted above 10,000 ppm. Although rate of NOx abatement was low, oscillation condition of 2.5 Hz and duty ratio of 10-30% was recommended for low carbon monoxide emission. From the measurement of furnace heating time from 100 ℃ to 720 ℃, it was shown that heat transfer was increased by 11.5% at 2 Hz oscillating frequency. Temperature distribution of radiant tube surface was more uniform at 2 Hz oscillating frequency with drop of the peak temperature and rise of low temperature. From these results, it was confirmed that oscillating combustion was useful in radiant tube burner system.展开更多

In addition, the energy saving potential of the novel heating system is discussed in terms of the COP (coefficient of performance) of the ground source heat pump and the exergy efficiency of the radiant terminal. The results indicate that the heating system shows high thermal stability and thermal comfort. When the system reaches a stable condition, the radiant heat transfer accounts for 62.7% of the total heat transfer, and the total heat transfer can meet the heating demands of most buildings. Compared to a radiant floor heating system, it offers advantages in a shorter preheating time, a lower supply water temperature and a stronger heating capability. The COP of the ground source heat pump is increased greatly when the supply water temperature is 28 to 33 ℃, and the exergy efficiency of the metal ceiling with capillary tubes is 1.6 times that of the radiant floor when the reference temperature is 5 ℃ The novel radiant ceiling heating system shows a tremendous energy saving potential.展开更多
