Paper presented at the 6th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, South Africa, 30 June - 2 July, 2008.
It is very important for China to reduce the consumption of
petroleum under the pressure of hers fundamental realities of
lean-oil--rich-coal and the consistently increasing price of
international crude oil. For this reason, we developed series of
minimal-oil igniting burners applied on the boilers in power
stations to reduce the oil consumption for ignition. The most
significant characteristic of the burners is the average ignitingoil
reduction by over 95%. This superior performance can be
assured by some built-in igniting oil guns and by some novel
designs for the minimal-oil burners. Up to now, the technology
has achieved remarkable success on over 30 power units in
China.
