ABSTRACT:
An improved waste gas cyclone combustor designed to operate with acceptable pressure losses when utilizing low calorific gases such as industrial waste gases of differing heating values. The improvement consists of the installation of one or more additional tangential inlet ports with valves which can be opened when the waste gas is of richer quality than the minimum quality for which the combustor is designed. Use of the additional port(s) reduces the inlet velocity which in turn reduces the inlet pressure drop losses to balance the increased chamber drag and outlet pressure drop resulting from the higher combustion temperature of the richer gas. This reduction in inlet velocity, when utilizing richer waste gases, is consistent with the fact that richer gases do not require swirl ratios as high as leaner gases. Therefore, the tangential inlet velocity can be reduced to the extent that the reduction in inlet pressure loss is about equal or even exactly equal to the increase in chamber drag and outlet pressure loss caused by the higher temperature and volume of the combustion products of the richer gas. Thus, a substantially balanced design is achieved with optimum aerodynamical combustion characteristics at minimum pressure loss. The invention is applicable, for example, to carbon black plant waste gases, which vary in calorific value depending upon what grade of carbon black is being produced.
