ABSTRACT:
A heat exchange apparatus to heat hydrocarbon liquid fuel that is particularly useful for a combustion system and method of operation that by fuel in a heat exchanger and avoids undesirable thermal fuel deposits that would otherwise reduce the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. The invention provides a means to mix a relatively large amount of non-condensable gas with the fuel prior to gasification heating thus reducing the residence time of the fuel adjacent to the hot surface. The non-condensable gas may be air, a cryogenic such as methane, or a chemical fraction of the gasified fuel which by itself does of promote the formation of significant amounts of gums or coke deposits.
