Combustion analysis of porous radiant burner for commercial cooking applications

Abstract

High efficiency and low efficiency were observed by using porous burner technology for commercial cooking. The whole research consists of survey of these three types of burners. Like burners diameter having convergent 100mm, straight 100mm and80mm divergent shape burner. LPG is the fuel i.e. liquid petroleum gas is used in the all experiment. The two zones combustion and preheating zones comprise by a porous burner. Preheating zone having steel balls of width 6.5mm where combustion zone has Sic matric of 10ppi was used. 150mm is the constant altitude of three burners comprise of combustion zone and having equivalence ratio from 0.10-0.60. The range at which burner was operated 79% is the maximum efficiency analyzed for porous burner having dimensions like 100mm diameter at power equal to 0.84 kW and equivalence ratio (Φ) equal to 0.49.
