[Stoves] Interesting paper about Heating with TLUD gasifier

[Crispin Pembert-Pigott]

Dear Roberto

 

>One of the interesting thing, is the burner they use. They said "Gasogen is
a fuel gas with low caloric value and for an efficient combustion it uses
specialized burners type FLOX"

 

¿Someone know this type of burner? ¿Are this type of burner more clean that
a "standard" TLUD burner ?

 

Flameless oxidation is used (mostly) with kerosene and the Japanese are by
far leading the field as far as I hear. There is a Zambian guy who did his
PhD in the examination of the spray nozzles needed to do it with kerosene.
He is involved in the world of stoves. He used lasers to examine the spray
characteristics which are critical to getting the oxidation of carbon to
take place without any visible flame at all. It is all about the nozzles.
FLOX combustion chambers are pretty large and the heat is kept away from the
walls.

 

I don’t see in the paper anything that comes close to what FLOX means in the
rest of the literature. Do you have any idea what they think FLOX means?

 

Regards

Crispin
