UltraClean Low Swirl Combustion
This low-swirl burner uses small air jets to swirl the premixed flow inside the burner tube, providing a stabilized lean premixed combustion. This ring stabilizer keeps the flame steady under both fuel-rich and lean conditions and helps produce more complete combustion, which increases efficiency and reduces pollution. Burning a Cleaner Flame Humankind has been … [Read more...] about UltraClean Low Swirl Combustion
