Soft (flameless) combustion technology


Release time:

2022-02-21

Soft combustion is also called flameless combustion. The main feature is that there is no flame surface, that is, the chemical reaction occurs in the entire combustion chamber area, the combustion is more uniform, the temperature gradient is small, and there is no local high temperature zone, so NOx emissions are even more than axial classification. One order of magnitude lower [1]. Kruse et al. [2] studied the relationship between NOx and CO emissions and equivalent ratio in soft combustion, as shown in Figure 1.
