Experimental Study of Temperature Distribution in a Cyclone-Vortex Furnace

This article describes the experience and results of experimental study of the temperature distribution in the refractory lining of the gas and liquid fuel cyclone-vortex furnace (CVF). Temperatures were measured with type K thermocouples. Most of the thermocouples are located a depth of 25 mm from the surface combustion chamber. With increasing boiler load observed decrease in temperature and increase of plating unevenness of the temperature distribution in the combustion chamber. This is due to the redistribution of heat generated between the combustion chamber and the firebox as the load increases. The results of heat transfer studies in CVF will lead to a reduction in the thickness of the lining, modernization of the CVF structure. In the future, abandon the use of refractory lining in CVF
