The Construction Of Two Face Gas Burner

The Construction Of Two Face Gas Burner

Abstract

The development and production of a two-face gas burner is the subject of this project. The burner, injector opening, mixing tube, burner support, etc. are the main parts of the gas components. Steel with a medium carbon content was used to build the gas range. The cost and local availability of the material influence the choice. The cooking pot’s distance from the stove burner is 40 mm, and there is a 5 mm space between each port. In this design, mixing tubes with lengths of 80mm, inner tube diameters of 15mm, and gap diameters of 2.5mm between each port were used. According to the findings, average, minimal, and ideal efficiencies of 56.894%, 46.02%, and 63.87%, respectively, were attained. Additionally, an average mass of 3.5 kg of water, 0.0208 kg of water that had evaporated, and 0.0551 kg of fuel were measured. The use of wood and other fossil fuels will be reduced with the development and use of two-face biogas fuel stoves, which speeds up the cooking process and reduces the release of dangerous gases into the environment.

Introduction

1.1 Study’s Background

Devices that produce heat (thermal energy) from burning fuel are referred to as fuel burning devices and are necessary for technical operations, particularly in industry [Kittle, 2000]. There are so many different types of burners and fuels. Biodiesel, ethanol, vegetable oil, and other fuels are examples of this type. The three types of burning appliances that utilise this fuel are the oil burners, liquid fuel burners, and combined gas liquid fuel burners. A burner can be categorized by the type of fuel it burns, but it can also be made based on combustion chamber geometry, the type of oxidizer it uses, and the criteria for heat transfer, such as flame temperature and heat distribution, among other things. The oxy-fuel burner and air fuel burner are typical examples of burners that are produced based on the type of oxidizer [Baukal, 2014].

The development of a high velocity burner for furnace operation is one of the activities related to the building and testing of burners that were examined. The burner nozzle, mixing tube, downstream section, and cross-connected regulator for air fuel ratio control are the key parts of this burning device. In order to combine the fuel and air, forced draft is used [Ighodalo, 2010]. The goal of the Design, Construction, and Performance Evaluation of a Biogas Burner was to modify and increase the burner’s effectiveness [Obada, 2018]. Additionally created and evaluated for culinary applications are porous radiant burners that utilise liquid petroleum gas [Mishra et al., 2013]. Other authors focused their attention on the theory of gas flow through various types of orifices when studying the Design and Construction of Atmospheric Gas Burners [Walter, 2017].

Burners of various kinds have been built for use in the kiln at the University of Maiduguri’s Faculty of Arts to fire or dry items like bricks. A typical illustration is a burner that exclusively burns kerosene. The nozzle, manual pump, hose, and fuel tank make up the burner. The manual pump, which is placed at a small aperture on the gasoline tank, provides the pressure necessary for ignition. Then, as the kerosene comes into touch with the heat produced by the kiln’s rings, it flows through the nozzle. This kind of burner falls under the category of a liquid fuel burner.

Similar to this, a burner that exclusively consumes used or waste engine oil has its fuel tank at a specific height and uses energy to power the electric motor and aid in the rotation of the blower, which gives the air necessary for combustion as the used engine oil runs through the burner. Despite the limited number of burner types, they are not designed for use in foundry applications. Additionally, because used motor oil is readily available, it becomes necessary to build an admixture burner in order to conduct foundry operations.

In order to provide customers with an alternative to electric burners, this paper describes the findings of the design, building, and testing of a two-faced gas burner. The development of a two-face gas burner will significantly increase the portability of gas burners and enable asynchronous usage due to the ability to place two objects on the burner simultaneously. It marks the beginning of the nation’s adoption of a useful technology. Despite the fact that there are many different types of gas burners on the market, particularly those that are imported, we felt it was vital to continue working on it as a method to modify the brand while including cast in that modification.

1.2 Definition of the Issue

Different individuals and institutions have developed various designs and developments for cooking tools in an effort to create an affordable method of cooking. However, every design has a peculiar restriction, particularly in relation to the environment in which it is being used. We were able to appreciate the significance of this particular task by taking a look at the various sorts of burners that were accessible. There are a lot of single-faced burners on the market right now. As a result, cooking takes longer because one thing must finish cooking before the next can be started. Time and resources are wasted as a result of this.

Although there are already two face burners on the market, the majority of them do not follow the minimal gas combustion principle. They squander more fuel than necessary since they have two faces. This study attempts to address the issue at hand by creating a two-face gas burner that can operate asynchronously, produce little heat, and use the least amount of fuel possible.

1.3 Purpose and Goals of the Study

The construction of a two face gas burner is the primary goal of this study. The outlined objectives were as follows in order to accomplish the stated goal:

i. Create a burner that uses total gas combustion and doesn’t endanger the user’s health or the environment.

ii. The burner should be secure, straightforward, and simple to use and maintain.

iii. The burner needs to be able to generate enough usable heat with the least amount of energy waste.

1.4 Importance of the Research

The culinary sector will benefit greatly from this effort because it will help to improve the combustion process. Specifically,

1. Because the two face burners may be used simultaneously, cooking time would be sped up.

2. Because the gas cylinder is made to hold a lot of kerosene, which burns for a long time, it can be utilized for commercial reasons (restaurants and hotels).

3. Since the atomization and evaporation of the gas help it to burn correctly in the presence of oxygen, it does not produce soot on the utensil used on it.

1.5 Study’s Purpose and Limitations

The redesign of a two-face burner using a High Static Gas Burner (HSG) product to mix the gas and air combination before it ignites is shown in this study. The firing range for this burner is between 60,000 and 400,000 Btu per hour. The burner will be redesigned with the intention of enhancing its general performance. The port of a driven gas burner using both natural and propane gases is the subject of this design project. The port’s job is to start the fuel gas flowing into the air stream in a powered gas burner. Comparing the new burner port to the original burner, combustion efficiency is increased by 3%. This new burner runs within a larger excess air range of 5% on both the rich and lean side, reliably igniting, and maintaining CO levels below 400 ppm. The rebuilt burner satisfies every requirement of the ANSI Z21.17 standard for home gas conversion burners, which was created by the American National Standards Institute. The newly designed burner’s burner head has corrosion-resistant qualities due to the use of corrosion-resistant fasteners and the fact that the burner was machined from 304 stainless steel.
