The ratio of natural gas burners to combustion air is critical to ensure combustion efficiency and energy savings. Here are some details on this topic.

The importance of combustion ratio

In the process of natural gas combustion, the correct ratio of fuel gas and combustion air is the key to ensure complete combustion and improve thermal efficiency. The ideal ratio can ensure that the fuel gas molecules and oxygen molecules in the air are fully contacted, so as to achieve efficient combustion.

The specific value of the combustion ratio

According to theoretical calculations, the optimal volume ratio of natural gas (mainly methane) to combustion air is 1:10. This means that one volume of methane requires two volumes of oxygen to burn completely, and the volume fraction of oxygen in the air is about 21%, so about 10 volumes of air are needed to provide enough oxygen.

Techniques to improve combustion efficiency

In order to improve the energy saving effect of natural gas burner, it is necessary to focus on improving the mixing efficiency of gas and combustion air. This involves the design of burner, including the inlet design of gas and air, the design of mixing chamber, etc., to ensure that gas and air can be mixed quickly and evenly.

Structural characteristics of the burner

Natural gas burners are usually designed in a modular way, with a simple structure that is easy to operate and maintain. Air and gas are initially mixed inside the burner, so that the gas burns fully, the flame is stable, no backfire or fire off. This design helps improve combustion efficiency and safety.

epilogue

To sum up, the ideal ratio of natural gas burner to combustion air is 1:10, which is calculated based on the amount of oxygen required for complete combustion of methane. In addition, by optimizing the burner design to improve the mixing efficiency of gas and combustion air, the combustion efficiency and energy saving effect can be further improved.
