A gas burner system converts gas efficiently into heat and enables precise control for a wide range of output requirements. Smaller burners up to around 10 MW are usually designed as monobloc burners, where the combustion air fan is integrated directly into the burner. Larger systems, on the other hand, use external fans and often separate pilot burners for reliable initial ignition at higher outputs.
For smaller burners (< 1 MW), a simple, two-stage control system is usually used, which is activated depending on the steam pressure in the boiler. Continuously controlled, modulated burners are used for higher outputs. Modern systems rely on an electronic control system that uses electrical control valves for the gas and air supply instead of a mechanical connection valve. These are optimally adjusted and monitored by a burner control system to ensure safety and efficiency.
The use of the
RGQ 5 from RMG optimizes the functionality of gas burner systems. The
RGQ 5 is used to
determine gas quality by precisely determining key parameters such as
calorific value,
methane number and
Wobbe index . This data is integrated directly into the burner control system, whereby the fuel-air ratio is dynamically adjusted based on the current gas composition. This
minimizes exhaust gas losses,
increases efficiency and
improves process reliability.
Special gas burners, such as porous burners, work with catalytic converters and thus reduce nitrogen oxide emissions while increasing heat yield. The integration of the RGQ 5 into such systems enables even more precise control and contributes to the optimization of emission control.
