Oil Burner With Monitoring
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An oxy-oil burner with monitoring, comprising:
- an oil lance having an oil nozzle at a tip end, and an oil inlet distal from the tip end;
a primary oxidant passage surrounding the oil lance;
an oil nozzle temperature sensor positioned in the oil nozzle at the tip end of the oil lance;
an oil inlet temperature sensor positioned near the oil inlet;
an oil pressure sensor positioned near the oil inlet passage; and
an instrument enclosure for receiving data from the sensors;
wherein the oil nozzle temperature, the oil supply temperature, and the oil supply pressure in combination are usable to indicate the presence or absence of an abnormal burner condition.

12. A method of determining an operating condition of an oxy-oil burner including an oil lance having an oil nozzle, a primary oxidant passage surrounding the oil lance, and a burner block having a face adjacent to the furnace, the method comprising:
-
receiving data for burner parameters from one or more sensors selected from the group of temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, position sensors, angle sensors, and combinations thereof; determining expected values for the burner parameters; comparing the received parameter data with the burner parameter expected values to determine a deviation in the burner parameter; and indicating that maintenance is required if the deviation in the burner parameter in a specified direction is greater than or equal to a specified threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
