METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING PROCESS OF FLARING FUEL COMBUSTION Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC F23C99/00 F23N1/02 

FIELD: heat power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat power engineering, in particular to methods for optimizing the combustion process of fuel. The method includes supplying fuel and air to the burner, contactless temperature measurement in the flame, determining the point with the maximum temperature along its longitudinal axis, monitoring and regulating the temperature parameters in the burning flame. Wherein, after determining the point with the maximum temperature along the longitudinal axis of the flame, this temperature value is stored, then the air flow rate is changed by a preselected discrete step, the point along the longitudinal axis of the flame with the maximum temperature is again found and this value is compared with the previously found value, and the direction of the change in the air flow rate by the next step is associated with the sign of the temperature increment in the last two measurements, and this cycle is repeated until the temperature at the next measurement is higher than the previous one, and the found fuel/air consumption ratio is kept constant until the fuel consumption or its calorific value changes.

EFFECT: invention increases efficiency of fuel use, simplifies the regulation of the fuel combustion process and reduces the measurement error of the air flow rate, which ensures complete combustion of the fuel at the highest possible temperature.
