in radiant tubes
The high outlet velocity of the combustion gases generates a
pressure at the outlet of the ceramic burner tube, resulting in
the recirculation of the flue gases. This leads to the following:
– a reduction in NOx emissions,
– a uniform radiant tube temperature.
The hot flue gases are fed through the ceramic or metallic heat
exchanger, heating the additional supply of cold combustion
air flowing in the opposite direction. The maximum achievable
air preheat temperature amounts to approx. 700°C, depend-
ing on the application.
