Original Abstract

The impact of different atomizing media on the combustion of liquid fuels is tested in this article. As atomizing media the compressed air and the superheated steam were chosen. The tests were performed in the horizontal water-cooled combustion chamber. The Methyl-ester of rapeseed oil was chosen for tests. The atomization of liquid fuel was realized using the effervescent atomizer. The gas-to-liquid (GLR) ratio was held at 15, 20 and 25 %. The observed characteristics were the inflame temperature, NOx and CO emissions, heat transfer and the quality and the stability of the combustion. The results revealed the atomizing media has a significant effect on combustion characteristics. The combustion using the compressed air showed higher heat transfer for about 6 % and higher NOx emission for about 13 % (compared to atomization using superheated steam). The effect of atomizing media on inflame temperature was likewise substantial.
