  2. Flame lift-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_lift-off

    Flame lift-off in oil fired pressure jet burners is an unwanted condition in which the flame and burner become separated. This condition is most commonly created by excessive combustion air and often results in the loss of flame as the photoelectric cell fails to register the light of the flame, this in turn results in a safety lockout of the control box.

  4. Staged combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion

    One form of fuel staged combustion is the procedure known as burner out of service (BOOS). [4] The technique involves shutting off the fuel flow from one burner or more to create fuel-rich and fuel-lean zones, achieving some NO x emission control (10%). The technique is not widely used in pulverized coal-fired plants (2 units, 350 MW e).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

    The appliance efficiency of a gas-fired balanced flue local space heater in pilot light mode is almost equal with the appliance efficiency measured at the reduced power of the appliance, which efficiency is between 65–95% based on the low calorific value of the consumed gas, making part of the pilot light's energy consumption into useful heat.

  7. Pulverized coal-fired boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulverized_coal-fired_boiler

    The powdered coal from the pulverizer is directly blown to a burner in the boiler. The burner mixes the powdered coal in the air suspension with additional pre-heated combustion air and forces it out of a nozzle similar in action to fuel being atomized by a fuel injector in an internal combustion engine. Under operating conditions, there is ...

  9. Kerosene heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene_heater

    The burner is designed to properly oxygenate and distribute the flames. The flame height is controlled by raising or lowering the exposed wick height inside the burner unit via an adjusting mechanism. The kerosene heater is extinguished by fully retracting the wick into a cavity below the burner, which will snuff out the flame.
