Abstract

The goal of this research to increase the combustion efficiency of gaseous fuel in furnaces, while decreasing the atmospheric emissions. Such emissions may be decreased by electrical, magnetic–electrical, and electromagnetic treatment of the gas and air fluxes in the burner. The individual treatments and their combination are considered. The physicochemical aspects of combustion are studied experimentally on a modular system. In the experiments, individual gas and oxidant fluxes are activated by magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Theoretical and experimental data reveal the interactions of the components in the fluxes. Information is obtained regarding the action of magnetic and electric fields on gas and air fluxes and also regarding the environmental impact of the gas emissions. Magnetic–electric treatment increases the reactivity of the fuel and the intensity of fuel combustion. The temperature of the flame and exhaust gases is increased, while the content of carbon oxides is decreased.
