The paper presents results of theoretical numerical research dealing with CO
and NOX emission performed in the process of optimization of the performance
of low-power atmospheric burners. The theoretical part of this paper, whose
main goals were better understanding of the complex issues of methodology
and establishment of performance prediction and optimization of low-power
atmospheric gas burner included numerical variation of independent
parameters, such as burner geometry, the coefficients of primary and
secondary air and different gaseous fuels including biogas. The findings of
theoretically obtained performance prediction and optimization of
atmospheric burners were experimentally investigated in purpose built test
rigs for a number of variable parameters. The obtained results fully
justified the proposed models of performance prediction and burner
optimization.
