Catalytic combustion converter systems and catalysts

Abstract

The pipe's inner surface is treated by electodeposited elements of a heterogeneous catalyst consisting of Platinum, Palladium and rhodium. There are air tubes that are fed by a low pressure high volume air blower, that is connected to an air regulator and to an air collector that diverts the air flow into two separate tubes that enter the burner pipe 180 degrees apart from each other, entering the burner pipe at a 45 degree angle ⅔ the distance from the mounting flange to the burner pipes end. The treated burner pipe is mounted to a burner by a flange or other means. When the burner is ignited and pipe reaches 1000° to 1200° F. the catalyst is activated and air is added until the optimum stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is reached, which is dependant on the fuel used and the content of unburned fuel in the burner.
