Regenerative Burner

Regenerative Heating Furnace
The Regenerative Burner is a high-efficiency industrial combustion solution designed for furnaces requiring continuous, high-temperature operation. The Regenerative Burner Combustion System utilizes a dual-burner configuration that alternates between combustion and heat recovery. Waste heat from exhaust gases is captured in ceramic media and reused to preheat combustion air—achieving up to 35–50% fuel savings while significantly reducing CO₂ and NOx emissions.
  • Free combination on demand to meet various working conditions

Features and Technical Specifications.

  • Superior Heat Recovery

    Preheats combustion air up to 1,000 °C (at furnace temperatures of 1,200 °C).

  • Low-NOx Performance

    Optional flameless combustion with NOx emissions < 70 ppm (@ 3% O₂).

  • Wide Output Range

    Standard models from 500 kW to 6 MW, custom solutions up to 15 MW.

  • Flexible Turn-Down Ratio

    Standard 4:1; customizable for broader control needs.

  • Versatile Fuel Compatibility

    Works with natural gas, LPG, coke oven gas, light oil, and hydrogen-rich gases.

  • Modular Regenerator Unit

    Filled with high-alumina ceramic balls or structured honeycomb for easy maintenance.

  • Integrated Safety System

    Includes a Burner Management System (BMS), UV flame scanner, and complies with NFPA 86 / EN 746-2 safety codes.

Applications.

  • The Regenerative Burner Combustion System is ideal for energy-intensive thermal processes that demand uniform, high-temperature heating, such as:

  • Billet reheating furnaces and forging furnaces in the steel industry

  • Aluminum and copper melting furnaces

  • Heat treatment furnaces and roller hearth furnaces

  • High-temperature kilns in glass, ceramic, and chemical production

Layout and Installation Requirements.

  • Burner Port Size

    Brick-lined burner inlets range from 510 mm to 860 mm depending on burner size.

  • Flexible Regenerator Placement

    Can be mounted laterally or remotely above the furnace, suiting various space constraints.

  • System Requirements

    Fuel pressure ≥ 100 mbar; combustion air ≥ 60 mbar; an induced draft fan is needed to maintain negative pressure.

  • Control Optimization

    K-type thermocouples are recommended at regenerator exits for precise switching control.
