24 Inert Gas Generator KANGRIM DESCRIPTION The Oil Burner The Oil Bumer is of the mechanical high pressure atomising type. Oil gun and fuel oil nozzle are of bypass type. In the return line a pneumatically controlled capacity regulating valve (Item No. 0230) is mounted. ‘The burner runs as a duplex burner, where the oil consumption depends on size of nozzle and oil pressure in the return line. For safe start of the plant it is advisable to ignite the burner at low capacity, which means reduced oil and air to the burner. This is I.G.G. is built for running on light Marine DieseV/Gas oil. ‘The capacity is controlled by operation of push buttons in front of main control panel or sub panel in cargo control room. ‘The oil nozzle is as mentioned above of pressure atomising by-pass type. The oil is directed to the orifice through tangential and the oil to the burner leaves the nozzle as a thin rotating membrane, which is atomised just after the nozzle. The amused oil forms a cone, in which the top angle depends on the nozzle type and oil pressure. When oil pressure thus oil quantity is increased, the rotating velocity increases, and the atomising cone increases. (Higher oil pressure = higher oil quantity higher rotating velocity greater atomising cone.) ‘The oil gun is adjustable in axial direction to find the best position for the oil nozzle. A stuffing box around the oil gun with fibre-glass gasket avoids gas leakage. ‘The combustion air is supplied tangentially to the upper inlet duct on top of the burner unit. ‘This means that the air, already when entering the outer gas chamber, is brought into rotation. ‘The rotation is strengthened at the same time as the velocity increases through a number of vanes on the way via circular distribution opening (burner throat) into the combustion chamber, where combustion air and fuel oil are mixed. A small pan of air passes through a tube around the oil gun as “primary air”, ‘The primary air, blowing along:the oil gun prevents sealing of uncombusted oil particles on the fuel oil nozzle. For complete combustion it is necessary to mix the atomised fuel oil and combustl0n air as good as possible. This is obtained by high relative velocity between oil and gas. The axial air velocity at the oil nozzle must, however, not be higher than the rate of combustion, as this would mean that the flame would be Mown away from the nozzle. As mentioned before, a high rotating velocity is therefore obtained even at a low axial velocity at the center of the burner. il and air are rotated in opposite directions to increase the relative velocity.

Combustion air which Rows outside the internal 1g for coding, is supplied from the 5-7 bar working air system, and in this line a solenoid valve (Item No. 1520) is mounted. ‘The top plate into which the oil nozzle and spark plug are fitted, is removed by opening a cap nut. In the oil supply line one solenoid operated shut-off valve (Item No. 1580) is mounted. ‘The 10-15 em long pilot flame comes out through the tube, which connects the ignition burner to the front date of the main burner. Time from when the ignition spark plug is activated and the main burner is supplied with fuel oil is approximately 35 seconds. Fuel Oil Systems Main burner system consists of : ‘Two oil pumps with electric motors (Item No. 0820 and 0830). Duplex oil filter with double way valve (Item No. 0810). Connections to oil gun am made by flexible hoses. (Item No. 0840). The oil supply to main burner and oil return pipes are fined with two pneumatically operated valves with solenoid for control (ltem No. 1530 and 1560) and a pneumatic control valve (Item No. 0230) for fuel oil capacity control, Fuel oil consumption is determined by the div. values on a pressure gauge (Item No. 1660), fuel oil return, ‘A pressure control valve (Item No. 0800) is fined to the fuel oil pump by-pass line, between pipe line to burner and pipe line to fuel oil tank onboard. Connection to ignition burner (Item No. 0850). made by a solenoid valve (Item No. 1580) and a flexible hose KANGRIM INDUSTRIES CO., LTD. 19
