A high efficiency laminar flow burner system for proving a stream of heat energy including a supply input module for providing fuel and laminar streams of air to a combustion manifold. The laminar air delivery system includes a damper, a blower, and an air delivery controller. The air delivery controller receives an efficiency signal to control the flow of a laminar air intake stream by adjusting the damper. The combustion manifold includes an air-fuel mixing system, a stoichiometric unit, and a refractory unit each coupled to one another. The laminar air intake stream traveling from the supply input module passes through a stoichiometric unit body to meet with a first combustion stream from an air-fuel mixing chamber within the stoichiometric unit body to define a second combustion stream. The second combustion stream then travels across the refractory passageway to define a third combustion stream.

A high efficiency laminar flow burner system for proving a stream of heat energy including a supply input module for providing fuel and laminar streams of air to a combustion manifold. The combustion manifold includes an air-fuel mixing system, a stoichiometric unit, and a refractory unit each coupled to one another. A first combustion stream is established at the air-fuel mixing chamber system as fuel exits an injector device at direction perpendicular to the laminar air intake stream. A laminar air intake stream traveling from the supply input module and along the staging passageway passes through a stoichiometric unit body at a plurality of air intakes to meet with the first combustion stream within to define a second combustion stream for introduction from the stoichiometric unit to the refractory unit. The refractory unit thus defines a third combustion stream as the second combustion stream travels across a refractory passageway.

A furnace which receives input information of various sources, distinct from a thermostat, and can vary heat output based on the input information. Examples of input information include without limitation exhaust temperature, temperature near the heat exchanger compartment, temperature sensors within the housing, air pressure, motor RPM, and/or motor amperage. Heat output may be varied by one or more of combustion fan output, fuel flow to burners, combinations or other ways.

A gas regulating unit (10) for fail-safe regulation of a gas, specifically in a gas heater (1) or a gas burner, has a communication interface (15), a first sensor assembly (11), and a second sensor assembly (12). The first sensor assembly (11) is configured to acquire measured values from which a signed first differential pressure (p11) between a process pressure (p1) of the gas and a reference pressure (p0) is determinable. The second sensor assembly (12) is configured to acquire measured values from which a signed second differential pressure (p12) between the reference pressure (p0) and the process pressure (p1) is determinable. Thus, the signed first differential pressure (p11) and the signed second differential pressure (p12) are signed mutually inverse differential pressures (p11, p12). The communication interface (15) is configured to send the mutually inverse differential pressures (p11, p12) and/or the measured values to an external receiver.

A method for evaluating a quasi-stationary pressure difference detectable by a sensor at a gas boiler. The gas boiler has a mixing device (4), a fan (5), a main flow regulator (3), a control valve (2) and a safety valve (1). The sensor detects a differential pressure between a pressure (p2) at a measuring point upstream of the main flow regulator (3) and downstream of the control valve (2) and a reference pressure (p0, p1) at a reference measuring point. The sensor transmits a signal to an electronic evaluation system. The electronic evaluation system compares the differential pressure during a pre-purge phase, wherein the safety valve (1) is closed, with the differential pressure after the pre-purge phase and detects an error by the comparison.

It is important to accurately measure the emissions of a turbomachine for a variety of reasons. However, continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) can be expensive to install and maintain. Accordingly, a digital platform is disclosed that hosts physics-based and/or statistical models that can be tailored to specific turbomachines and calibrated over the life of the turbomachine. The model for a turbomachine can be applied to data collected from the turbomachine to predict the emissions of the turbomachine. This enables monitoring of emissions, remotely and without the need of a CEMS. In addition, the platform may utilize the predicted emissions for alerts, compliance monitoring, health monitoring, control of the turbomachine, reporting, and/or the like.
