Outline
@A regenerative burner system is a new combustion system that can achieve
extremely high efficiency by recovering exhaust heat from industrial furnaces.
The industrial world has great expectations for this system's energy savings
and ability to reduce CO2 production. Regenerative burner systems
are intended for use in relatively high-temperature furnaces such as reheating
furnaces, forging furnaces, heat treatment furnaces, fusing furnaces,
calcination furnaces, and deodorizing equipments. Their use is quickly
becoming widespread.

System description
@We will use a twin type regenerative burner system to describe the working principles of this system. Regenerative burners are a new type of combustion system that achieves extremely efficient exhaust heat recovery by alternately (intervals of several tens of seconds) firing the two burners which contain heat storage material (regenerator) such as alumina balls. For example, when a furnace temperature is 1,200C, the combustion air can be preheated up to 1,000C and energy savings of 50% can be achieved.

Features
- Energy savings
The use of a regenerative burner system will allow you to achieve energy savings of 35% to 50%. - CO2 reduction
Since the adoption of a regenerative burner system results in a significant decrease in fuel consumed, the amount of CO2 exhausted is also drastically reduced. - Uniform distribution of temperature in the furnace
By using high-temperature preheated air for high luminous flame combustion, and by mixing the atmosphere in the furnace due to switched combustion, a uniform furnace temperature distribution can be obtained.
