Abstract

It’s time to confront the reality of our changing environment-our earth. The earth’s global temperature is on a rise and this due to our human race. Global emissions break down into sectors like agriculture, industry, energy, land use, forestry and transportation. Various studies have been able to rank top greenhouse emitting countries around the globe which includes Saudi Arabia, Republic of Korea, United States, Canada, China and Australia.The industrial sector accounts for about 21% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we will discuss about the regenerative burner heating system which employs High Temperature Air Combustion technology (HiTAC) in High Temperature Burners (HTB) and High cycle Regenerative System (HRS) using the highly efficient honeycomb regenerator. When the temperature of preheated air is over 650°C and that of the furnace 1250°C, we can significantly reduce nitrogen oxides emission (NOx) up to 4 times. We will also analyze various heat transfer processes, fuel saving, commutation cycle using a numerical model. A detailed study of the advantages of using this system, N0X and CO2 emitted, thermal efficiency, product quality and output of the system are also done. The difference this new system has done to the global environment is quite notable.
