| Summary: | This research presents the effects of varying the retainer angles on the performance of oil
burner in terms of exhaust gas emissions, temperature and flame patterns. Retainer was a
flame stabilizer used to stabilize the flame, improve mixing between air and fuel and affect
the formation of emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO,) carbon dioxide (CO²), oxides
of nitrogen (NOx), and sulphur dioxide (SO²). These emissions can cause harm to the
world ecosystem. One of the methods to reduce emissions was by increasing the
retainer's blade angles. In this research, an oil burner with four different retainer angles
has been investigated using a combustor of I meter length. Tests were conducted using
diesel as fuel. Four different retainer angles used are 15°, 30°, 45°. and 60° with swirl
number 0.2016, 0.4344, 0.7524, and 1.3032. From the experiment, data shown that
emissions reduced due to varying the retainer angles and the best retainer angle was
achieved by consider the exhaust gas emission reduction. |
