The application of impulse burning in ceramic combustion began in 1958. The combustion was mainly done with light or heavy oil. The functional construction comprised a fuel loop with a [...]

The article focuses on the process of impulse burning in ceramic combustion which significantly saves energy and adheres to emissions guidelines. Topics discussed include impulse bypass, control, and band-width modulation (BBM). Also mentioned are new developments on the technology which are based on critical points including optimization of energy efficiency, reduction of emission values, and savings of cost-intensive control units.

During the last few years, the use of impulse burning technology to optimise the combustion quality and energy efficiency on PLC technique in the ceramic industry, has gained in importance. To keep up with the steadily increasing environmental clause (TAluft/BLmSchG) in the industry further developments of field-tested systems are needed. The impulse- fan-burner with automatic combustion air adjustment is the answer to flexible automated turbulences in the firing atmosphere in compliance with the emission guidelines by law and with additional energy savings of 20 % compared to any impulse burning systems up to now.
