Experimental Flame Measuring Systems

 

Flame-propagating burner focuses on how premixed flames travel through combustible mixtures, providing valuable insights into flame speed, stability limits, and the effects of turbulence or mixture composition on combustion behavior. Together, these burners support advanced combustion research, optimize industrial burner design, and contribute to safer, cleaner, and more efficient thermal systems.

Heat-flux burner is designed to deliver a precisely controlled and uniform thermal load to a material surface. A heat flux burner is a type of burner used in combustion research to stabilize the flames for studying various properties. This allows for the accurate measurement of properties like the laminar burning velocity and the heat loss to the burner, as the flame can be assumed to be flat.

Configurations of various heat flux burners are listed in the specifications sheet. Please contact us for the heat flux burner that operate with any custom specifications and heat fluxes.

A counter-flow burner operates by directing opposing streams of fuel and oxidizer toward each other, creating a well-defined reaction zone that allows researchers to study flame structure, soot evolution, pollutant formation, and fundamental chemical kinetics with high accuracy.

A cylindrical constant-volume combustion chamber is designed to confine the working fluid so that combustion occurs at nearly fixed volume. This geometry provides uniform pressure rise during heat release, enhancing thermodynamic efficiency. The cylindrical shape helps achieve symmetric flame propagation and predictable flow patterns. Such chambers are widely used in experimental combustion research to study ignition, flame speed, and emission formation. Their controlled environment allows accurate measurement of pressure–time histories and combustion characteristics.

A spherical constant-volume combustion chamber is commonly used for flame-propagation experiments because its geometry minimizes boundary effects. The uniform radius ensures symmetric flame growth from the ignition point, allowing accurate measurement of laminar flame speed. This symmetry also simplifies mathematical modeling and data interpretation. High-speed diagnostics in such chambers help study Laminar burning velocity and flame structure. Overall, spherical chambers provide a controlled environment for fundamental combustion research.
