Abstract

L.P.G, a fuel popular for domestic application, is cleaner among several conventional fuels. The LPG industry is around 36 years of age and is principally amassed in the limited scale area. It is an outstanding fuel source because of its origin, advantages and applications. The use of LPG cooking stove is increasing day-by-day, but still there is scope to investigate for the improvement of thermal efficiency, better combustion and energy saving. Some researchers worked on design of gas burner, and many worked on the advanced methods of improving thermal efficiency. In porous radiant burners, studied at different heat input (5–10 kW), that increases 30–40% efficiency, increase CO in the range 350–1145 PPM and NOx in the range 40–104 PPM, with maximum efficiency of 50%. On the other hand, design developed in two layers of porous radiant burner using B15-4246:2002, in the power range of 1–3 kW, showed an efficiency of 75.1% with CO and NOx in the range 30–140 PPM and 0.2–36 PPM respectively, and conventional burner that exhibit 33.6–58% efficiency CFD and improved energy saving burner (EB) were also used to compute accurate results. The loading height, primary aeration, heat input, effect of number of holes and angle of both inner and outer rings of burner were also studied and the authors reported improved efficiency of the burners by using porous material technology in conventional LPG burner.
