TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Premixed, High-Pressure, Multi-fuel Burner (LEW-TOPS-134)

NASA's Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses . THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA's Glenn Research Center has developed a novel design for a fully premixed high-pressure burner capable of operating on a variety of gaseous fuels and oxidizers, including hydrogen-air mixtures, with a low pressure drop. The burner provides a rapidly and uniformly mixed fuel-oxidizer mixture that is suitable for use in a fully-premixed combustion regime that has the benefit of low pollutant emissions. Further, it is free from harmful flashback effects, combustion instabilities, and thermal meltdown problems that are normally associated with premixed combustion systems operating at high pressures. This burner can be easily scaled for use in practical low-emissions combustion systems such as stationary power plants or hydrogen-air combustion for vehicles. This technology is also applicable to process gas heaters, chemical processing, process gas afterburners, kiln or furnace burners, utility boiler burners, gas reforming burners, and fuel cell processing burners.
