TKEnergizer

The TKEnergizer TM (Thermal Kinetic Energizer) is a new type of heat source that delivers heat in the form of a well collimated and uniform stream of high kinetic energy combustion products. It is a very high efficiency heat source that can rapidly increase the temperature by one to hundreds of degrees within heating chambers such as furnaces, kilns, boilers, incinerators, crucibles, and the like.

The TKEnergizer TM is an ideal replacement for traditional radiant burners in major industrial applications such as steel processors, glass and ceramic producers, power stations, just to name a few industries requiring large-scale heating, drying and/or curing. TKEnergizer TM is fully patented, tested and proven in industry over 6 years. TKEnergizer TM systems are installed globally in several industrial applications where they are operating successfully, with new markets and applications opening continuously.

The TKEnergizer TM operates by combining the following principles:

1.	Combustion is done in several stages that are controlled by a novel design of the spatial distribution of the fuel gas and air intakes, within the TKEnergizer TM chamber. The fuel gas is fully consumed in all the combustion stages, which are maintained at the exact stoichiometric ratio in all locations within the TKEnergizer TM chamber. Moreover, the combustion takes place at sufficiently low temperatures, thus ensuring that no NOx compounds are formed.

2.	The stream of combustion products, consists entirely of H2O and CO2 molecules that acquire a high kinetic energy and the resultant momentum (mass times velocity) is directed along the TKEnergizer TM axis. There is no flame exiting the TKEnergizer TM chamber.

3.	The system’s combustion chamber is separated from the heating chamber itself. Only the stream of combustion products enters the heating chamber, and the load is heated by the bombarding molecules transferring their kinetic energy to the load walls. This process is extremely efficient as the total calorific value of the fuel gas is made available to be transferred to the load.

Main benefits;

The TKEnergizer TM works well with methane, ethane, propane, butane and several other fuel gases, with combustion efficiency of CE=99.9%. TKEnergizer TM systems are available in various sizes with a delivered energy rate in the range of 0.5 - 300 GJoule/hour (1GJoule/hour is about 2.8x105 Watt).

Heating chambers heated by a TKEnergizer TM show drastically reduced hydrocarbon gas consumption (up to 80% and more in continuous operations, as compared with radiant burners). Their throughput is increased by up to 300% in both batch and continuous modes of operation due to TKEnergizer TM superior heat transfer properties. These heating chambers do not incur thermal stress and their refractory life is greatly increased.

Other TKEnergizer TM benefits include: unrivalled heating uniformity, lower operating temperatures, substantially lower emissions, less electricity consumption and significantly reduced noise levels. The TKEnergizer TM requires virtually no maintenance.

Moreover, since the TKEnergizer TM is separated from the heating chamber, the heat transfer rate to the load is conveniently controlled by pulsing the stream of combustion products. This allows the operators to rapidly reach their prescribed load temperature, and maintain it over the desired length of time.
