ClearSign - Model ECC - Electrodynamic Combustion Control System
Electrically charged molecules, or ions, are a natural product of the combustion process. ClearSign’s Electrodynamic Combustion Control technology introduces computer-controlled electric fields to manipulate the movement of these ions and precisely control flame shape and the transfer of heat to, through, or away from a surface.
Technology Overview
When applied to boilers, kilns and furnaces, this approach provides system operators with a powerful new set of tools to increase efficiency and reduce emissions:
- Better combustion – less unburned fuel and better fuel/air mixing increases efficiency and reduces pollutant formation.
- Superior flame quality – optimized flame shape and flame stability to maximize energy efficiency.
- Enhanced control of heat transfer – increased thermal efficiency and fuel efficiency.
Flame attachment – safe “anchoring” of the flame where the operator requires the lowering of the risk of unstable flame conditions. - Control over combustion reaction chemistry – promote, suppress, retard or accelerate chemical reactions as desired to minimize formation of pollutants and significantly reduce pollution.
- Agglomeration of particulate – particulate matter in exhaust is formed into large clusters, which can be easily and efficiently removed.
ECC works with a variety of solid and gaseous fuels.
In testing with multiple fuel types, our ECC technology has shown reductions in visible particulate matter (PM) of over 90%, with significant, simultaneous reductions in carbon monoxide (CO) and exit gas—and without increased NOX emissions. Because the formation of pollutants is greatly reduced at the source, the ‘load’ placed on downstream pollution control equipment is also reduced, lowering both capital and operating expense and yielding a positive return on investment for system operators.
Components
Our technology consists, in its simplest form, of four major components:
- A computer controller consisting of a standard PC
- Software delivering proprietary algorithms
- A power amplifier (resident outside the combustion chamber)
- Electrodes (placed inside the combustion chamber)
