Abstract

See full text

A method for heating a heating chamber to a temperature below the spontaneous ignition temperature of the fuel that is used, wherein fuel and air are reacted in flameless oxidation in a non-stoichiometric mixture ratio in a combustion chamber. The air ratio λ is at least lower than the stoichiometric ratio λ=1 such that the temperature in the combustion chamber does not exceed the temperature at which thermal nitrous oxide generation begins. Otherwise, λ is established such that the spontaneous ignition temperature of the fuel is exceeded. This results in two permissible air ratio ranges, between λmin and λ1 in sub-stoichiometric operation, and λ2 to λmax in superstoichiometric operation of the combustion chamber. The still-reactive gases released from the combustion chamber are made to react in the heating chamber, preferably by flameless oxidation. This avoids thermal nitrous oxide generation in the heating chamber.
