View Patent ↗A burner basket for an ammonia oxidation burner includes a gas-permeable bottom plate, with a side wall that is spaced apart from the bottom plate by a gap, and a retaining device covering the bottom plate and the gap for retaining particles of a bulk material that can be arranged in the burner basket. A fastening element is arranged on the bottom plate, by which the retaining device is fixed in place. An ammonia oxidation burner comprises a burner for oxidizing ammonia and a burner basket.
1. A burner basket for an ammonia oxidation burner comprising:
a gas permeable bottom plate;
a sidewall adjacent to, and spaced apart from, said bottom plate so as to define a gap between said bottom plate and said sidewall;
a retaining device covering both of said bottom plate and the gap between said bottom plate and said sidewall, said retaining device configured to retain particles of bulk material that may be disposed on said retaining device;
at least one fastening element coupled to said bottom plate and configured to couple said retaining device to said bottom plate; and
a sealing device connected to said bottom plate and at least partially covering the gap between said bottom plate and said sidewall.
2. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said retaining device is gas-permeable fabric.
3. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said retaining device comprises meshes having a mesh width smaller than a size of the particles of bulk material that may be disposed in said retaining device.
4. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening element is disposed in an edge area of said bottom plate facing the gap.
5. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening element comprised at least one pin that is arranged transverse to said bottom plate.
6. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said at least one fastening element comprised at least one pin that is perpendicular to said bottom plate.
7. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said sealing device is rigidly coupled to aid retaining device.
8. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said sealing device has one of a rectangular or trapezoidal cross-section.
9. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said bottom plate is one of a honeycomb grid, gauze bottom, sieve bottom, grated bottom, or perforated plate.
10. The burner basket of claim 1 , wherein said bottom plate has one of a U-shaped cross-section, a V-shaped cross-section, or a trapezoidal cross-section.
