Flameless combustion
Flameless combustion
Nitrogen oxides play an unpleasant role during the combustion of fossil fuels. They are responsible for acid rain and are also harmful to the respiratory tract. DLR researchers have been able to demonstrate that the principle of flameless combustion (‘FLOX®’, or FLameless OXidation) in typical gas turbine conditions promises reliable combustion in power plants with low nitrogen oxides emissions.
