Abstract (en)

[origin: US2008292999A1] In a known method for heating an industrial furnace by pulsating combustion, gaseous or liquid reactants, comprising an oxidizing agent and fuel, are fed to a burner (3), with the volumetric flow of at least one of the reactants which emerges from the burner mouth (7) being changed over the course of time. On this basis, to provide a method which allows a simple and flexible change to the flow during pulsating combustion, according to the invention it is proposed that the change in the volumetric flow of the reactant over the course of time is generated by electrical actuation imparting deflections to at least one membrane (14) in a membrane space (13) which is connected upstream of the burner mouth (3) and is accessible to the reactant, which deflections cause changes to the volume of the membrane space. A low maintenance apparatus of simple design which is suitable for carrying out the method is distinguished by the fact that the device for varying the volumetric flow over the course of time comprises at least one membrane (14), which is arranged in a membrane space (13) that is connected upstream of the burner (3) and is accessible to the reactant, and on which deflections can be imposed by means of an electrical actuation, which deflections cause a change in the volume of the membrane space (13).
