Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015103436A1] A method for controlling a combustion reaction includes introducing fuel and oxidizer into a combustion volume at a ratio that is outside a range defined by an upper flammability or stability limit and a lower flammability or stability limit of the fuel, and producing a modified range defined by a modified upper flammability or stability limit and a modified lower flammability or stability limit of the fuel, by applying an electric field across a flame supported by the fuel and oxidizer, the ratio falling within the modified range.
