What Is Nost?
Nost is a 4-component system designed to save natural gas.
- Control unit that makes combustion efficiency more effective.
- It produces oxygen.
- Stores oxygen.
- It provides combustion controlled feeding.
How Does Nost Provide Saving?
Current systems; It is realized with the combination of air + natural gas. These systems carry out the combustion process by mixing flammable natural gas with the total air containing 21% combustible gas oxygen + 78% nitrogen + 0.9% argon and other gases.
Nost increases combustion efficiency by changing the mixing ratios in the current combustion process with the pure oxygen it produces.
The general working principle of Nost is based on increasing the amount of burning gas and ensuring better combustion of carbon in natural gas by supplementing pure oxygen. The increase in calorific value as a result of more heat being produced is a clear indicator of this result.
Ceramic Industry Working Details
Nost is mounted on a zone section of the ceramic oven with 4 burners, via external bypass. During the trials, the natural gas and air supply of this region was completely separated by bypass and controlled by Nost.
In test measurements, there is a meter on the natural gas line, an air flow meter on the Nost supply line, an electricity meter on the Nost electricity supply line, a pressure manometer on the natural gas line, a temperature manometer on the natural gas line, an air analyzer on the combustion air supply line, an analyzer that can measure the amounts of air and natural gas is installed on the burners. The system is measured in terms of both production and consumption.
Measurements were carried out after the oven was set to a certain temperature and was switched to automatic mode.
