Combustors

In waste combustors, food waste is a cause of nitrogen oxide emissions, which is also a greenhouse gas, as well as a cause of smog and respiratory illness. ❋ Allen Hershkowitz (2011)

Typical engine combustors operate at extremely high temperatures — hot enough to melt most metals — and the materials used in each component are specially designed to withstand this heat. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Various types of waste combustors and incinerators [4] emitted 4 t of mercury into the atmosphere in 1996. ❋ USGS (2009)

Two principal contributors were municipal waste combustors (27 t) and medical waste incinerators (15 t). ❋ USGS (2009)

Hazardous waste (solid and liquid) was burned both in hazardous waste combustors and cement kilns. ❋ USGS (2009)

These factors include mandated stack emission controls, similar to those for municipal and medical waste combustors; and closure of hazardous waste combustors that had been justified by subsidies to the combustors for co-generated electricity. ❋ USGS (2009)

Under the Clean Air Act, EPA has established mercury emissions limits (1) for municipal waste combustors, which should result in a 90 percent decline from 1990 levels by 2000, and (2) for medical waste incinerators, which should result in a 95 percent decline from 1990 levels by 2002. ❋ USGS (2009)

When the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 were passed, municipal waste combustors, utility coal boilers, and medical waste incinerators accounted for two-thirds of all mercury emissions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The device, originally developed for NASA, has a simpler design than existing state-of-the-art combustors and could be manufactured and maintained at a much lower cost. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Desulphurization technologies, low nitrogen combustors and end-of pipe particulate capture devices are examples of technologies that have contributed considerably to SO2, NOX and PM emission reduction. ❋ Unknown (2007)

A team at Georgia Tech has developed a combustion chamber whose shape keeps air and fuel well mixed, which means the fuel burns cleaner at lower temperatures, and the whole apparautus is projected to be cheaper to build and use than existing combustors. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Next, the two thousand parts in a jet engine were grouped into seven product categories—rotors and shafts, turbine airfoils, combustors and cases, nacelles, forged compressor airfoils, compressor stator assemblies, and general machined parts. ❋ James P. Womack (2003)

Each Module Center will be able to completely engineer and fabricate one of the seven modules making up a jet engine: fans with their cases, low-pressure compressors, high-pressure compressors, combustors, high-pressure turbines, low-pressure turbines and nozzles, and nacelles and externals. ❋ James P. Womack (2003)

The 'intelligent' system is programmed to lift biomass from the highest pile of material in the fuel store and deposit it into each of two input feeds, when sensors indicate that the combustors require replenishment. ❋ Unknown (2010)

[Not this] [robot] again... [Combustor]? That thing is slightly worse than diminisher... ❋ RandomManWhoKnowShit (2023)
