Abstract
A process for pulse combustion in a horizontal pulse combustor having at least one air inlet flapper valve, at least one fuel inlet flapper valve, a combustion chamber, and a plurality of downstream combustion chamber branches in which each is in communication with a plurality of downstream exhaust tubes. The process includes the steps of introducing air through the air inlet flapper valve into a mixing zone. Fuel is introduced through the fuel inlet flapper valve into the mixing zone. A combustible fuel/air mixture is formed within the mixing and ignition chamber and is ignited there to complete combustion within the combustion chamber. Combustion product gases are exhausted through the combustion chamber branches and further exhausted through the exhaust tubes.
