DX gas, often referring to DX® generator gas, is a controlled atmosphere gas produced by burning a mixture of air and fuel gas in a specialized apparatus. This process involves a refractory-lined combustion chamber and a packed annular cooling chamber.
DX Gas Production Process
The production of DX gas involves a specific process designed to create a controlled atmosphere. The key stages are:
- Combustion: A mixture of air and fuel gas is burned within a refractory-lined combustion chamber.
- Cooling: The resulting products of combustion are then cooled in a packed annular cooling chamber. This cooling process stabilizes the gas composition.
Key Components
The system used to generate DX gas typically includes these components:
- Combustion Chamber: A high-temperature resistant chamber (refractory-lined) where the air and fuel mixture combust.
- Cooling Chamber: A chamber designed to rapidly cool the hot gases produced during combustion. The "packed annular" design improves cooling efficiency.
