烧嘴技术在工业热处理中扮演着核心角色 -- 无论是在效率、排放,还是适应替代燃料方面。数十年来,艾伯纳始终专注于热处理炉烧嘴技术的创新研发,持续引领行业标准。艾伯纳Peter Seemann (研发总监) 和 Michael Koller (高级研发经理) 在近期访谈中,深入探讨了烧嘴技术的最新发展、当前挑战及未来趋势。
Burner technologies play a central role in industrial heat treatment - whether in terms of efficiency, emissions or an ability to be adapted to alternative fuels. For decades, EBNER has been developing innovative burner solutions for heat treatment furnaces, constantly raising the bar for the rest of the industry. In a recent interview, EBNER’s Peter Seemann (Vice President Research & Development Ferrous) and Michael Koller (Senior Manager R&D Ferrous) spoke about current developments, current challenges and the future of burner technology.

What role does EBNER play in the development of innovative burner solutions for industrial furnaces?
Seemann: 针对部分设备,艾伯纳自主研发烧嘴解决方案。通过内部开发,我们能够以最优化的方式将烧嘴集成到不同类型的炉子中。
Seemann: EBNER develops its own burner solutions for the majority of its facilities. In-house development allows us to optimally respond when integrating burners into different types of furnaces.
艾伯纳产品系列中包括一系列的烧嘴技术,包括传统的燃气式烧嘴,无焰烧嘴以及氢气烧嘴。
The EBNER product range offers a wide variety of burner technologies - from classic gas burners to flameless burners and hydrogen-powered solutions.
鉴于此,核心的研发方法是什么?
Given that variety, what has been your core approach to development?
Koller:基于对环境和后代的责任感,我们很早就开始致于研发低排放、可持续的燃烧技术。这一理念催生了多项创新成果,其中包括我们自主研发的无焰烧嘴——该技术不仅符合日益严格的氮氧化物排放法规,更践行了我们的公司愿景”驱动绿色技术”。与此同时,为满足未来市场对碳中和热处理解决方案的需求,我们成功开发了氢气烧嘴。”绿色”氢气供应充足的前提下,这些烧嘴可实现加热系统的完全碳中和,这标志着我们向气候友好型产业迈出了重要一步。
Koller: Our feeling of responsibility towards the environment and future generations inspired us early on to begin development of low-emission, sustainable combustion technologies. This produced various innovations, including our own flameless burners, which not only meet increasingly strict NOx emission regulations, but also follow our vision of “Driving Green Technologies”. At the same time, there was a need to address future market requirements for carbon-neutral heat treatment solutions. This led to the development of our hydrogen burners. As long as “green” hydrogen is available in sufficient quantities, these burners allow a heating system to be fully carbon neutral – an important step towards a climate-friendly industry.
艾伯纳各种不同的烧嘴在工艺、效率、排放和应用领域方面有何不同?
How do the various EBNER burners differ in terms of technology, efficiency, emissions and area of application?
Koller: 艾伯纳采用间接(使用辐射管)和直接加热两种加热方式的加热系统。这些加热系统的效率及其排放量取决于多种不同的因素。其中包括处理温度、烧嘴输出功率以及助燃空气的预热温度。不同类型的烧嘴,决定其应用领域的主要因素包括:首先是直接加热与间接加热的区别,其次是热处理设备的类型——即用于钢铁还是铝材的处理。
Koller: EBNER employs heating systems that heat both indirectly (using radiant tubes) and directly. The efficiency of these systems, as well as their emissions, depend on a number of factors. These include the processing temperature, burner output and the temperature to which the combustion air is preheated. The main factors deter- mining their areas of application are first, direct versus indirect heating and second, the type of heat treatment facility - that is, whether it is for steel or aluminum.
在过去几年中,哪些技术趋势对研发产生了重要影响?所有烧嘴的设计是否都趋向于统一的设计理念?
Over the last few years, which technological trends have influenced development? Is there a general direction in which all burner designs are headed?
Seeman: 我们不断努力提高燃烧效率,同时减少污染物排放。除此之外,在过去几年中,针对成分差异明显的燃料气体(如氢气与天然气的混合物、合成气体或氨气)的燃烧,已开展了深入的研究。研发的目标是在燃烧中实现零碳排放或低碳排放。
Seeman: A constant effort is being made to increase combustion efficiency, while reducing pollutant emissions at the same time. In addition to that, over the last few years there has been intensive research into the combustion of fuel gases with widely different compositions - mixtures of hydrogen and natural gas, synthetic gases or ammonia. The goal of development is to allow zero carbon or low carbon combustion.
艾伯纳烧嘴有何出众之处?
What makes EBNER burners stand out?
Koller: 艾伯纳专注于开发全金属烧嘴,其设计可在高达1250°C的炉温下运行。厂内设计和制造为我们烧嘴的超长使用寿命提供了重要保障。
Koller: EBNER only develops all-metal burners, which are designed to operate in furnace temperatures up to 1250 °C. In house design and manufacturing contribute significantly to the exceptionally long service life of our burners.
艾伯纳烧嘴仅适用于热处理,还是也可以用于其他应用?
Are EBNER burners only used for heat treatment, or are they also used in other applications?
Koller:目前,我们的烧嘴仅适用于我们制造的设备中。不过,未来也有可能在其他行业中得到应用。
Koller: At this time, our burners are only used in facilities we manufacture. Their future use in non-EBNER facilities, as well as in other industries (for example, in equipment used to manufacture cement, bricks, elastomers, glass or carbon) is a major focus of our ongoing research and development work.
机遇与挑战CHANCES AND CHALLENGES目前哪些挑战影响着烧嘴技术的发展?
Which challenges currently shape the development of burner technologies?
Seemann: 最大的挑战之一在于提高效率和降低氮氧化物排放这两个目标之间的冲突。一种解决方案是可以通过智能控制技术实现,该技术能够对烧嘴实现精确控制。氢气作为一种燃料气体的发展也带来了额外的挑战,而其前景仍存在不确定性。
Seemann: One of the greatest challenges is the conflict between the goals of increasing efficiency and reducing NOx emissions. A solution may be found in intelligent control technology, which allows burners to be controlled very precisely. Additional challenges are posed by the growth of hydrogen as a fuel gas, which remains uncertain.
艾伯纳在烧嘴开发领域拥有超过43年的丰富经验。在过去的几年里,烧嘴技术发生了怎样的变化?
EBNER has over 43 years of experience in burner development. How has the technology changed over the last few years?
Koller:我们注意到在新设备中,采用多种措施来减少氮氧化物(NOx)排放,其中包括外部废气混合技术和无焰烧嘴的应用。在监管特别严格的环境中,还会安装SCR系统(选择性催化还原系统)用于二次氮氧化物(NOx)减排。此外,当前的重点是氢气烧嘴以及混合式烧嘴。
Koller: At new facilities we see an increasing number of measures to reduce NOx emissions, including external exhaust gas admixing and flameless burners. SCR systems for secondary NOx reduction are also installed in particularly strict regulatory environments. Furthermore, a focus is currently being placed on hydrogen-fueled and hybrid burners.

Seemann: Burners are continuously optimized, both in terms of energy efficiency and emissions behavior. Regular testing in our in-house testing facilities allows us to rapidly put new developments into practice. EBNER also cooperates with research institutes in both Austria and Germany.
艾伯纳烧嘴在集成到现有设备或切换不同的燃料方面具有怎样的灵活性?
How flexible are EBNER burners when being integrated into existing facilities or switching between different types of fuels?
Koller:在烧嘴研发过程中,我们高度重视,确保以最小的改动量轻松集成到现有设备中。例如,我们的天然气/氢气混合烧嘴就是这种情况。
Koller: During burner development, great care is taken to ensure that the burner can be integrated into existing facilities with minimal effort. That is the case, for example, with our hybrid natural gas/hydrogen burner.
展望未来OUTLOOK艾伯纳是否认为采用电加热的烧嘴技术具有发展前景?
Does EBNER see a future for burner technologies that employ electric heating?
Seemann: 直接电加热将发挥越来越重要的作用,尤其是在热处理领域。然而,对于高温工艺,等离子烧嘴技术仍是不可或缺的,因为它能够实现非常精确的温度调节。艾伯纳已成功研发多项创新型解决方案,包括板式加热系统、 GREENBAFx®罩式退火炉以及电辐射管等技术。
Seemann: Direct electric heating will play an increasingly important role, particularly in heat treatment. However, for high temperature processes plasma burner technology will remain crucial, as it allows very precise temperature regulation. EBNER has already developed innovative solutions such as our plate heating system, GREENBAFx® bell annealers and electric radiant tubes.
2024年推出的GREENBAFx® ,被誉为全新一代罩式退火炉产品。为何如此说?
GREENBAFx® furnaces were introduced in 2024, and it was said that they marked a new generation of bell annealers. Why?
Seemann: 众多企业纷纷青睐于混合加热解决方案,而艾伯纳通过GREENBAFx®将电加热与燃气加热系统完美集成于同一设备中。 这样的设计使得化石燃料和电力能源能够进行灵活切换,从而减少排放并降低运营成本。
Seemann: Many companies are placing their trust in hybrid heating solutions, and in GREENBAFx®EBNER has combined electric and gas heating systems in a single facility. This allows fossil fuel and electrical power sources to be used flexibly, reducing both emissions and operating costs.
未来的烧嘴技术将受到那些技术创新的影响?
What technological innovations will shape the future of burner technology?
