How does Chemtane 2 produce an increase in flame temperature?/strong>
This is a phenomenon we call: “Secondary Combustion!”
Most of the time, engineers think in terms of the thermodynamic enthalpy (bond energy) of a fuel which predicts the amount of heat produced by combustion. Chemtane 2 does not add significantly to the thermodynamic enthalpic value of the fuel. How then can Chemtane 2 produce an increase in flame temperature? Flame temperature can be calculated by knowing the initial temperatures of the oxygen and fuel, the heat of combustion (thermodynamic enthalpy) of the fuel and the combustion products along with their respective specific heat values at constant pressure (Cp). Specific heat value means the amount of heat energy which will raise the temperature of a given quantity of a specific molecule by one degree. The mechanism of action whereby Chemtane 2 enhances the flame temperature is a fundamentally kinetic phenomenon not strictly a result of thermodynamics
Now, this is significant to the situation with Chemtane 2 for kinetic reasons, not strictly and only thermodynamic reasons. This could be called “the phenomenon of secondary combustion.” Let’s say Chemtane 2 has a C7 hydrocarbon and is mixed with a C3 hydrocarbon (propane) which is then burned. In a given period of time the propane is burned. The rate at which it burns is called the burn rate or velocity of combustion. The linear flow rate of fuel to the torch must be faster than the velocity of combustion. In this same period of time the C7 hydrocarbon is partially burned giving a C3 to C4 hydrocarbon fragment which is heated to a high temperature like 4000 oF. This combustion process continues as the fragments travel away from the torch into the region of the inner and outer cone. The fragments then burn and release heat energy. This is exactly where the heat is needed for cutting metal. It might be said that the “business end” of the torch has been enhanced. The hot zone of the torch is increased in diameter and length. The increased diameter of the hot zones allows smooth cuts and the increased length allows a greater working distance.
Safe
- Minimum slag and weldback
- Limited Torch backfire
- Burns clean – no soot or smoke
- Narrow explosive limits
- Stable, non sensitive to shocks
Never take your safety for granted!
