Hot Gas Producers

The combustion chamber developed by Loesche GmbH is primarily fabricated from heat resistant steels. Refractory lining material is only used in the area of the burner muffle. This combustion chamber type, introduced under the name LOMA heater (Lochmantel-Feuerung) has been employed worldwide for decades in various thermal processes and contributed to their optimum thermal design.

The LOMA heater is characterized by the following:
the steel combustion chamber has only minimal refractory lining in the burner muffle, thereby reducing the retained heat. Long heat-up and cool-down times are not required. rapid thermal load variation increases the control of downstream processes. emergency stop and normal start/stop sequences do not require the installation of an emergency chimney. due to the steel construction a distinctly reduces machine weight is achieved when compared to combustion chambers which are completely refractory lined. Any preferred burner type from various suppliers can be used in conjunction with the combustion chamber. In the 40 years of use worldwide all conventional fuels such as natural gas, industrial gas, blast furnace gas, light fuel oil, heavy fuel oil, and crude oil have been successfully used.

The decades long experience in the use of these combustion chambers with various burner types and fuels in diverse applications puts Loesche GmbH in a position to offer hot gas producer plants on a turnkey basis. Experience in process plant design and presence of Loesche personnel on all constituents ensures efficient support for erection, commissioning and maintenance.
