COMFEB project

Camera-based optimization of multi-fuel burners

Funding: KIC InnoEnergy

Duration: 2014 to 2017

Project consortium: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), ci-tec GmbH, OPTERRA Wössingen, Unitherm Cemcon (Austria)

The project is aimed at developing the essential fundamentals of an optical measurement system for the optimized control of multi-substance burners. In this way, efficiency of energy utilization is enhanced and pollutant formation is reduced. New camera systems, together with high-performance image evaluation methods, allow for the derivation of new flame combustion characteristics. The prototype is based on inspect pro control C. The resulting system will be used to backfit and optimize old facilities and as standard equipment in new facilities.
