Abstract

SiC reticulated porous ceramic (SRPC) as the key component determined the service life and combustion characteristics of porous burner. The novel multi-layer struts were constructed to synergistically improve the oxidation resistance and infrared radiation of SRPC, including microporous cordierite coating, dense mullite transition layer, SiC skeleton and filling layer. The continuous mullite transition layer significantly improved the resistance to water vapor oxidation of SRPC, also their strength and thermal shock resistance were enhanced because the elimination of strut defects in multi-layer struts. In addition, the microporous cordierite coating generated from the burnt out of pitch increased the burner surface temperature from 764.4 °C to 1061.7 °C, and obviously reduced the CO/NOx emission due to its improved infrared radiation property. Furthermore, the porous cordierite coating enhanced the heat radiation of SRPC, thus increasing the heating rate of the burner from 29.4 °C/min to 33.1 °C/min in the process of water heating.
