    Análisis de parámetros técnicos para mejora de eficiencia en quemadores de tubo radiante de un paso
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2025-02) Nuñez Chadán, Romel Sebastián; Cabrera Anda, Santiago Paúl
    This study explores the variation of technical parameters that enhance the efficiency of a single-pass radiant tube burner. The parameters considered in this analysis include secondary air temperature, gas travel length, and the presence of a static mixer, aiming to evaluate their impact on flame characteristics, energy performance, and temperature distribution. The adopted methodology combines theoretical and experimental analysis, utilizing measurement equipment such as a thermal imaging camera and a gas analyzer. The results indicate that the flame with preheated air at 90 degrees reaches a maximum temperature of 251.7 degrees, while the incorporation of the static mixer allows for a maximum temperature of 233.4 degrees. Reducing the gas travel length to 0.75 meters identifies a stable mid-radiant zone of 0.25 meters, with maximum temperatures ranging from 385 degrees to 465 degrees, achieved at 11 minutes. In terms of thermal efficiency, a useful energy output of 1.36 kW was obtained, with losses of 0.94 kW through flue gases, 0.147 kW through the walls, 0.0368 kW due to unburned solids, and other losses of 0.41 kW. This results in a thermal efficiency of 46.89 percent, compared to the 61.72 percent recorded in previous studies. The reduction in thermal efficiency can be attributed to the combination of the evaluated parameters, suggesting that while flame characteristics improve with air preheating and the metallic insert, the reduced gas travel length increases heat distribution, ultimately limiting overall performance.

    Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de quemador a gas de tubo radiante de doble paso sin regeneración para uso semi-industrial
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2024-08) Cortez Palma, Anderson Steeven; Torres Tierra, Kevin Javier; Cabrera Anda, Santiago Paúl
    In the present research, due to the problems that arise in the combustion deficiency of LPG in burners, the initiative was taken to design and build this prototype, to analyze and perform functional tests, for the collection of data necessary in the determination of the energy use of the burner. Information was collected on the various types of existing radiant tube burners, the characteristics of the materials they are manufactured, the design parameters, in such a way that the most appropriate option was selected based on criteria such as performance, cost, characteristic of the flame and the combustion mixture that exists between LPG and air, the prototype was made using advanced 3D design software, which allowed modeling its main components, in which the gas injector stands out. , the radiant tubes and the support structure for the prototype. The prototype was built with equipment such as GMAW welding, GTAW, plate bending machine, drill, cutter, among others, which allowed the union of the tubes, elbows and others. accessories for support. To measure the temperatures and gases in the radiant tubes in the operation tests, technological equipment was used such as: the thermographic camera, Bacharach Insight gas analyzer, pressure gauges and air velocity meters. As a result, thermodynamic calculations, heat transfer calculations, mechanical calculations and performance and efficiency calculations of the system were carried out, as well as its subsequent assembly.

    Diseño y construcción de un banco de pruebas para ensayos de inflamabilidad de materiales usados en la construcción de interiores de carrocerías
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2018) Chasi Toapanta, Luis Roberto; Castro Miniguano, Christian Byron
    The objective of this project is the design and construction of a test bench for flammability tests of materials used in the construction of bodywork interiors, for the development of the technical project the ISO 3795 standard was used, and other sources of information such as the FMVSS 302 standard, which clearly details the parameters that must be followed for the construction of the test bench. Within the development of the technical project a theoretical framework was developed according to the needs of the subject, detailing relevant topics such as the principles of fire science, materials used in the construction of body interiors, materials used for the construction of the test bench, welding and manufacturing processes for the construction of the equipment. The parameters, requirements and conditions prescribed by ISO 3795 and FMVSS 302, helped to delimit the criteria for the selection of the type of fuel to be used, the selection of the Bunsen burner that will provide the ignition source and the materials to be used in accordance to the service conditions to which the material flammability test bench will be subjected. For the correct use of the test bench it is recommended to read the operation and maintenance manuals before using the equipment, in order to contribute to the duration in excellent condition of the equipment throughout its useful life.
