    This document provides data on minimum clearance requirements between natural draft gas or oil burners and surrounding refractory walls or tubes in a direct fired heater. It includes tables of estimated clearance distances between a 95 MM Btu/h burner and tube centerlines or refractory walls based on burner heat release. It also includes a sketch of a sample radiant section layout with vertical burners and horizontal tubes around the walls to illustrate typical dimensions.

    Burner

    radiant section sketch


    P. & M. Mitsopoulos ''Applied numeric methods in Industry - Fortran programming'' (in Greek), ION publishers, 1994.
    English, Greek and Romanian references in their book. Chapter 3.3.23 (58 pages) devoted to refinery furnace design through an example, also including following notes.
    Typical dimensions of a (cabin type) radiant section: maxL=30 m, W=4-6 m, maxH=12 m (first tube row 1 m from floor).
    Typical heat release in furnace radiant (or convenction) section (based on NHV) : 36000 - 72000 kcal/m3/hr.
    concerning total heat release of 68/0.81=84 MM Btu/h=21.168 MM kcal/h
    resulting radiant chamber volume is 294 - 588 m3 . This chamber can be of (say) 3.7 m x 14.5 m x 9.5 m, with 10 burners along it of 10 MM Btu/h each.
    Minimum length is considered as (1.22+0.23)+9x1.22+(1.22+0.23)=13.88 m between refractory walls, assuming distance [B]=1.22 m between burner centerlines, which
    is uncertain (can be shorter?) since no relevant data has been found.
    W. L. Nelson ''Petroleum Refinery Engineering'', 4th edition, McGraw-Hill (1958)
    Chapter 18 (40 pages) deals with furnace (tubestill heater) design, in a practical and comprehensive manner. But no mention on burner clearance.
    Subjects similar to those referenced by Ankur in previous post are also touched, of course as of 1958.
