Abstract
Cool flames, created by gentle oxidation rather than fully fledged
combustion, were first identified nearly two centuries ago, and only
recently caught the attention of scientists and engineers. Engineers
are using cool flames to revolutionise heating systems and boilers,
improving fuel efficiency, allowing them to run on a variety of fuels
and helping to clean up their emissions. Cool flames can also be
used as chemical processors to produce hydrogen for use in fuel cells
and have the potential to transform vehicle internal combustion engines,
through the use of controlled auto-ignition (CAI) engines. Discusses
the nature of cool flames and what differentiates them from normal
types of flame.
