What is Chemtane 2 and How does it produce an increase in flame temperature?
This is a phenomenon we call “Secondary Combustion”. To answer this question we have analyzed the Flame Structure and the Action of Propane-Chemtane 2 with its unique additives: Flame Structure A premixed fuel and oxygen torch flame has a definite structure. There are four zones in the structure which are (1) the cool blue flame region (2) the inner cone (3) the outer cone and (4) the preheat zone outside of the flame. Chemtane 2 enhances a portion of the propane flame. This improves the cutting ability of the torch flame. This image shows the stable premix flame. This image show the flame has excess oxygen added as used in cutting. The Cool Blue Flame Zone The first step in combustion in a premix flame is the combination of oxygen and the fuel gas. This produces oxygenated fuel molecules. Many of the combination reactions are endothermic (meaning they absorb heat) and thus the region is not at a high temperature. Some of the oxygenated molecules undergo combustion producing heat. Oxyg
