Abstract:
A fresh-air intake according to aspects of the disclosure includes an outer cover having a pair of side panels disposed in a generally parallel spaced relationship, a top panel coupled to, and disposed generally perpendicular to, each panel of the pair of side panels, a bottom panel disposed generally parallel to the top panel, and a front panel coupled to, and disposed generally perpendicular to, each panel of the pair of side panels and the top panel, the front panel having a window formed therein, a supply line coupled to the bottom panel, a weir extending above the bottom panel and surrounding a junction with the supply line, a baffle disposed inside the outer cover, the baffle being disposed inwardly of the window so as to prevent infiltration of moisture into the supply line, and a weep hole formed in the bottom panel.
Abstract:
A combustion supporting device is provided to use with a combustion furnace. The combustion supporting device includes a cone body, a tubular member, a frusto-conically shaped member, a base plate and a supporting portion. An upper end of the tubular member is connected to the cone body. The tubular member defines a plurality of gas holes around an upper portion thereof. The frusto-conically shaped member defines an insertion opening thereon. The diameter of the insertion opening corresponds to the outer diameter of the tubular member. A lower portion of the tubular member is passing through the insertion opening and received in the frusto-conically shaped member. The base plate defines a hole corresponding to the tubular member. The base plate is connected to a bottom of the frusto-conically shaped member. The hole communicates with a lower opening of the tubular member. The supporting portion is connected to the base plate.
Abstract:
A burner device (190) comprising an air intake, a burner head (192) including an ignition device, a body section (196) defining a fluid flow channel between said air intake and said burner head (192), and a gas injector (205) for injecting combustible gas into said fluid flow channel. The burner head (192) is oriented such that its longitudinal axis is substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the channel is defined and in which fluid flows, in use, along said channel.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a combustion apparatus for both firewood and pellet fuel comprising: a combustion chamber in which wood fuel including firewood or a pellet is stacked; an air supply unit provided with an air supply pipe and a gap-maintaining member and including a nozzle connected to the air supply pipe and configured to spray air toward the wood fuel in a side direction thereof; and an operating unit configured to force the gap-maintaining member to come into contact with one side of the wood fuel to continuously maintain a constant gap between the nozzle and the wood fuel during combustion.
Abstract:
A metal air plenum fitted to the inside walls of a solid fuel burning barbeque grill to provide lower temperatures of the outside walls of the grill and provide temperature enhancement of the flame at the heat source.
Abstract:
A pellet burner has inner and outer housings for defining a high pressure air plenum between. Angled perforations at strategic locations in the inner housing supplied pressurized primary and secondary combustion air so that, with pellets supplied to a burn pot of the inner housing and activation of a blower and an ignitor cartridge, the pellets auto-ignite and the air flow establishes a swirling flame in the burn pot that travels to a flame conduit of the inner housing where further swirling occurs in a venture section for shaping the flame into a clean, hot, symmetrical form.
Abstract:
A method for enhancing combustion efficiency and reducing harmful emissions of any furnace fueled by coal or other carbonaceous fuels includes the steps of providing a high-output electrolyzer assembly which includes spaced-apart stainless steel plates submerged in an electrolytic bath. A voltage is applied between the plates and sufficient electrical power is supplied to generate a desired production of hydrogen and oxygen gases. Those gases are captured and directed directly into the combustion air intake of the furnace. Gas flow is controlled, primarily, by varying current flow and electrolyte concentration in the electrolyzer unit. The method differs from those of the prior art in its simplicity in that the oxyhydrogen gas is captured and directed directly into the combustion air intake of the furnace without the use of gas storage tanks, pressure regulators, mass flow controllers, or any other costly control equipment.
Abstract:
An incinerator for burning waste material includes a horizontally extended combustion chamber through which a mixture of waste material and air is introduced under pressure tangentially for establishing a vortical movement of the waste material toward one of the end walls. The waste material is ignited during its vortical movement. A second discharge port extends for discharging from the chamber non-combustible material entrained in the outer region of the vortex. The discharged material is conveyed through a conduit to a separator which separates the discharged gases and solid material. A baffle is mounted on the flue adjacent its open end for deflecting outwardly toward the side wall solid material which moves from adjacent the one end wall toward the open end of the flue. Additionally, control means are provided for the use of specialized sensors to monitor the temperature, air flow and volume of the chamber.
Abstract:
A boiler assembly including primary and secondary combustion chambers includes primary and secondary air controls for controlling combustion air to the chambers respectively. The air controls are operable between open positions to allow combustion in the chambers and a closed position in which the combustion air passages are fully sealed to fully interrupt combustion responsive to heating demands. The air controls are supported externally on the main housing of the boiler assembly so as to be modular and readily releasable from the main housing and the respective combustion air passages. The primary combustion chamber communicates with the secondary combustion chamber at a location partway in between introduction of the secondary combustion air and the exhaust passage.
Abstract:
An evaporator assembly unit, especially for a vehicle heater or a reformer arrangement of a fuel cell system, includes a wall arrangement (12) enclosing an evaporation chamber (20) with a circumferential wall (14) and with a bottom wall (16). An air introduction shoulder (18) extending in the direction of a wall longitudinal axis (L) is provided with a plurality of first air introduction openings (22). Evaporator medium (26), that is porous at least in some areas, is provided on the side of the wall arrangement (12) facing the evaporation chamber (20). An auxiliary air opening arrangement (34) with at least one second air introduction opening (36) is provided in the wall arrangement (12).
