摘要:
Premix furnace for heating an occupied space while producing lower NOx emissions and methods of mixing air and fuel delivered to a premix burner and of improving combustion stability. A mixing device may be located within an inlet tube, may have a flat surface that is perpendicular to the direction of fuel flow, or may have two surfaces held at substantially opposite angles to induce swirl. A mixing device may be attached to the fuel injector, may be made from a piece of sheet metal, and may have bends and a hole for attachment to the fuel injector. A fluidic diode in the inlet tube may improve combustion stability and may include a hollow frustum or a frustoconical portion, a cylinder concentric with the inlet tube, or a combination thereof. Some embodiments include refractory insulation lining the combustion chamber or may adjust for elevation or fuel characteristics.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for combustion of a gaseous fuel in a fireplace in which a plurality of periodic vortices are created in the airflow pattern of the combustion air prior to its mixing with the gaseous fuel, thereby producing a more natural looking, flickering flame.

摘要:
A control system for a fluid-fuel burner, such as a furnace for an HVAC system. The furnace has a variable flow of fuel into the burner. In addition, the circulating air blower is also variable. The furnace heat exchanger plenum is maintained at a substantially constant temperature, as a means for providing substantially constant temperature air to the spaces to be heated.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for producing a gas-fired flame which simulates a wood-burning flame. The apparatus includes an elongated slot which is port loaded to produce a buoyancy controlled flame which flickers and closely resembles a wood-burning flame.
摘要:
A pulse combustion space heater and burner are disclosed. The heater has an exterior cabinet enclosing an interior housing having the burner mounted therein. The burner includes a plurality of generally flat elements which cooperate with the interior housing to provide a tortuous path for air circulated through the chamber during heat transfer. A labyrinthine air flow passageway lined with sound attenuating material is provided immediately upstream of the heater air discharge. The burner tailpipe comprises a weldment of two identical sheet metal pieces which cooperatively define a tailpipe conduit. A fuel gas inlet orifice is mounted in the wall of the mixer head to effect both regulation of the average flow rate and injection of the fuel to enhance its mixture with the air.
