Abstract:
A burner for use with an igniter for firing a flame into a heat-exchanger includes a body having a sidewall that defines an interior chamber. A first opening in the body receives a pre-mixed mixture of air and fuel. A second opening in the body is in fluid communication with the first opening. A distributor connected to the body closes the second opening. The distributor includes a first portion and at least one curved second, portion provided on the first portion. Each second portion includes a plurality of first perforations in fluid communication with the first opening in the body. The first perforations of one second portion are positioned adjacent to the igniter such that ignition of the pre-mix mixture flowing through the first perforations results in a flame through the second portion.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cooking top (1), in particular adapted to be used in a household environment, comprising at least one gas burner (40) which can be used with at least one fuel gas. The cooking top also comprises flame divider means (9) associated with the gas burner (40) and comprising at least one semi-permeable element (90), which is permeable to gaseous substances and substantially impermeable to liquid substances. The semi-permeable element (90) may be a micro-perforated sheet, a fibrous membrane, or a porous membrane.
Abstract:
A heating unit has a cartridge that constitutes a single component, which can be readily removed and replaced with a new cartridge. The cartridge is a plurality of non-flammable layers bound together in a border. The layers include a stainless steel mesh located above a layer of ceramic wool. With the cartridge, replacement can be accomplished in less then fifteen minutes compared to a downtime of a week or more previously.
Abstract:
A segmented radiant gas burner features wide modulation of thermal output simply by the independent control of fuel gas flow to each burner segment. The burner also features a porous fiber burner face, preferably having dual porosities, and a metal liner positioned to provide a compact combustion zone adjacent the burner face. The segmented radiant burner is ideally suited for use with gas turbines not only because of its compactness and broad thermal modulation but also because only the flow of fuel gas to each burner segment requires control while the flow of compressed air into all segments of the burner remains unchanged.
Abstract:
A combustion device comprises a porous distributive layer, a combustion chamber disposed downstream of the porous distributive layer, and an emissive matrix in an active flame zone in the combustion chamber of the device downstream from the porous distributive layer. The emissive matrix comprises a three dimensional matrix structure made of heat absorbing, heat radiating, and heat conducting bodies. The device includes a blower for delivering a fuel/oxidizer mixture at sufficiently elevated pressure to an upstream face of the porous distributive layer to distribute the active flame zone substantially throughout the emissive matrix.
Abstract:
A porous, low-conductivity material formed of metal or ceramic fibers provides the burner face of a gaseous fuel combustor for gas turbines capable of minimizing nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in the combustion product gases. A preferred burner face, when fired at atmospheric pressure, yields radiant surface combustion with interspersed areas of blue flame combustion. A rigid but porous mat of sintered metal fibers with interspersed bands of perforations is illustrative of a preferred burner face that can be fired at pressures exceeding 3 atmospheres at the rate of at least about 500,000 BTU/her/sf/atm. By controlling the excess air admixed with the fuel in the range of about 40% to 150% to maintain an adiabatic flame temperature in the range of about 2600° F. to 3300° F., the NOx emissions are suppressed to 5 ppm and even below 2 ppm. At all times, carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons emissions do not exceed 10 ppm, combined.

Abstract:
A membrane for radiant gas burners comprises a fabric (18) of metal fibers. The membrane has a surface which has a permanent undulation to such a degree that its surface area is at least five per cent greater than the surface area of a comparable flat membrane. In a preferable embodiment, the amplitude and the pitch of the undulation is such that, in operation, heat is radiated to and reflected from the flanks (24', 24") of the undulation. The result is an increased radiative output and radiative efficiency.
Abstract:
The gas burner according to the invention has a burner chamber housing, a mixing pipe connected to the burner chamber housing for supplying a gas/air mixture, a burner plate made of fibrous material and attached to the burner chamber housing at edge regions of the burner plate, a blower for supplying air to make the gas/air mixture, and advantageously an ignition device, a safety device and a temperature monitoring device. A central region of the burner plate is advantageously directly or indirectly connected to a corresponding central region of the burner chamber housing to suppress burner plate vibration during start-up of burner operation to prevent sound generation during the start-up and minimize the pressure drop in the burner chamber. In a preferred embodiment a recessed portion formed in a middle region of a base plate of the burner chamber housing is shaped to contact on a central region of the burner plate and a temperature-resistant adhesive is used to connect the burner plate and the recessed portion of the burner chamber housing.

A gaseous fuel burner and method in which a high-firing rate (blue/non-surface radiant) zone is created between two lower firing rate (red/surface radiant) combustion zones. The method of the invention can be achieved by selective perforation of porous sintered fiber mat burner surfaces to achieve improved burner performance and relatively low NO.sub.x emissions.
