    摘要: A cooking apparatus, having a body defining an interior cooking chamber for cooking food, a pellet supply portion coupled to the body and including a hopper for storing fuel, a combustion chamber for burning the fuel and heating the cooking chamber, a feeding mechanism for supplying fuel from the hopper to the combustion chamber, and a removable collection receptacle located below the combustion chamber. The apparatus also includes an ash-shaker located between the collection receptacle and the combustion chamber, the ash-shaker including an external actuator that controls one or more moving elements located in the combustion chamber, wherein movement of the moving elements encourages unburned debris in the combustion chamber to fall into the receptacle, after which the collection receptacle can be removed and the unburned debris discarded.

    摘要: A blown air heating system has a housing having an upstream air inlet and a downstream air outlet and a forced-air device configured to draw air into the housing via the air inlet and force the air out of the housing via the air outlet, wherein the air follows an airflow path from the air inlet to the air outlet. A gas burner is configured to heat the air as it passes through the housing. A gas valve is configured to provide a fuel gas to the gas burner, and the gas valve is located between the air inlet and the air outlet and in the airflow path. A baffle is in the airflow path, and the baffle is configured to divert the flow of air away from at least part of the gas valve.

    摘要: An air blower and a combustion device including the air blower are provided.
    An air blower includes an impeller housed in a casing and rotating. The impeller includes multiple blades to form multiple inter-blade passages, and a central space portion. When the impeller rotates, air flowing into the central space portion through an air intake port of the casing passes through the inter-blade passages at an outward side. To reduce noise generated when the air passes through the inter-blade passages, each blade includes: multiple first concavo-convex portions, with a first surface side being concave and a second surface side on the other side being convex, from among a first and a second surface corresponding to a front and a rear surface of each blade; and multiple second concavo-convex portions, with the second surface side being concave and the first surface side being convex, contrary to the first concavo-convex portions.

    摘要: A purging device configured to purge a container defining a periphery of a pressurized explosion-proof structure by supplying protective gas into the container is provided. A purge controlling module controls a flow rate adjusting device to supply the protective gas into the container to purge during a purging period including at least two main periods and at least one sub period. The main period and the sub period are set alternately on a time axis. A maximum supply flow rate per unit time during the sub period is at or below 10% of a maximum supply flow rate per unit time during the last main period, and at or below 10% of a maximum supply flow rate per unit time during the next main period.

    摘要: A gas burner assembly for a cooktop appliance and a method for operating the same are provided. The gas burner assembly includes a normally aspirated primary burner, a concentrically-positioned forced air boost burner, a boost valve for regulating a flow of boost fuel to the boost burner, and a forced air supply source for providing a flow of air to the boost burner. The method includes activating the boost burner upon receiving a command and starting a timer. After a predetermined amount of time has passed, e.g., such as ten minutes, the boost burner is extinguished by closing the boost valve to prevent unsafe operating conditions.
