Abstract:
The invention consists of a pulse combustor, comprising two spaced apart outer plates, the outer plates 5 having flat outer regions, conical regions inside of the flat regions and central hubs, where the volume between conical regions of the plates defines a combustion chamber. The pulse combustor further comprises a plurality of intermediate plates located between the outer plates, the plurality of intermediate plates being spaced apart to form tailpipe regions therebetween and between the outer plates and adjacent ones of the intermediate plates and a burner coupled to one of the hubs, the burner operative to ignite a fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber. The outer and intermediate plates have spiral coolant passageways therein for conducting cooling fluid to cool expanding gases traveling between the plates through the tailpipe regions. The invention further consists of a burner assembly for use in a combustion chamber.

Abstract:
A compact boiler (100) suited for portable usage in generating hot water and/or steam is described. The boiler (100) incorporates just one helical coil (106) formed from a spirally corrugated metal pipe of 1 mm thick, 20 mm diameter stainless steel wound into a single helix with the peaks of the corrugations of adjacent turns just touching one another. The spirally corrugated pipe resembles a screw having four starts. A series of concentric baffles (108, 109, 110) ensure that hot gases from a burner will pass over or between the pipe of the helix (106) several times, thereby improving the transfer of heat to the water contained within the pipe.
Abstract:
The fuel supply of the heating boiler is continuously regulated as a function of the atmospheric conditions, and its compact heat exchanger comprised of tubular copper coiled pipes (4) enables to lower the temperature of flue gas during partial loads and without any corrosion dangers for the heating boiler and without any risk of sooting the chimney shaft (1). The tubular coiled pipe is circulated by hot water in counter-current with respect to rising gas, and the coiled pipes are crossing each other on each stage, in an offset manner so that each flue gas rising stream is deviated consecutively by the successive tubular coiled pipes, while condensation water flowing on the coiled pipes of the stages transfers heat to the hot water.
Abstract:
In a water heating system, vapor in the products of combustion gases is condensed in a secondary heat exchanger (22) positioned in a housing with the primary heat exchanger (20) and combustion chamber (44). The two heat exchangers are coaxial coils with the secondary coil surrounding the primary. Gases flow radially through the primary coil, axially along a baffle (46) and then axially through the secondary coil at an increased velocity. The gas/air mixture is burned in a burner (50) within the primary heat exchanger and the gas product are drawn through the exchangers by a blower (58). A water storage tank (34) is designed to enhance stratification of hot water over cooler water. The cooler water is used to condense vapor in the secondary heat exchanger.

Abstract:
A method of producing a heat exchanger having a hollow elongated member (3) for conducting a liquid, and coiled about an axis (A) to form a number of adjacent turns (13) and a gap of predetermined size between the adjacent turns (13). The method includes the steps of coiling the hollow elongated member (3) about the axis (A) with such a coil pitch that the adjacent turns (13) either contact one another or are spaced apart by a distance smaller than the predetermined size of the gap; and inserting spacers between the adjacent turns (13); the spacers being designed to define the predetermined size of the gap, and to generate in the coiled hollow elongated member (3) a compressive force (F) along the axis (A).
