Patents by Inventor Marek SCHOLLER

Marek SCHOLLER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11866361
    Abstract: A coaxial fuel and oxygen pipe apparatus can include a fuel pipe and an oxygen pipe, wherein the fuel pipe is contained within the oxygen pipe and the oxygen pipe comprises an internal diameter that is continuous without diameter changes along a length of the oxygen pipe. The fuel pipe can include an internal diameter that is continuous without diameter variations along a length of the fuel pipe. A discharge block includes a diverging section and a discharge that forms a final outlet with respect to the fuel pipe and the oxygen pipe. The discharge block is configured with two angles that can facilitate conditions for eliminating recirculation, wherein the two angles are matched to an expansion rate of the products of combustion to maintain a positive pressure throughout a final discharge from the final outlet.

  • Patent number: 10451271
    Abstract: The pre-mix burner assembly includes a jet pump comprising a combustion air tube, a flue gas inlet, and a suction chamber. The combustion air tube has an inlet and a tapered nozzle, and it is connected to a combustion gas fan. The flue gas inlet is connected to the suction chamber and the furnace chamber or other flue gas source. The suction chamber surrounds the combustion air tube, and it has a jet pump nozzle with a discharge. The combustion air exiting the combustion air nozzle creates a negative pressure in the suction chamber and draws flue gas into the suction chamber. There is a burner housing positioned downstream of the jet pump discharge. There is a fuel gas inlet connected to a mixing tube in the burner housing, and a burner block connected to the outlet of the burner housing.

  • Patent number: 9982885
    Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for utilizing a burner with a combustion air driven jet pump are described herein. One burner apparatus includes a jet pump located inside a burner housing, the jet pump having a combustion air inlet that receives combustion air, a chamber to receive the combustion air from the combustion air inlet, and a tapered portion of the chamber that tapers to an outlet having a smaller diameter than the diameter of the inlet.

  • Patent number: 9939151
    Abstract: A nozzle in a burner assembly is configured to produce a flame. The nozzle is configured to include a fuel-discharge outlet and to conduct fuel along a path in the nozzle to the fuel-discharge outlet. Pressurized primary oxygen is provided to mix with fuel discharged by the nozzle to produce a mixture that can be ignited to produce a flame. Staged oxygen is provided to the flame in a region downstream from the nozzle.
