DUAL RING BURNER OVNI
There is disclosed a toroidal double ring flame burner comprising a toroidal cover with a lower wall and a burner body comprising a mixing tube which receives and emits a combustible-air pre-mixture; a mixing chamber which receives said pre-mixture and homogenizes it, creating a combustible-air mixture; a distribution channel for distributing the mixture; an inner crenellated wall and an outer crenellated wall, said crenellated walls are separated by the distribution channel and with at least main combustion ports and secondary combustion ports; over the inner crenellated wall, at least one inner barrier rail with combustion ports of inner barrier rail; over the outer crenellated wall, at least one outer barrier rail with combustion ports of outer barrier rail; over the outer crenellated wall at least one outer barrier rail with outer barrier rail combustion ports.
The present invention relates to a toroidal double ring burner which presents flames to the inner and to the outer parts of said ring, wherein the flames are inclined upwardly. The inclination of said flames of the ring increases the contact area of these with the receptacle, both towards the outer part as well as to the inner part of the ring, and thereby increases thermal efficacy of the burner.
BACKGROUNDA considerable amount of burners intended for use in household equipment exist in the marketplace, initially, the main objective for these was to make available a flame which would light up unto the utensils wishing to be heated, without considering aspects regarding the efficacy of use of the combustibles used for heating purposes or aspects of an ecologic character; with time the design of burners has had an evolution towards resolving the above mentioned aspects, among others.

The back wall (206) of the distribution channel comprises three sections, a central section (214) and two outer sections (215, 216); the outer sections (215, 216) are inclined towards the central section (214) of said back wall (206), the end sections of the outer sections (215, 216) of said back wall (206) are higher than the central section (214) of said back wall (206); it should be noted that the distribution channel (205) has a transversal section which is uniform, in such a way that the area through which the flow of the combustible-air mixture (10) passes through is kept constant.

Attached to the exit of the Venturi tube (104) an inner barrier rail (225) is found on the inner wall (203) and an outer barrier rail (228) on the outer wall (204), said inner and outer barrier rails (225, 228) present a sinuous trajectory which follows the combustible-air mixture (10) prior to becoming fully incorporated into the distribution channel (205), so upon presenting a turbulent flow to the inner part of said barrier rails, the energy of the combustible-air (10) is dissipated and thus the particles which enter the combustion ports be able to have a lower velocity, thereby allowing adequate ignition of said final combustible-air mixture.

Similarly, said toroidal double ring burner (100) presents a toroidal cover lid (50), preferably made of steel. Said toroidal cover lid (50) is placed over the peripheral combustion ports of the body (20) of the toroidal double ring burner (100).
In
Said multiple flame burner (1) is placed over a support (not shown) which joins with a surface of the stove for example by means of perforations and screws, on this support, the Venturi tube (104) is housed, on the lower part of the support, a distributor for combustible is housed, unto which the corresponding nozzle and the combustion nozzle (7) are connected; the distributor of combustible is designed in such a way that it may be connected to a simple exit valve (not shown), thereby controlling the heating intensity.
The functioning of the toroidal double ring burner (100) of present invention is the following:
Said multiple selection valve (not shown) is activated, in such a way that it allows the flow of combustible from the nozzle and the combustion port nozzle (7) towards the Venturi tube (104), given the difference in velocities, primary air (1) from the surroundings is dragged towards the inner part of said Venturi tube (104), forming a combustible-air pre-mixture (4), which presents a turbulent flow which exits at a first velocity, which itself is not sufficiently uniform to carry out an adequate dart flame ignition, so that the combustible-air pre-mixture (4) continues its trajectory along the length of the Venturi tube (104) and is expelled through the exit (223) of the Venturi tube (104), said combustible-air pre-mixture (4) is homogenized in the proximal vicinity of the exit (223) of the Venturi tube (104), upon flowing out from the same and colliding against the lower part of the toroidal cover lid (50) which forms part of the mixture chamber (237), where the final combustible-air mixture (9) takes place at a second velocity in order to decelerate or decrease the energy of the mixture, and enters the barrier rails (225, 228), which help decrease the energy of the mix to avoid flame detachment in the combustion ports nearby to the mixture chamber (237), afterwards it is distributed through the distribution channel (205) to exit through the main inner peripheral combustion ports (2191) and the main outer peripheral combustion ports (2192), said mixture presents the sufficient uniformity to undertake an adequate dart flame ignition, the second velocity being lower than the first velocity, the combustible-air mixture which exits through the main inner peripheral combustion ports (2191) is ignited given the contact between the final combustible-air mixture with a spark emanating from a spark plug (not shown), once said flame dart is formed in the main inner peripheral combustion port (2191), this flame dart extends in a radial manner to the remaining main inner peripheral combustion ports (2191) means of secondary inner peripheral combustion ports (2211), afterwards a flame is transferred to the stability and transfer chamber (232), which then transfers the flame to the inner crenellated wall (203) towards the outer crenellated wall (204), igniting a flame dart on one of the main outer peripheral combustion ports (2192), this flame dart extends in a radial manner to the remaining main outer peripheral combustion ports (2192) by means of secondary outer peripheral combustion ports (2212), the mass of the combustible-air mixture which is burnt in the flame darts is the same as that which is formed in the mixture chamber (237), similarly, the exiting velocity of the combustible air mixture is determinant for the length of flame dart which is formed at the main inner and outer peripheral combustion ports, if the combustible-air mixture were to not decrease its velocity from a first velocity to a second velocity, the flame dart would completely detach from said double ring toroidal burner.
In an alternative embodiment, the spark plug (not shown) is found set in close proximity to the main outer peripheral combustion ports (2192), once said flame dart is formed at the main outer peripheral combustion ports (2192), this flame dart extends in a radial manner to the remaining main outer peripheral combustion ports (2192) by means of secondary outer peripheral combustion ports (2212), afterwards, a flame is transferred to the stability and transfer chamber (232), which then transfers the flame to the outer crenellated wall (204) towards the inner crenellated wall (203), igniting a flame dart on one of the main inner peripheral combustion ports (2191), this flame dart extends in a radial manner to the remaining main inner peripheral combustion ports (2191) by means of secondary inner peripheral combustion ports (2211).
In a second alternative embodiment there is no spark plug, so that the flame dart is ignited by means of the contact with an outer flame, which emanates from a lighter, a match etc.
Said double ring toroidal flame burner is found installed unto a household appliance, as could be a household stove, an industrial stove, a grill etc.
Alterations to the structure hereby described for the present invention can be foreseen by those persons skilled in the art. However, it should be understood that present description is related with the preferred embodiments of the invention, which is merely for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation of present invention.
