  • Patent number: 10330318
    Abstract: A heat shield with support structure and a number of heat shield blocks secured thereto, having a cold side facing the support structure and a hot side opposite the cold side. At least one recess is arranged in at least one heat shield block circumferential face, connecting the cold to hot side. An opening connecting the recess to the cold side runs in the circumferential face perpendicularly to the cold side. A securing bolt inserted into the opening secures the heat shield block to the support structure. A bolt head protrudes at least partly into the recess. The securing bolt passes through an angled plate having first limb extending substantially parallel to the circumferential face and second limb extending into the recess. The angled plate has a reinforcing device extending beyond the pure angular shape to increase a resistance of the angled plate against bending due to the securing bolt.

  • Patent number: 9127842
    Abstract: A burner incorporating a pilot cone and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone is constructed as a pilot cone assembly which is decoupled from the mounting insert. Further, an operating method for increasing the service life of a burner which incorporates a pilot cone assembly and a mounting insert is provided. The pilot cone assembly has a cone side and incorporates at least one further side where the further side is arranged to be essentially parallel to one of the sides of the mounting insert and spaced apart from it, so that between the further side and the side of the mounting insert there is a defined gap. In an operation of the burner, the gap is significantly reduced by the thermal expansion in at least at one point of contact between the further side and the side of the mounting insert. Finally, an assembly method is provided.
