  • Patent number: 5433601
    Abstract: In order to improve a burner for generating hot gas comprising a burner pipe, a nozzle arranged in the burner pipe and having an outlet in its front face, a fuel jet exiting through the outlet, a shield arranged near the nozzle for subdividing the burner pipe into a precombustion chamber located upstream and accommodating the nozzle and a combustion chamber located downstream, a central passage arranged in the shield for the fuel jet exiting from the outlet and a plurality of openings surrounding the passage in the shield, combustion air passing through the openings from the precombustion chamber into the combustion chamber such that deposits are no longer formed therein, it is suggested that an air gap is provided between the shield and the nozzle, combustion air passing through the air gap from the precombustion chamber through the passage into the combustion chamber, and that a rim of the passage is provided with a flow disruption edge for the combustion air passing through the air gap.

  • Patent number: 5370526
    Abstract: In order to improve a burner for generating hot gas having a burner pipe, comprising a support pipe followed by a flame pipe, a nozzle arranged in the support pipe, a fuel jet exiting from the nozzle, a shield separating a precombustion chamber and a combustion chamber from one another in the burner pipe, the shield having a central passage penetrated by the fuel jet, recirculation openings arranged in the flame pipe and allowing an outer recirculation of cooled flue gas and an element for suppressing the outer recirculation during a starting phase of the burner, such that a reliable suppression of the outer recirculation during the starting phase is possible it is suggested that the element for suppressing the outer recirculation be arranged within the burner pipe and be controllable via a control means guided through an interior of the support pipe.

  • Patent number: 4629414
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-gas generating burner comprising a nozzle charging a fuel jet which then enters a mixing tube, and an orifice plate surrounding the outlet of the nozzle. The casing of the burner is divided by the orifice plate into an upstream-disposed precombustion chamber which includes the nozzle, and a downstream combustion chamber which contains the mixing tube. The orifice has a central passage for the fuel jet which is discharged from the nozzle and a number of openings surrounding the passage. In order to reduce the noise concomitant with the operation of the burner, the spacing between the peripheries of the neighboring openings equals at least 50% of the diameter of the openings, and/or the openings in the orifice plate are associated with at least one air duct in the direction of flow.

  • Patent number: 4604104
    Abstract: In a gasifying oil burner with an oil atomizing device, with combustion air upply means surrounding the atomizing device, with a shield having a shield opening, said shield being disposed downstream of the outlet of the atomizer, with a mixing tube disposed downstream of the outlet of the atomizer, with a mixing tube disposed downsteam of an co-axial with the shield opening, with a radial passage at an upstream portion of the mixing tube, with a generally cylindric flame tube whose upstream end is sealingly connected to the end wall of the combustion air supply means carrying the shield, and wherein it is proposed that the mixing tube be provided with a solid wall at a section thereof adjoining the shield, that the radial passage adjoin a part of the mixing tube provided with the solid wall, and that the axial length of the mixing tube portion with the solid wall extending between the shield and the radial passage be between the 0.1-multiple and the 0.
