Abstract: A burner for a vehicle heating device having a fan or blower for supplying combustion air. A combustion chamber 2 has an inner surface which is provided with a porous lining. A fuel supply line is provided for supplying fuel to the lining. A glow plug ignites the fuel evaporated from the lining. A longitudinal axis of the glow plug has a longitudinal axis which is substantially parallel to a tangential plane of the circumferential wall of the combustion chamber.

Abstract: With a fluid fuel driven standard heating for motor vehicles, whose combustion chambers are equipped as vaporizer burners, a heater plug with open heater coils up to now would be installed in the usual way. What is disadvantageous for the operation, particularly in the starting, is the voltage dependence of such a heater plug. Also, with time an increasing carbonization would be established. According to the invention the vaporizing of the liquid fuel occurs under a seal by the use of a rod heater plug. The ignition can--independent of voltage--occur with the help of a spark plug (high voltage electrode). In a construction design the vaporizer is developed as a heat pipe, in which the rod heater plug is arranged.

Abstract: In space heaters with pressure atomization burners, which have a small combustion chamber volume, good mixing of air with fuel is achieved practically only in the case of relatively high air flow velocities, which leads, however, to difficulties in terms of ignition, especially at high operating voltages and low temperatures. The blower motor is therefore started first when putting the heater into operation, after which it is disconnected from the power source, so that the speed will again decrease, after which the high-voltage ignition and the fuel supply are turned on, so that the ignition can take place at reduced blower speed, and the high-voltage ignition is turned off and the blower motor is restarted after the flame has been recognized in the burner.

Abstract: Formerly unpleasant blue smoke was generated in a vaporizer burner for auxiliary heaters for motor vehicles once the fuel supply was cut off and the flame died down, as the remaining fuel was merely heated up, but not burnt. According to the invention the glow plug is activated for a determined period of time during the after-running phase of the combustion air blower. By this means practically all remaining fuel is vaporized and burnt and therefore the forming of blue smoke and remaining residues in the area of the plug muff and/or the burner is avoided.

Abstract: A combustion chamber for heating systems operated with liquid fuel can be used as vehicle heaters but also as heating systems for e.g. cooking purposes and whose control range is expanded as compared with known devices. The combustion chamber includes two sections separated from the combustion space by a plate with a passage opening. Depending on the purpose of use, a different flame guiding insert is arranged between the combustion space and the combustion chamber.

Abstract: An engine-independent heater, particularly a space heater for automobiles comprises a housing which includes a combustion chamber and an antechamber which is tangentially connected into the combustion chamber. The antechamber receives a fuel and air mixture which is ignited in the antechamber and directed into the main combustion chamber. The construction includes the housing carrying an ultrasonic vibrator which is actuated in order to intermix air which is drawn into the housing for the vibrator with fuel which is directed against the vibrator so that the coolant air intermix has there delivered into the antechamber of the heater. The construction includes a nipple connection into the antechamber which sprays fuel from a proportioning pump into the vicinity of the ultrasonic vibrator.
