Abstract: The invention is concerned with a heat-exchanger for arrangement behind the combustion chamber of a heating boiler.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radiant burner for boilers, consisting of a sheet metal support (1), with a gas feed line (3) leading to a gas inlet port (2) in the sheet metal support (1) and a curved burner surface (4) of wire cloth arranged at an opposite side of the sheet metal support. According to the invention, the burner surface (4) is of hemispherical shape and at least one similarly hemispherical gas distributor (5) of perforated sheet metal is arranged concentrically under the burner surface and is spaced therefrom at a distance (A) which is considerably smaller than the diameter (D) of the hemisphere of the burner surface (4) and is also affixed to the sheet metal support (1). The diameter (D.sub.1) of the gas inlet port (6) corresponds substantially to the diameter (D.sub.2) of the hemispherical gas distributor (5). Such a construction fulfills the requirements of a large gas inlet port, stability of the burner surface and good gas distribution over the burner surface.

Abstract: There is disclosed a blower-type burner for use with heating boilers which is effective for reducing NO.sub.x pollutants produced by flue gases. The device is mountable about an opening in a closure or sealing panel of a furnace body and provides for containment of the flue gas path within the burner. A separated dual impeller system provides for complete separation of the flue gas path from a combustion intake system.

Abstract: There is disclosed a hot gas flue pipe assembly designed for use inside a heating boiler. The assembly has an outer pipe and an inner pipe, and the outer pipe envelopes the inner pipe in such a way that circumferential contact deformations disposed at least in separate sub zones are capable of transferring heat between the two pipes. In order to prevent the occurrence of cracking noises during the flow of hot flue gases through the hot gas flue pipe, or at least to reduce such noises to an acceptable level, the inner pipe comprises one or more sections which, when inserted inside the outer pipe, define with their opposed ends, a circumferential gap that is filled with an elastic, heat-resistant and moisture-resistant cementitious material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling the temperature of heating and cooling plants having a heat or cooling source of adjustable rated temperature via particularly a microprocessor-controlled control system. The actual outside temperature determined by an outside temperature sensor is not used as reference temperature but instead there is used a theoretical mean outside temperature stored at specific scanning times of a calendar year. Said theoretical mean outside temperature is stored in the form of a characteristic diagram in a non-erasable memory for one or several climate zones.

Abstract: An atmospheric gas burner assembly comprises a burner tube defining a multiplicity of gas outlet ports and an element reducing the flame temperature and, hence, the emission of oxides of nitrogen disposed above the burner tube in the flame area. To optimize the reduction of NO.sub.x emission without affecting permitted CO values and to render the values of reduction in NO.sub.x emissions largely independent of the geometry of the surrounding combustion chamber so as to obtain reproducible emission reduction values, the reducing element is constituted by a multiplicity of fins confining the flames in shafts extending therebetween, the fins extending perpendicularly above the tube and being distributed along the tube.

Abstract: A heating boiler for substantially continuous controlled combustion of baled straw. The boiler includes a straw feed channel communicating with a combustion chamber having a combustion zone adjacent the rear wall of the combustion chamber, a flue gas heat exchange chamber above the combustion chamber in communication with a flue gas vent and an ash collecting pit below the combustion chamber. A horizontal floor is disposed between the combustion chamber and the ash collecting pit, the floor having a slot adjacent the rear wall of the combustion chamber for passage of ash from the combustion zone into the ash collecting pit and for intake of primary air into the combustion zone. A vertically rotatable ash stripper assembly extends from the rear wall of the combustion chamber, and serves to strip ash from the straw bale surface being combusted in the combustion zone. The ash stripper assembly can be rotated by means of a hollow shaft which also constitutes a secondary air intake.

An insert body passes through the openings and is affixed thereto, the water being held between the shell and insert body. The insert body includes a cast iron casing providing a combustion chamber in the interior thereof, defining ducts for combustion gases of the fuel burnt in the combustion chamber and a smoke box at the rear wall and in communication with the ducts for receiving the combustion gases therefrom, and a sheet steel casing forming a skin over the cast iron casing and tightly fitting thereover. The sheet steel casing is fluid tightly connected with the front and rear walls of the shell around the rims of the opening therein.

Abstract: A heating boiler is provided which includes a water jacket including front and rear walls with fuel flues being employed in the boiler. A tube is provided which extends through the water jacket and extends through the front and rear walls and encloses the aforesaid flues as well as defining a combustion chamber and a collecting chamber. A sleeve is provided in the vicinity of the collecting chamber and the tube and sleeve are in such a relationship that one encircles the other. A gap is defined between the tube and sleeve at least one of which is provided with a bulge adjacent the gap to increase the size of the gap between the tube and sleeve. The outermost of the tube and sleeve members is connected in a thermally conductive manner with the rear wall of the water jacket, and a closure is provided with respect to either the tube or the sleeve to obturate the collecting chamber. In one embodiment, the sleeve encircles the tube, and, in another embodiment, the tube encircles the sleeve.
