  • Patent number: 5197871
    Abstract: A vaporizing type burner including a cylindrical body, a combustion chamber, a fuel absorbing section for receiving a fuel therein and vaporizing the received fuel therefrom, a mixer tube in which a vaporized fuel and a combustion air are mixed with each other to prepare a mixture gas and an igniting plug for igniting the mixture gas radially ejected from the mixer tube wherein a supporting member for accommodating the fuel absorbing section in the cylindrical body is arranged in such a manner as not to allow the fuel absorbing section to be exposed directly the combustion chamber, a vaporizing chamber is arranged adjacent to the fuel absorbing section and the supporting member so as to allow a part of the combustion gas generated in the combustion chamber to be introduced into the vaporizing chamber without any burning flame, an air swirling chamber includes a plurality of guide plates for imparting a swirling force to the combustion air, the mixer tube is communicated not only with the air swirling chamber

  • Patent number: 4669974
    Abstract: An improved liquid fuel combustion apparatus of the type including a cylindrical combustion chamber, an ignition plug, an ignition plug mounting sleeve and a heat exchanger is disclosed. The cylindrical combustion chamber and the heat exchanger constituting essential components of the apparatus are separable. The ignition plug mounting sleeve is firmly mounted within coaxially aligned nipples on the heat exchanger and on the combustion chamber so that its inner wall lined with a layer of wick is exposed to the interior of the cylindrical combustion chamber. Typically, the ignition plug mounting sleeve is secured to the mounting seat by securing a flange on the outer surface of the mounting sleeve to mounting seat associated with the nipple of the heat exchanger by means of bolts with a packing interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: 4627412
    Abstract: An improved vaporized liquid fuel combustion apparatus of the type including a cylindrical combustion chamber, a blower and a heat exchanger is disclosed. An end plate located at the upstream end of the combustion chamber is formed with an air flow guide port through which combustion air is introduced into the combustion chamber. The air flow guide port is located at a position eccentric relative to the axis of the cylindrical combustion chamber. An air guide is disposed in the area located in the proximity of the air flow guide port in such a manner to generate swirl flow in the combustion chamber. The air guide may be disposed on the wall surface of the end plate either on the side located opposite to the blower casing or on the side located opposite to the combustion chamber. The air guide is preferably formed integral with the end plate by press working.
