  • Patent number: 11585528
    Abstract: A burner assembly having a blower housing, a blower to supply air to the burner assembly, a blast tube having a longitudinal axis, a fuel source to supply fuel to the burner assembly, a center tube that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and conveys air and fuel to a center tube burner end opening, a plurality of premix tubes, each of which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and conveys air and fuel to a premix tube burner end opening, a diffuser that is disposed in the center tube near the center tube burner end opening, a nozzle that is disposed in the center tube substantially perpendicular to the diffuser. The center tube air and fuel mixture is fuel rich and the premix tubes air and fuel mixture is fuel lean. A method for burning the center tube air and fuel mixture and the premix tubes mixtures.

  • Publication number: 20200370830
    Abstract: A system for drying an organic material includes: a drying chamber to hold the organic material under controlled atmospheric conditions; convection equipment to regulate temperature and humidity within the drying chamber; flow control equipment to regulate flow of one or more gases in and out of the drying chamber; sensing equipment to sense the atmospheric conditions of the drying chamber; a processor; and memory communicably connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive sensed data from the sensing equipment; and control the convection equipment and the flow control equipment based on the sensed data.
