  • Patent number: 8869752
    Abstract: A cast iron or aluminum sectional boiler has essentially annular sections, one front section, one rear section and at least one center section being provided which form a furnace chamber having essentially surrounding heating gas passages, and their annular water compartments are connected to one another via hubs. The sections have one return connection piece and one feed connection piece, one flue spigot as well as at least two anchor rods for holding the section block together. Annular gaps are provided as heating gas passages between each two adjacent sections, and that the heating gas passages are subdivided into a primary section and a secondary section.

  • Patent number: 8827692
    Abstract: A method for regulating a temperature of a combustion medium in a mixing zone of a burner and a method for regulating a burner, in particular an oil burner, a burner performance being modulated. A heating system including a burner, which includes a regulating device, and a regulating device for a burner, in particular an oil burner. The method/system is intended to provide as constant a temperature as possible in the mixing zone during the different operating modes and with changed burner performance. The combustion air flows through a first supply tract in a first operating mode and in adjustable proportions through the first and/or a second supply tract in a second operating mode, and the combustion air is supplied with heat via a heating element, which may be switched on and off, in the first supply tract, and with heat from a combustion zone in the second supply tract.

  • Publication number: 20130344447
    Abstract: An oil premix burner comprising: a combustion element; a burner surface on the outer lateral surface; a distribution chamber below the burner surface; a central oil injection device; a combustion air channel connected to a blower situated upstream as well as an air heat exchanger for the preheating of the combustion air in the area of the burner surface. In each case, the annular space formed between the inner tube and the outer tube of all the double tube elements opens out into an annular-shaped collecting chamber, and the preheated combustion air, starting from the collecting chamber, flows inwards via a swirl-generating device into the area around the oil injection device into the distribution chamber.

  • Publication number: 20130260326
    Abstract: An oil premix burner, having a burning element, a burner surface on the outer lateral surface, a distribution chamber below the burner surface, a central oil injection device, a combustion air duct connected to a fan situated upstream, and an air heat exchanger for preheating the combustion air in the area of the burner surface. The combustion quality and the robustness are optimized in an oil premix burner, in particular with respect to the modulation capability. It is provided that the air heat exchanger is composed of at least one double tube element including an inner tube, having inline throughflow, and an outer tube concentric to the inner tube. The air heat exchanger is situated above the burner surface and is composed of multiple parallel throughflow double tube elements symmetrically distributed over the circumference and which extend axis-parallel to the burning element at least over a portion of its length.

  • Publication number: 20120055420
    Abstract: A sectional boiler is described as being made of cast iron or aluminum, in particular a condensing boiler, having essentially annular sections, a front section, a cover-shaped rear section and at least one center section being provided, which form a combustion chamber having an essentially surrounding heat exchanger made of a sectional block, whose annular water chambers are connected to one another via at least one hub and which has gap-like heating gas flues, having a return port and a feed port in the upper area and at least two armature rods for holding the sectional block together. The present system is based on the objective of optimizing a sectional boiler made of cast iron or aluminum particularly with respect to compactness and robustness.

  • Publication number: 20120055421
    Abstract: A sectional boiler is described as made of cast iron or aluminum, in particular a condensing boiler, having essential annular sections, a front section, at least one rear section and at least one center section being provided, which form a combustion chamber having an essentially surrounding heat exchanger made of a sectional block, whose annular water chambers are connected to one another and which has gap-like heating gas flues, which extend between two adjacent sections with a mutually adapted geometry approximately radially and empty into an exhaust gas collection chamber, and having a return port and a feed port. The present system is based on the objective of optimizing a sectional boiler made of cast iron or aluminum as a condensing boiler particularly with respect to compactness and robustness.

  • Publication number: 20110139093
    Abstract: A cast iron or aluminum sectional boiler, in particular a condensing boiler, having generally annular sections, one front section, one cover-like rear section and at least one center section being provided which form a furnace chamber having generally surrounding heating gas passages, and their annular water compartments are connected to one another via hubs. The sections have one lower return connection and one upper feed connection as well as at least two anchor rods for holding the section block together. The cast iron or aluminum sectional boiler is optimized with respect to compactness and robustness. Annular gaps are in each case provided as heating gas passages between two adjacent sections, each of which, starting from the furnace chamber, runs approximately radially outwards and leads into an exhaust gas collection chamber on the outside of the sections.
