  • Dual fuel circuit gas burner
    Patent number: 6439882
    Abstract: Increased turndown ratio is achieved by providing an atmospheric gas burner having a burner body with a plurality of ports formed therein and a fuel flow divider disposed in the burner body. The fuel flow divider defines a primary fuel chamber and at least one secondary fuel chamber, wherein the secondary fuel chamber is in fluid communication with at least one of the ports and the primary fuel chamber is in fluid communication with the remaining ports. A first mixing tube introduces a fuel-air mixture into the primary fuel chamber, and a second mixing tube introduces a fuel-air mixture into the secondary fuel chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • Spiral-shaped atmospheric gas burner
    Patent number: 6439881
    Abstract: Improved burner performance is achieved by providing an atmospheric gas burner with a spiral-shaped burner body. A plurality of ports is formed in the burner body so as to be in fluid communication with the burner's internal chamber. Preferably, the burner body includes a substantially cylindrical hub section and an arm section that is joined at one end to the hub section and bends around the hub section.
