Publication number: 20120085338Abstract: An air control regulator regulates the amount of air flowing into the inlet of a combustion chamber by causing flowing air to support a disc located in the air passage against the force of gravity. Air passes around the edges of the disc and is channeled into a plurality of airflows by ovoid depressions in the inner surfaces of the regulator forming a venturi chamber. By regulating the airflow into the combustion chamber, combustion efficiency is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2011Publication date: April 12, 2012Applicant: Flamekeeper, LLCInventor: Mark William Kendall
