FIELD OF THE EMBODIMENTSThe field of the embodiments is hydrocarbon burners. More specifically, the devices at which the combustion process takes place.
BACKGROUND OF THE EMBODIMENTSThere are numerous instances in industrial practice that requires the combustion of hydrocarbons to meet a variety of goals. Those goals include energy production and hydrocarbon destruction. Efficient burners are a key component in these combustion systems. Many burners in practice today do not rely on efficient processes to meet the overall combustion goals. The embodiments of the instant invention are designed to meet those goals.
SUMMARY OF THE EMBODIMENTSThe embodiments of the Hydrocarbon Burner are comprised of a fuel supply connection, an air supply 90-degree connector, an air supply support tube, a perforated air supply tube, an air supply connector, fuel supply connection, a support angle, an intake manifold, a support plate, two side perforated burner tubes, a middle perforated burner tube, two side plates, and a manifold. The Hydrocarbon Burner can be used in oil field, gas field, landfill, and coal field off-gas combustion.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the embodiments of the Hydrocarbon Burner in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the embodiments that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the embodiments in detail, it is to be understood that the embodiment is not limited in this application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The embodiment or embodiments are capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be used as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the embodiments. Additional benefits and advantages of the embodiments will become apparent in those skilled in the art to which the present embodiments relate from the subsequent description of the preferred embodiment and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the embodiments.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientist, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the embodiments of the application which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the embodiments in any way.
The embodiments of the Hydrocarbon Burner 100 are comprised of a fuel supply connection, 108, an air supply 90-degree connector 112, an air supply support tube 111, a perforated air supply tube 110, an air supply connector 109, fuel supply connection 108, one or more support angles 107, an intake manifold 106, a support plate 105, two side perforated burner tubes 103, a middle perforated burner tube 104, two side plates 102, and an end manifold 101.
The hydrocarbon fuel enters the intake manifold 106 via the fuel supply connection 108. Fuel flows from the intake manifold 106 into a plurality of perforated burner tubes 103, 104. In one embodiment of the Hydrocarbon Burner there are three perforated burner tubes, a middle perforated burner tube 104 and two side perforated burner tubes 103. Air enters the Hydrocarbon Burner through an air supply 90-degree connector 112 and into the perforated air supply tube 110. Air then leaves the perforated air supply air tube 110 and mixes with the hydrocarbon fuel as it enters the intake manifold. Air and fuel continue to mix within the intake manifold 106. The air fuel mixture enters the perforated burner tubes 103, 104 and the combustion process begins as it exits the perforations on the perforated burner tubes 103, 104.
The perforated air supply tube 110 is fabricated from a highly heat conducting material. In one preferred embodiment, the perforated air supply tube 110 is fabricated from copper or copper alloy material to facilitate heat transfer. The perforated air supply tube 110 is fitted within the air supply connector 109 and the air supply support tube 111 in part to maintain a thermal connection to the outside surfaces of the Hydrocarbon Burner to facilitate heat transfer.
In another embodiment of the Hydrocarbon Burner, the ¼″ coupling is a ¼″ tank flange. Further, in another embodiment of the Hydrocarbon Burner, there will not be a short nipple or a coupling coming out of the top of tank flange rather there will be a plastic plug that holds the aspirator inside the burner until it is ready to be installed.
