  • Publication number: 20200355366
    Abstract: The clear chaffer fuel canister of the present invention allows the users to determine the hours of burn time remaining in relation to the volume of fuel remaining. Visual indicators on the clear base vessel correspond to the predetermined burn time remaining. The volume of fuel, as it reaches the visual indicators provides the user a quick and reliable means of determining the burn time remaining with the clear chaffer fuel canister. The burn time remaining is an essential feature, as clear chaffer fuel canisters are generally used in the food industry in maintaining the proper temperature of prepared food. The burn time remaining provides an indication to the users and allows the users to determine the optimal time to replace the clear chaffer fuel canister and maintain the appropriate temperature of the displayed food.

  • Publication number: 20200355367
    Abstract: This disclosure presents a clean burning flare stack, or gas flare, especially the tip portion thereof. The gas flare tip is air assisted to ensure clean burning. The disclosed gas flare tip provides smokeless clean burning of released gases. For example, the gas flare tip burns the released gases in a lean burning condition such that sufficient air is supplied to the surges of gases. In addition, the gas flare tip, by using a low pressure blower mixing chamber, is capable of handling low pressure gases and high pressure gases. As such, different flow rates may be provided to the gas flare tip when different amounts of low pressure and high pressure flammable gases are mixed with sufficient blower air to provide a clean burning condition. The disclosed smokeless gas flare is thus environmentally friendly and aesthetically appealing.
