Burner-boiler combination and an improved burner construction therefor

摘要

A compact burner-boiler combination having an improved heating cycle for effecting substantial fuel saving and maximum boiler and combustion efficiency in a relatively simple and expedient manner. This is attained by a compact boiler construction utilizing an improved burner construction and method of combustion in which a liquid fuel is gasified by the heating products of combustion to form a homogeneous fuel gas-air mixture prior to combustion so as to effect a substantially stoichiometric burning of the fuel so as to result in a high velocity and a very high flame temperature (approx. 4100 DEG F.) and to cause the breakdown of a portion of the hydrocarbons into their basic component elements so as to make them available for diffusion burning. A small percentage or air is thereafter introduced tangentially into the burner flame to create the diffusion burning of the free hydrogen and carbon generated by the combustion process to produce a hot luminous optimum flame pattern and to maintain the high surface velocity so as to attain maximum transfer of heat energy to the heat transfer surfaces of the boiler by both radiation and conduction.
