BURNER FOR A COOKING APPARATUS

摘要

The burner (14) for a cooking apparatus (10) comprises a combustion chamber (60) bottomed with a diffuser plate (62), the diffuser plate (62) having openings (68) therethrough. An air-receiving chamber (70) in fluid communication with the combustion chamber (60) via the diffuser plate (62) is provided. The air-receiving chamber (70) has an air inlet (72) for connection with an air pump means (74) for forcing air through the openings (68) of the diffuser plate (62) so as to cause the air to exit on the upper surface thereof in the form of small jets of a given velocity. The burner (14) is characterized in that it further comprises a dynamic air chamber (80) topped with the diffuser plate (62). The dynamic air chamber (80) has a bottom wall (82) provided with a funnel-shaped inlet (79) in communication with the air-receiving chamber (70) for receiving an air flow of a given velocity from the air-receiving chamber (70) and increasing said velocity to thereby create an air turbulence zone below the diffuser plate (62). The burner (14) provides dynamic combustion at low pressure and therefore consumes less energy than prior art burners.
