BURNER-BOILER COMBINATION AND IMPROVED BURNER CONSTRUCTION THEREFOR

摘要

A BURNER - BOILER COMBINATION AND AN IMPROVED BURNER AND METHOD OF COMBUSTION THEREFORE 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 misture prior to combustion so as to effect a ? substantially stocihometric burning of the fuel so as to ? result in a high velocity and a very high flame temperature (approx. 4100.degree. 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 of 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. ?
