BURN~R HEAD
Field of Invention The present invention relates to a novel burner head for use with apparatus employed in the conversion of oil fired heating furnaces to natural gas or propane fired furnaces where the oil burner head is replaced by a burner head assembly adapted to burn natural gas.
In particular the invention herein disclosed provides a burner head assembly for use in domestic gas power burners which develops a short self contained flame and which incorporates the standard oil burner housing to carry a volume of high velocity air to become the combus-tion air stream necessary to allow a gas burner to maintain a stable flame while discharging combustion by-products at adequate rates.
Background of the Invention There is a present demand for devices and means for converting furnaces using oil for combustion heat to ones capable of using gas.
It is common in the domestic marketplace to replace a whole furnace when it is desired to convert to gas from oil as the source of fuel.
There is a need for a gas burner that can be used in the combustion chamber of an oil furnace. Such a burner must be capable of creating a self controlled flame and must have fan and motor means of sufficient capacity to create a velocity of air to maintain a stable flame.
The oil to gas conversion burners now known are fan assisted type burners. Fan assisted burners have combustion air supplied by a fan or blower of sufficient force pressure to overcome the burner resistance only and the flame produced at the burner head is of a long laminar shape. A long laminar flame cannot be properly contained in the combust-ion chambers of the commonly used domestic oil fired furnaces. The long flames created by the commonly used gas burners causes the heat exchan-gers to readily burn out in oil furnaces since they have been designed to contain the bushy flames common to oil burners.

Background of the Invention There is a present demand for devices and means for converting furnaces using oil for combustion heat to ones capable of using gas.
It is common in the domestic marketplace to replace a whole furnace when it is desired to convert to gas from oil as the source of fuel.
There is a need for a gas burner that can be used in the combustion chamber of an oil furnace. Such a burner must be capable of creating a self controlled flame and must have fan and motor means of sufficient capacity to create a velocity of air to maintain a stable flame.
The oil to gas conversion burners now known are fan assisted type burners. Fan assisted burners have combustion air supplied by a fan or blower of sufficient force pressure to overcome the burner resistance only and the flame produced at the burner head is of a long laminar shape. A long laminar flame cannot be properly contained in the combust-ion chambers of the commonly used domestic oil fired furnaces. The long flames created by the commonly used gas burners causes the heat exchan-gers to readily burn out in oil furnaces since they have been designed to contain the bushy flames common to oil burners.
-2-1:1356~6 Gas burner manufacturers have made various types of flame spreader devices for attachment to gas burner heads to maintain the gas flame within the oil furnace combustion chamber and thereby to protect tne furnace heat exchangers, but it is known that the devices developed to date fail from thermal fatigue after short usage and are not therefore, acceptable in the domestic burner market.
Another disadvatage of fan assisted burners is that they will not function in an appliance that has restrictions such as baffles or revertable flues. Known burners cannot achieve the pressure required to move the combustion by-products through the appliance and at the same time maintain acceptable by-product levels. Attempts at increas-ing the fan capacity to meet the required pressure levels have merely resulted in creating an unstable flame.
Object of the Invention It is the principal object of the invention to provide an oil furnace combustion chamber with a burner head capable of burning natur-al gas or propane gas with a short bushy flame while maintaining a high velocity stream of exit combustion by-products.
- Summary of the Invention It is known that gaseous infusion flames are not commonly used in furnaces for heating whereas pre-mixed air and fuel are common.
Gaseous infusion burning methods are known to create flame instability and give unacceptable levels of carbon monoxide. The applicants herein have found that stabilization of the flame can be achieved by creating areas of low air and gas velocities at the point in the combustion head where the fuel and the oxidizer are brought together and maintained in the proper proportion for the reaction of combustion.
The following described structure has achieved the desired result.
The flame retention head for a gas burner herein, consists of a turbostatic means set in the air passageway of the burner and spaced across the path of travel of the flow of air driven into the air passageway. The turbostatic means is close to the end of the gas duct which leads axially through the passageway for the air and terminates with the passageway within the combustion chamber of the furnace.
The burner head comprises a pair of flame stabilizer discs fixed across and to the end of the gas conduit. The outer facing disc blocks the end of the gas conduit and is of smaller diameter than the inner disc. The discs are spaced apart sufficiently close only to accomadate a portion of the end of the gas conduit having a plurality of upwardly facing ports enclosed therebetween.
Co-axial apertures are bored through each disc in concentric array with the gas conduit ports- centred about the rows of apertllres thus formed. The natural gas fuel is introduced to the head from the ports between the discs of the head and enters the head radially of the discs.
High velocity oxidation material such as air is introduced to the head from the air passageway which terminates behind the inner disc. There is a space between the end of the outer wall of the passage for the air and the edges of the discs thereby allowing air to flow past and around the head. Some of the air passes through the apertures in the inner disc and mixes there with the gas emerging from the conduit ports and then pass through the apertures in the outer disc mixed ~ogether and with low turbulent velocities where it is readily ignited. The partial pre-mixing of the air and gas at the central front region of the head ensures the existence of a stoichiometric mixture there during operation of the burner and the low velocity of the mixture in the front of the head ensures a continuous flame stability for the device.
Only a fraction of the gas is pre-mixed and carried through the apertures in the front disc. Most of the gas reaches the periphery of the front disc by the apertures in an unmixed state and is there mixed with the air coming through the outer row of apertures in the inner disc which open directly into the space forward of the head.The larger _nner disc also serves as a bluff obstacle preventing blowoff and also serves to create an inner reverse flow in the region directly in front of the burner. The gas-air mixture made at the front of the head by the flow of air from the peripheral sides of the burner and discs is readily ignited by the constantly stabilized portion of the mixture forming in the centre region of the outer disc.
The high velocity of the air emerging from between the rear disc and the wall of the air passageway, which has been turbulated by the turbo-static disc, shapes and constrains the flame from bushing out.
In addition the air leaving the space between the discs and the air passage becomes a source of secondary air for serving to be carried by the combustion reaction into and toward the combustion zone constantly stabilized in the centre region of the outer disc.
In The Drawings With the foregoing object in view and such other objects that become apparent from consideration of this disclosure, the present invention consists of the inventive concept which is comprised, embodied and included in the construction, method and combination of parts herein exemplified reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like parts.

1135~16 Construction and O~peration of the_lnvention The following dimensions have been found to be preferred for a burner head used in a flame retention gas burner design incorporating a com-mon oil burner housing.
The head consists of two (2) eighteen gauge (18G) stainless steel discswhich are separated from each other by from 1/16 inches to 1/4 inches.
The smaller outer disc is of three inch (3") diameter and is truncated approximately one inch (1") below the center. At the center of the disc, there is a one inch (I") diameter embossment approximately 1/8 inches deep.
There are three (3) rows of concentric holes approximately of 1/8 inch diameter bo~ed in the outer disc. The first row (12 holes) is pierced every thirty degrees (30) starting at the twelve o'clock position at a radius of 5/8 inches. The second row (21 holes) is pierced in a like manner every fifteen degrees (15) at a radius of 15/16inches. The third row (14 holes~ is pierced in a like manner every fifteen degrees (15) at a radius of 1-5/16 inches starting at fifteen degrees (15) from the twelve o'clock position but omitting the twelve o'clock position. Symmetry exists about the twelve o'clock position.
At a radius of 1-1/4 inches, three (3) holes of 1/8 inches diameter arepierced every one hundred and twenty degrees (120) starting at the twelve o'clock position (mounting holes).
The larger inner disc is a doughnut-like configuration of 3-5/8 inches outer diameter and approximate1y 7/8 inches inner diameter, and it also is truncated one inch (1") below the center.
There are four (4) rows of concentric holes bored in Lh~ innLr disc, each hole having approximately 1/16 to 1/8 inches diameter.
The first row (12 holes) ~s pierced every thlrty degrees (30) startingat the twelve o'clock position at a radius of 5/8 inches. The second row (21 holes) is pierced in like manner every fifteen degrees (15) at a radius of 15~16 inches. The third row (14 holes) is pierced every fifteen degrees (15) at a radius of 1-5/16 inches starting at fifteen degrees (15) from the twelve o'clock position but omitting the twelve o'clock position. The fourth row (77 holes) is pierced every fifteen degrees (15) starting at the twelve o'clock position at a radius of 1-21/32 inches. Symmetry exists about the twelve o'clock position.
At a radius of 1-1/4 inches, three (3) holes of 1/8 inches diameter arepierced every one hundred and twenty degrees (120) starting at the twelve o'clock position. These holes are subsequently extruded to a height of from 1/16 to 1/4 inches, thus forming the necessary spacing between the smaller outer disc and the inner larger disc.
The turbo-static disc, a partially vaned configuration of 3-3/8 inches diameter, is attached at the truncated portion of the inner disc at the bottom of the air tube approximately one inch (I") behind the inner disc.
~13S616 With the above dimensioned burner head, gas is fed to the head under pressure from three to six inches of water column (3" to 6" W.C.) by means of a conduit of a?proximately 7/8 inches outer diameter and 1/2 inches inner diameter (nominal 1/2" black pipe, Schedule 40).
Gas is introduced at regular intervals in the radial direction be-tween the two (2) discs. The gas conduit is from 7-11/16 inches to 13-11~16 inches long. There are seven (7) holes, each from 1/16 inches to 3/16 inches diameter pierced every thirty degrees (30) starting at the twe]ve o'clock position at a distance of 3/16 inches to 5/16 inches from the open end of the conduit to the centreline of the holes.
