Description

High-efficiency evaporation torch valve
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the valve gear of torch, more particularly, relate to the valve module and the method that are used for promoting high-efficiency evaporating through the fluid flow of control valve.
Background technology
Various hand-held torch adopt butane-propane mixture as the work fuel source.This mixture generally contains about 70% to about 60% butane and about 30% to about 40% propane.Another kind of fuel commonly used is MAPP gas (mixture of allylene-allene, 1,3-butadiene, N-butane, isobutene and propane).Butane-propane fuel mixture has the propane of being significantly higher than; (42 ℃/-44
Figure 041025289_0
) or MAPP gas; (40 ℃/-40 ) boiling point.For example, 60/40 butane/propane mixture is-29 ℃ of boilings, and 70/30 butane/propane mixture is-25 ℃ of boilings.This user that can give the torch of butane-propane fuel mixture work brings problem.Specifically, higher boiling point possibly cause the not danger of evaporated fuel burning.
Fuel mixture generally is stored in the jar under the sufficiently high pressure that fuel is existed with liquid state.Jar is connected in the combustion chamber of torch equipment by the valve of a control fuel flow rate.For torch is worked best, fuel must at first seethe with excitement and evaporate-and be gaseous state from liquid transformation, could burn equably.When torch was worked with inverted position, butane-propane fuel mixture higher boiling point can cause problem.On the position of reversing, the pressure that increases of the liquid fuel in the jar of hand-held torch forces fuel fast through valve, thereby makes fuel not have time enough and energy evaporation.This causes liquid-gas mixture to enter the combustion chamber from valve, produces fireball.This result is called flaring, and this user to the hand-held torch can bring potential serious safety hazard.In addition, flaring possibly make the fray-out of flame of torch, and the torch user is lost time.
Use the hand-held torch of butane-propane mixture to be usually used in the pipeline engineering.In this application, the user works in narrow and small structure is surrounded usually, and must frequent reversing torch.Therefore, the danger of flaring possibly cause frequent, potential harm to user and near combustible material.
Existing people proposed to solve the plurality of proposals of flaring problem.The method in a kind of past is used and is installed on the fuel pressure regulator on the tanks.In case torch member in use temperature raises, help evaporation from the heat of member.The torch user can fuel metering pressure, thereby reduce the fuel quantity that can flow into the torch combustion chamber.But this method has several defectives: (1) pressure regulator is at 15.5 ℃ (60 ) or following temperature protection is not provided to flaring; (2) in order to make the torch member heat up to such an extent that fuel is fully evaporated, need time, could reverse torch; (3) when fuel pressure reduces, combustion rate reduces, thereby cold fuel can be passed through, thereby the torch member is turned cold.The shortage of heat that forms like this can reduce evaporation efficiency, unevaporated liquid fuel is passed through, thereby cause flaring.
The method of another prior art is to make fuel flow through a tubule, this tubule in the flame of torch or near pass through, thereby just flow into the combustion chamber after fuel is heated.This method also has some serious defectives: serious fire or blast possibly take place if this pipe has damage or leaks in (1); (2) this fuel-turn tube apparatus is significantly more expensive than the traditional hand-held torch that is made up of fuel tank, valve and torch assembly basically; (3) user can reverse the intensification preparatory stage that must pass through at least one minute torch.
The method of another kind of prior art relates to a kind of chamber structure, and it makes significant heat can be transferred to other torch member.The heat that transmits through other torch member evaporates just the fuel that flows through hot member more fully can reach the combustion chamber.This method also has some defectives: (1) during operation, the additional heat of delivering to the torch member can influence the parts that contact with torch operator, the operator possibly burn; (2) this method also needs minimum one minute intensification time just can prevent flaring.
Therefore, need a kind ofly reliably prevent hand-held torch flaring and the apparatus and method of the time of need not heating up.
