Definitions

  • the invention relates to a burner for liquid fuels and more particularly still, a self-cleaning combustion head with integral combustion.
  • the liquid fuel is atomized by means of a nozzle, then mixed with air in a combustion head, before burning in a yellowish flame.
  • a system based on this technique requires, for the combustion to be good, that the flame occurs in a sufficiently large space, so that all the particles of atomized fuel have time to burn.
  • the hearth where this form of combustion occurs is too small, the non-consumed liquid particles are projected onto the walls which, at too low a temperature, cause condensation and some pollution (soot, tar, etc.); it follows that the combustion efficiency and the heat exchange coefficient of the exchanger decrease by the insulation caused by the soot film which is interposed between the flame and the wall of the hearth.
  • the minimum flow rate of the sprinklers is limited.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to reduce the volume of the combustion gases, thereby allowing the dimensions of the exchanger of the heating apparatus, and in particular of the hearth, to be reduced. Indeed, combustion in the presence of a blue flame, at very high temperature, as caused by the apparatus described in the present invention, makes it possible to reduce the combustion chamber by at least 90% and therefore to reduce the weight and therefore the cost price of the devices in a high proportion.
  • Another object of the invention is to allow perfect combustion of a liquid fuel, whatever the desired power, very low (less than 1 liter per hour) or very high (several tens of liters per hour), without the presence spray members, such as a sprinkler.
  • such combustion for example in the form of an absolutely blue flame, depending on the type of fuel used, avoids any pollution of the atmosphere.
  • American patent 1 668 773 shows a burner provided with an inverted and closed bell-shaped vaporization chamber which communicates with a mixing chamber through a distribution chamber.
  • the fuel is vaporized then mixes with combustion air and burns.
  • This device has significant drawbacks and in particular poor vaporization of the fuel.
  • the mixing chamber has a shape and means for draining the non-vaporized fuel while there is even provided a device for adjusting the supply controlled by non-vaporized fuel.
  • French patent 530 058 shows a complex device in which the gasification of oils is produced by spreading in a thin layer obtained by means of an air stream.
  • a first phase it involves performing a gasification or vaporization of the liquid fuel, away from the flame. Then, in a second phase, it is imperative to mix the vaporized fuel with an oxidizer such as air, in a special chamber and still sheltered from the flame, so as to obtain a stoichiometric mixture. Finally, in a third phase, the mixture thus obtained is burned in an appropriate zone, separate from the vaporization and mixing zones.
  • an oxidizer such as air
  • the film spraying makes it possible, in fact, to avoid any contact between the wall of the spraying element and the liquid to be vaporized, which avoids any possible fouling of this element, while carbonization by pyrolysis, which consists in bringing to high temperature certain parts of the burner, eliminates particularly dense and fatty, non-vaporizable elements.
  • the film vaporization is in fact a caléfaction, maintained in an appropriate device, if we consider that the caléfaction is the physical process of vaporization of a drop of liquid, by a wall, at high temperature, this drop not being in contact with said wall, as a result of the existence of a vapor film, emitted from the drop itself, under the effect of the thermal energy transmitted by the wall.
  • the inventor proposes a burner for liquid fuels provided with a hollow vaporization element, a means of initiating combustion, a means of pre- heating for starting, of a mixing chamber which communicates with the vaporization element and which also receives an oxidizer, of a combustion grate or flame holder and whose arrangement of the vaporization element is such that the combustion flame heats the latter, remarkable in that the vaporizing element is formed by an open tubular duct or duct, in the form of a serpentine in a fixed body and in which is conveyed, by an oxidizing vector fluid or not, the liquid fuel, said channel or conduit opening directly or indirectly into the mixing chamber while the preheating means is formed by an electrical resistance integrated in the body and the shape of the latter is such that the fl combustion core licks said body in part.
  • the liquid fuel feeds the burner through an intake pipe, opening at the entrance of the channel or vaporization duct, while the carrier fluid, in the form of gas, or air
  • Such a device makes it possible in particular to obtain a film vaporization and a carbonization of the fatty elements, by pyrolysis, thereby avoiding any risk of fouling.
  • the above-mentioned fixed combustion head has very advantageous mechanical reliability, in particular in the case of use in low-power domestic appliances.
  • a burner according to the invention makes it possible to equip boilers and generators, the design of which is particularly studied to receive a blue flame, at high temperature.
  • the conduit in which the fuel is conveyed consists of a tubular coil embedded, for example by overmolding, in the body of the burner.
  • the mixing chamber preferably consists, at least in part, of the body, in such a way that it is continuously heated during combustion.
  • a reversing contact thermostat may be provided to shut down the starting heating means at the desired temperature, for example in the form of a heating resistance, and on the one hand to cause the arrival of the liquid fuel and the carrier agent.
  • the actuation of the combustion initiation means for example in the form of an electrode, controlled by means of a regulation box and a transformer .
  • the body may have a substantially annular shape, preferably flared towards the outside, while a combustion grate or flame holder is arranged in the central part, so that the flame has a central position and licks said body by the interior.

  • a final mixing chamber is arranged between the combustion grate or flame holder and the mixing chamber, by means of a separator constituted by a plate, provided with a central duct which plunges into the mixing chamber.
  • the mixing chamber has a central oxidant inlet orifice, arranged in the lower wall thereof and provided with a flange with converging walls directed towards the separator duct and substantially coaxially, said conduit having a divergent shape or walls.
  • the body provided with the channel or vaporization duct has a frustoconical shape
  • the mixing chamber is formed by an interior recess of the body and that said channel, constituted by a tubular coil is arranged in helix in said body around the recess and communicates with the latter, the combustion grate being arranged around the lower part of the body, while an annular chamber of final mixture is provided under the combustion grate and communicates with the chamber mixture.
  • a casing is fixed under the mixing chamber and has an orifice, for letting pass the intake pipe of the liquid fuel, an orifice for the carrier and an orifice for the oxidant, thus constituting room.
  • the carrier agent and the oxidizer are air, a single orifice in the casing then being provided for this air, which goes partly into the vaporization duct and partly into the mixing chamber.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to use another vector agent, as has already been said, the mixing with the oxidizing air taking place in the chamber provided for this purpose.
  • the new burners for liquid fuel according to the invention will also be able to equip a new generation of heating appliances.
  • heat exchangers and heat pumps having a liquid fuel as supplementary energy, instead of electricity.
  • small domestic heaters operating by suction cup, thus avoiding the traditional chimney, since the combustion gases can be directly discharged into the atmosphere.
