Definitions

  • This invention relates to solid fuel heating devices, such as stoves.
  • Solid fuel heating stoves have been in common use for many hundreds of years.
  • a common arrangement for a stove is to have a primary air control, and also a secondary air control, which is adjustable to control the burn speed of the appliance.
  • baffle or deflector, plate in the region of the top of the fire box which serves to deflect rising air and prevent it from flowing directly to the exhaust outlet from the stove.
  • a deflector plate may well cause rising air to circulate back within the fire box. This circulation keeps the air, and its associated smoke particles, in the hot region of the fire box for longer and allows more of the smoke to be burned off. Furthermore, mixing the smoke laden air more thoroughly also encourages fuller burning.
  • US 4 316 444 discloses a stove that has a horizontal flat hollow baffle which provides an air supply, the baffle having horizontally directed holes to provide a horizontal air supply at the top of the fire box of the stove.
  • the baffle is removable from inside the stove by undoing bolts provided inside the fire box.
  • An aim of the present invention is to provide a heating device with a new baffle or deflector member.
  • a heating device having a fire box and a deflector or baffle member adapted to deflect air rising in the fire box, in which the deflector member is provided with a first air inlet coupling, and a wall of the fire box with a second, complementary, coupling, the first and second complementary couplings being releasably engaged so as to co-operate in providing an air inlet passageway from outside of the device to the deflector member, characterised in that the deflector member provides a downwardly directed air supply to the fire box and is releasably mounted adjacent the external wall of the fire box, the deflector member having a tubular pipe which projects through the external wall of the fire box and co-operates with a clamp member to hold the deflector member to the external wall.
  • the deflector member preferably has an air outlet aperture which is non-round.
  • the air outlet aperture is preferably generally elliptical.
  • the deflector member is preferably a separate component.
  • the deflector member preferably has an air inlet projection which defines an air inlet passage and which extends to or beyond the external wall of the fire box.
  • the air inlet projection preferably extends through the wall of the appliance and beyond.
  • the deflector member may have a female air inlet connector and the wall of the appliance a male inlet air connector.
  • the deflector member preferably provides an uncontrolled air supply to the fire box. There may be one, or two, or further air supplies in addition to the air supply of the deflector member.
  • the deflector member preferably has a generally downwardly facing surface provided with an air outlet.
  • the surface is preferably provided with a plurality of air outlets.
  • a line of air outlets at the front lip of the deflector member is believed to encourage tumbling circulation of air in the fire box. This encourages more complete combustion.
  • Each surface may have an air outlet, or outlets.
  • An air outlet, or outlets may be provided at the angle where the two surfaces meet. This is believed to encourage full combustion.
  • the deflector member has an air supply inlet and a plurality of air supply outlets adapted to supply air to the fire box of the heating appliance.
  • the deflector member preferably has an air chamber or passage and a plurality of air outlets from the air chamber or passage.
  • the chamber preferably defines a substantial part of the volume of the deflector member, and preferably substantially all of the volume of the deflector member.
  • At least one or more of the air outlets may be non-round. There may be at least five outlets and preferably at least ten outlets.
  • the deflector member may be installed at an upper region of a fire box, the deflector member having an air inlet, and an air outlet aperture, and a fold line about which it is folded, the air outlet being near or on the fold line.
  • the deflector member has a generally oval, cylindrical, or non-round air outlet aperture.
  • the deflector member may have an air outlet aperture which has a varying cross section.
  • the air outlet narrows in cross-sectional area in the direction towards the interior of the fire box.
  • the deflector member may have a downwardly projecting lip at or towards its forward end.
  • the air which flows out of the deflector into the fire box may create an air buffer or air dam between the deflector and the air which is already in the fire box. It is believed that such an air buffer keeps some hot fire box gases and combustion products away from the surface of the deflector and thus increases its lifetime. It is also believed that the flow of cooler air through the deflector (relative to the fire box gases) may also increase the lifetime of the deflector.
  • the deflector is of such a size that it can be removed through the door of the stove.
  • a stove may be provided with a removable or displaceable top, for example, a lift-off top, such that the deflector member can be removed and replaced easily via the top of the stove.
  • Figure 1 shows a multi-fuel stove having a fire box 1, an ash chamber 2 having an ash pan 3, a grate 4, a primary air inlet 5 a door 6, and exhaust outlet 7, and a deflector plate 8 (sometimes called a baffle, or throat plate) resting on refractory bricks 9 which form a back and side walls to the fire box.
  • a deflector plate 8 sometimes called a baffle, or throat plate
  • Figure 2 shows a multi-fuel stove which is in many ways similar to that of Figure 1, except that it has an improved deflector plate, referenced 10.
  • the deflector plate 10 is another air supply to the fire box and is perhaps better called a deflector member since it has an internal structure.
  • the deflector member 10 is perhaps best shown in Figure 6 and comprises a generally rectangular metal box having an internal pre-heating air chamber 11, two air inlets, comprising pipes 12, and a lot of air outlets 13 provided in the lower face of the deflector member 10.
  • the deflector member is made from a bottom sheet 14 welded to an upper sheet 15 at welds 16.
  • Side panels 17 are also welded to the upper and lower sheets. It will be noted that the welds 16 are V-shaped, or rightangled, meetings between the upper ,and lower sheets. The panels of the upper and lower sheets extend generally parallel to each other when the deflector member is assembled.
  • the upper and lower sheets 14 and 15 each have a fold line 18 and 19.
  • a row of air outlets 13 is provided on the fold line 19.
  • the holes 13 which are to be on the fold line 19 are made in the sheet metal of the bottom sheet 14, and then the bottom sheet 14 is folded about the fold line 19. This means that the holes on the fold line, which were originally circular, are non-circular after folding. When looked at in plan view they are generally elliptical after folding. Figure 7 shows that another effect of folding on the line of the holes is that they have a generally conical cross section.
  • the front edge region of the upper sheet 15 projects below the bottom surface of the bottom sheet 14 and provides a depending lip 20.
  • the inlet pipes 12 each have an associated mounting flange 21 extending from them. Only one of the flanges 21 is shown (in chain dotted outline) in Figure 6, and they can be best seen in Figure 5.
  • the lower sheet 14 also has a flange 22 extending along the rearward part of the deflector member.
  • the stove has a back wall 23 which has a pair of apertures 24 adapted to receive the pipes 12.
  • the pipe 12 extend through the apertures 24 and communicate with an external air supply 25.
  • a pair of sealing washer 26, shown in Figure 5 seal the apertures 24 to prevent unwanted air flow through them (they seal in combination with the flange 21).
  • a nut or other clamp member is provided to act on the protruding part of the pipes of the inlets 12 and clamp the flanges 21 to the inner surface of the back wall 23 (with the washers 26 sealed between the flanges 21 and the wall 23).
  • the additional air supply provided by the deflector plate means that there is more fresh air in the fire box and so better combustion takes place.
  • jets of air referenced 30, 31 and 32
  • these jets of air encourage turbulent mixing of air in the fire box, rather than a more organised circulation of air which is-what happened in the prior art.
  • the small size of the air inlets 13 mean that there is quite a strong jet of air coming from them.
  • the holes 13 on the fold line 19 produce a particularly strong jet of air. These are the deformed holes which have a non-round cross section, and which are generally conically tapered. We have found that this produces a spiralling, rifling effect, and the iet of air from these holes extends some considerable distance into the fire box and causes very disorganised, chaotic burning. Indeed, the burning with the present invention could almost be said to be violent.
  • the independent air supply from the deflector plate mixes the air in the fire box and encourages a cleaner, and hotter burn.
  • the lip 20 also causes additional turbulence and additional mixing. It may encourage the tumbling rolling of a body of air in the fire box, or it may not.
  • the deflector member 10 is especially adapted to be easily removed and replaced.
  • the member simply rests on the fire bricks 9 on the back wall, and the fire bricks of side walls (not shown).
  • the deflector, baffle, plate is of such a size that it can be removed through the door of the stove.
  • the stove may have a lift-off top which can be removed to allow easy maintenance or replacement of the deflector member.
  • the holes down the side regions of the deflector member disturb the air in the side regions of the stove. This air is usually rather more stagnant than that of the centre of the stove. Similarly, the air holes at the rear region of the deflector member disturb the air at the rear of the fire box. Thus air flows from the chamber 11 through the air outlets 13 and mixes with the combustion gases high in the fire box promoting thorough combustion and reducing smoke emissions.
  • the deflector member of the present invention is a simple matter to fit the deflector member of the present invention to an existing stove, such as that shown in Figure 1. All that will be required is for the holes 24 to be drilled in the stove and the old deflector plate replaced by the new deflector member 10. This is a simple operation. It will also be appreciated that the deflector member is a self contained unit. This facilitates maintenance and installation.
  • air inlets 13 need not be roughly circular, but could be square, or slots or any shape.
  • the air Since the chamber 11 is of very much larger volume than the size of the holes 13 the air has sufficient time to be pre-heated to a high temperature.
  • the fact that there are a large number of holes 13 means that the air in the fire box is well supplied with additional air and aggetated over a substantial area. Having holes in the plan area of the undersurface of the deflector member means that the air centre region of the fire box is disturbed, mixed, in the jets of air.
  • the stove may have an airwash system providing a flow of pre-heated air over the internal face of the door of the stove.
  • the airwash system may be as described in GB 2 251 302.
  • the air supply to the deflector member coming from the surrounding room.
  • the air flow from the deflector member is described as being independent of the air controls on the stove there may be occasions where it is desirable to have this air supply controllable by the user, or connected to other air controls of the stove. It may have its own air control, or it may be operated by an air control that also controls another air supply (for example the main updraft air supply, or an airwash air supply).
