Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a combustor assembly, in particular for a vehicle heater, comprising a combustion chamber housing, in which through a combustion chamber outer wall a combustion chamber is limited, the combustion chamber having a combustion chamber outlet opening has to exit exhaust gases generated during combustion to a Flame tube.
  • FIG. 1 Such a combustion chamber assembly, as they are used in general used in vehicle heaters or auxiliary heaters Heaters is shown in FIG. 1.
  • Known assembly 10s includes a combustor housing 12s that with an approximately cylindrical outer wall 14s Combustion chamber 16s limited radially outwards. From a floor area 18s of the combustion chamber housing 12s extends coaxially to the outer wall 14s and with respect to a longitudinal axis A of the combustion chamber assembly 10s an approximately cylindrical inner wall 20s, which by a Termination area 22s is axially completed.
  • the outer wall 14s and the inner wall 20s thus approximately define a combustion chamber 16s ring-like shape in the area of a corresponding ring-shaped Exit opening 24s axially towards the combustion chamber housing 12s subsequent flame tube 26s is open.
  • Several air inlet openings 28s are provided through 20s which passes the combustion air required for combustion into the Combustion chamber 16s also under the promotional effect of a not shown Blower can get.
  • an inner side 30s of the outer wall facing the combustion chamber 14s is one made, for example, of nonwoven material or other porous material Material formed liner 32s provided. Also on the inner wall 20s can be on the side facing the combustion chamber 16s Page 34s is a lining 36s formed from knitted metal for sound insulation reasons be provided. Via a fuel supply line 39s the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber 16s, for example can be done by an atomizer nozzle, not shown, or also by introduction, for example, into the lining 30s using an evaporation effect.
  • an igniter not shown, for example a glow plug, which at the beginning of an operating phase ensures that the by atomization or evaporation ignited fuel entered the combustion chamber 16s and thus the combustion begins.
  • the burning in the Combustion chamber 16s produced exhaust gases or the combustion flame emerge from the combustion chamber housing in the region of the outlet opening 24s 12s and flow through a central one, as indicated by arrows Opening 38s in the flame tube 26s of the outlet opening 24s of the combustion chamber housing 12s opposite exhaust gas aperture 40s therethrough.
  • Heaters is a comparatively strong one in the axial direction There is a temperature gradient.
  • the temperature in the area of the flame tube is comparatively high, while the temperature in the range of Combustion chamber housing is comparatively small.
  • Even the one on the outside of the flue gas, if any, returned exhaust gases are already ready cooled that they cause substantial heating of the combustion chamber housing can no longer contribute.
  • the start phase i.e. the phase until the required Rated power, be very long.
  • a Combustion chamber assembly in particular for a vehicle heater, comprising a combustion chamber housing in which through a combustion chamber outer wall a combustion chamber is limited, the combustion chamber being a Combustion chamber outlet opening has the outlet for combustion generated exhaust gases to a flame tube.
  • This combustor assembly is characterized by a deflection arrangement for deflecting at least a partial flow of the exhaust gases leaving the combustion chamber to flow along at least a portion of that facing away from the combustion chamber lying outside of the combustion chamber outer wall in front of the Entry into the flame tube.
  • the present invention thus uses at least part of the combustion generated and therefore very hot exhaust gases to these immediately when leaving the combustion chamber housing and before entering to lead the flame tube into an area in which they are essential Heating of the combustion chamber housing can contribute. This leads to a significant reduction in the amount of soot produced during combustion and accordingly also a significant reduction in the Deposits occurring in the combustion chamber.
  • Heating the Combustion chamber assembly is also ensured that the Starting phase can be shortened, because from the beginning the focus on the combustion spreading entire combustion chamber at higher temperature will expire.
  • the deflection arrangement is one of the Combustion chamber outlet opening opposite baffle.
  • the baffle plate be fitted with a Panel outer wall of the combustion chamber housing at least in some areas overlaps.
  • the heating of the combustion chamber housing produced according to the present invention generally does not require that the whole at Exhaust gases produced by combustion are used to transfer heat to get to the combustion chamber housing. It is therefore suggested that the baffle in a diaphragm front wall has a passage opening which faces the combustion chamber outlet opening is positioned horizontally and preferably has a smaller dimension, than the combustion chamber outlet. That way ensures that only a partial flow of the combustion chamber outlet opening outflowing exhaust gases redirected to utilize their heat is, while another part of the incineration Exhaust gases flow directly into the flame tube.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment in terms of flow technology provides that the baffle with a truncated cone Form is formed and that the combustion chamber housing in the deflector intervenes. It can further be provided that between the deflector and the flame tube in the direction of the deflected exhaust gas flow a flow channel region leading a flame tube outlet opening is.
  • This flow channel area has a throttle function, so that by specifying the flow cross section in this area too taking into account the previously described and by the in the flame tube direct mainstream generated negative pressure Flow rate of those contributing to the combustion chamber heating Exhaust gases can be adjusted.
  • the present invention further relates to a heater, especially for a Vehicle, in which heater a combustion chamber assembly according to the invention is provided.
  • the combustion chamber assembly 10 according to the invention shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to the preceding in terms of essential design features already discussed in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and from the Combustion chamber assembly known in the art. So does the Combustion chamber assembly 10 according to the invention a combustion chamber housing 12 with an outer wall 14 and an inner wall 20, the define an approximately annular combustion chamber 16 between them. This is axially open via the combustion chamber outlet opening 24. At the the inside of the outer wall 14 facing the combustion chamber 16 the liner 32 is provided. In a corresponding way is also on the Inner wall 20 in turn has the lining 36.
  • the exhaust gas orifice 40 forms in the combustion chamber assembly according to the invention 10 shows a deflection arrangement, generally designated 50. you recognizes that also with this exhaust diaphragm 40 a central, to the longitudinal axis A approximately concentric opening 38 is present, the Outside dimension, for example diameter, is smaller than that corresponding outer dimension of the combustion chamber 16, this outer dimension is essentially predetermined by the outer wall 14 or the lining 32.
  • the exhaust diaphragm 40 has a radially outer side adjacent to its end wall opposite the outlet opening 24 52 an outer wall 54.
  • the outer wall 54 and the End wall 52 together form essentially a truncated cone Pot shape, whereby, as can be seen in Fig.
  • the outer wall 54 is dimensioned such that it is larger Dimension, for example again diameter, than that Outer wall 14 of the combustion chamber housing 12.
  • the exhaust orifice 40 is positioned such that they axially partially surround the combustion chamber housing 12 overlaps.
  • annular flow space 56 is formed, through which at least a part of the striking the end wall 52 and thus through this End wall 52 and also the outer wall 54 deflected exhaust gases will flow.
  • the directly through the passage opening 38 in the flame tube 26 entering partial flow of gases or exhaust gases generated in such Arrangement therefore a negative pressure in the radially outer area, i.e. also in the area in which the flow channel area 60 then in the remaining part of the flame tube 26 opens.
  • This negative pressure is in the Also largely responsible for ensuring that the exhaust gas orifice 40 impinging gases at least partially redirected radially outwards and thus into the spatial area 56 on the outside 44 of the outer wall 14 reach.
  • the exhaust gas orifice 40 therefore has the essential function of Flow path for the deflected and above all due to negative pressure to specify extracted exhaust gases and thus to ensure that the outside 44 flows around the outer wall 14 to the desired extent and is therefore heated.
  • the configuration of the combustion chamber assembly 10 according to the invention is achieved that part of the combustion chamber with very high temperature 16 leaving exhaust gases immediately, ie before entering the flame tube 26, used to at least part of the combustion generated heat to the combustion chamber housing 12 itself transfer. Tests have shown that this increases the temperature of the combustion chamber housing 12, in particular in the area of the floor 18 can be obtained at around 280 ° C, so the temperature in this Range reached values between 400 ° C and 500 ° C very quickly. It in addition to quickly reaching high temperatures achieves significantly more uniform temperature distribution, which has the consequence that the start phase when igniting and until ramping up to the required Rated power can be significantly reduced.
  • the principle of the invention is furthermore essentially independent of the fuel used, since the temperatures generated in the combustion chamber area above the boiling temperatures the one for such combustion chambers or these Fuels used, e.g. Diesel or heating oil.
  • Fuels used e.g. Diesel or heating oil.
  • a clear one can also Reduction of the soot generated during combustion and the in the area of the walls delimiting the combustion chamber Deposits can be reached.
