Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a free standing burner for general burner use as well as to the design of a water heater or boiler for residential, commercial and industrial use which utilizes such an improved burner to supply heat to such devices.
  • Water heaters and boilers typically have a water heater tank, often of the vertical tube type which utilizes fire tubes located above a combustion chamber.
  • a number of the typical prior art gas, oil or gas/oil fired water heaters feature a non-pressurized, external combustion chamber which was typically located on the bottom exterior of the water heater.
  • Vertical shell or V-shell heat exchangers of the above type are well known in the industry.
  • typical water heater construction has provided for the flow of hot gas through a series of tubes mounted in vertical fashion between top and bottom transverse wall sections or support plates within the water heater tank.
  • the products of combustion from the combustion chamber pass vertically upward through the open interiors of the vertical tubes and out a flue outlet.
  • Water was circulated into and out of a chamber in the prior art devices located between the transverse wall sections. The water contacted and circulated about the exterior of the vertical tubes to effect heat transfer to heat the water.
  • a low pressure natural gas stream is being introduced into a forced draft air supply fed by a power blower at a higher pressure.
  • One function of the typical burner design is to introduce the flow of relatively lower pressure natural gas into the relatively higher pressure forced air stream, the gas mixture being passed through some sort of restriction or orifice.
  • water heaters and boilers form nitrogen oxides during combustion. Nitrogen oxide emissions are air pollutants. Various state and federal agencies regulate the amount of nitrogen oxides, or NO x , in vented gases. Tightening state and federal regulations for emissions requirements warrant the effort to find new ways to remove or prevent the formation of nitrogen oxides in combustion processes to avoid further harmful effects on the environment.
  • a need also exists for an improved vertical tube water heater design having vertical tube components and an improved burner which increase the overall efficiency of the apparatus in heating water.
  • a need exists for such an apparatus which is simple in design and relatively easy to manufacture.
  • the present invention concerns an inwardly firing burner design for general burner use on gas burner applications where benefit is obtained from firing directly into a heat exchanger without the need for a separate combustion chamber, where combustion is largely completed within the burner or where low NOx operation is desired.
  • the burner has an outer body assembly, the outer body having a transverse wall opening therein for communication with a blower, the outer body having an interior and one or more . end openings.
  • An inner chamber assembly is mounted within the interior of the burner outer body, the inner chamber having largely opposing sidewalls.
  • the inner chamber assembly forms a peripheral seal with respect to the openings of the outer body, thereby forming an open internal region which constitutes a combustion region for the burner and one or more end openings for exhausting the products of combustion.
  • the burner also includes an intermediate chamber assembly having sidewalls which allow the assembly to be positioned about the inner chamber and within the interior of the outer body.
  • the walls of the intermediate chamber assembly also have one or more openings which are located between the sealed region formed between the outer body and the inner chamber, whereby a distributed flow path is created for gases passing from the blower, between the interior of the outer body and the sidewalls of the inner chamber.
  • An igniter element is operatively associated with the outer body for igniting air and fuel supplied to the interior of the inner chamber to thereby produce products of combustion for heating.
  • the igniter element is at least one electrode mounted on the outer body assembly.
  • the sidewalls of the inner chamber which is mounted within the interior of the burner outer body, are formed of a heat resistant material.
  • Another distinguishing characteristic of the present burner design is the fact that the sidewalls of the inner chamber, which is mounted within the interior of the burner outer body, are in the majority facing inward, as will be explained more fully in the detailed description which follows.
  • the improved burner of the invention mixes air and gas in the presence of a flame to create products of combustion, and wherein the inwardly firing design of the burner contains a majority of the flame within the burner itself, thereby eliminating the need for a separate refractory lined combustion chamber.
  • the inwardly firing burner allows combustion to be established and largely completed within an envelope defined by the outer body of the burner itself, thereby resulting in a self-chambered burner design.
  • the burner of the present invention meets the previously described needs by providing a burner design for a water heater in which combustion is established and completed within the envelope of the burner itself.
  • a combustion chamber-less burner which is needed to complete combustion prior to the heat exchange tubes is eliminated.
  • the concept might also be expressed as providing a combustion chamber-less burner or a self-chambered burner.
  • a water heating tank is provided having generally cylindrical sidewalls with opposing closed ends which define a closed tank interior.
  • a plurality of fire tubes are located within the closed tank interior, each fire tube having an open interior for conducting products of combustion.
  • a blower/burner assembly is mounted at a selected one of the opposing tank ends for igniting a gas, oil, or gas/oil fuel mixture and producing products of combustion which travel within the open interiors of the fire tubes for heating water which surrounds the fire tubes within the tank interior.
  • a flue collector chamber is located on a selected end of the tank for collecting and exhausting the products of combustion from the fire tubes.
  • the burner which is used with the water heater tank is a specially designed burner which features the previously described inwardly firing design which eliminates the need for an external combustion chamber mounted on the exterior of the water heater tank, as in the prior art designs.
  • the inwardly firing design of the burner contains a majority of the flame within the burner itself, thereby eliminating the need for refractory materials and a separate refractory lined combustion chamber.
  • the inwardly firing burner when incorporated into an improved water heater or boiler design, allows combustion to be established and completed within an envelope defined by the outer body of the burner itself, thereby resulting in a combustion chamber-less or self-chambered burner design.
  • the burner of the burner/blower assembly of the invention has a cylindrical outer body, the outer body having a transverse wall opening therein for communication with the blower, the outer body having an interior and first and second oppositely arranged, end openings, the first end of the burner being mounted on the water heater tank in communication with the interior of the fire tubes.
  • An inner cylindrical chamber is mounted within the interior of the burner outer body, the inner cylindrical chamber forming a peripheral sealed end region at the first end opening of the outer body.
  • the inner cylindrical chamber has sidewalls which form an open internal region which constitutes a combustion region for the burner and an end opening for exhausting the products of combustion to the fire tubes of the associated water heating tank.
  • the preferred burner assembly of the invention further comprises an ignition cap assembly.
  • the ignition cap assembly includes a cylindrical body portion having cylindrical sidewalls. The sidewalls have a selected external diameter which allows the cylindrical body portion to be received about the inner cylindrical chamber and within the interior of the cylindrical outer body.
  • the sidewalls of the cap assembly also have a predetermined depth which is less than a corresponding depth of the cylindrical sidewalls of the outer body, thereby creating a gap with respect to the sealed peripheral region formed at the first end opening of the burner.
  • the cap assembly also has a lid portion which seats upon and seals with the second end opening of the cylindrical outer body, whereby a serpentine flow path is created for gases passing from the blower, between the interior of the outer body and the cylindrical body portion of the cap assembly and between the sidewalls of the cap assembly and the sidewalls of the inner cylindrical chamber.
  • An igniter element operatively associated with the cap assembly, is provided for igniting air and fuel supplied to the interior of the inner cylindrical chamber to thereby produce products of combustion for heating water contained within the associated water heater tank.
  • the igniter element comprises a pair of electrodes mounted on the lid region of the cap assembly.
  • the lid portion of the cap assembly can conveniently comprise a planar member which is of a greater relative outer diameter than that of the outer body, whereby the lid portion forms an outwardly extending flange region which seats upon and seals with the second end opening of the cylindrical outer body.

  • the improved burner assembly of the invention can conceivably be incorporated into a large variety of end applications for gas burners in both the general consumer and commercial and industrial settings.
  • the improved device of the invention could be used, for example, in such diverse applications as cooking ovens, grills, gas freestanding stoves, cook-tops, rotisseries and outdoor grills, to name a few.

If the illustrated, cylindrical burner was altered to have two heat outlets or openings instead of one, as described above, the ignition source might be located outside one of these openings. While such a design might not be practical where the burner outlet is placed against the sidewall of an appliance heat exchanger, it might well be desirable in a two heat outlet design.
