Description

    Technical field
  • The present invention relates to an air/gas mixing device, in particular for burner apparatuses with pre-mixing, having the characteristics mentioned in the preamble of principal claim No. 1.
    • Technological background
  • An air/gas mixing device having the features outlined above is known from EP 1096201 .
  • Devices of the aforesaid type are used particularly in gas burner apparatuses with pre-mixing, in which a combustible air/gas mixture is pre-mixed upstream of the combustion head of the burner.
  • Typical applications provide for the use of Venturi-effect mixers, in which the combustible gas is injected into the restricted section of a Venturi tube arranged for conveying to the burner the predetermined flow of air for combustion.
  • Other applications provide for air/gas pre-mixing upstream of a fan unit intended to supply, at the delivery side, the pre-mixed air/gas flow to the burner. In the known solutions relating to the latter application, the combustible gas is typically injected in proximity to an axial zone of the mixing device, with reference to the axis of the impeller of a centrifugal fan associated with the pre-mixing device. The device, provided in general with stator blades intended to impart a rotational component to the pre-mixed flow, is fed with a flow of air which is then mixed, in the device, with the gas injected axially, to form a combustible mixture to be conveyed to the intake section of the fan.
  • A burner with a air/gas pre-mixing unit upstream of a fan is described by EP896191 .
    • Description of the invention
  • The principal aim of the invention is that of providing an air-gas mixing device structurally and functionally designed to improve the capacity thereof and the efficiency of mixing of the flows of air and gas introduced, and also to facilitate the conveyance thereof to an intake section of a fan unit associated with the device.
  • These and other aims which will become clear hereinafter are achieved by the invention by means of a device produced according to the attached claims.
    • Brief description of the drawings
  • Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become clearer from the following detailed description of a preferred exemplary embodiment thereof, illustrated by way of non-limiting example with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
    • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a mixing device produced according to the invention,
    • Figure 2 is a front view of the device of Figure 1,
    • Figure 3 is a further perspective view of the device of the preceding Figures,
    • Figure 4 is a diagrammatic side view of the device according to the invention in combination with a fan of a pre-mixed burner apparatus.
    Preferred embodiment of the invention
  • With reference to the drawings cited, the reference 1 indicates as a whole an air/gas mixing device, particularly designed for gaseous fuel burners with pre-mixing, and produced according to the invention.
  • In particular, the device is arranged to receive the flows of air and gas admitted into the device, and to mix the flows so as to form a combustible air/gas mixture intended to be fed to the intake section of a centrifugal fan 2, which is itself arranged to supply, at the delivery side, the combustible mixture to a combustion head 3 of a gas burner 4. Figure 4 shows only diagrammatically a preferred configuration in which the mixing device, the fan and the burner are operationally associated with one another and also disposed, one after the other, in an axial direction X. The axis X further forms the axis of rotation of the impeller 2a of the fan 2, which is housed in a manifold 5 provided with an axial intake section 5a and with a delivery section 5b, disposed in a position remote from the axis X, at the outside diameter of the impeller.
  • The device 1 comprises first conveying means for conveying the flow introduced into it, which are indicated as a whole by 6, and are of the centripetal type, i.e. are designed to convey the flow, admitted in a position remote from the axis X, in the direction of said axis in a substantially centripetal movement, as will become clear from the following detailed description.
  • The conveying means 6 comprise a plurality of stator conveying ducts, all indicated by 7, which extend in directions having a predominant radial component, with respect to the axis of rotation X, and are angularly spaced from one another along a circumferential profile concentric with the axis X, as is clearly illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
  • The ducts 7 are conveniently formed on a discoid base 8 having its main axis coaxial with the axis X, and from which rise in the same direction a plurality of walls 9, each pair of walls adjacent to each other defining a respective duct 7. Each of said ducts 7 is therefore delimited by a pair of opposed and facing walls 9, by the base 8 and, on the opposite side from the base, by at least part of the manifold 5.
  • As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, each duct 7 is open at its opposed longitudinal ends, at which are respectively formed an opening 7a, remote from the axis X, constituting an opening for the entry of the flow into the device, and an opening 7b, close to the axis X, constituting an opening for the exit of the flow from the corresponding duct 7.
  • The openings 7a are therefore distributed along a common circumferential profile, in a position remote from the main axis X, and are conveniently angularly spaced at a regular pitch. Similarly, the openings 7b are also distributed at an equal angular pitch on a second profile, close to the axis X and concentric therewith. The passage cross-section of the flow in each conveying duct 7 has an amplitude which increases from the corresponding opening 7a in the direction of the opposed outlet opening 7b. In this way, each corresponding duct 7 has a characteristic divergent configuration, in the direction of the flow conveyed.
  • Furthermore, the walls 9 delimiting the plurality of ducts 7 conveniently have a curved profile in the longitudinal direction predominantly radially directed, as is clearly illustrated in Figure 2. The curved profiles of the entire plurality of walls 9 are moreover provided with a configuration in which they have a curvature of the same sign.
  • The reference 10 also defines a zone formed in the device, downstream of the ducts 7 and contained between the outlet openings 7b and the main axis X of the device, in which zone takes place the mixing of the individual flows conveyed, in a centripetal movement, along the ducts 7 and delivered at the outlet of said ducts.
  • The mixing device 1 also comprises second conveying means, designed for conveying the flow of combustible gas, admitted into the device, into each individual duct 7 of the first conveying means, such that in each duct 7 air/gas pre-mixing takes place downstream of the inlet zone for the gas in the corresponding duct 7, in the direction of the axis X.
  • Said second conveying means comprise a distributing channel 11 extending along a circular profile, concentric with the axis X, contiguous with the ducts 7 and also provided with a plurality of through openings 12, each of which places the channel in fluid communication with a respective duct 7. As illustrated in the preferred example of Figure 1, the openings 12 are disposed, angularly spaced at a regular pitch, along the circular profile of the length of the channel 11.
  • More particularly, the channel 11 preferably has a toroidal configuration, a partial middle section of which is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The channel 11 is interrupted circumferentially at a preselected duct 7 (indicated by 7' in the drawings), the latter being intended for the admission of the combustible gas into the device. The duct 7' therefore (via the corresponding opening 7a) places the outside of the mixer in fluid communication with the channel 11, via the passage 11a delimited by the aforesaid circumferential interruption.
  • Each opening 12 is further positioned at a respective portion of each duct 7, contained between the respective ends 7a, 7b, and conveniently behind the end opening 7a, such that the air/gas mixing, between the flow of air, conveyed along a duct 7, and the flow of combustible gas, fed via the channel 11 into the corresponding opening 12, takes place in a section of the duct 7 from which a divergent portion of the duct itself extends in the direction of the main axis. This configuration, provided in each of the ducts 7, substantially reflects the mixing process obtained with a Venturi effect from the restricted section of a divergent duct. Such mixing is however effected in each of the ducts 7, for each respective individual flow of air admitted by the corresponding duct 7, and mixed with the gas distributed by means of the channel 12.
  • In a typical application, therefore, the ducts 7, with the exception of the duct 7', are dedicated to conveying air inside the mixer, and the air/gas pre-mixing takes place in each duct 7 in the manner described above, to form a combustible mixture to be fed to the fan 2 and thence to the burner 4.
  • The mixing zone 10, provided at least in part in the base 8 of the device, is arranged to be placed in fluid communication with the axial intake section 5a of the centrifugal fan 2, such that the fan is fed on the intake side with the pre-mixed air/gas flow.
  • Indicated in Figure 3 by suitable arrows (by solid lines for the air, by dash-dotted lines for the gas and by dashed lines for the air/gas mixture) are the directions of the respectively centripetal conveying movement of the flow of air inside the device, of the gas inlet flow and of the flow of the air/gas mixture fed to the fan.
  • It should be noted that the mixing device of the invention, in functional terms, forms a system equivalent to a plurality of Venturi tubes in parallel with one another, where each individual mixing takes place in the corresponding duct of the plurality of ducts provided in the mixer.
  • This plurality of individual mixing systems advantageously permits more efficient management of the mixing, inasmuch as it ensures in the individual duct greater efficiency and uniformity of the flow rates of the air/gas mixture.
  • Moreover, the plurality of mixing venturis ensures uniform distribution of the air/gas mixture already before the impeller.
  • Another advantage is the possibility of increasing the return under-pressure of the combustible gas, necessary in air/gas systems.
  • It is further possible to obtain an advantageous silencing effect with suitable configuration of the system.
