Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high perimeter stability burner for a gas boiler.
  • Gas boilers of the prior art comprise: a conduit for supplying a burner with a premixed gas-air mixture, a burner for the production of heat through the combustion of said mixture in a combustion chamber, and possibly a support element which may be connected to the heat exchanger and/or to the supply conduit to ensure the closure of the combustion chamber and/or for positioning the burner with respect to such combustion chamber.
  • the burner comprises a diffuser through which the premixed fuel and air gas which determines a flame pattern for the production of heat is conveyed.
  • the diffuser comprises a wall provided with a plurality of openings and having an inner surface fluidically connected with the supply conduit, and thus in contact with the unburnt mixture, and an outer surface whereon the combustion occurs.
  • a distribution device, or distributor may also be provided arranged on the side of the diffuser opposite to the combustion surface, usually comprising a wall with a plurality of through openings, configured so as to distribute the gas-air mixture in a substantially uniform manner or however in the desired manner towards the wall of the diffuser.
  • WO2004/092647A1 describes a prior art metal burner membrane which forms prior art for the preamble of claim 1.
  • the heat produced by the combustion on the outer side of the wall of the diffuser is conveyed through the hot fuel gases to a heat exchanger for heating a fluid, for example water, which is subsequently conveyed to a user, for example to a heating system of an industrial process, residential environments or the like and/or domestic water.
  • a fluid for example water
  • Such phenomenon of the flame moving away from the diffuser is particularly relevant at the ends of the diffuser.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a burner capable of overcoming the aforementioned flame instability problems, in particular the problem related to the flame detachment , and which is simultaneously simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • the aforementioned configuration allows obtaining a flow direction of the fuel gases exiting from the diffuser whose component in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the diffuser at the edges thereof is substantially null.
  • it is possible to reduce the mixture flow at the edges and prevent the flame detachment phenomenon, also with high power modulations.
  • gas flow direction is used to indicate the main direction of flow of the gases.
  • the expression "the cross-section has a uniform radius of curvature” is used to indicate that each point of the cross-section has the same radius of curvature, i.e. it belongs to the same hypothetical circumference having such radius.
  • a gas boiler burner is wholly indicated with reference number 1.
  • reference 1 indicates a burner which produces heat through the combustion of a premixed fuel gas, generally comprising fuel gas and air.
  • a premixed fuel gas generally comprising fuel gas and air.
  • Such fuel gases are completely premixed, i.e. no further component is added to the mixture supplied to the burner.
  • the burner 1 comprises a diffuser 2, which is suitable for diffusing fuel gases in a combustion chamber 3 (indicated with a dotted line in figure 1 ).
  • the burner 1 is mounted on a framework 9. The latter may be connected to the combustion chamber 3 through connection portions.
  • the framework 9 further delimits an opening for the passage of the fuel and air mixture.
  • the diffuser 2 includes a wall provided with a plurality of openings whose inner surface is fluidically connected with the gas supply conduit. The combustion occurs on the outer surface of such wall.
  • the diffuser 2 may comprise a distributor 4 of the known type, suitable for distributing the mixture to the diffuser 2 and arranged on the side of the diffuser 2 opposite to the combustion chamber 3.
  • Figure 1 also shows a schematic representation of a heat exchanger 6 in contact with the combustion chamber 3, which is suitable for receiving the heat produced by the combustion on the outer side of the wall of the diffuser 2.
  • a longitudinal direction ⁇ As shown in figure 2 , three main directions have been identified: a longitudinal direction ⁇ , a transverse direction ⁇ and a radial direction ⁇ .
  • the longitudinal direction ⁇ and the transverse direction ⁇ are orthogonal to each other and they are both orthogonal to the direction of flow of the gases entering into the burner 1, which is indicated in the figures with the arrows 7.
  • each cross-section of said diffuser 2 has a uniform radius of curvature.
  • each section obtained intersecting the diffuser 2 with a plane parallel to the plane B-B of figure 4 has a single radius of curvature, i.e. each point of the section belongs to an ideal circumference having such radius of curvature.
  • the diffuser 2 comprises a diffuser central portion 10 and two diffuser longitudinally peripheral portions 5, in which said two diffuser longitudinally peripheral portions 5 are connected to each other by said diffuser central portion 10.
  • the diffuser central portion 10 extends longitudinally in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the fuel gases, i.e. in the longitudinal direction ⁇ , over a length 1 greater than zero.
  • the diffuser central portion 10 has a cross-section shaped as a circumference arc having a radius r, as shown in figure 5 .
  • the cross-section is preferably a semi-circumference.
  • the diffuser central portion 10 extends transversely over a length equivalent to 2r.
  • Each of said diffuser longitudinally peripheral portions 5 is shaped as a portion of sphere having radius r, as shown in figure 4 .
  • each of said portions is shaped as a quarter of sphere.
  • the radius of the spherical portion which forms each peripheral longitudinal portion of the diffuser 5 has a length equivalent to the radius of the cross-section of the diffuser central portion 10.
  • the burner 1 also comprises a distributor 4 associated to the diffuser 2 and suitable for distributing the fuel gases on the diffuser 2, which has a configuration substantially equivalent to the configuration of the diffuser 2. This is particularly observable in figure 5 .
  • Said distributor 4 comprises a sheet provided with openings or a metal mesh or a porous material.
  • the diffuser 2 instead, comprises a mesh made of metal or ceramic fibres or a compact material having openings or a porous material.
  • the diffuser 2 is connected to a framework 9 which is arranged substantially perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fuel gases entering the burner 1, indicated by the arrows 7.
  • each longitudinally peripheral portion of the diffuser 5 is shaped as a circumference arc having a radius r, thus the edges of the longitudinal section of the diffuser 2 have the same characteristics of the edges of the cross-section of the diffuser 2.
  • the normal component of the direction of flow of the exiting gases is minimum along all the perimeter edges of the diffuser 2 and thus the flame detachment phenomenon, critical in such areas, is controlled.
  • gas boiler burner according to the present invention may be subjected, by a man skilled in the art, with the aim of meeting contingent and specific requirements, to further modifications and variants within the scope of protection of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
