Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a burner usable in both the industrial and civil field.
  • Burners are used e.g. in the ceramic industry, inside the equipment for the heat treatment of ceramic products, such as kilns and dryers.
  • the burners of known type are generally made of a supporting body, defining an air supply duct and a combustion gas supply duct, and of a combustion head through which the above-mentioned ducts are placed in communication with a combustion area.
  • a burner is known from WO2011/120597 .
  • the combustion head in turn comprises an air diffuser, which has a plurality of openings communicating with the air supply duct to direct same towards the combustion area, and gas dispensing means, which have a plurality of flow gaps communicating with the gas supply duct to convey same towards the combustion area.
  • the diffuser of the combustion head generally consists of a plate-shaped element having a circular conformation, which is fitted around the gas supply duct and the entire thickness of which is crossed by the above openings.
  • the diffuser generally has a plurality of circular through holes, arranged along at least a circumference and having respective axes inclined so as to converge towards the extension of the longitudinal axis of the gas supply duct along the combustion area.
  • the diffuser also envisages a plurality of cuts obtained on its periphery according to planes inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis so as to give the air passing through it a helical movement.
  • burners of known type ensure flame stability with gas flows close to the minimum or maximum values.
  • known burners are unable to adapt in a flexible way to the specific requirements of the case, meaning they do not permit an effective and prompt adjustment of flame intensity according to load conditions. This means that, e.g., in the event of the flame produced by the burner being unable to satisfy the necessary heat requirements, the burner has to be replaced with another of different size. In the same way, to heat environments of different conformation or size, burners of different type must be used. All this inevitably translates into an increase in investment costs, and into more complex stock management and maintenance jobs.
  • burners of known type consist in the fact that they do not allow making any adjustment of the flow rate of combustion fluid which is dispensed towards the combustion area. This limit is particularly evident in the limit operating conditions of the burners themselves, i.e., both during maximum peaks and during production gaps.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to provide a burner that allows achieving an effective mix of air and combustion gas, while at the same time ensuring high flame stability with both low and high gas flow rates.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a burner which permits easily regulating the geometry of the flame according to the specific requirements of the case in question.
  • Another object of the present invention is to allow the easy and quick adjustment of the output of the burner itself. More in particular, the present invention proposes to improve operation, with respect to burners of known type, both during maximum peaks and during production gaps.
  • Yet another object is to provide a burner which permits optimizing consumption with respect to burners of known type.
  • Another object of the present invention is to reduce, with respect to burners of known type, the maintenance jobs required to restore correct diffuser operation and therefore substantially maintain the performance of the burner itself unaltered over time.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a burner that allows to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the background art in the ambit of a simple, rational, easy, effective to use and low cost solution.
  • the burner 1 comprises a supporting body 2 which defines at least a first duct 3 for the supply of a combustive fluid and at least a second duct 4 for the supply of a combustion fluid.
  • the supporting body 2 comprises a first tubular element 2a defining the first duct 3 and a second tubular element 2b defining the second duct 4.
  • tubular used here is meant any internally hollow element, irrespective of the shape of its cross-section, which can be any.
  • the second tubular element 2b is arranged inside the first tubular element 2a. More in particular, the first duct 3 is therefore delimited at the side by the first and the second tubular elements 2a and 2b, while the second duct 4 is delimited at the side by the second tubular element 2b only. In the embodiment shown in the illustrations, the first duct 3 therefore extends around the second duct 4.
  • tubular elements 2a and 2b are substantially concentric with one another.
  • the longitudinal axis of the first and of the second tubular elements 2a and 2b is identified in the illustrations by the reference letter A.
  • the first and the second ducts 2a and 2b have a first inlet mouth 5 for the combustive fluid and a second inlet mouth 6 for the combustion fluid respectively.
  • the supporting body 2 also defines an inlet chamber 7 communicating with the first duct 3 through the first mouth 5 and having an inlet mouth 8 for the combustion fluid connectable to a ventilation system for blowing the combustive fluid, generally consisting of air.
  • the inlet chamber 7 is also arranged around the second tubular element 2b.
  • the inlet chamber 7 has a plurality of conveying channels 40 for conveying the combustion fluid towards the first duct 3. More in detail, such conveying channels 40 are delimited by a plurality of ribs and are suitable for directing the combustion fluid in the inlet chamber 7 along a direction substantially parallel to the axis A of the first duct 3.
  • the first tubular element 2a and the portion of the supporting body 2 delimitating the inlet chamber 7 can be made in a single body piece or can be made separately, as in the embodiment shown in the illustrations.
  • the first tubular element 2a has a first extremity delimitating the first mouth 5 and a second extremity, opposite the first one, connected to diffusing means 9 of the combustive fluid.
  • the first tubular element 2a also defines the outer overall dimensions of the supporting body 2, though alternative embodiments cannot be ruled out wherein the supporting body 2 also comprises a coating element of the first tubular element 2a open at one extremity and inside which the combustion head 15 is housed.
  • first tubular element 2a On the side surface of the first tubular element 2a are also defined a plurality of slots 10 distributed annularly to allow the flow of the combustive fluid from the first duct 3 towards the outside. This way, any excess combustive fluid can be released.
  • the second tubular element 2b also has a first extremity coupled to the second mouth 6 and a second extremity, opposite the first, connected to dispensing means 11 of the combustion fluid.
  • the second tubular element 2b comprises a union element 12 defining an extremity section of the second duct 4.
  • the second tubular element 2b comprises a main section 13 with which the union element 12 is associated integral.
  • the main section 13 and the union element 12 can be made in a single body piece or separately as shown in the illustrations.
  • the combustion fluid is preferably in gaseous state such as natural gas.
  • a flange 14 suitable for allowing its fastening to a supporting structure.
  • the burner 1 then also comprises a combustion head 15 associated with the supporting body 2.
  • the combustion head 15 comprises the diffusing means 9 and the dispensing means 11.
  • the dispensing means 11 of the combustion fluid are communicating with the second duct 4 and have at least a gap 18 for the flow of the combustion fluid itself towards the combustion area 17.
  • the dispensing means 11 are associated with the extremity section of the second duct 4 defined in the illustrations by the union element 12.
  • the dispensing means 11 have a plurality of gaps 18 for the flow of the combustion fluid.
  • the diffusing means 9 are communicating with the first duct 3 and comprise a plurality of diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c having relative openings 16 mobile the one to the other to change the relative position of the openings defined on them. More in detail, at least one of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c can be moved with respect to the others to change the reciprocal position of the relative openings 16.
  • Each diffusing element 9a,9b,9c therefore has a plurality of openings 16 and by changing the reciprocal position of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c the combustive fluid flow section is therefore changed.
  • the flow of combustive fluid receives minimum and maximum deviation in the condition wherein the openings 16 define, following the reciprocal movement of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c, the maximum and minimum flow section respectively.
  • the deviation of the flow of the combustive fluid can therefore be regulated, to a lesser deviation corresponding a greater extension of the flame and vice versa.
  • the maximum air flow rate through the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c the maximum flow is also increased of the gas that can be burned and, therefore, the output of the burner 1.
  • the openings 16 are defined by a number of respective cuts 19 extending along a portion of the relative diffusing element 9a,9b,9c starting from its perimeter edge.
  • the cuts 19 are defined according to a plane inclined with respect to the lying plane of the relative diffusing element 9a,9b,9c.
  • the openings 16 have a substantially curvilinear extension and have a growing section proceeding towards the peripheral edge of the relative diffusing element.
  • the openings 16 thus conformed are suitable for directing the flow of combustive fluid passing through them with a helical pattern, optimizing the mix with the combustion fluid in the combustion area 17.
  • the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c have a substantially circular conformation and the openings 16 are arranged radially on them.
  • the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c are of the plate-shaped type and are positioned substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the tubular elements 2a and 2b.
  • the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c have a central through hole 20 by means of which they are fitted around the second tubular element 2b.
  • the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c are fitted around the union element 12.
  • the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c are superimposed on one another and are reciprocally mobile around a relative rotation axis.
  • the rotation axis of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c substantially coincides with the longitudinal axis A of the tubular elements 2a and 2b.
  • At least one of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c is fixed.
  • the innermost diffusing element 9a i.e., that closest to the first extremity of the first tubular element 2a, is fixed with respect to the supporting body 2.
  • the through hole 20 of the fixed diffusing element 9a is not circular but is shaped so as to cooperate with the union element 12 to prevent reciprocal rotation.
  • the through hole 20 and the union element 12 have a complementary profile, i.e., they both define a pair of opposite rectilinear walls 20a cooperating with each other to stop the diffusing element 9a in rotation with respect to the second tubular element 2b.
  • the diffusing means 9 comprise three diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c superimposed on one another.
  • Both the through holes 20 of the fixed diffusing elements 9a and 9b have an identical profile, according to what has been described above, and are suitable for cooperating with the union element 12 around which they are fitted.
  • the union element 12 has at least a section 12a which diverges proceeding towards the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c, where the section 12a protrudes inside the first duct 3 and is suitable for directing the combustive fluid flow towards the outer portions 16a of the openings 16, as indicated by the arrows shown in figure 8 .
  • the combustive fluid is then deviated by the union element 12 towards the outer portion 16a of the openings 16.
  • the union element 12, and in particular its section 12a causes the combustive fluid to be deviated away from the portions of the openings 16 closest to the axis of the relative diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c.
  • Such portions are henceforth defined “inner portions” and identified in the figures from 5 to 7 by the reference number 16b.
  • the fact that the inner portions 16b are those with the smallest section also ensures that the quantity of combustive fluid itself which crosses them is minimum. This prevents, in particular in the case of the burner 1 being supplied with a low combustion fluid flow, the flow of combustive fluid passing through such inner portions not being strong enough to drag the combustion fluid outside the combustion area, thereby "tearing" the flame.
  • the wall of the second tubular element 2b delimiting laterally the second duct 4 defines at least a locator surface 21 against which rests one of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c, in particular the innermost diffusing element 9a.
  • the locator surface 21 is defined by the union element 12 around which the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c are fitted.
  • means are provided for locking the reciprocal position of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c.
  • the locking means correspond to the dispensing means 11, which define a locking surface 22 meant to rest against one of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c on the opposite side with respect to the locator surface 21.
  • the locking surface 22 is suitable for cooperating with the outermost diffusing element 9c.
  • the position of the dispensing means 11 with respect to the section of extremity of the second duct 4 with which they are associated, and defined in the illustrations by the union element 12, is adjustable so as to press the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c placed between the surfaces 21 and 22 one against the other for the purpose of preventing their reciprocal movement during use.
  • the dispensing means 11 are mobile between an adjustment position, wherein the locking surface 22 is moved away from the outermost diffusing element 9c to allow the reciprocal movement of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c, and a locking position, wherein the locking surface 22 cooperates with the outermost diffusing element 9c so as to pack up the diffusing elements themselves, thus making them reciprocally integral.
  • the dispensing means 11 can be screwed onto the second tubular element 2b in correspondence to its second extremity defined by the union element 12.
  • the dispensing means 11 are therefore unscrewed to allow the adjustment of the reciprocal position of the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c, while these are screwed up to make them reciprocally integral during the operation of the burner 1.
  • the dispensing means 11 comprise at least a fixed portion 11a and a mobile portion 11b, where the position of the latter is adjustable with respect to the fixed portion 11a.
  • the fixed portion 11a and the mobile portion 11b are integral with each other and stopped; in other words, in use, there is no relative movement between the portions 11a and 11b, the position of the mobile portion 11b being changeable during the periods when the burner 1 is not in use.
  • the fixed portion 11a is associated with the second extremity of the second tubular element 2b, defined in the particular embodiment shown in the illustrations by the union element 12.
  • the fixed portion 11a is e.g. screwed onto the union element 12.
  • One between the fixed portion 11a and the mobile portion 11b defines the gaps 18 communicating with a dispensing channel 23 delimited by two opposite surfaces 24a and 24b defined by the fixed portion 11a and by the mobile portion 11b respectively.
  • the opposite surfaces 24a and 24b, and therefore also the dispensing channel 23 defined by them, are arranged transversally to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the gaps 18 for the flow of the combustion fluid can be indifferently defined on the fixed portion 11a or on the mobile portion 11b.
  • the mobile portion 11b can be moved between at least a lowered configuration wherein the opposite surfaces 24a and 24b are brought closer together, and a raised configuration wherein the opposite surfaces 24a and 24b are moved away from one another with respect to the lowered configuration.
  • the flow section, and therefore the flow rate of the combustion fluid is at minimum in the lowered configuration and at maximum in the raised configuration.
  • one or more intermediate configurations are provided. It is also easy for the technician in the sector to appreciate how the reciprocal distance of the opposite surfaces 24a and 24b in the extremal configurations can vary according to the chosen embodiment. For example, in the lowered configuration, the opposite surfaces 24a and 24b can be in contact with one another or, alternatively, at a minimum predefined distance.
  • the burner 1 comprises means for regulating the position of the mobile portion 11b with respect to the fixed portion 11a.
  • the adjustment of the position of the mobile portion 11b can be of the discrete or continuous type.
  • the fixed portion 11a has a seat 25 inside which fits the mobile portion 11b.
  • the mobile portion 11b is, e.g., screwed up inside the seat 25 defined on the fixed portion 11a.
  • the adjustment means comprise at least a locator element 28, having a predefined thickness, positioned between the fixed portion 11a and the mobile portion 11b.
  • the seat 25 defines an abutment surface 26 with which is suitable for cooperating a respective counter-abutment surface 27 defined on the mobile portion 11b and between which the locator element 28 is positioned.
  • the locator element 28 is of the rigid type and its thickness defines the distance between the opposite surfaces 24a and 24b. More in detail, the mobile portion 11b is fitted inside the seat 25 until its counter-abutment surface 27 rests on the locator element 28 in turn arranged resting on the abutment surface 26. It is therefore easy to appreciate how, by varying the thickness of the locator element 28, the reciprocal position of the fixed portion 11a and of the mobile portion 11b is consequently changed.
  • the adjustment of the position of the mobile portion 11b is of the continuous type.
  • the mobile portion 11b is screwed up inside the seat 25 and safety means 29 are provided suitable for cooperating with the mobile portion itself to prevent its moving away from the fixed portion 11a.
  • the safety means 29 comprise, in the embodiment shown in the illustrations, a threaded element 29 which fits through a central through hole, threaded, defined on the fixed portion 11a. The bottom extremity of the threaded element 29 is therefore arranged inside the seat 25.
  • the mobile portion 11b By rotating the mobile portion 11b with respect to the fixed portion 11a, the former also moves with respect to the threaded element 29. It follows therefore that the mobile portion 11b can be screwed up/unscrewed with respect to the fixed portion 11a until the extremities of the thread of the threaded element 29 are reached.
  • the fixed portion 11a and the mobile portion 11b can take on various configurations, including ones considerably different from one another, but such as to allow in any case the adjustment of the flow rate of the combustion fluid towards the outside according to what has been described above.
  • the fixed portion 11a comprises a plurality of combustion fluid flow channels 30 communicating with the second duct 4 and each defining a respective flow gap 18.
  • the channels 30 extend along a direction substantially parallel to the second duct 4, while the gaps 18 are arranged (or have a lying plane) substantially orthogonal to such parallel direction.
  • the gaps 18 face onto the surface 24a delimiting the dispensing channel 23.
  • the mobile portion 11b has a central channel 31 communicating, through the seat 25, with the second duct 4 and along the peripheral edge of which are defined the gaps 18.
  • the central channel 31 is therefore substantially coaxial with the second duct 4 and the gaps 18 are arranged (or have a lying plane) substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the fixed portion 11a has a circular surface 32 which surrounds the section of the mobile portion 11b on which are defined the gaps 18 and which extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis A. More in particular, the circular surface 32 is substantially coaxial to the ducts 3 and 4.
  • the fixed portion 11a has, in correspondence to the circular surface 32, a plurality of recesses 33, e.g., shaped in a semi-circle, angularly distanced from one another and arranged substantially parallel to the gaps 18.
  • These recesses 33 define the minimum flow rate of the combustion fluid in the configuration corresponding to the smaller flow section of the dispensing channel 23, i.e., wherein the surfaces 24a and 24b are in contact with one another.
  • the section of the mobile portion 11b decreases proceeding from the second duct 4 towards the dispensing area 17, as shown in the embodiments in the figures from 9 to 12.
  • combustion fluid exiting with whirling movement from the diffusing elements 9a, 9b and 9c and the combustion fluid which exits through the dispensing channel 23 transversally to the longitudinal axis A are sucked up towards the combustion area 17 by effect of the variation in section of the mobile portion 11b.
  • the burner 1 also has an ignition electrode 34 and a control sensor 35 of the combustion, both of traditional type and, therefore, not described in detail.
  • the ignition electrode 34 and the control sensor 35 are arranged aligned with the longitudinal axis A and are fitted passing through the diffusing elements 9a,9b,9c within respective seats 36, terminating in correspondence to the combustion area 17.
  • the operation of the present invention is the following.
  • the operator Before igniting the burner 1, depending on the specific requirements of the case, the operator consequently regulates the reciprocal position of the diffusing elements 9a, 9b and 9c and of the mobile portion 11b with respect to the fixed portion 11a.
  • the operator unscrews the fixed portion 11a from the union element 12 so as to loosen the compression force acting on the diffusing elements 9a, 9b and 9c and thus allow the adjustment of the angular position of the outermost diffusing element 9c with respect to the fixed diffusing elements 9a and 9b.
  • the operator again screws up the fixed portion 11a on the union element 12 again packing up the diffusing elements 9a, 9b and 9c so as to make them reciprocally integral.
  • the adjustment mode of the position of the mobile portion 11b with respect to the fixed portion 11a can be of the discrete or the continuous type.
  • the operator removes the mobile portion 11b from the fixed portion 11a and replaces the intermediate element 28 and fits one of different thickness.
  • the burner forming the subject of the present invention permits adjusting, in an easy and practical way, the geometry, and therefore the extension, of the flame of the burner itself.
  • the synergic effect due to the diverging conformation of the union element over which are fitted the diffusing elements and the diverging conformation of the openings obtained on the diffusing elements themselves allow at the same time obtaining a perfect combustion fluid-combustive fluid mix besides keeping the flame at any operating level of the burner itself, i.e., with both high and low gas flow rates.
  • This adjustment permits adapting, in an extremely flexible way, the operation of the burner itself to the specific requirements of the case. More in particular, the burner forming the subject of the present invention is also usable for different conformations and dimensions of the environment to be heated. This is extremely advantageous for example in the ceramic industry, where the same burner can adapt to different widths and manage to also effectively heat the tiles in the central part of the kiln itself, thus avoiding the formation of unburned material.
  • the burner according to the invention thus makes it possible to optimize the heating phases which distinguish the ceramic process, thereby permitting the reduction of the firing cycles and, consequently, an increase in production per unit of time.
  • the particular conformation of the dispensing means of the combustion fluid also allows changing, in an easy and precise way, the flow rate of same towards the combustion area. This permits regulating the burner output according to need, reducing the formation of carbon residues in the combustion area and easily adapting the operation of the burner to both maximum peaks and production gaps (in case of use in the industrial field, e.g., in the ceramic industry).
