Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a burner for a gas heater.
  • Gas heaters of the prior art comprise a combustion chamber with a heat exchanger, a burner either connected to or inside the combustion chamber for producing heat by combusting a mixture of fuel gas and combustion supporting air within the combustion chamber, a feeding pipe for feeding the gas and air mixture to the burner, as well as a frame for supporting and connecting the burner to the combustion chamber.
  • the diffuser layer consists of a wall with a plurality of through openings.
  • a wall may be a perforated sheet, a fabric, a mesh (for brevity, meshes and fabrics will be indicated hereinafter by the term "meshes") or a porous or perforated wall of ceramic material.
  • a distributor may be provided upstream of the diffuser layer (with reference to the flow direction of the gas-air mixture) with the aim of distributing the mixture in a desired manner towards the diffuser wall.
  • the known distributors are generally made as walls with a plurality of through openings, e.g. made of a perforated sheet, and which may form an "inner" layer of the combustion membrane or, alternatively, a component spaced apart from the combustion membrane.
  • the heat produced by the combustion is carried by means of the hot combustion gases (by convection) and by means of thermal radiation to the heat exchanger for heating a fluid, e.g. water, which is then conveyed to a user, e.g. to a heating system of an industrial process, of living spaces or the like and/or of sanitary water.
  • a fluid e.g. water
  • the heater For a targeted, safe use of the heater, it is desirable to control and be able to vary in a controlled manner the heating power of the burner and the local and total flow rate of the fuel mixture through the combustion membrane.
  • the flow rate of the fuel mixture affects flame temperature, combustion membrane temperature, overall thermal power, and flame stability, but regretfully even the onset of undesired instability phenomena and detachment of the flame from the combustion surface.
  • flame stability In addition to the local flow rate of the fuel mixture, flame stability also depends on the local temperature of the combustion membrane, which local temperature is, in turn, affected by geometry and weight distribution in the combustion membrane and in the supporting frame. For this reason, combustion membranes are often made of metal meshes or fabrics which facilitate a tridimensional, double-curvature shaping.
  • the perforated sheet may be easily folded about a single axis (or about multiple parallel axes), a shaping with curvature about several non-parallel axes results in a stretching on the plane of the sheet with uncontrollable, unrepeatable deformations of the holes and possible breakage of the sheet "bridges" between adjacent holes.
  • metal fiber meshes are expensive and dimensionally poorly stable, and therefore are often used in combination with a supporting metal mesh which further increases the burner cost.
  • properties (permeability, thickness, density) of the metal fiber meshes have a statistic distribution with high standard deviation. This makes it difficult to control the parameters which affect the combustion and results in uncertainties in the ignition, flame detection, fuel flow load and specific thermal power of the burner.
  • a very common type of burner has a flat metal frame with an elongated opening with two parallel rectilinear longitudinal edges and two semi-circular end edges, to which a combustion membrane is fixed with a diffuser layer made of metal mesh having a "cannoli" or semi-cigar shape with a central portion which is cylinder-segment shaped and two end portions which are spherical-segment-shaped.
  • This type of known burner shows the advantages and disadvantages of the prior art in an exemplary manner: the use of metal meshes to facilitate the formation of complex tridimensional shapes while keeping the perforation or porosity features of the mesh nearly unchanged, but at the expense of higher cost and greater statistic variability of the properties (weight distribution, permeability, mechanical strength and thermal expansion) of the metal mesh with respect to sheets and porous ceramic layers.
  • a gas burner for a heater comprises:
  • the construction of the combustion surface made of a perforated metal sheet and its single curvature shape thus without hole distortion, result in highly accurate, constant and repeatable properties (permeability, weight distribution, thermal capacity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, thermal expansion), which allow the combustion parameters to be better controlled.
  • the construction of the combustion surface and of the entire tridimensional combustion membrane of metal sheet obviates the need to use expensive materials, such as metal meshes or porous ceramic materials, and facilitates the connection of the combustion membrane made of metal sheet to the frame made of metal sheet.
  • single curvature means a curvature or a folding of a sheet, layer or tridimensional curved plane about a single axis or about multiple parallel axes, such as not to result in a distortion of the curved plane with respect to the initially flat shape.
  • single curvature itself does not exclude the presence of flat zones (infinite curvature radius) which can be formed in combination, e.g. in an alternating manner, with curved zones.
  • a gas burner 1 for heaters comprises a planar metal frame portion 2 with an elongated opening 3 (e.g. extended along a longitudinal axis 4) defined by two longitudinal edges 5 extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis 4 and mutually opposite and facing each other, and by two end edges 6 which are transversal to the longitudinal axis 4 and also mutually opposite and facing each other.
  • Burner 1 further comprises a combustion membrane 7 in the form of a tridimensional shell, connected to the frame portion 2 along the longitudinal edges 5 and transversal edges 6.
  • the combustion membrane 7 has a diffuser layer 8 which forms an outer combustion surface 9 made of a perforated metal sheet, and which extends between the two longitudinal edges 5 with a single curvature out of the plane 10 of the frame portion 2.
  • the diffuser layer 8 made of a perforated metal sheet is connected to the two longitudinal edges 5 and extends from the longitudinal edges as an arched bridge with single curvature over opening 3.
  • the combustion membrane 7 further has two closure portions 11 made of metal sheet which extend from the transversal edges 6 out of the plane 10 of the frame portion 2 and which close (otherwise free) end areas 12 between the diffuser layer 8 and the transversal edges 6 of the frame portion 2.
  • combustion surface 9 made of a perforated metal sheet and its single curvature shape, thus without distortion of the holes 13, result in highly accurate, constant and repeatable properties (permeability, weight distribution, thermal capacity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, thermal expansion), which allow the combustion parameters to be better controlled.
  • the diffuser layer 8 with the combustion surface 9 made of metal sheet has a sectional shape on a section plane transversal to the longitudinal axis 4 in the form of:
  • the diffuser layer 8 with the combustion surface 9 has a constant cross section along the longitudinal extension of the combustion surface 9, i.e. along the longitudinal axis 4, similar to an extruded shape.
  • the closure portions 11 have a wall 14 which is substantially flat and transversal to the plane 10 of the frame portion 2 and a folded edge 15 which connects the flat wall 14 to the diffuser layer 8.
  • the folded edge 15 of the closure portion 11 may have an arched shape which is substantially compatible with the arched shape of the diffuser layer 8.
  • the closure portions 11 may each form a wall 14 which is substantially flat and perpendicular to the plane 10 of the frame portion 2 ( Figures 2 , 5 , 6 ).
  • the flat walls 14 may be inclined with respect to the plane 10 of the frame portion 2 towards opening 3 (in a converging manner, Fig. 9a ) or away from opening 3 (in a diverging manner, Fig. 9b ).
  • closure portions 11 and/or the transversal edges 6 may comprise one or more folds or stiffening ribs, e.g. bulges, which could extend from frame 2 through the transversal edge 6 up into the closure portion 11 ( Fig. 6 ).
  • the longitudinal thermal expansions of the diffuser membrane 7 can be prevented from spreading irreversibly, thus deforming the closure portions 11 and creating unplanned gas passage zones.
  • At least one of the closure portions 11 and the diffuser layer 8 is formed together with the frame portion 2 in a single piece of metal sheet ( Figs. 4,6 ). It is particularly advantageous to form at least one or both of the closure portions 11 together with the frame portion 2 in a single piece of metal sheet, e.g. by folding the closure portions 11 out of the plane 10 of frame 2 along the transversal edges 6 of opening 3 ( Figs. 4, 6 ).
  • the construction of the folded edge 15 may include a cut-out 20 of the sheet in the frame portion 2 at the ends of the longitudinal edges 5 in the corner zone with the transversal edges 6 ( Figs. 4, 5 ). These cut-outs 20 may be advantageously sealed by means of localized welds 21 which create four irreversible fixing points between the diffuser layer 8 and the frame 2.
  • Alternative fastenings between the closure portions 11 and the transversal edges 6 of the frame comprise, for example, welds, crimping, fitting, gluing or folding.
  • At least one of the closure portions 11 and the diffuser layer 8 is connected to the frame portion 2 by means of an elastic fit, preferably a snap fit.
  • an elastic fit preferably a snap fit.
  • the fixing between the combustion membrane 7 (in particular the diffuser layer 8) and the frame portion 2 may be made by means of a fixing edge 17 which protrudes from an outer periphery of the combustion membrane 7 (in particular from the diffuser layer 8) and which is fixed, e.g. welded, crimped, fitted, glued or sandwiched, to the corresponding edge (in particular the longitudinal edge 5) of the frame portion 2.
  • the fixing edge 17 may be made of the same metal sheet of the combustion membrane 7 (in particular of the diffuser layer 8), e.g. by bending a peripheral region thereof, but is superimposed on the frame portion 2 on the combustion side 18 or preferably on the feeding side 19 ( figure 4 ) and does not allow the passage of fuel mix or the formation of flame. Therefore, in the present description, the fixing edge 17 is not considered within the definition of "diffuser layer 8".
  • the diffuser layer 8 can be inserted from the feeding side 19 into the opening 3 of the frame portion 2 to engage the fixing edge 17 and/or a stop groove 16 with a longitudinal edge 5 of the opening 3, and place the end portions against the folded edges 15 of the closure portions 11 ( Fig. 4 ).
  • burner 1 comprises a distributor 22 for distributing the fuel mix in a desired manner towards the diffuser layer 8.
  • Distributor 22 comprises one or more walls made of metal sheet with a plurality of through openings 23 and may form an inner layer (feeding side 19) of the combustion membrane 7 or, alternatively, a component spaced apart from the diffuser layer 8.
  • Distributor 22 may be connected to the frame portion 2 or to the diffuser layer 8 by means of an elastic fit, preferably a snap fit.
  • an elastic fit preferably a snap fit.
  • the snap fitting could be completed later by means of spot or seam welding to make the connection irreversible.
  • burner 1 comprises one or more folded tabs, formed in at least one of or in all the components (frame 2, diffuser layer 8, closure portions 11 or distributor 22) and which engage one or more of said other components to block the burner assembly 1 in a permanent manner.
  • Distributor 22 may also comprise a fixing edge 24 configured in a manner identical or similar to that described with reference to the fixing edge 17 of the diffuser layer 8, and may be inserted from the feeding side 19 into the opening 3 of the frame portion 2 to engage the fixing edge 24 and/or a stop groove with a corresponding edge of the opening 3 or of the combustion membrane 7 ( Fig. 4 ).
  • the distributor 22 and the diffuser layer 8 are formed together in a single piece of metal sheet.
  • the metal sheet may be folded so as to form a double wall structure extending as an arc out of the plane 10 of the frame portion 2 and further forming a connection edge with the frame portion 2 ( Fig. 7 ).
  • the longitudinal edges 5 are rectilinear and parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal axis of opening 4 and burner 1.
  • the transversal edges 6 are also rectilinear, parallel to each other and preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal edges 5.
  • opening 3 has an elongated rectangular shape.
  • the closure portions 11 are preferably free from holes or are gas-impermeable, even if in particular embodiments a perforation and flame formation could also be contemplated in the closure portions 11.
  • the entire combustion membrane 7 is preferably free from metal mesh or fabric.
