Description
“A boiler”
Introduction
The present invention relates to a boiler and in particular to an enclosed boiler, such
as an oil fired boiler.
There are many constructions of such boilers and the present invention is specifically
directed to improvements in the invention of European Patent No. EP 0 616 6763,
the disclosure of which is included herein in it's entirety by way of reference. This is a
very efficient construction of enclosed boiler. However, since this invention was
devised there have been developments directed to improving the combustion of
gases within the combustion chamber of this boiler.
With boilers of this type flame and gases are delivered from an oil burner into a
combustion chamber within which they are bumed. However, with present boiler
configurations there is often incomplete combustion of fuels within the combustion
chamber due to the incomplete formation of the flames produced by the burner. This
is problematic as it reduces the efficiency of the combustion process, which in turn
reduces the fuel efficiency of the boiler. Furthermore, the incomplete combustion of
gases within the combustion chamber will also cause quantities of unburned
dangerous combustibles to be emitted from the boiler which is particularly dangerous
as these gases, which will typically include carbon monoxide, are often highly
explosive and poisonous. Moreover, the damage caused to the environment by such
gas emissions is also significant, and with ever more stringent laws evolving the
increased costs associated with environmental compliance are now being passed
gantqtgasr producers.
\ ‘I .
To increase gas combustion within boiler combustion chambers it is known to
increase the capacity of the combustion chamber. For example, French Patent No.
71.09084 (to Perinelle) describes a boiler enclosure mounting a cylindrical pot which
has an open end facing a fuel burner and has disposed on its external wall a plurality
of fins or baffles. The provision of such an open cylindrical pot within the boiler
enclosure provides an additional capacity within the enclosure which enables the
"‘ ‘ ‘D
flame produced by the fuel burner to fully develop and therefore go some way
towards completely burning the fuel supplied thereto. This prior art configuration for a
boiler is however difficult to maintain and is not optimally fuel efficient.
It is a therefore one object of the present invention to provide an improved
construction of boiler of the aforesaid type which goes someway toward
overcoming at least the above problems, and/or which will provide the public and/or
industry with a useful choice. it is a further object of the present invention is to
provide an improved boiler based on the principles of the boiler described in the
aforementioned European Patent No. 06166768.
It is acknowledged that the term ‘comprise’ may, under varying jurisdictions be
provided with either an exclusive or inclusive meaning. For the purpose of this
specification, and unless othenrvise noted explicitly, the term comprise shall have
an inclusive meaning — i.e. that it may be taken to mean an inclusion of not only the
listed components it directly references, but also other non—specified components.
Accordingly, the term ‘comprise’ is to be attributed with as broader interpretation as
possible within any given jurisdiction and this rationale should also be used when
the terms ‘comprised’ and/or ‘comprising’ are used.
Further aspects of the present invention will become apparent form the ensuing
description which is given by way of example only.
Statements of Invention
According to the invention, there is provided an enclosed boiler comprising:
‘ T’ I‘: "1 .
a substantially rectangular heat exchange combustion enclosure formed
by a base wall, upstanding side walls on the base and a top wall, at
least a portion of which walls are hollow for containing system water,
a gas inlet located adjacent the base wall and a gas discharge outlet
located adjacent the top wall,
a plurality of heat transferring baffle plate assemblies, each stacked one
above the other within the enclosure and comprising a substantially
rectangular baffle base plate which is configured to fit relatively snugly
transversely across the enclosure, which baffle base plate is also one of
a lower baffle base plate, an intermediate baffle base plate and an
upper baffle base plate, the lower baffle base plate and intermediate
baffle base plates each having upstanding thereon an endless deflector
baffle plate having an outer facing peripheral wall and an inner facing
peripheral wall,
wherein the base wall fon'ns, with the upstanding side walls below the
lower baffle base plate, a combustion chamber, and the lower baffle
base plate and intermediate baffle base plates each have a central hole
which, with the inner facing peripheral wall of the deflector baffle plates
on the lower baffle base plate and intermediate baffle base plates, form
a combustion chamber extension cavity. which combustion chamber
extension cavity extends upwards from the combustion chamber
between those inner facing peripheral walls to the underside of the
upper baffle base plate,
and wherein each base plate also comprises a comer cut-out portion
adjacent one comer forming one of a base plate inlet and outlet so that
the outer facing peripheral walls of deflector baffle plates and the base
plates of each heat transferring baffle plate assembly, and the
underside of the base plate of the heat transferring baffle plate
, assembly stacked on it form, with the side walls of the enclosure, a
” passageway for leading combustion gases from the base plate gas inlet
formed in the lower baffle base plate and then back and forth across the
enclosure and out of the gas discharge outlet.
The provision of a combustion cavity in communication with the combustion chamber
provides additional capacity within the boiler so that the flames produced by the
burner will be able to fully develop, which will in turn facilitate greater fuel combustion
than hereto before. Furthermore, such a boiler will also provide an increase in heat
transfer efficiency. This is because the hot gases produced will be giving up a high
proportion of their heat against the inward facing peripheral walls of the deflector
baffle plates whilst still occupying the combustion cavity, which deflector baffle plates,
it will be appreciated, are in contact with the base plates, which are themselves in
contact with the side walls of the boiler. Such overall heat transfer is not alone more
efficient, but will have the effect of reducing distortion of the baffle plate assemblies.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inward facing peripheral walls of the deflector
baffle plates and the underside of the upper baffle base plate are together arranged
to turn the gases through between 180° and 360° when in the combustion chamber
extension cavity, which turning causes the gases to evacuate the combustion
chamber extension cavity via the combustion chamber and through the base plate
gas inlet formed on the lower baffle base plate.
Turning the gases in this way will cause the gases to lick the inward facing peripheral
walls of the deflector baffle plates, which will further aid heat transfer efficiency of the
boiler.
In another embodiment of the invention, each heat transferring baffle plate assembly
is separately removable from within the boiler enclosure.
Such an arrangement will enable the boiler to be easily accessed so that each baffle
plate assembly in the stack of assemblies can be removed for cleaning.
In one embodiment of the invention, the endless deflector baffle plates upstanding on
‘'0 Koachff 9;? lower baffle base plate and intermediate baffle base plates comprise:
4. 53* ft, ""3
a pair of side deflector baffle plates each substantially parallel with and
spaced apart from a side wall of the boiler, which side deflector baffle plates
are integrally fixed to,
a front substantially V-shaped deflector baffle plate having an open mouth
forming an inner wall of the combustion chamber extension cavity and an
apex which abuts a portion of the front wall of the boiler to follow the contour
of the corner cut-outs in the base plates to direct gases into and out of the
passageway formed by the stacked baffle plate assemblies, and
a rear deflector baffle plate substantially parallel with and spaced apart from
the rear wall of the boiler.
The advantage of such a configuration of baffle plates is that they provide a better
support for stacking one on top of another and also each other and there is less
warping of the baffle plate assemblies in use.
In one embodiment of the invention, there is upstanding on the upper baffle base
plate a single deflector baffle plate which is substantially parallel with and spaced
apart from a side wall of the boiler substantially near the corner cut—out in the upper
baffle base plate.
Preferably, hot gases and flame are delivered to the boiler through the gas inlet.
In one embodiment of the invention, the boiler is down fired, the gas inlet being
provided adjacent the top wall and the gas discharge outlet being provided adjacent
the base wall.
Detaileg Description of the Invention
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description of some
embodiments thereof, given by way of example only, with reference to the
accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective partially cut-away view of a boiler according to the
in {'l'lVe|7:tl0n,,% _ V‘ E
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the boiler shown in Fig. 1,
Fig. 3 is an exploded view of a number of baffle plate assemblies, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the baffle plate assemblies shown in Fig. 3
stacked on top of one another,
Referring to the drawings, and initially to Fig. 1 thereof, there is illustrated an
The boiler 1
comprises a substantially rectangular heat exchange combustion chamber, indicated
enclosed boiler, indicated generally by the reference numeral 1.
generally by the reference numeral 2, having a base wall 3, a top wall 4 and
upstanding side walls 5, at least a portion of which side walls 5 are hollow for
containing system water which is circulated through the side walls 5 in conventional
manner. Also shown is a gas inlet 6 located substantially adjacent the base wall 3 for
delivering hot gases and flame to the boiler 1, and a gas outlet 7 located adjacent the
top wall 4 through which exhaust gases leave the boiler 1.
Mounted within the enclosure are a plurality of heat transferring baffle plate
assemblies, indicated generally by the reference numerals 8, 9, 10 and 11. It will be
noted that the heat transferring baffle plate assemblies 8, 9, 10 and 11 are stacked
one on top of the other (as shown in Fig. 4) within the enclosure 2. In the instance
shown, the baffle plate assembly 8 comprises a lower baffle base plate 12, the baffle
plate assemblies 9 and 10 each respectively comprise an intermediate baffle base
plate 13 and 14, and the baffle plate assembly 11 comprises an upper baffle base
plate 15. The lower baffle base plate 12 and intermediate baffle base plates 13 and
14 each have mounted thereon an upstanding endless deflector baffle plate 16, 17
and 18, which deflector baffle plates have an outer facing peripheral side wall 20 and
an inner facing peripheral side wall 21 (see Fig. 3). The upper baffle base plate 15
has upstanding thereon a single deflector baffle plate 19 which is substantially
rectangular and parallel with and spaced apart from a side wall 5 of the boiler
enclosure 2. It is optimally located near a corner of the upper baffle base plate 15.
“it J_l'll>uld' falso\be appreciated that each base plate 12, 13, 14 and 15 is substantially
‘rectangular and configured to fit relatively snugly transversely across the enclosure
between the side walls 5. The lower baffle base plate 12 may, for example, be
mounted on inwardly directed lugs or support plates extending from the side walls 5.
Referring now to Fig. 2, with parts similar to those described with reference to Fig. 1
above also identified by the same reference numerals, there is shown the base wall 3
which forms, with the upstanding side walls 5 below the lower baffle base plate 12, a
combustion chamber 22.
With specific reference to Fig. 3, again with parts similar to those already described
identified by the same reference numerals, the lower baffle base plate 12 and the
intermediate baffle base plates 13 and 14 each have a central hole 23, which form,
with the inner facing peripheral walls 21 of the deflector baffle plates 16, 17 and 18, a
combustion chamber extension cavity 24 (see Fig. 2). It should be understood that
the extension cavity 24 extends upwards from the combustion chamber 22 between
the inner facing peripheral walls 21 of the deflector baffle plates 16, 17 and 18 to the
underside 25 of the upper baffle base plate 15. Such an extension cavity 24 provides
additional capacity within the boiler enclosure 2 to facilitate the full development of
combustion flames which enter the combustion chamber 22 through the gas inlet 6 to
therefore provides better combustion of combustibles within the enclosure 2.
Each baffle base plate 12, 13, 14 and 15 further comprises a comer cut-out portion
(see Fig. 3) which forms one of a base plate gas inlet and a base plate gas outlet.
The inner facing peripheral walls 21 of the deflector baffle plates 16, 17 and 18 and
the underside 25 of the upper baffle base plate 15 are together arranged to turn the
gases through between 180° and 360° when in the combustion chamber extension
cavity 24. Such turning will facilitate the evacuation of exhaust gases from the
extension cavity 24 via the combustion chamber 22 and out of the comer cut-out
portion 26 in the lower baffle base plate 12. The direction of such gas flow through
the boiler 1 is indicated in Fig. 2 by the directional arrows shown.
‘ Asthe position of the heat transferring baffle plate assemblies 8, 9, 10 and 11 within
'5' the’ boiler 1, as well as the location of the corner cut-out portions 26 in the baffle base
plates 12, 13, 14 and 15 are generally the same as that described in European
Patent No. 06166763 they will not therefore be further described herein. The only
exception to this is in the uppermost heat transferring baffle plate assembly 11,
which, as already described, comprises only a single upstanding deflector baffle plate
19 on the upper baffle base plate 15.
Accordingly, and as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the outer facing peripheral walls 20 of the
deflector baffle plates 16, 17 18, and 19 and the baffle base plates 12, 13, 14 and 15
form, with the underside of the base plate stacked on it and the side walls 5 of the
enclosure 2, a passageway for leading combustion gases from the corner cut-out
portion 26 formed in the lower baffle base plate 12 and then back and forth across
the enclosure 2 and out of the gas outlet 7.
in operation. as can be seen from Figs. 1 and 2, the combustion gases initially pass
under pressure from the combustion chamber extension cavity 24 down to the
combustion chamber 22 and then rise through the cut-out portion 26 in the lower
baffle base plate 12 and then move along the side wall 5 of the boiler in a clockwise
direction around the deflector baffle plate 16. The gases then rise up the cut-out
portion 26 formed in the intermediate baffle base plate 13 and then move along the
side wall 5 of the boiler in a counter-clockwise direction around the deflector baffle
plate 17 and on up through the cut-out portion in the intermediate baffle base plate
14. This movement of gases through the passageway formed continues until the
gases emerge through the cut-out portion 26 in the upper baffle base plate 15, which
gases are then delivered out of the boiler through the gas outlet 7 which will generally
be connected to a standard boiler gas exhaust flue. It should appreciate that the
number of passes made by the gases may be increased by simply providing
additional heat transferring baffle plate assemblies.
Each heat transferring baffle plate assembly 8, 9, 10 and 11 is separately removable
from within the boiler enclosure 2 so the boiler 1 may be cleaned.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment hereinbefore described, but may be
varied in both construction and detail within the scope of the claims.
