This invention relates to an air control "shutter especially designed for use in C011,", nection with the centrifugal fan or blower" of a liquid fuel burner, but, of course, adapted for use with other kinds of burners, re-
gardlessof-the kind of fuel being used.
with a burner operating with a continuous butvariabl'e flame, from a low load flame to a'high load-fiame't-hrough a number-of intermediate heat-s suflicient to maintain the die sired temperature in the home orother building being heated under all usual and ordi naryconditions. This, kind of operation,
therefore,requiresthatoil and air be fed in proper proportions and indefinitepredeter 'More'specifically' stated, the air control shutter of my invention is designed for use mined amounts for the different loads, a very small amount of air beingrequired for;
the low load flame and the maximum amount for the high load flame and amounts in protherefore, the principal object of my invenj portion-for the intermediate loads. It is,"
2 tionto provide a shutter which enables the 'air' adjustments for the different loads to bemade easily andaccurately, the adjustments for all loads fromthe low load flame v through .theintermediate" loads to the high load flame I being each made independently. bythe, set
0 ting of closures] on openings provided for" the different loads whereby to produce the proper combustion throughout the'range of heats and thusmake for economy and efliciency.
Tl ie invention is illustrated in the accomf panyingdrawing wherein Flgure 1 is a side view of the blower show-' ing theair control shutter, of my invention applied thereto 46 Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig.1
' 1 Fig.3 is a face vievv of the movable shutter plate removed. from the blower andhaving none of the closures thereon for the different shuttergopenings; and
Fig. 4 is a similar view of the stationary I shutterplate. p The "same reference numerals are applied to corresponding parts throughout the views; "The-air control shutter is shown mounted onthe' housing '5 of a centrifugal fan 01 1 blower thathas an, air delivery pipe 6 at tached thereto and leading to the combu's I tlon chamber into=which the oil to be burned 7 is delivered.
