Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a pore burner, especially for cooking appliances, with a housing having at least one inlet for gas/air mixture as fuel and/or at least one inlet for air and/or at least one inlet for gas and/or at least one outlet for air and/or gas and/or exhaust, as well as a cooking appliance containing at least one pore burner.
  • the invention also concerns a pore burner system, as well as the use of pore burners and pore burner systems for heat and/or steam generation in cooking appliances and heating appliances, as well as finally these cooking and heating appliances.
  • Pore burners are adequately known to one skilled in the art. These generally involve a burner with a stipulated combustion chamber volume with spatially connected cavities, through which or in which a defined flame zone is formed. Variants of known pore burners are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,522,723, WO 95/01532, DE 199 39 951 A1 and DE 199 04 921 C2. For example, by means of pore burners the size of industrial and household steam and hot water vessels can be reduced, since the heat energy is released both by radiation and by heat conduction so that the convective fraction of heat transfer is reduced.
  • a housing vessel is described in DE 199 04 921 C2 that includes a pore burner suitable for heating of liquids, in addition to a radiation heat exchanger and a convection heat exchanger.
  • a large water space vessel for generation of steam and/or hot water equipped with a pore burner is found in DE 198 04 267 A1.
  • Filler packings according to DE 199 39 951 A1 accordingly have at least two zones of packing material with different pore size.
  • WO 95/01532 also deals with the problem of generating a stable flame at low temperature and low pollutant emission. It can be gathered from this document that the porosity of the pore burner is changed along the combustion chamber so that the pore size increases in the flow direction of the gas/air mixture from the inlet to the outlet. The employed porous material of the pore burner is again obtained by a packing, for example, in the form of loosely layered grains that are solidified in a sintering process. Finally, basic variants for pore burner technology are described in EP 0 840 061 A1 and in DE-OS 2 211 297.
  • a high degree of flame stability, the prevention of flashback and ensuring a uniform and constant flame front in a flat flame burner can regularly be obtained only with a porous material of high homogeneity, since otherwise a nonuniform flow profile generally results.
  • a porous matrix with sufficiently high homogeneity, however, for the most part can only be implemented up to a stipulated component size. For larger dimensioned burner units, trade-offs with respect to uniform flow profile and therefore the accompanying properties must therefore regularly be tolerated.
  • Pore burners now available are often also characterized by the fact that, when fully premixed gas/air mixtures are used, sharply differing compositions as well as very variable volume flows can be implemented at low surface load. Especially when a homogeneous gas mixture is used, very low exhaust emissions are obtained.
  • ignition by spark ignition often fails. Even when spark ignition occurs under the conditions just outlined, the energy introduced by the sparks is often only sufficient for local ignition of the gas mixture because of the desired stabilization of the reaction zone in the vicinity of the porous material. Liberated heat of reaction is absorbed by the surrounding material so that energy is removed from the gas mixture in the ignition zone and the chain branching reactions required for flame formation are suppressed.
  • the task underlying the present invention was therefore to make pore burners available for cooking appliances in particular and to modify the generic pore burners so that they are no longer burdened with the drawbacks of the generic pore burners and, in particular, have a high degree of flame stability and homogeneity, especially when designed as flat burners or flat flame burners. Accordingly, another underlying task of the present invention was to modify a generic cooking appliance so that it can be heated with high energy efficiency constantly and efficiently from an ecological standpoint with the lowest possible operating costs. Finally, another task underlying the present invention was to furnish a pore burner that guarantees improved ignition regardless of the energy content of the fuel mixture or the condition of the pore burner and helps to avoid delayed ignition.
  • pore burners with a housing having sintered metal powder and/or especially pressed metal wire mesh in the form of at least one dimensionally stable, porous molded element, on whose surface and/or in whose pore spaces reaction zones for flame development are present to form a flat burner.
  • the entire molded element surface can also represent the outlet of the pore burner according to the invention, because of the porous structure and optionally also without a defined, large-surface outlet, for example, on one end of the housing.
  • the pore burner according to the invention regularly has at least one inlet for a gas/air mixture as fuel.
  • the pore burner or housing of the pore burner can have at least one additional inlet for air and/or an additional inlet for gas.
  • additional inlet for air can be used as secondary air or also for the cooling of components of the pore burner.
  • So-called fully premixing burner systems are used preferably, especially in cooking appliances.
  • the pore burner according to the invention can be used, for example, for heat and/or steam generation in cooking appliances, especially gas-heated cooking appliances and also in heating appliances, like heating vessels or gas heating appliances, for example, in the household, especially when using cylindrical combustion chambers.
  • the pore burners according to the invention used in cooking appliances, for example, can represent partially premixing and especially fully premixing pore burners.
  • the burners can be a cylindrical tube preferably closed on one end.
  • the application of gas outlet openings distributed on the periphery of the tube has also been shown to work.
  • the molded element be an essentially hollow element, especially a hollow cylinder.
  • Appropriate hollow elements can also have arbitrary geometric shapes, for example, an ellipse, triangle, square, rectangle or any polygon in cross section.
  • Appropriate hollow elements can also fully dispense with a defined, large-surface outlet opening and be designed, for example, as an ellipse, sphere or cylinder with only at least one defined opening for inlet of the gas/air mixture.
  • the molded elements include at least one mounting and/or fastening element, especially a groove, a tongue, a flange and/or a thread.
  • Mounting and fastening elements can be integrated with the pore burners according to the invention already in the dimensionally stable molded elements, for example, from pressed metal wire mesh, so that the production costs of the pore burner according to the invention can be reduced and production for large series can be implemented much more easily.
  • the dimensionally stable molded element can also be simply welded on for fastening, for example, on the tube to supply the fuel mixture. This can be achieved in particularly simple fashion, if both the tube and the dimensionally stable molded element have corresponding cross-sections and the molded element is configured cylindrical and the tube has a circular cross-section.
  • the mounting and fastening device is incorporated directly in the porous molded element material of the pore burner.
  • a thread can be made in the pore element. Consequently, no additional mounting or fastening devices and no joining technique for coupling to the pore burner are required.
  • pore burners containing at least two molded elements lying one against the other in form-fit fashion at least in sections are present, which are connected to each other in areas, preferably to form a groove.
  • large-dimensioned pore burners can also be made without having to tolerate drawbacks with respect to uniform gas passage or uniform flow profile.
  • Two or more assembled molded elements can enter into a stable connection via a bevel or groove. It is particularly advantageous if the adjacent molded elements can be joined or inserted one in the other flush and firmly, for example, via a groove/tongue structure, without requiring additional fastening devices. However, it can be necessary to permanently fasten coupled molded elements by means of spot welding.
  • the molded elements are then preferably only joined together at very few adjacent sites and secured against loosening. A constant material density therefore remains even in the region of joints so that a uniform flow profile is guaranteed.
  • the variant just described pore burners of larger size become accessible, which have an extremely uniform flow profile over their entire burner surface.
  • the dimensionally stable molded elements, especially hollow elements are designed in their end regions or head surfaces so that they correspond to each other in shape so that the front region of one molded element is inserted to fit in the rear region of another molded element, especially one of identical design. Pore burners can therefore be obtained that can be arbitrarily extended in length without having to tolerate the drawbacks with respect to homogeneity.
  • the pore burner according to the invention can be converted as such to a stable shape or be present in a stable shape configured so that two or more such pore burners can be connected to each other.
  • adjacent pore burner segments to be connected to each other can be configured on their sections being coupled so that they can be inserted one into the other without requiring additional fastening devices.
  • the open end section of one pore burner segment can be provided with at least one groove that can be connected to fit with an end section of an adjacent pore burner segment provided with at least one tongue. The shape stability of the employed pore burners is then already achieved during production by sintering of metal powder and pressing of metal wire mesh without requiring additional mechanical support elements.
  • pore burners or pore burner segments can be coupled to each other by means of the aforementioned joining technique to form a uniform pore burner.
  • the end piece of this combined pore burner then preferably has a closure, for example, in the form of porous burner material so that the pore burner has no outlet opening.
  • a one-piece pore burner like a pore burner segment, can be configured both cylindrically and conically. The same applies to a pore burner formed from several pore burner segments. The pore burner then preferably tapers in the direction toward the end.
  • the material densities of at least two adjacent molded elements essentially correspond.
  • Another embodiment according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the surface of the molded element has at least one irregularity, especially at least one indentation and/or elevation that deviates from the base surface of the molded element.
  • indentations and/or elevations i.e. irregularities in the surface of the molded element
  • formation of an essentially two-dimensional reaction zone is regularly prevented.
  • Such surfaces which do not have a continuously uniform surface and therefore uniformly repeating structures are preferred accordingly.
  • molded elements especially hollow elements with different material thicknesses, especially if they are based on a sintered metal powder.
  • the surface of the dimensionally stable, especially pressed metal wire mesh is already sufficiently irregular in general as such in order to suppress the described resonance phenomenon, but naturally can also have different thicknesses.
  • one variant proposes that the wall thickness of one molded element be varied and especially that it have at least two different thicknesses.
  • the wall thickness of one hollow element in this variant does not have to be constant within it.
  • Preferred pore burners according to the present invention are flat flame burners.
  • Particularly preferred pore burners are characterized by the fact that the molded element has a compressed density in the range from about 2.5 to about 5 g/cm 3 , especially about 2.8 to about 4.5 g/cm 3 , at least in areas, especially in the area of the metal wire mesh.
  • Lower press densities generally require lower blower power because of the smaller pressure losses, whereas more uniform reaction zones can be achieved with higher press densities.
  • the pressed metal wire meshes according to the invention just like the sintered metal powder molded parts, are already stable as such and do not require any stabilizing elements, for example, in the form of perforated sheets, in order to produce functionally capable flat flame burners, for example, to provide mixture guiding or for shaping.
  • the porosity of the pore burner according to the invention based on pressed wire meshes can also be influenced by the wire thickness, i.e., the wire diameter and/or the number of pressed wires in the mesh.
  • the wire thickness i.e., the wire diameter and/or the number of pressed wires in the mesh.
  • the wire mesh consists only of a relatively thick wire
  • the pore burner generally has relatively large pores with essentially corresponding pore sizes. If, on the other hand, three wires with smaller diameters are used, pores of different size are generally obtained with the same compressed density, which, however, generally lies on the average below the variant just described.
  • the metal wire mesh be axially or radially wound before pressing.
  • Pore burners according to the present invention are also preferred with which surface loads in the range from 20 to 300 W/cm 2 , especially from 30 to 260 W/cm 2 are accessible. Accordingly, in the pore burners according to the invention the flame does not go out even at 200 W/cm 2 or more.
  • the maximum surface load is then often restricted not by the wire mesh but by the feed power of the air and/or gas feed.
  • the surface load lower limit is regularly formed by the fact that the flame is extinguished as a result of high heat conduction on contact with the metal surface.
  • the pore burner according to the invention therefore permits a very broad range of possible operating states between flame extinction on the one hand and flame raising on the other, and therefore also a power modulation range of 1:5 or more.
  • incandescence will occur at higher powers and at higher air ratios the surface only radiates at very low power.
  • the percentage of heat transported by radiation from the reaction zone becomes increasingly larger.
  • the metal powder and/or metal wire mesh includes at least one metal and/or metal alloy that forms an oxide layer, especially a metal alloy containing chromium and/or aluminum.
  • Heat-resistant materials for example, heat-resistant steels, are considered appropriate metals and metal alloys for the metal powders being sintered and especially for the wire mesh. These include, for example, high-alloy steels, like low-carbon austenitic chromium, nickel and manganese steels.
  • the heat-resistant steel 1.4828 (X15 CrNiSi 20-12) can be referred to as an example.
  • Those metal or metal alloys that can form an oxide layer on their surface are also readily suited so that the molded articles can be provided with a protective layer.
  • Particularly appropriate metal alloys have aluminum and/or chromium fractions or consist of these metals.
  • An appropriate material for example, is the alloy with material number 1.4767 (CrAl 20 5), as well as alloys with the material number 1.47675.
  • a pore burner having at least one distribution device for deliberate alignment of one part of the gas and/or air stream and/or the gas/air mixture stream, which can be arranged and/or molded at least in sections in the hollow element of the pore burner, so that part of the air and/or gas stream or the gas/air mixture stream can be distributed in a manner so that the inside wall of the hollow element experiences a nonhomogeneous pressure distribution, especially in the region of the distribution device.
  • the gas/air mixture enters the cavity essentially uniformly in ordinary pore burner cavities
  • the gas/air mixture is fed to this selected region on the inside wall with a stronger pressure than to the surrounding areas of the hollow element.
  • the distribution device represents a baffle plate.
  • the distribution device includes essentially metallic and/or ceramic materials and is made, for example, from stainless steel.
  • the distribution device can be present, for example, in the form of a plate or a three-dimensional structure, for example, a wedge, at least in sections in the hollow element as long as it is guaranteed that the gas entering the hollow element is diverted partly to one region of the inside wall of the hollow element.
  • the distribution device can be an arbitrarily shaped diversion or deflection structure extending obliquely, i.e., at an angle, into the hollow element.
  • the distribution device, especially the baffle plate can have not only a diversion or deflection surface, but be arbitrarily shaped, provided that mounting and/or the configuration of the distribution device permits partial deflection, as just explained, of the entering combustion gas.
  • the distribution device or baffle plate can have a round, oval or angular cross-section.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the distribution device can always be easily adjusted to the cross-sectional shape of the pore burner hollow element.
  • the distribution device or baffle plate can also be configured kinked, annular, step-like or bent.
  • the distribution device or baffle plate has at least one passage or opening.
  • the size of the passages in the distribution device is variable. In this manner it is possible, for example, to immediately react to changes in composition of the fuel mixture in order to guarantee continuous, uniform flame formation over the entire pore burner.
  • the pore burners according to the invention can also have at least one burner tube for air and/or gas that can be connected to an inlet of the pore burner.
  • This burner tube is generally a component of the supply line.
  • the distribution device can be present both in sections in the hollow element and also in the burner tube or be fully present in it or mounted in it.
  • the distribution device can be fastened at least in sections to the burner tube and/or hollow element. Generally it is sufficient if the distribution device is fastened via one or two spot welds on the inside of the burner tube. In this case it has proven advantageous, if the distribution device has no direct connection to the hollow element.
  • Another advantageous embodiment is characterized by the fact that the deflection surface of the distribution device, especially the baffle plate, is sloped relative to the center axis of the hollow element, especially of the hollow cylinder.
  • a slight slope, for example, of the baffle plate relative to the center axis of the hollow element is already sufficient to supply a selected region on the inside surface of the pore burner hollow element with the fuel mixture in a preferential fashion, i.e., with a higher pressure.
  • Slope angles in the range from 10 to 45°, especially from 15 to 30° have proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the distribution device can naturally also have a blade shape or be bent.
  • the maximum cross-sectional surface of the distribution device in the direction of flow of the gas/air mixture is more than 50%, preferably 55 to 75% of the cross-sectional surface of the hollow element in the region of the distribution device.
  • sufficient combustion gas should always go past the edges of the distribution device and/or pass through openings in it into the sections of the pore burner hollow element that follow the distribution device.
  • pore burner systems as object, which include at least one feed tube for air and/or gas, which can be connected to an inlet of the pore burner, and/or at least one ignition device.
  • At least one inlet of a dimensionally stable molded element be connected via a mounting and/or fastening element, especially a flange and/or a thread, to at least one feed tube and/or burner tube for air and/or gas.
  • At least one inlet of a dimensionally stable molded element be at least partially welded to at least one feed tube and/or burner tube and/or gas.
  • the ignition device be arranged in the region of the outside of the hollow element in the region on whose corresponding inside the distribution device has the smallest spacing.
  • the ignition device for example, ignition electrode, accordingly preferably lies where the diverted combustion gas mixture emerges from the pore burner wall so that the flame is regularly ignited with the first ignition spark.
  • the reaction front continuously propagates afterward.
  • the task is also solved by a cooking appliance, especially a gas-heated cooking appliance containing at least one pore burner, especially a pore burner according to the invention or a pore burner system according to the invention.
  • a cooking appliance especially a gas-heated cooking appliance containing at least one pore burner, especially a pore burner according to the invention or a pore burner system according to the invention.
  • Gas-heated cooking appliances especially those with a pore burner that functions as a flat burner or flat flame burner are preferably resorted to.
  • the smallest cooking appliances, for example, kitchen cooking appliances can then also be equipped with pore burners, especially pore burners according to the invention just like large cooking appliances that are used in large kitchens, for example.
  • Appropriate areas of application for the pore burners according to the invention include steam cooking appliances or also so-called Combi-steamers.
  • Pore burners are therefore provided with a porous material of high homogeneity and uniform flow profile that have a uniform and constant flame front as surface burners and are suitable in particular as flat flame burners.
  • a quasi-two-dimensional flat flame is maintained over the entire burner surface with the pore burners according to the invention.
  • the cooking appliances according to the invention have a very high efficiency and can be operated with exceptional ecological efficiency, for example, resource-sparing and low-pollution.
  • the heat input is then very uniform and can also be precisely regulated and controlled directly and simply.
  • the properties just described can also surprisingly be implemented with cooking appliances according to the invention that are dimensioned small.
  • the cooking appliances according to the invention can therefore be used both in large kitchens, for example, cafeteria operations, and also in restaurants and guest houses. Cooking appliances with flat burners accommodated in them are therefore accessible without difficulty.
  • the pore burner according to the invention functions without problem and reliably under a wide variety of reaction conditions just because of this not very demanding design expedient. It is also advantageous that no trade-offs need be made with respect to the compact design of the pore burners. It is of particular advantage that the spacing between the surface of the pore burner and the combustion chamber boundary can be kept very low. This could not be easily achieved with ordinary burner types, since increased flow velocities always accompany a reduction in spacing, which thus far has often led to the extinguishing of flames. In addition, a persistently high degree of flame stability is achieved and flashback is essentially fully prevented.

  • FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the pore burner system 3 ′ or pore burner 4 ′′ according to FIG. 3 .
  • the baffle plate 100 is arranged sloped in the same direction both in burner tube 24 and in the pore burner.
  • a uniform angle can be used, for example, in the range of 20 to 25°.
  • the pore burner 4 ′′ has a groove 18 incorporated in the pore burner material in the connection region with the burner tube, which is already sufficient to ensure reliable connection to the burner tube 24 . It is likewise possible to provide a thread in the pore burner material in the region of the outer wall, which leads to a secure connection to a counter-thread applied to the burner tube 24 .
  • baffle plate 100 a gas mixture can be guided accordingly so that a locally limited pressure increase occurs in the region of the inside of the pore burner present as a hollow element.
  • This design is also advantageous to maintain a flame in a cold burner.
  • a blower is provided in order to introduce the gas mixture to the pore burner hollow element or an existing blower is equipped with increased power, since the pressure losses are generally increased by incorporation of a baffle plate.
