Definitions

  • FIG. 3 is a side view of a heat exchanger section of the heat exchanger in FIG. 2A .
  • the present invention relates generally to burner systems and, more specifically, relates to a heat exchanger for a burner.
  • the heat exchanger is provided in an appliance, such as a furnace 10 .
  • the furnace 10 includes a heat exchanger 20 , vestibule panel 40 , burner 50 , gasket 60 , and an inducer blower 68 ( FIG. 2A ).
  • the furnace 10 can include the heat exchanger 20 , vestibule panel 40 a , burner 50 , gasket 60 , and a secondary heat exchanger 80 (see FIG. 2B ).
  • the burner 50 can be positioned nearer the bottom of the vestibule panel 40 ( FIG. 2A ) or nearer the top of the vestibule panel 40 a ( FIG. 2B ) depending on the configuration of the appliance 10 .
  • the remainder of the description is directed to the appliance 10 component configuration of FIG. 2A unless otherwise noted.
  • the vestibule panel 40 can be planar and includes opposing sides 42 , 44 .
  • a layer of thermal insulation (not shown) can line at least a portion of the side 44 .
  • First openings 43 and second openings 45 extend entirely through the vestibule panel 40 between the sides 42 , 44 .
  • the number of first openings 43 and second openings 45 each corresponds with the number of heat exchanger sections 22 .
  • the first openings 43 are positioned nearer the bottom of the vestibule panel 40 .
  • the second openings 45 are positioned nearer the top of the vestibule panel 40 .
  • the first openings 43 could, however, be located nearer the top of the vestibule panel 40 a (see FIG. 2B ).
