  • the air Moving through the relatively reduced aspirating passages, the air reaches a high velocity as it exits to the discharge end of the nozzle fuel passage and flows from the nozzle head.
  • This high velocity air produces a suction in the passage 46 and line 48.
  • This suction encounters the flow regulators 49 and successively operates on each regulator to cause its diaphragm to move inwardly of its chamber 54 and, through the medium of control pin 51, induce a movement of the associated valve arm 57.

  • the fuel is caught up in the high velocity air which flows from the aspiratingpassages to be partially atomized thereby and entrained for movement therewith from the head of the nozzle.
  • the fuel-air mixture issues as a fine spray which is caught up in a swirling flow of air which exits from the pockets 64 about the head of the nozzle.
  • the swirling air from the pockets induces a further atomization of the fuel and the resulting highly atomized fuel mixture is induced, in the process, to flow outwardly from the operating face 35, through the flared portion of the cap 68 which defines the entrance to the combustor tube 72.
  • a highly atomized fuel exits through the central aperture in the cap 68 to the combustor tube.
  • it passes the electrodes of the igniter 66 which applies a spark to initiate combustion.
  • the tube 73 is exposed to heat of combustion and is heated thereby.
  • the air which moves about the tube 73 draws heat therefrom in passing.
  • the air from the fan 18 reaches the end of the tube 73, its temperat-ure is highly elevated.
  • a substantial portion of the so-heated air is inherently induced by back pressure to reverse its flow and enter the space between the tube 73 and the combustor tube 72.
  • this process in the embodiment shown, is assisted by the deflector capacity of the spreader portion 76.
  • there is an inherent back pressure on the air flow which per se is capable of inducing a portion of the preheated air to flow between the tubes 73 and 72 and swirl into the combustor tube through its perforations.
  • preheated air is caused to continuously flow about the projected end of the tube 73 and, in part, back in and about the combustor tube to enter the combustor tube in a relatively turbulent condition. This condition causes a thorough mixture of the preheated air and the highly atomized fuel with exists in the cornbustor tube.
  • the temperature of the preheated air is such that on contact therewith the atomized fuel is im- 6 mediately and fully vaporized. It is a consequence of this system, wherein fuel is super-atomized and then vaporized, that on ignition of the fuel as it issues from the the nozzle a non-luminous b'urnin'g occurs in the vicinity of the igniter means and a luminous burning first appears adjacent the outer end of the combustor tube.
  • a further feature of the invention is evidenced by the flow regulators in the fuel supply line. Their simple inclusion produces a condition that fuel will flow to the burner head only on demand. In absence of demand as evidenced by high velocity flowv of air to the nozzle 61, there is a complete and immediate interruption of the system. Thus, the likelihood of afterflow is substantially eliminated. It is alsoa feature of the flow regulating system as applied to an oil burner unit that it enables a completely. integrated unit which is not only more effective in use but extremely compact in character and low in cost. It is to be' noted that the utilization of series related regulators insures that if oneof the control arms 57 is inadvertently lodged in an open position, the other one will nevertheless act as a safety to prevent fuel flow except on proper demand.
  • the present invention provides improvements in oil burner units rendering them more efficient and satisfactory in use and more versatile in application.

  • the sleeve 83 fixedly contains one end of a gun-like tube 84.
  • Tube 84 orients coaxial with a combuster tube 72 and is capped at its projected extremity by a plate 85.
  • the burner unit so modified functions in a manner as described above. It should be noted that even in absence of the flame spreader, the preheated air which flows to exit between the projected extremities of the tube 73 and the housing 74 will inherently be induced in part to reverse its flow to move inwardly between the tube 73 and the combuster tube and enter the combuster tube to function as previously described. The remainder of the preheated air continues in a pattern of flow created by the form of a cap 82 to entrain the visible flame which occurs in the outer end of the combustor tube and project it the length of the tube 84.
  • the exposure of the flame as provided by the apertures 86 in the upper surface portion of the tube 84 enables the application of the burner unit so modified in lieu of a conventional high pressure burner unit.
  • the burner unit described On placing the perforated portion of the tube 84 immediately under the unit to be heated, the burner unit described may be employed with complete safety and without the need for adding an insulated combustion chamber thereabout. Safety is inherent in the manner in which the flame is produced and the character of the flame. A complete vaporization of the fuel particles avoids any problem in reference to noxious odors and fumes.
