- GAS-FIRED HEATER MEANS [72] Inventor: James D. Boucher, Tyler, Tex.
- the present invention provides improved gas-fired heater means for supplying heat to a space, such as a room, house, building or the like.
- the improved heater means includes heat exchanger means for transferring heat generated by the combustion of a fuel gas-air mixture to an air stream circulated between the heat exchanger means and the space, and pressurized combustor means for mixing fuel gas with pressurized air and burning that mixture to provide a source of heat to the heat exchanger means.
- the pressurized combustor means has its discharge fluidconnected to the upper portion of the heat exchanger means, and its vent for exhausting the waste products of combustion to the atmosphere is fluid-connected to the heat exchanger means lower portion.
- This invention relates to means for supplying heat to a space, such as a room, house, building or the like and, more particularly, to improved gas-fired heater means for supplying such heat.
- conventional gas-fired space heater or furnace means have most frequently employed rather crude cast iron or steel heat exchangers having thegeneral shape of a hollow box or clam shell to transfer heat generated by the combustion of a combustible gas-air mixture to an air stream circulated between the heatexchanger and the space to be heated.
- these conventional heat exchangers have usually been combined with similarly unsophisticated combustor or burner means which have been very much like those used in gas cooking ranges and wherein the combustion air that is mixed with the fuel gas is supplied to the burner or combustor at atmospheric conditions.
- the atmospheric combustor is located beneath the heat exchanger and the combustion products rise upwardly by natural convection through the heat exchanger and are discharged to the atmosphere via a vent or flue that is connected to the top of the heat exchanger.
- a cooling unit which provides means for removing heat from the same space air stream.
- the heater means will bedormant during periods of operation of such cooling means, and, when the exterior of the heat exchanger of such conventional heater means is subjected to the chilled space air stream during operation of. the cooling means, this chilling often causes moisture to condense within the warmer interior of the heat exchanger of the dormant heater means.
- the conventional atmospheric burner means are located beneath the heater means heat exchanger, this condensate will be directed by gravity toward the burner and deposited upon it. Collection of such condensate causes deterioration of the burner and will be detrimental to its subsequent operation.
- the aforenoted Abbott patent application describes gasfired heater means which are superior to the aforedescribed conventional means in that they permit considerable weight and volume reduction-in heat exchanger means material by employing a combination of highly efficient heat exchanger means for transferring heat generated by the combustion of a combustible gas-air mixture to an air stream circulated between the heat exchanger means and the space to be heated, and high intensity combustor means for mixing fuel gas with pressurized air to produce and burn the combustible gas-air mixture.
- highly efficient heat exchanger means for transferring heat generated by the combustion of a combustible gas-air mixture to an air stream circulated between the heat exchanger means and the space to be heated
- high intensity combustor means for mixing fuel gas with pressurized air to produce and burn the combustible gas-air mixture.
- pressurized combustor means are located beneath. its heat exchanger means and, thus, are also subject to similar problems from condensate deposition to those previously noted with respect to conventional gas-
- the improved gas-fired space heater means of the present invention is generally similar to that described in the aforenoted Abbott patent application in that it employs a combination of highly efficient heat exchanger means for transferring heat generated by the combustion of a fuel gas air mixture to an air stream circulated between the heat exchanger means and the space to be heated, and high intensity combustor means for mixing fuel gas with pressurized air and burning that mixture to provide a source of heat for the heat exchanger means.
- the discharge outlet from the pressurized combustor means is fluid-connected to the upper portion of the heat exchanger means and the vent for exhausting the waste products of combustion to the atmosphere is fluid-connected to the heat exchanger means lower portion.
- the combustion products will be forced downward through the heat exchanger means and out through the vent by the pressurized air during operation of the combustor means, but condensate which may deposit within the heat exchanger means during dormancy of .the combustor means will be directed away from the combustor means by gravity.

- an airconditioning unit generally designated 10.
- the air-conditioning unit 10 is fluid-connected by right and left hollow conduit means 11 and 12 to a space 13 (shown in block), such as a room, house, building or the like, so as to condition the air contained within the space 13, as by supplying heat to or removing heat from an air stream, indicated by arrows 14, that is circulated between the space 13 and air-conditioning unit 10 through the conduit means 11 and 12 by space air blower means 15.
- the airconditioning unit 10 employs a presently preferred form of the improved gas-fired heater means, generally designated 16, that are provided in accordance with the present invention, to supply heat to the air stream 14, in combination with cooling means, including an evaporator section 17, to remove heat from the air stream 14.
- the air-conditioning unit 10 includes a generally rectangular hollow box-like cabinet 18 that is subdivided by vertically arranged partition 19 into a left compartment 20 and a right compartment 21.
- the cabinet left compartment 20 has an air inlet opening 22 in its upper wall that is fluid-connected to the space 13 by the left conduit means 12, while the upper wall of the cabinet right compartment 21 has an air outlet opening 23 that is fluid-connected to the space 13 by the right conduit means 11.
- the cabinet left compartment 20 houses the cooling means evaporator section 17 and the space air blower means 15, while the cabinet right compartment 21 houses presently preferred forms of heat exchanger means 24 and pressurized combustor means 25 that are combined in accordance with the present invention to produce the improved gas-fired heater means 16.
- the improved heater means 16 of the present invention is generally similar to a form of those described in the aforenoted Abbott patent application except that, in particular accordance with the present invention, the positions of the highly efficient heat exchanger 24 and the high intensity pressurized combustor means 25 are inverted as compared with those described by Abbott and, thus, provide advantages which will be described in detail hereinafter.
- the presently preferred form of the pressurized combustor means 25 includes an inverted, generally horizontally arranged, elongate trough 26 of inverted U-shape having generally vertically arranged, downwardly extending side walls 27 and 28 that are provided with a plurality of apertures along their upper and lower edges to respectively define primary combustion air inlet apertures 29 and secondary combustion air inlet apertures 30.
- Combustion air is introduced into the inverted trough 26 through the primary and secondary combustion air inlet apertures 29 and 30 under pressure that is provided by combustion air blower means 31.
- the combustion air blower 31 is housed in the upper right hand comer of the cabinet right compartment 21 and has its inlet connected to a combustion air intake conduit 32 which extends outwardly from the cabinet 18 through an opening 33 provided in the right side wall thereof.
- the combustion air blower 31 has its outlet connected via a combustion air blower discharge conduit 34 to a box-like combustion air supply plenum 35 that is located around the inverted trough 26.
- a generally horizontally disposed gas supply conduit 36 extends longitudinally through the inverted trough 26' and is provided with plural gas inlet apertures 37 located above the primary combustion-air inlet apertures 29.
- the inlet of the gas supply conduit 36 is connected via an electric control valve 38 of a well-known type to a source (not shown) of pressurized fuel gas, such as natural gas, propane, or the like.
- the fuel gas inlet apertures 37 are arranged such that the gas enters the inverted trough 26 generally parallel to the generally vertically arranged, downwardly extending trough side walls 27 and 28 and is turbulently mixed as indicated by the arrows 39 with the pressurized combustion air that is admitted via the generally horizontally disposed primary combustion air inlet apertures 29.
- the rich combustible fuel gas-air mixture which results i from the turbulent mixing of the pressurized fuel gas that is discharged from the gas inlet apertures 37 with the pressurized air that enters the inverted trough 26 through the primary combustion air inlet apertures 29, moves downwardly through the inverted trough 26 and is ignited by means of a high voltage spark produced in a well-known manner by an electric spark plug 40 or similar igniter device that is generally horizontally arranged at the left end of the inverted trough 26 at a point vertically spaced between the primary combustion air inlet apertures 29 and the secondary combustion air inlet apertures 30.
- the presently preferred form of the highly efficient heat exchanger means 24 that are provided in accordance with the present invention comprises a plurality generally vertically arranged hollow tubes 44.
- the tubes 44 have their upper ends fluid-connected in parallel to the lower end of the interconnecting conduit means 43 provided between the bottom of the inverted trough 26 and the top of the heat exchanger means 24, while their lower ends are fluid-connected in parallel to an exhaust plenum 45, which directs the waste products of combustion to atmospheric exhaust vent means, including a generally elbow-shaped vent pipe 47 having an inlet leg 47a and outlet leg 47b.
- vent pipe inlet leg 47a is connected to the exhaust plenum 45 at the bottom of the heat exchanger 24 and extends outwardly from the air-conditioning unit cabinet 18 through an opening 48 provided in the lower end of the cabinet right side wall, while the vent pipe outlet leg 47! extends upwardly outside the cabinet 18.
- the outwardly extending vent pipe inlet leg 47a is sloped downwardly toward its intersection or elbow 47c with its upwardly extending outlet leg 47b and liquid drain means 47d is provided at its lowest point, as at the bottom of the vent pipe elbow 470.
- the space air blower 15 has its inlet 51 aligned with the air-inlet opening 22 for the cabinet left compartment 20 and has its discharge 52 fluid-connected to the cabinet right compartment 21 via an opening 53 that is provided in the partition 19 and is arranged such that rotation of its impeller 54 by its electric motor 55 will cause the air stream 14 to be circulated between the space 13 and the finned exteriors of the heat exchanger tubes 44.
- the right space air conduit means 1 I serve as means for directing heated air from the air-conditioning unit cabinet 18 to the space 13 or as the so-called warm air conduit means
- the left conduit means 12 serve as means for returning air from the space 13 to the air-conditioning unit cabinet 18 for the reception of heat or as the so-called return air conduit means
- the space air blower 15 serves as a means for circulating air between the space 13 and the improved gas-fired heater means 16 which are provided in accordance with the present invention.
- the products resulting from the combustion of the pressurized fuel gas and combustion air mixture produce the highly intense heat source 42 and they and the heat generated thereby are forced downwardly under the pressure provided by the combustion air blower means 31 through the interconnecting conduit means 43 and the tubes 44 of the inverted heat exchanger 24, with the heat therefrom being transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation, first to the interiors of the tubes 44, then to the finned exteriors of the tubes 44 and finally to the space air stream 14 that is circulated across the finned exterior of the tubes 44 by the space air blower 15.
- the waste products of combustion are forced from the lower ends of the tubes 44 into the exhaust plenum 45 at the bottom of the heat exchanger 24, then outwardly and downwardly through the vent pipe inlet leg 47a and finally upwardly to the atmosphere through the vent pipe outlet leg 47b by the pressurized air supplied by the combustion air blower 31.
- the rate of transfer of heat to the air stream 14 that can be accomplished with the presently preferred form of the inverted heat exchanger means 24 is similar to that of the upright means described in the aforenoted Abbott patent application, and typically is at least 3,500 BTU of heat per hour per pound of material that is used in the tubes 44 and the fins 49, a rate far exceeding any previously achieved with the rather crude prior art boxlike or clam shell shaped heat exchangers which have heretofore been commonly employed in gas-fired space heaters.
- cooling means evaporator section 17 which is housed within the left cabinet portion 20 of the airconditioning unit 10, is interposed between the cabinet air inlet 22 and the inlet 51 for the space air blower 15, whereby, during periods of operation of the, cooling means 16 and dormancy of combustor means of the gas-fired heater means 16, the space air stream 14 will be chilled by passage through the cooling means evaporator section 17 prior to its passage across the heat exchanger tubes 44 of the dormant heater means 16 enroute to the space 13 via the right conduit means 1 1.
