  • a first object of the present invention is to obtain a high temperature, high velocity hot gas stream by conducting high fuel throughput combustion in a combustion chamber of a gas burner, without attaching a special device to said gas burner.
  • a second object of the invention is to modify a conventional heating furnace in a manner such that it is adapted to use such a high velocity gas burner and to enable said gas burner to exhibit its characteristic features in said furnace, thereby to simplify the heating furnace and improve the temperature distribution in said heating furnace.
  • FIGS. la and 1b are a vertical cross-sectional view and a partial front elevation view of an embodiment of the high velocity gas burner according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 1c and 1d are similar views of a slightly modified embodiment of the gas burner
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary transverse cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a heating furnace provided with the high velocity gas burner of FIGS. la and lb;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line III- III of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the heating furnace provided with the high velocity gas burner of FIGS. 10 and 1d;
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevation view of still another embodiment of a heating furnace provided with the high velocity gas burner of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line VI---VI of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7 is a vertical cross-sectional view of still another embodiment of a heating furnace comprising in combination the high velocity gas burners of the invention and low velocity gas burners;
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line VIIlVIlI of FIG. 7.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a combustion chamber of a gas burner according to the invention defined by a burner tile 2 and at one end of the combustion chamber is formed a tapered nozzle 3 having a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the combustion chamber 1.
  • the tapered nozzle 3 may be formed on the center line of the burner as shown in FIGS. 10 and 1d, or at right angles or a suitable angle to said center line as shown in FIGS. 1a and lb.
  • the nozzle end preferably has a slit-like shape as shown, because the slit-like shape is advantageous over a circular shape with the same cross-sectional area in that the surface area of the jet of gases discharged from the nozzle can be made larger and in that the jet of gases expands greatly when the gas burner is mounted in a heating furnace.
  • a back flow of combustion gases is formed within the combustion chamber in a direction reverse to the jetting direction of the combustion gases, which provides for thorough mixing of fuel gas and air, and also smooth high fuel throughput combustion.
  • Reference numeral 4 designates an air flow equalizing plate having a number of air passage holes 5 formed therein.
  • the air flow equalizing plate 4 is connected to the inner end of a gas pipe 6 extending along the center line of the burner and located within the combustion chamber 1. While in the embodiment shown, the air flow equalizing plate 4 has a cross-sectional shape which expands in the direction of jetting, i.e., into chamber 1, it may be at right angles to the center line of the burner. Further, the angle of the air flow equalizing plate 4 to the center line of the burner can be changed according to the purpose of the high velocity gas burner of the invention. This air flow equalizing plate 4 serves to promote mixing of the fuel gas with air and also to retain flames therein or throughout.
  • the presence of a large number of the air passage holes 5 in the air flow equalizing plate 4 causes the combustion region to be shifted according to the quantity of fuel gas supplied. For instance, when the quantity of of fuel gas is small relative to the quantity of air, the fuel gas burns near the air passage holes 5, whereas when the quantity of fuel gas is large relative to the quantity of air, the fuel gas burns over the entire surface of the air flow equalizing plate 4.
  • Reference numeral 7 designates a pilot burner around which the gas pipe 6 is concentrically positioned and so constructed as to form a pilot flame inside the air flow equalizing plate 4. With such a construction, the pilot burner 7 can positively ignite the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber 1. Further, since the pilot flame is formed inside the air flow equalizing plate 4, overheating of the subject high velocity burner body, which would otherwise be caused by the pilot flame, can be avoided. This is advantageous in prolonging the useful life of the high velocity gas burner.
  • the fuel gas is introduced from a gas inlet port 8 through the gas pipe 6 into the inside of the air flow equalizing plate 4, namely into the combustion chamber 1.
  • air is introduced from an air inlet port 9 through the air passage holes 5 into the combustion chamber 1.
  • the fuel gas and air are mixed and ignited by the pilot burner 7.
  • the combustion is commenced. Since the cross-sectional area of the nozzle 3 is smaller than that of the combustion chamber 1 as stated previously, the heat generated in the combustion chamber by the fuel throughput in this case reaches as high as 5,000 20,000 X 10 Kcal/m.hr.
  • the resultant combustion gases are jetted from the nozzle 3 in the form of a hot gas stream.
  • the velocity of the hot gas stream is as high as 100 SOOm/second.
  • the high velocity gas burner of the invention is capable of excess air ratio combustion as stated above and a satisfactory combustion can be obtained even at an excess air ratio of 5,000 percent. Therefore, the temperature of the combustion gases jetting from the nozzle 3 is not always high.
  • the combustion gases can be discharged as a stream of warm gas, for example, at a temperature of 100 C. This is advantageous in that when the gas burner is mounted in a heating furnace, local heating of the furnacecan be avoided and a uniform temperature distribution can be obtained within said furnace.
  • FIGS. 2 to 8 show heating furnaces comprising the subject high velocity gas burner.
  • these high velocity gas burners a a are longitudinally mounted in the opposite side walls of the furnace body.
  • Reference numeral designates curved portions formed on the inner surface of the furnace wall at locations forwardly of the nozzle openings of the respective gas burners.
  • the high temperature, high velocity hot gas stream jetting from each of the high velocity gas burners a a circulates within the furnace as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 2, while drawing with them the gases in the furnace at the time of jetting.

Since the high temperature, high velocity hot gas streams circulate Within the furnace while drawing the gases in said furnace as stated above, the gas temperature within the furnace is made uniform and thus the temperature distribution in the furnace is improved.
  • the hot gas streams when deflected by the curved portions 10, form hot gas curtains, so that the interior of the furnace is completely blocked off from the exterior even when a door 12 is opened.
  • the remarkable advantage brought about by the hot air curtains thus formed, is that a desired number of heating zones 13, I4 can be successively formed longitudinally of the furnace, providing for zone control, or otherwise the entire furnace can be used as a single heating zone 13.
  • the above-described advantage of the hot air curtains can similarly be obtained with a single heating zone.
  • the heating furnace has a plurality of heating zones or a single heating zone, the number of the high velocity gas burners to be mounted in the furnace and the formation of the projections 11 can be determined according to the purpose of use of the heating furnace. While in the embodiment of FIGS.
  • the high velocity gas burners are mounted in a horizontal position, it is to be understood that they may be mounted in a vertical position in the top wall of the furnace as shown in FIG. 4 or at any other locations of the furnace at a suitable angle of inclination. Namely,

  • curved portions 10 must of course be formed on the inner surfaces of the side walls at locations opposite to the respective gas burners a
  • the hot gas stream jetting from each of the high velocity gas burners a passes through a groove 15 while drawing the gases within the furnace and is deflected by the curved portion 10 opposite to the gas burner, to circulate within the furnace. Therefore, the temperature at the furnace floor becomes extremely high and an article in the furnace can be uniformly heated.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 a heating furnace comprising in combination high velocity gas burners according to the invention and low velocity gas burners.
  • reference numeral 17 designates the low velocity gas burners mounted in the bottom portions of the furnace walls, and having checkers 18 provided forwardly of said low velocity gas burners and defining the end of a combustion chamber 19 for the low velocity gas burners 17 having upwardly opening ports 19a.
