Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to a fuel burner assembly and has for its object the reduction of operating noise.
  • venturi may be of various configurations, for example, the venturi may have a throat in the form of a longitudinal section of constant minimum diameter or else the venturi can converge to a point of minimum diameter forming the throat.
  • the invention is based upon the discovery that by using a number of jets such as 4, 6 or more in the nozzle and advancing the nozzle forwardly towards the venturi from the position that it would normally adopt a significant reduction in operating noise can be achieved.
  • a burner assembly composed of a venturi and a fuel nozzle arranged to discharge fuel into said venturi so that air will be inspirated into the venturi, wherein the nozzle has a plurality of jets through which said fuel is passed and the distance between the fuel-emittingend of the nozzle and the centre of the venturi throat is within the range 0.5 to 1.5 venturi throat diameters.
  • a further reduction in noise can be achieved by additionally forming the inlet portion of the venturi facing the nozzle from a hollow member filled with an acoustic damping material.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional side view of part of a known fuel burner assembly
  • FIG. 2 is a part sectional side view of another known fuel burner assembly employing an elbow venturi
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic and enlarged view of part of a fuel burner assembly made in accordance with the invention and particularly depicting the relative positions of the nozzle and venturi throat;
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional side view of an alternative venturi throat construction for use in an assembly made in accordance with the invention.
  • a known burner assembly is composed of a fuel nozzle disposed in a casing 11 to which a venturi 12 is attached. At the end of the venturi 12 remote from the casing 1 1 there is disposed a flame nozzle 13.
  • the venturi 12 would be supported in the wall of a furnace so that a horizontally disposed combustion flame is established by the nozzle 13 within the furnace.
  • Fuel more usually gas is fed to the nozzle 10 and the propulsion of the fuel from a single jet or orifice in the nozzle 10 serves to inspirate primary combustion air into the casing 11 from whence the fuel/air mixture passes through the throat 14 of the venturi 12 for subsequent combustion.
  • FIG. 2 a complete burner assembly employing an elbow venturi instead of a straight venturi is shown and for convenience like numerals denote like parts to FIG. 1.
  • the operation of the assembly of FIG. 2 is essentially as described in connection with FIG. 1 but additionally illustrated in FIG. 2 are the walls 20 of a furnace, a device 21 for adjusting the quantity of primary air, and a device 22 for adjusting the quantity of secondary air.
  • the present invention is based upon the somewhat surprising discovery that by modifying the position of the nozzle 10 in relation to the venturi 12 and by increasing the number of jets in the nozzle 10 the burner will operate at a reduced noise level.
  • FIG. 3 depicts, in schematic form, a typical arrangement made in accordance with the invention.
  • the dimension d can be taken as the smallest internal diameter of the venturi 12.
  • the nozzle 10 has a plurality of jets 30 preferably exceeding four. The collective area of such holes is equivalent to the area of a single conventional jet and is chosen to match the particular fuel flow rate in question.
  • the operating noise of the assembly can be further reduced by modifying the inlet part 40 of the venturi 12 as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the inlet part 40 of the venturi 12 is formed from a hollow member with a perforated inner wall 41 and an outer wall 42.
  • a fibre-glass material 43 or similar acoustic absorbing material is sandwiched between the walls 41, 42.
  • a burner assembly composed of a venturi and a fuel nozzle arranged to discharge fuel into said venturi so that air will be inspirated into the venturi, wherein the nozzle has a plurality of jets through which said fuel is passed, the distance between the fuel-emitting end of the nozzle and the center of the venturi throat is within the range of 0.5 to 1.5 venturi throat diameters, and the inlet portion of the venturi facing the nozzle is formed as a hollow member with an acoustic absorbing material within the member.
