Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A burner module having particular application to an engine intake manifold, applicable to any gas flow conduit for gas or air heating purposes, comprising a shell-like housing mounting means to intercept a portion of the air moving through the manifold or conduit and to channel said portion into and through a supplementary flow path defined in the housing. This flow path is arranged to exit to the manifold or conduit downstream of the intercepting means. This supplementary flow path is so formed as to swirl the intercepted air about a fuel nozzle.
  • Atomized fuel which issues from the nozzle is externally ignited to produce a flame which is formed in a small tight configuration within a flame retention head defining the exit from said flow path.
  • a portion of the air moving through the flow path is diverted to pass directly through the fuel nozzle to assist in aspirating and atomizing the fuel which is passed therethrough.
  • the major portion of the intercepted air is directed about the flame in a supporting and a shielding relation thereto whereby to provide a gas envelope separating the flame from the surrounding surface of the flame retention head.
  • the latter together with the intercepting means functions to create a relatively non-turbulent environment for the flame which is quietly exposed so as to maintain a relatively uniform temperature of the supporting and shielding gas or air, which it heats in passage thereby in the course of its exit to the manifold or conduit. Further, the flame uniformly adds heat to the main stream of the gas flowing through the related manifold or conduit.
  • the invention in its structural embodiment provides a compact burner module which will provide, on a simple application thereof to a gas flow conduit or air intake manifold of an engine, a quick heating of the air and a raising of its temperature to an essentially uniform desired level, before it enters the combustion section of an engine, for example.
  • a compact burner module which will provide, on a simple application thereof to a gas flow conduit or air intake manifold of an engine, a quick heating of the air and a raising of its temperature to an essentially uniform desired level, before it enters the combustion section of an engine, for example.
  • Invention embodiments are such as to enable an engine to be easily started under below zero conditions.
  • the present invention provides a burner or heating module which can be quickly inserted to bridge an opening in any ducting portion of an air or gas supply system wherein a fluid flow is directed for use in support of a combustion system.
  • Invention embodiments provide for a compact package so constructed to intercept a portion of the gas or air moving through a-conduit and diverting it through a supplementary flow path in a controlled fashion. Exposed in said flow path and Opening to the related conduit downstream of the intercepting means is a fuel delivery nozzle and positioned externally thereof an igniter. A portion of the air moving through the supplementary flow path is directed through the module per se to serve to assist in aspirating fuel to and from the nozzle and to atomize the fuel in the process.
  • the major portion of the air directed through the supplementary flow path is caused to move in a swirling pattern about the nozzle and on ignition of fuel issuing from the nozzle causes it to be supported as a tight clean burning flame.
  • a retention head is provided which projects into the related conduit downstream and to the rear of the intercepting means. The air swirling about the nozzle and out from the retention head not only supports the flame and contours the same but shields it from direct contact with the retention head. As this occurs there is a layer of air exiting to the conduit which is uniformly heated in passage. Simultaneously, the flame contained in the retention head is exposed to the main stream passing through the conduit to lend a substantially constant temperature increasing heat thereto. In this manner there is immediate general uniformity in the pre-heating of the air moving through the conduit, the whole being achieved with a relatively non-turbulent movement of air, with optimal results in function of the related equipment.
  • a primary object of the invention is to provide an improved bumer module having particular advantage in application to a gas flow conduit for pre-heating the air and other gas that might pass therethrough, which module is economical to fabricate, most efficient and satisfactory in use and unlikely to cause malfunction.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved means and method of pre-heating air moving through the air intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide an antipollution device of a nature to enable a low emission engine.

  • the innermost end of the nozzle is provided with a seal means to separate the air in the chamber 52 from fuel which is passed to and through the nozzle.
  • Grooves in the nozzle body and connecting small bore passages in its head communicate air in the chamber 52 with the nozzle fuel passage.
  • the small bore passages are arranged in a conventional manner so that air exiting therefrom will induce an aspirating effect in the nozzle bore and cause fuel to exit from the nozzle in an atomized condition.
  • adapter 42 has a small bore air passage 55, shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings, which opens at its discharge end to the chamber 52 and communicates to its inlet end with a slot 56 at the adapter base.
  • slot 56 is shown to be formed in the abutted face of the fuel passing and metering device 46.
  • the motor mount has an aperture of circular outline and secured to the face thereof remote from the motor is the cylindrically fomted housing of a relatively flat compact compressor unit 72.
  • the housing of the compressor unit consists of a cup-shaped part 76 the flat base of which bridges the abutted face of the mount 58 and has a central aperture which accommodates the projection therethrough of the motor drive shaft 67.
  • the cup-shaped portion of the compressor housing is capped by a cover plate 78, Within the chamber defined by the compressor housing the motor drive shaft mounts in eccentric position therein a conventional vaned rotor 80.
  • the eccentric position of the disc shaped rotor 80 forms and defines a compression chamber 82 about a portion of its periphery.
  • a small bore passage 84 the opposite end of which opens through the side 60 into one end of a groove 86 formed in the base of the motor mount 58.
  • This groove leads to a passage 90 in the body of the motor mount, an angled portion of which passage opens from the face of the motor mount remote from the motor 64 to align with an aperture in the compressor housing communicating with the entrance end of the chamber 82.
  • chamber 82 is of conventional arcuate configuration, gradually expanding from the inlet end of the chamber to a point midway in its length, beyond which point it uniformly reduces to its outlet end from which opens an exit aperture for delivering compressed air form the chamber 82.
  • This exit aperture opens to a passage formed in the motor mount 58 and directed therein to the motor mount base to open therefrom to a flow passage 94 in the wall structure of the housing 20.
  • This passage 94 exits from the housing at the face thereof abutted by the housing of the fuel metering apparatus generally indicated by the number 46 and into a slot 56 formed in the abutted face thereof.
  • the slot 56 communicates at its remote end with the air flow passage 55.
  • a pressure regulator 100 mounted in the housing 20 to communicate with the passage 94 through the medium of which air may be relieved from the passage 94 and suitably directed back to the manifold 10.

The compressed air will pass through the passage 94 and by way of the groove 56 to the small bore passage 55 in the nozzle adapter 42. It must be here noted that where the support for the nozzle adapter is other than a fuel metering device, the groove 56 communicating the compressed air with the small bore passage 55 may be suitably embodied in the nozzle adapter structure per se.
  • the swirling air will both form a shield separating the flame from the physical structure of the retainer head and cause the contouring of the flame to a compact form assuming the configuration of a creamy extended ball configuration.
  • part of the air goes to support combustion while the remainder is heated in passage by the flame, in a generally uniform manner.
  • the extension of the retainer head to the interior of the manifold 10 and immediately downstream of the curved deflector 16 places the flame in a relatively non-turbulent zone. This contributes to the control of the flame and in an unexpected manner produces an even heating of the passing air. It is to be kept in mind that not only is there thus provided a particularly controlled supplementary flow path for the air but the nature of the path is such as to create a temperature control and to lend rapid heating to the air flow in the manifold 10. The flame is of course exposed to the main air stream and lends heat thereto as well as to the air flowing thereabout.
  • the invention contributes substantially to the art in question by providing an easily applied unit for inducing heat to raise the temperature of a passing gaseous fluid. It achieves its result by affording a diversion of a portion of the fluid flow to and through a supplementary flow path in the process of which to utilize a portion thereof for atomizing and aspirating purposes and another portion thereof to support and shield the flame which lends a uniform heat to the flow and which is exposed to the main stream in a manner to achieve a heating of the fluid flow which may be uniformly distributed at relatively uniform temperatures.
  • the unobvious results obtained are illustrated by a fact that with the use of the invention embodiment, internal combustion engines of the diesel type have been to start at 10 below zero within a period of eight seconds. The use of the invention has also unobviously increased the productive horse power to a significant degree.
  • a main advantage of the invention application to use with internal combustion engines is the clean burning it enables regardless of the engine operating conditions.
  • the supplementary flow path as provided by the invention structure has resulted also in a swirling of heated air in a uniform manner which assists and enhances the continuous air flow in the related manifold and maintains it relatively uniform, again regardless of engine operating conditions.
