Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A device for controlling the variation of power stage i of the gas burners as a function of the variation of the pressure of the feed gas characterized by a pressure sensitive device which in response to two or more values of the gas pressure will close or open circuits which, by means of the predisposed programs on the control board, will act on the power operated valve or electrovalve that chokes the gas, and will adjust the gas feed changing the power state of the burner.
  • the present invention relates to a device to be applied to the burners for town gas for controlling the combustion during the peaks of maximum'absorption from the distribution network.
  • the purpose of this invention is that of obtaining the automatic reduction of the fuel request or demand by the gas burners when the pressure in the town distribution network decreases below the usual values due to an excess of request or demand.
  • Another purpose is to maintain the ratio of the airgas mixture in the blown air burners, when the pressure changes, and therefore changes the rate of flow of the gas, so as to obtain both optimum efficiencies for the burners and a correct combustion therein.
  • the blownairburners do not adjust the amount of the air supporting the combustion to compensate for changes in gas pressure.
  • any changes in the rate of flow of the fuel is not adjusted by the amount of air being introduced by the burner.
  • the stabilization of the pressure by means of reducers stabilizers creates losses of pressure which, during the moments of maximum absorption or demand, add to the losses whichalready exist in the cuts, to increase the possibility of jamming of the burners.
  • the excessive variations of gas pressure, and therefore of the rate of flow of the fuel causes a variation of the ratio of air-gas mixtureand thereby an irregular combustion which causes. a decrease of the efficiency, the formation of carbon monoxide, and the possibility of jammings due to intervention of the flame detector.
  • the present invention provides a device for overcoming said drawbacks, by reducing automatically the power required by the burner when the pressure in the gas distributing network diminishes, and by adjusting the rate of flow of the combustion supporting air, to each rate of flow of the fuel, so as to maintain the airgas mixture within the limits or ratio which is necessary for a correct combustion of the fuel.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates the device according to this invention applied to a blow-air burner
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the device of FIGJ
  • FIG. 2A is a side view of the burner of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 2B is a plan view with portions in cross section of the burner of FIG. 2A;
  • FIG. 2C is a plan view of the contral valves and connecting conduits for the burner of FIG. 2B;
  • FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates the invention when applied to a burner of the socalled atmospheric type.
  • the gas flow is received by a cut-off faucet or valve 1 which is connected to a safety electrovalve 2.
  • a pressure switch 3 is associated with the valve 2 and operates in case of a lack of gas pressure to close the valve 2.
  • valve 2 the gas flows through a conduit to a multiple position electrovalve or power operated valve 4 which is associated with a control valve or faucet 5.
  • a by-pass conduit or line 11 is connected to a Tee provided in the conduit extending between valves 2 and 4 and the by-pass conduit is provided with an electrovalve 7 and a contral valve or faucet 8.
  • the bypass conduit supplies gas to the pilot flame of a burner head 6 of the burner;
  • the head 6 is received in a tubular part of a casing 12 of the burner (FIG. 2B).
  • the casing 12 contains an air choking valve 9 whose setting is controlled by means of a mechanical linkage interconnecting the valve 9 to the valve 4.
  • This invention provides a pressure sensitive element 10 which has contacts 13.
  • the element 10 allows the burner to operate according to its usual characteristic cycle, which includes preheating, starting, continuous running and shut off stages.
  • a reduced pressure which has a value determined or pre-selected by adjustments provided with the element 10
  • the contacts 13 of the element 10 will open a circuit of a control board which applies a partial choking program on the valve 4 and also shut-off the valve 7 of the by-pass.
  • the burner will operate at reduced rate of flow for the running stage and this reduced ratecan be pre-established at will by acting on the adjustment of the main valve 4..
  • the mechanical control linkage which interconnects the air choking valve .9 to the valve 4, willadjust the air choking'valve 9 to adjust the amount of air being supflow of combustion supporting air would correspond.
  • the air choking valve 9 is connected to a power operated adjusting device M controlled by a servo 14 associated to the valve 4.
  • a servo 14 associated to the valve 4.
  • the valve 4 controls the rate of flow to the burner
  • the valve 4 by means of the servo 14 and device M controls the setting of the air choking valve.
  • the pressure sensitive element 10 is inserted upstream of the atmospheric burner 15 in the conduit extending thereto.
  • the position, which is shown in FIG. 3, is only for exemplary purposes.
  • the position of the element 10 in the conduit can change in relation to the adjusting valve 4, shut-off valve 1 and safety device 2 which are provided for the various kinds of burners and to which the burner can be associated.
  • the sensitive element by means of an electric or mechanical connection, or a connection of another kind, acts on the choking valve 4 compeling it to take a reduced aperture position, when the gas pressure decreases under a normal value, which is pre-established by setting of the adjustment on'the sensitive element 10.
  • the element 10 When the value of the gas pressure is above a normal preestablished value, the element 10 will also transmit a control function to the valve 4.
