James J. Feese - Elizabethtown PA
Raymond F. Baum - Lebanon PA
Edward E. Moore - Hummelstown PA
Bruce C. Irwin - Chattanooga TN

Assignee:

Hauck Manufacturing Co. - Lebanon PA

International Classification:

F23Q 900

US Classification:

431285, 431115, 431182, 431188, 431284

Abstract:

A combination burner for selectively firing oil, natural gas and liquid propane. A modular first section has primary and secondary air tubes coaxially arranged therein and communicates with the main combustion air supply fan. A modular section is joined by bolts or the like to the first section and into which the primary and secondary air tubes extend. A center air spin vane rack is upstream of the secondary air tube in the first section. An adjustable spin vane rack is located radially outwardly of the secondary air tube for selectively spinning the main combustion air for flame adjustability. An air diverter is provided at a downstream end of the primary air tube. A compressed air atomizer is also at the downstream end of the primary air tube.

US Classification:

431 11

Abstract:

A radiant tube burner assembly and method is provided to reduce nitrous oxides and carbon monoxide emissions in the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. The burner assembly comprises a burner section, exhaust section, radiant tube, plenum and a jet pump assembly. A volume of exhaust gas drawn from the stream of exhaust gases into the jet pump assembly by way of a motive gas is flowed into a stream of combustion air so as to vitiate the oxygen content of the combustion mixture. When the combustion mixture is combusted with fuel in the burner section, the production of nitrous oxides and other harmful emission is mitigated.

US Classification:

431 8

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for adjusting the flame exit velocity of a high velocity burner. The burner includes burner combustor chamber having a fluid accelerating nozzle and a burner combustor exhaust port. Fuel is delivered to the burner combustor through a fuel inlet. An ignitor is provided to initiate combustion of the fuel which is mixed with air from an air inlet. An adjusting device is provided to vary the flame exit area of the burner. The adjusting device includes an adjusting rod connected to an extension rod which preferably extends through the burner ignition chamber to the burner combustion exit port. For example, a tapered plug is attached to the end of the extension rod. The tapered plug is tapered in a direction decreasing toward the burner combustion exit port and can include fins attached around a periphery of the plug.
