Device for generating and transmitting heat capable of operating with fuel in any physical state and combustion flame

Abstract

Device for generating and transmitting heat capable of operating with fuel in any physical state that includes at least one cylindrical combustion chamber (9) divided into a lower section (11) and an upper section (12) of variable height, a pressurized air chamber (26) arranged below the lower section (11) of the combustion chamber, and a plurality of air injectors (14). The device is characterized in that the air injectors (14) are supported on a flat ring (43) and set in a second flat ring (52) and in that it also includes a set of replaceable parts (A) arranged in the free centre of both flat rings (43 and 52) and whose specific configuration depends on the physical state of the fuel being used. Furthermore said set of replaceable parts (A) includes at least one central air injector (16) located in the geometric centre of the unit.

Description

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0002]The present invention, as the present specification states in its title, is intended to provide a device for generating and transmitting heat capable of operating with fuel in any physical state, i.e. it can be fed with fuel in solid, liquid or gas state. In turn, it is an object of the invention to maximize the combustion efficiency, i.e. that the fuel consumption is intended to be optimized, which results in significant fuel savings and the reduction of the emissions of pollutants.

[0003]Likewise, the present invention is intended to describe a combustion flame generated inside the described device for generating and transmitting heat, flame whose properties are highly advantageous in terms of heat transfer and for preventing the production of pollutants.

Problems solved by technology

Although said document explicitly states that the described apparatus can be used “for other types of fuels such as powder fuels, liquid fuels or gas fuels”, the practice shows that it is not possible to use any of the solutions described in said patent with liquid or gas fuels.

Additionally, the device for generating heat described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,651,645-B1 has some drawbacks, such as the fact that due to the high temperatures reached inside the combustion chamber, the substantially parallel plates or discs wherein the air injectors are embedded, are bent; which can lead to their breakage.
