Flame gas burner diffuser for cooking equipments

Abstract

The present invention generally refers to a flame gas burner diffuser to be used in stove-type cooking equipments, more preferably in household stoves, comprising technical and functional features capable of improving the efficiency of exchanging heat with the bottom of cooking utensils. More particularly, said diffuser, according to the present invention, comprises a cup (1) provided with a surface (4) comprising an opening (2) at which a cooking equipment is accommodated, wherein over said surface (4) there is a series of barriers (3) duly arranged and positioned so as to form passage pathways and / or extended channels for allowing the hot gas flow generated by the burner flame to pass.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally refers to a flame gas burner diffuser used in cooking equipments, more preferably in household stoves, comprising technical and functional features capable of improving the efficiency of burners. More particularly, said diffuser, according to the present invention, comprises a structure provided with passages or channels formed on the surface over which a cooking utensil bottom of the cooking equipment rests, thereby increasing heat transfer levels.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Stoves and cooking equipments known in the art usually comprise a series of burners upon which cooking utensils are disposed, wherein a configuration of said burners is intended to produce a flame capable of heating the utensil bottom and, preferably, such heating must be as uniform as possible.[0003]Thus, in order to improve the state-of-the-art burners, one may note that cooking equipment manufacturers are trying to develop parts and fittings fo...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a flame gas diffuser for use in cooling equipment burners that improves heat exchange efficiency. It achieves this by including a body with a surface that has at least one opening for a burner and a plurality of barriers disposed on the surface. These barriers form pathways for the hot gas flow generated by the burner flame to pass through and improve heat transfer to the utensil bottom. The diffuser also includes a flame retardant feature that extends the time period of gas in contact with the utensin, resulting in even higher heat transfer.

Problems solved by technology

More specifically, it can be observed that such cooking equipments lack burners capable of conducting a suitable—maximized—heat distribution under the utensil bottom, thereby resulting in low heat efficiency.

This leads to a high consumption of fuels, mainly to a great heat loss to the atmosphere.
