Benefits of technology

This patent describes a burner that has two different burner assemblies, each designed to do a different job. The burner can switch between the two assemblies depending on the needs of the user. This provides versatility and flexibility in the use of the burner.

Problems solved by technology

One problem with this design is that a particular combustion chamber application may need to use the characteristics of both infrared burners and blue flame burners; however it may not be desirable or physical space may not be available to install multiple burners in the combustion chamber.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to the drawings wherein identical reference numerals denote the same elements throughout the various views, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate an exemplary combination burner 10. The basic components of the combination burner 10 are a housing 12, a divider 14, a pair of end plates 16, a pair of couplings 18, a first burner assembly 20, and a second burner assembly 22. Each of these components will be described in more detail below.

[0016]The housing 12 is an elongated structure configured to be mounted in a combustion chamber, to receive the first and second burner assemblies 20 and 22, respectively, and to channel a combustible mixture to the first and second burner assemblies 20 and 22.

[0017]As seen in FIG. 3, the housing 12 includes a peripheral wall 24 defining an interior cavity 26. In the illustrated example, the housing 12 forms a roughly diamond cross-sectional shape, and includes a pair of spaced-apart parallel first and second mounting flanges 28, 30 respectively at i...

Abstract

A combination burner apparatus includes: a housing including a peripheral wall defining an interior cavity; and side-by-side first and second burner assemblies disposed in the housing in fluid communication with the interior cavity, wherein the first burner assembly is of a first burner type, and the second burner assembly is of a second burner type different from the first burner type.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to combustion equipment and more particularly to burners for use with combustion equipment.[0002]Various types of burners are known and used for providing heat input to industrial processes such as heat treating, drying, and / or baking. As used herein the term “combustion chamber” refers to any structure containing one or more burners, for example an oven or drying chamber.[0003]One known type of burner is an infrared or “IR” burner, designed for surface combustion where fuel and air burns on a surface layer of a permeable medium in a radiant mode.[0004]Another known type of burner is a ribbon burner. A ribbon burner can only burn in a “blue flame” mode, where a flame front propagates in air immediately downstream of the burner.[0005]Typically, the type of combustion is set by the physical design of the burner. That is, a burner is only an infrared burner or a blue flame burner.[0006]One problem with this design is tha...
