Benefits of technology

one advantage of the present invention is that a radiant heating system is of a demand type providing high and low demand heating at any time. Another advantage of the present invention is that a single fuel control is provided which is capable of dual regulation. Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the demand radiant heating system has a single glow bar which both ignites air / fuel mixture and senses flame presence to serve as an ignitor and a sensor. Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the demand radiant heating system has a new and improved burner to handle larger air / fuel mixtures.

Problems solved by technology

Although the above-patented radiant heating system works well, it suffers from the disadvantage that it operates only on one fuel pressure setting and at predetermined times and cannot provide demand heating at any time.
Another disadvantage is that a separate fuel control and regulator are used for fuel control.
Yet another disadvantage is that the burner has an ignitor at one end and a separate radiant sensor for the burner which results in more parts.
A further disadvantage is that the burner handles only relatively small air / fuel mixture.

Embodiment Construction

)

Referring to FIG. 1, a typical installation of a demand radiant heating system 10, according to the present invention, is illustrated in a building such as a warehouse to heat a specific location therein. The demand radiant heating system 10 includes a component housing 12 and an elongated linear radiant heating tube 14 which extends therefrom. The demand radiant heating system 10 includes a reflector 16 secured to the tube 14 by suitable means such as a plurality of brackets 18 as illustrated in FIG. 2. The component housing 12 and brackets 18 are suspended from a ceiling 20 of the building by suitable means such as chains 22.

The demand radiant heating system 10 also includes an intake tube 24 connected to the component housing 12 and extending through a wall 26 of the building to allow air to enter the component housing 12. The intake tube 24 may have a shield 28 at the end thereof The radiant heating tube 14 also extends through a wall 30 of the building to allow cooled exhaust ...

Abstract

A demand radiant heating system includes an elongated radiant heating tube and a burner operatively connected to the tube and a fuel regulator connected to the burner for providing fuel to the burner at a plurality of fuel pressures to provide demand heating.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates generally to radiant heating systems and, more particularly, to a demand type of radiant heating system.2. Description of the Related ArtIt is known to provide a radiant heating system to heat a specific location in a building such as a warehouse. Typically, the radiant heating system includes a radiant heating tube having an inlet end and an exhaust end. A relatively short tube of smaller diameter than the radiant heating tube is positioned in the inlet end and spaced from an inner surface thereof to define a cylindrical passage for flow of air. A burner is positioned within the short tube. The burner has an inlet end to receive air and fuel and mixing the same and an exit end for emitting the air / fuel mixture for combustion. An example of such a radiant heating system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,390,125 to Rozzi, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.Although the above-paten...
