Burner Cap Gas Distribution for Uniform Combustion Heating
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional burners often fail to provide uniform heat due to concentrated flames, which can lead to incomplete combustion and the generation of harmful substances like carbon monoxide, posing safety risks and inefficiencies in cooking.
Innovation Solution
The burner design incorporates a burner cap with a distribution protrusion and connection guide that disperses the mixture gas evenly across multiple burner ports, ensuring uniform combustion and reducing flame concentration, thereby enhancing heat distribution and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If mixture gas is intensively supplied to a burner port close to the supply pipe, then flames are concentrated and combustion intensity increases, but heat distribution becomes non-uniform and carbon monoxide is generated due to incomplete combustion
Solution Approach 1:
The burner cap is divided into multiple burner ports (first, second, third, and fourth burner ports) that are spatially segmented around the supply pipe. This segmentation distributes the mixture gas flow across multiple locations, preventing concentration of flames at a single port and ensuring more uniform combustion and heat distribution while reducing carbon monoxide generation.

This segmentation distributes the mixture gas flow across multiple locations, preventing concentration of flames at a single port and ensuring more uniform combustion and heat distribution while reducing carbon monoxide generation.
3Device complexity
If a conventional burner cap design is used, then the structure is simple, but flame distribution is uneven and combustion efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The burner cap is divided into multiple burner ports (first, second, third, and fourth burner ports) that are spatially segmented around the supply pipe. This segmentation distributes the mixture gas flow across multiple locations, preventing concentration of flames at a single port and ensuring more uniform combustion and heat distribution while reducing carbon monoxide generation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different burner ports are positioned at different locations (first and second ports closer to the supply pipe, third and fourth ports farther away) with potentially different configurations. This local quality variation optimizes the combustion characteristics at each port to achieve overall uniform heat distribution and high combustion efficiency.
