Dual Ring Gas Burner With Segmented Inlets For Flame Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Dual gas burners with inner and outer burners face performance limitations due to gas flow interference between the outer ring and the inner ring, affecting heating distribution and flame stability.
Innovation Solution
A gas burner assembly with two flame rings, where the outer ring uses multipoint injection as a bottom breather and the inner ring as a top breather, featuring separate gas inlets and combustion air sources to improve heating distribution and flame direction, with flame ports on the caps for enhanced performance and easy cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the outer ring and inner ring share a common gas supply system, then the device complexity is reduced, but gas flow interference occurs between the rings affecting flame stability
Solution Approach 1:
The gas supply system is segmented into separate independent pathways: the outer ring has its own gas inlet and distribution system, while the inner ring has a separate gas inlet and distribution system. This segmentation eliminates gas flow interference between the rings, ensuring stable flame operation for each burner zone independently.
2Ease of operation
If the burner design includes complex internal gas distribution channels, then gas flow control is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The burner is divided into modular segments: outer ring, inner ring, crown, and cap components. Each segment has simplified gas distribution channels that are easier to manufacture individually, while the modular assembly provides the complex overall gas flow control functionality needed for independent ring operation.
3Ease of operation
If flame ports are located on the crown surface, then gas distribution is improved, but cleaning difficulty increases due to recessed ports
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of locating flame ports on the crown surface (traditional design), the flame ports are inverted and located on the cap surface. This inversion allows the ports to be accessible from above for easy cleaning, while the internal gas distribution channels in the crown remain optimized for gas flow control. The cap acts as a removable cover that provides access to the flame ports.

Function Achieved in This Case
This design enhances cooking performance by allowing high heating rates and simmer capabilities, while maintaining a smooth burner design with improved flame stability and easy cleaning functionality.
Implementation Method 1
The outer burner (10) includes a first Venturi element (13) for supplying an air-gas mixture and the inner burner (20) includes a second Venturi element (23) for supplying an air-gas mixture.

AI summary
The present disclosure is related to a dual ring gas burner wherein the outer ring includes multipoint injection with bottom breathing and the inner ring works with top breathing. Two flame rings are included along with burner ports on the caps. As a result, better heating distribution is achieved along with greater ease in cleaning and combined simmer functions with high ratings by having the outer ring gas flow not interfering with the inner ring.
