Abstract
The present invention relates to a burner system for providing thermal energy comprising an evaporator device for evaporating a liquid alcohol fuel, a burner air supply means, a burner device for burning a fuel mixture comprising vaporized fuel and burner air to provide an exhaust gas stream, a functions device for controlling the thermal energy of the exhaust gas flow, wherein the burner device provides the thermal energy for evaporation in the evaporator device during operation.
Claims13
A burner system for providing thermal energy, the burner system comprising:
- an evaporator device for vaporizing a liquid fuel and providing completely vaporized fuel,
- a burner air supply device for providing burner air,
- a surface burner for burning a fuel mixture comprising the completely vaporized fuel and the burner air to provide an exhaust gas stream,
- a shielding plate with openings for passing and controlling the thermal energy of the exhaust gas stream of the surface burner, wherein
- the surface burner is coupled to the evaporator device via the shielding plate in such a way that, in operation, the exhaust gas flow of the surface burner provides the thermal energy and the evaporation temperature required for complete evaporation of the fuel in the evaporator device, wherein the shielding plate is provided for radiation shielding of the evaporator device as well as for mixing the hot burner exhaust gas stream with tertiary air in order to reduce a temperature of exhaust gas, so that the overall temperature of the exhaust gas is cooled to a desired suitable level for complete evaporation, and
- a tertiary air supply device for supplying the tertiary air to the exhaust gas stream to adjust a temperature of the exhaust gas stream by mixing with the tertiary air to form a hot gas stream, wherein the tertiary air supply device is arranged to convey the tertiary air into the exhaust gas stream between the shielding plate and the evaporator device.
