Abstract
A gas torch assembly and its method of use are described for use in high-temperature applications such as a furnace, power generation station, pottery kiln and flame cutting and welding torches, which requires only inexpensive, low environmental impact, low pressure fuels such as propane gas and air; utilizes the initial internal combustion of the fuel gas to subsequently preheat air/oxygen and/or the fuel gas to well above ambient temperature; and dispenses with the need of arc-oxygen or arc-air cutting of metals.
Claims24
A combustion process of the type where a fuel gas is mixed with an oxidant gas to form a combustible mixture which is subsequently ignited for use in high-temperature applications such as a furnace, power generation station, pottery kiln and cutting and welding torches, characterised in that, thermal energy generated at the point of ignition from a portion of a thus ignited mixture within a combustion chamber is used to raise the combustion temperature of subsequently ignited said mixture.
A device for use in high-temperature applications such as a furnace, power generation station, pottery kiln and cutting and welding torches and the like where a fuel gas is mixed with an oxidant gas to form a combustible mixture which is subsequently ignited, wherein thermal energy generated at the point of ignition from a portion of a thus ignited said mixture within a combustion chamber of said device is used to raise the combustion temperature of subsequently ignited said mixture.
