The invention relates to a door provided with a gas burner on the inner surface thereof and with a system for carrying a combustible gas to the burner on the outer surface thereof, and which can be inserted and attached into a frame of a wall of the device (AC); the door comprises a pair of metal sheets rigidly connected to one another at the edges thereof, with input openings and output openings for the gas mixture, respectively, and which are mutually separated, in order to leave an inner space receiving a deflector plate serving as a thermal shield to be swept over on either side by the flow of the gas mixture supplying the burner. Said arrangement reduces heat loss through the door, making it possible to keep the outer surface cold, thus also avoiding the risk of burns, while at the same time preheating the gas mixture. The invention can be used in heating appliances.
A door with a built-in burner for a heating appliance, which is provided on the internal face of the door with a gas burner and on the external face of the door with a system for feeding a combustible gas mixture to the burner, the door adapted to engage into the frame of a wall of the appliance, and to be removably attached to the frame, wherein the door includes a pair of metal sheets firmly attached to each other at their periphery, the outer metal sheet having in a central zone thereof an inlet opening for the arrival of said gas mixture while the inner metal sheet has in a central zone thereof an outlet opening coaxial with said inlet opening, to which is attached the burner, wherein both of the sheets are spaced apart from each other, making between them a space, inside which a deflector plate is fixedly mounted, wherein the deflector plate has the shape of a disc, the diameter of which is substantially greater than that of said inlet and outlet openings of said door, and that the deflector plate is mounted centered on the axis of these openings and perpendicular to the latter, and wherein the deflector plate consists of two slightly spaced apart parallel metal sheets, attached to each other at their periphery, the deflector plate thus being shaped and dimensioned so that the gas mixture flow penetrating into the appliance through said inlet opening is deflected towards the outside of the deflector plate, circumvents the peripheral edge thereof from the outside towards the inside, and then flows onto the internal face of the deflector plate, in order to flow out through said outlet opening and penetrate into the burner.
