Abstract
This is an upright heater igniting combustible gas to induce a naturally aspirated flame within a glass tube. Air channels producing the naturally aspirated flame enters the glass tube in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the flame thus creating a twirling flame. Heat waves generated by the twirling flame within a glass tube rises to a heat concentrator and projected onto a parabolic heat shield thus reflecting the heat wave radially downward and outward.
Claims20
A heater with a twirling flame, comprising:
- a glass tube with a vertical flow path;
- a central mechanism with a gas distributor distributing combustible gas into the glass tube;
- an ignitor installed on the central mechanism with igniting terminals communicably disposed in the vertical flow path of the glass tube;
- a plurality of air channels with a plurality of horizontal flow paths in the central mechanism wherein the horizontal flow paths are communicably connected to the vertical flow path of the glass tube;
- wherein upon igniting a spark between the igniting terminals, the combustible gas combusted into a flame generating a heat wave in the glass tube;
- and
- wherein the heat wave rises along the vertical flow path and air enters from the plurality of air channels along the plurality of horizontal flow paths into the glass tube to create a flow turbulence producing the twirling flame.
