Claims20
A system for use with a fired vessel, the system comprising:
- a tank containing a volume of liquid;
- a tube submerged in the volume of liquid within the tank,
- a metal box defining an interior volume, wherein the metal box is within the tube;
- a main burner within the interior volume of the metal box and a first venturi tube within the main burner;
- a pilot burner within the interior volume of the metal box and adjacent the main burner, and a second venturi tube within the pilot burner;
- wherein the first venturi tube of the main burner is connected to a first fitting of the main burner and the second venturi tube of the pilot burner is connected to a second fitting of the pilot burner;
- a first flame arrestor connected to the tube, wherein the first flame arrestor defines an air-intake opening, and a moveable plate operatively connected the first flame arrestor at the air-intake opening, wherein the moveable plate moves between a closed first position and an open second position via a plunger, wherein the first flame arrestor provides ambient air to the main burner and the pilot burner when the moveable plate is in the open second position;
- and
- a second flame arrestor connected to the metal box, wherein the second flame arrestor is adapted to create an air-fuel mixture inside first and second venturi tubes;
- wherein system is adapted to be coupled to a fuel source to supply fuel to the main burner and the pilot burner.
