Abstract
An automatic self-regulating burner system. A serpentine pipe structure connected to a source of fuel has a preheating portion, an orifice pipe portion and a backpressure pipe portion. The orifice pipe portion has an orifice therethrough which exhausts vaporized fuel. The exhausted fuel vapor is burned to heat both the preheater pipe portion for vaporizing and preheating the fuel, and the backpressure pipe portion for generating an internal pressure which automatically regulates the quantity of fuel vapors which are exhausted from the orifice.
Claims7
A multifuel self-regulating burner apparatus for burning a fuel from a supply comprising:
- a preheater pipe portion connected for initially receiving the fuel;
- a backpressure pipe portion;
- and
- an orifice pipe portion connected between the preheater pipe portion and the backpressure pipe portion, the backpressure pipe portion being sealed except at the connection to the orifice pipe portion, the orifice pipe portion having at least one orifice therethrough, said backpressure pipe portion being located forwardly of said orifice and said orifice being positioned for applying heat to at least the backpressure pipe portion when the fuel passing through the orifice is burned.
A multifuel self-regulating burner system for burning a fuel provided from a source comprising:
- means for preheating the fuel for providing a quantity of heated fuel vapor;
- means for exhausting the heated fuel vapor for feeding a flame;
- and
- means for providing a backpressure in the burner system for regulating the rate at which heated fuel vapors are exhausted wherein the value of the backpressure is proportional to the temperature of the flame, the means for providing a backpressure comprising a sealed backpressure pipe portion connected to and located forwardly of the means for exhausting.
