Abstract
The burner is provided with a hollow vaporizing body, with a combustion initiating means, with heating means for starting up and with means for applying a method of burning, comprising the distinct and successive three phases: (a) vaporization of the liquid fuel protected from the flame, (b) mixing of the vaporized fuel obtained in phase (a), with a combustion supporter such as air, in a special chamber, protected from the flame, (c) combustion of the mixture obtained from phase (b), in a suitable zone, separate from the vaporizing and mixing zones.
Claims13
A fuel burner comprising:
- (a) a vaporizing body;
- (b) a vaporizing duct coiled within said vaporizing body;
- (c) combustion initiating means;
- (d) heating means for heating said burner body during start-up, said heating means comprising an electric resistance heater;
- (e) a mixing chamber in fluid communication with said vaporizing duct;
- (f) means for introducing a fuel into said vaporizing duct;
- (g) means for introducing a vector fluid into said vaporizing duct for transporting said fuel;
- (h) a combustion grid on which said fuel is burned in a flame;
- and
- wherein said vaporizing duct and vaporizing body are positioned and configured whereby said flame at least partially licks said vaporizing body to heat said fuel passing through said vaporizing duct and wherein said resistance heater is positioned to heat said fuel and said vector fluid in said mixing chamber prior to passage through said combustion grid.
The burner as defined by calim 1 wherein said mixing chamber is at least partly positioned within said vaporizing body and is constituted by a cup-shaped chamber centrally positioned in said vaporizing body.
