Abstract
A pot-type oil burner is disclosed which is capable of effectively preventing the generation of bad odor and soot during the igniting operation by turning on an electric heater positioned above a heat-resistant fabric spread on the bottom surface of a pot to previously heat the pot and fabric to a temperature sufficient to vaporize fuel oil prior to introducing fuel oil to the pot by means of a nozzle pipe.
Claims18
A pot-type oil burner comprising:
- a pot for carrying out the vaporization, mixing, ignition and combustion of fuel oil supplied thereto;
- a heat-resistant fabric spread on the bottom surface of said pot;
- a heating means, arranged in said pot and positioned above said fabric, for heating said pot and said fabric to vaporize fuel oil supplied to said pot, said heating means being positioned sufficiently close to said fabric to cause ignition and burning of fuel oil vaporized by said fabric;
- a nozzle means extending into said pot for introducing fuel oil from an oil supply means therethrough into said pot and onto said fabric;
- sensor means for providing a time delay between turning on said heating means and starting the supply of said fuel oil from said nozzle means to said pot, said time delay being sufficient for said heating means to heat said pot and said fabric to a temperature sufficient to vaporize said fuel oil;
- and,
- means responsive to said sensor means for starting the supply of fuel oil from said nozzle means to said pot after said heating means is turned on and said pot and fabric have been heated to a temperature sufficient to vaporize said fuel oil.

A pot-type oil burner comprising:
- a pot, having a plurality of through-holes formed at the side wall thereof, for carrying out the vaporizing, mixing, igniting and burning of fuel oil supplied thereto;
- a heat resistant fabric spread on the bottom surface of said pot;
- a heating means, arranged in said pot and positioned above said fabric, for heating said pot and said fabric to vaporize fuel oil supplied to said pot, said heating means being positioned sufficiently close to said fabric to cause ignition and burning of fuel oil vaporized by said fabric;
- a nozzle means extending into said pot for introducing fuel oil therethrough to the pot so as to spray the fuel oil onto said fabric, said nozzle means being provided at the end portion of a single pipe into which an oil supply pipe and an air supply pipe merge;
- sensor means for providing a time delay between turning on said heating means and starting the supply of said fuel oil from said nozzle means to said pot, said time delay being sufficient for said heating means to heat said pot and said fabric to a temperature sufficient to vaporize said fuel oil;
- and,
- means responsive to said sensor means for starting the supply of fuel oil from said nozzle means to said pot after said heating means is turned on for a period of time sufficient to heat said pot and said fabric to a temperature sufficient to vaporize said fuel oil.
