Abstract
A casing having an upper compartment and a lower compartment. The upper compartment includes a burner and a structure for accommodating a candy kettle. The lower compartment incorporates a pressurized fuel means, including a blower, a manifold with an air-fuel mixer therein. The manifold is of large capacity and size, and is constructed for occupying a relatively small space, thereby providing high capacity burner means for a small candy cooker.
Claims9
A gas power plant comprising,
- a casing having an upper compartment and a lower compartment, and having a top opening for receiving a kettle therein in a cooking position in which it extends down into the upper compartment,
- a burner unit in the upper compartment under the kettle when the latter is in cooking position,
- a mixing unit in the lower compartment for providing a fuel supply and fuel/air mixture and forcing it to the burner unit,
- the mixing unit including an air blower,
- a manifold pipe leading from the blower into the upper compartment and into the burner unit and having an outlet end in operable position in the burner unit,
- a mixer enclosed in the manifold pipe and having a longitudinal passage therethrough extending longitudinally of the manifold pipe,
- the manifold pipe and mixer being relatively proportioned for forming a space surrounding the mixer, and
- a fuel line leading into said space surrounding the mixer.

A gas power plant comprising,
- a casing having a transverse partition forming an upper compartment and a lower compartment in the casing,
- the casing having a top opening for receiving a kettle therein and the opening being substantially closed when the kettle is positioned therein,
- the casing also having an exhaust air duct leading from the upper compartment,
- a pressure burner in the upper compartment and having a fuel passage leading from the lower compartment,
- a blower in the lower compartment operable for driving fuel through the fuel passage and into the pressure burner,
- the upper compartment being effectively closed, except for the exhaust duct, when the kettle is positioned in the top opening and the burner is operating, whereby heated gases from the upper compartment can be controllably driven only through the exhaust duct to predetermined locations.
