Abstract
Combustion apparatus comprising a combustion chamber, a forced draft mixer and burner assembly extending into the combustion chamber, the assembly including a mixing tube having an open end, an opposed closed end, and a generally cylindrical, foraminous side wall extending between the ends, and a plurality of generally circular disks supported in the tube in spaced-apart relation over the length of the tube, the diameters of the disks increasing in the direction from the open end to the closed end, a blower for supplying air to the to the open end of the mixing tube, and a heat exchanger located in the combustion chamber adjacent the mixer and burner assembly.
Claims22
Combustion apparatus comprising
- a combustion chamber,
- a forced draft mixer and burner assembly extending into said combustion chamber, said assembly including a mixing tube having an open end, an opposed closed end, and a generally cylindrical, foraminous side wall extending between said ends, and a plurality of generally circular disks supported in said tube in spaced-apart relation over the length of said tube, the diameters of said disks increasing in the direction from said open end to said closed end,
- a blower for supplying air to said open end of said mixing tube, and
- a heat exchanger located in said combustion chamber adjacent said mixer and burner assembly.
A forced draft mixer and burner assembly comprising
- a mixing tube including a longitudinal axis, an open end, an opposed closed end, and an endless, porous side wall which extends between said ends and which surrounds said axis, and
- a pressure distribution device for substantially equally distributing air pressure over said side wall, said device including first and second plates extending generally perpendicular to and being spaced along said axis, said second plate being located between said first plate and said closed end, and said second plate having a greater area than said first plate.
A forced draft mixer and burner assembly comprising
- a mixing tube having an open end, an opposed closed end, and a generally cylindrical, foraminous side wall extending between said ends, and
- a plurality of generally circular disks supported in said tube in spaced-apart relation over the length of said tube, the diameters of said disks increasing in the direction from said open end to said closed end.
