Abstract
A burner has a burner tube and a nozzle holder mounted in one end of the burner tube. An igniter is positioned within the nozzle holder and acts to ignite any of the multi-liquid fuels which may be used with the burner. A nozzle emits atomized liquid fuel under the venturi effect of the nozzle with compressed air being supplied to the nozzle. Primary air holes extend circumferentially around the nozzle holder to admit air radially which passes directly to the burner tube. Secondary air holes extend around the inside circumference of the burner tube on the secondary air injection plate and admit air axially to the burner tube.
Claims16
An infrared burner comprising a burner tube to support combustion within said burner tube, a nozzle holder operably connected to said burner tube, a nozzle operably inserted in said nozzle holder to inject atomized fuel from said nozzle into said burner tube, an igniter mounted in said nozzle holder such that said igniter is in the path of said atomized fuel emitted from said nozzle, a closure member for said burner tube, said closure member closing said burner tube at the end of said burner tube remote from said nozzle and radially directed holes through the outside circumference of the length of said burner tube, said radially directed holes extending longitudinally along said burner tube.
A heater body comprising a combustion chamber, a flat, upper surface, an opening to allow mounting of a burner within said combustion chamber and a chimney mount extending downwardly below said flat, upper surface, said chimney mount comprising outer and inner collar members joined together below said flat upper surface, and a chimney operable to be mounted between and in contact with said inner and outer collar members.
