Abstract
A powered multi-fuel burner has a burner assembly which utilizes an air aspirated nozzle. An air compressor provides air to the air aspirated nozzle and to a fuel-holding tank where the fuel within the tank is put under air pressure thereby to enhance its flow to the air aspirated nozzle. A bleed valve is positioned between the air compressor and the fuel thank thereby to increase or decrease the air pressure within the fuel tank. By increasing and decreasing the air pressure within the tank, the burner can produce heat over a range of operation.
Claims27
A burner, an air aspirated nozzle for creating a vacuum and being used to combine a mixture of fuel and air, a compressor to provide air to said air aspirated nozzle, a regulator to provide a quantity of fuel to said air aspirated nozzle dependent on said vacuum created by said air aspirated nozzle and a pressurized fuel-holding tank connected to said air aspirated nozzle.
Method of providing fuel flow to an air aspirated nozzle in a burner comprising initiating operation of an air compressor to provide air pressure to said air aspirated nozzle, creating a vacuum in said air aspirated nozzle with said air pressure, applying said air pressure to the fuel in a fuel-holding tank operably connected to said air aspirated nozzle and regulating the air pressure in said fuel tank by a valve operably located between said air compressor and said fuel-holding tank.
