Abstract
A direct-fired steam generator utilizes dual regulators for delivering combustible gas to a burner chamber. A first regulator is a constant pressure gas regulator. A second regulator is a variable pressure gas regulator. The variable pressure gas regulator utilizes a pressure feedback which is representative of the pressure in the burner chamber. One or more air blowers can be utilized to supply air (oxygen) to the burner chamber.
Claims18
A boiler apparatus comprising:
- a burner chamber for receiving fuel and oxygen in sufficient quantities to support combustion and for receiving liquid water during combustion for conversion of same to steam, said burner chamber including an output for exiting the atmospheric contents of said burner chamber;
- a blower system for providing air to said burner chamber, said blower system including at least one blower;
- blower conduit means for delivering air from said blower system to said burner chamber;
- a fuel system for providing fuel to said burner chamber;
- wherein said fuel system includes a constant gas pressure regulator and a variable gas pressure regulator;
- fuel conduit means for delivering fuel from said fuel system to said burner chamber;
- and
- wherein said variable gas pressure regulator varies with respect to a feedback pressure, said feed back pressure representative of the pressure inside the burner chamber.
