DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a device in burners, for example oil burners, of that kind which comprises a feed tube projecting into a heating boiler, for example, as well as a burner retainer inserted into the feed tube.
In connecting with burners of the kind stated above it is known to arrange guide elements in the feed tube which exercise an effect on the air stream in the tube in order to control the appearance of the flame of the burner. Thus it is known, for example, to arrange a guide device for the air which consists of inclined fins designed to impart to the combustion air a turbulent movement such as to cause it to intermix with the fuel from the nozzle of the burner retainer.
It is also known to arrange a turbulator in the feed tube having conically widening fore and rear ends and a cylindrical portion which is formed with turbulator fins in order to impart desired turbulency to the air stream. In conjunction with the latter arrangement it has been proposed also to direct a secondary air stream inwards towards the centre of the feed tube. In a known burner this problem has been solved by applying a row of holes guiding the secondary air, whereas according to another proposal there is used a turbulator with turbulator fins and comprising an annular element positioned in the direction of flow of the air behind the turbulator, which element has the shape of a frustrated cone with an angle of inclination directed against the direction of flow of the air stream.
All known devices have the drawback that the composition of the guide element or turbulator with fins and auxilliary members as well as the mounting thereof in the burner retainer becomes complicated.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a simple and uncomplicated device for affecting the air stream in desired direction and/or to initiate turbulency in the air stream, and according to a further object the device shall also be easy to adjust after installation in the burner retainer. These and other objects of the invention are attained by the device having been given the characteristic features stated in the subsequent claims.
In the following the invention will be described in conjunction with an embodiment which is shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows diagrammatically a longitudinal section through a burner, such as an oil burner, in which a guide device according to the invention has been installed.
FIG. 2 shows a section following the line II--II of FIG. 1.
The burner according to the invention comprises a feed tube 12, which is devised to be inserted into the combustion chamber in a heating boiler or the like. Disposed at the rear end of the feed tube 12, in the figure the right-hand end, is a casing 11 which supports the members necessary for the operation of the burner such as motor, impeller, fuel supply etc., which are not shown or denoted.
Disposed in the feed tube 12 is in normal manner a burner retainer, which comprises a nozzle 15 and a fuel pipe 13 which is connected with the nozzle 15 by means of a screw connection not designated. The fuel pipe 13 carries also ignition electrodes 14 for ignition of the flame of the burner.
According to the invention, there is disposed ahead of the nozzle 15 a retarding shield 20 which is supported by the nozzle 15 by a means of two arms 16. In its centre the retarding shield 20 has an opening not denoted for the jet of fuel ejected from the nozzle and the cover surface of the retarding shield is increasing conically in the direction of flow of the air stream and terminates with an annular portion 21 from which e.g. three laps or lugs 17 are punched out and constitute centering heads for the retarding shield by abutment against the inside of the feed tube. Thus there remains between the retarding shield 20 and the inside of the feed tube an air gap 18 between the centering heads 17. Secured to, according to the drawing, left-hand outer end of the feed tube 12 is according to the invention furthermore an annular flange 19 which projects rectangularly from the inner surface of
