ABSTRACT:
A mobile heater for aerospace ground equipment includes a diesel engine for continuously driving a centrifugal blower for introducing air into a plenum chamber so that the air is not contaminated by the diesel engine. The diesel fuel is utilized with a unique burner arrangement, which enables burning within a burner body or can without build up of carbon, having a portion of the air supplied to the plenum chamber supplied thereto. The hot products of combustion from the burner arrangement flow into a core of a heat exchanger where they are directed through longitudinal spiral slots which terminate inside of a shell of the heat exchanger from which they are vertically exhausted upwardly through an exhaust stack. Ventilating air from the plenum chamber is directed through a nest of formed arcuate tubes, which have common walls with the longitudinal spiral slots whereby heat is transferred through the common walls to heat the ventilating air. Flexible ducts supply the heated air from the heat exchanger to aerospace ground equipment. The fuel supplied to the burner arrangement is stopped when the heated air exceeds a predetermined temperature or when there is no flame for a predetermined period of time or when there is no air flow from the blower during operation of the diesel engine.
