Abstract
EVEN FLOW RADIANT BURNER TIP
Abstract of the Disclosure A gas burner assembly supported in an opening in a furnace wall has injected gas and/or air flowing through an inner burner tube thence outwardly through a plurality of openings for burning along the surface of a wall thus providing a near uniform radiant heat energy to the furnace. A flow divider positioned opposite the openings divides the flowing gas and/or air to improve distribution, and retard flashback in the event of variations in fuel-air mixture and/or flow.

Efficient burining of radiant wall burner apparatus
Efficient burining of radiant wall burner apparatus
- 3 - 5224-340 can be maintained despite changes in velocity o-E the combustible gases and/or changes in types of fuel. The apparatus makes the outward flowing velocity substantially uniform through the open-ings at the tip and improves dis-tribution of air or gas-air mixtures through the openings or slots provided at the end of the burner tube adjacent a furnace wall.
It is to be understood that the invention is for use with a variety of gas-air, or air-gas mixing burners. For example, the invention includes burners using forced air pre-mixed with gas or alone such as found in United States Patent No. 4,257,762, the invention being directed to the division of fluid flow at the downstream tip.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment . . . _ Before explaininq the present invention in detail, it is to he understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the construc-tion and arranaement of parts illustrated in the accompany drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or carried out in a variety of ways. It is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.
The burner assembly of FIGURE~ 1 and 2 is ~enerally designated by the numeral 10 is inserted through an opening 12 formed as a part oE a burner block 14 located through furnace wall 16. The basic gas-air ~ixing burner assembly shown here is merely typical, as the invention is not to be limited to that type shown. The burner assembly is supported by a mountin~ plate 18 as by welding or bolting to plates 20 and/or 22. The mountinq plate centrally supports the burner tube 30 and includes openings which may be regulated for the flow of secondary air as shown. Centering lugs 32 may be provided in the annular space between the burner tube and the mounting thimble or plate 20. By supplying~gas into the aspirator section 36, primary air, from a muffler ~0, is caused to be inspirated at 38 into the burner tube 30 where it is mixed with the gas and thence caused to issue from the downstream end 40O
As stated, this invention is directed to improve-ments in the flow of the gas-air mixture fro~ the downstream end. A conical shaped plug 42 typically closes the down-stream end. A plurality of spaced openings or slots 44 are provided around the circumference of the downstream end of the burner tube 30. These openings 44 project gas and air essentially outwardly for burnin~ alonq the furnace wall and tile surface 46 which is capable of providing additional radiant heat energy to the interior of the furnace as is known in the art. The invention is particularly directed to a flow divider 5~ which is provided in the interior of the burner ~2~3~7 tube, adjacent the downstream end. The flow divider is comprised of a cylinder which includes o~twardly projecting lugs or feet 52 which centralize the flow divider in the position as shown. Other forms of centralizer means such as protrusions from the body of the cylinder and the like are inclusive of the invention. The flow divider can be per-manently installed as by welding in a centrali~ed position.
The downstream end of the flow divider is caused to be oriented in close proximity to the inside periphery of the burner tube at said openings, thus dividing the openings into a downstream flow 54 and an upstream flow 56.
FIGURES 3 and 4 are directed towards,other embodi-ments which are inclusive o~ the invention. In FIGUP~E 3 a straight burner tube 60 is depicted having an end closure 62 and a plurality of slots 64 disposed inside the tip. In this embodiment the flow divider 66 disposed about the tip. In this embodiment the flow divider 66 with its' centralizing members 68 is shown. Likewise, in FIGURE 4 the primary distinction is the use of a burner tube 70j which may be straight or curved as shown, having an end closure 72 and a plurality of holes 74 surrounding the tip. The flow dlvider 76 with its' centralizing memhers 78 is shown positioned with respect to that embodiment.
FIGURES 5, 6 and 7 depict different forms of flow dividers, such as an angularly inclined member 84 dividing slots 82 of FIG~RE 5, a right angle divider 86 dividing sIots 88 of FIG~RE 7 and a beveled flow divider 90 dividing slots 92.
