Definitions

  • the present invention relates to steam ovens, in particular for cooking and communities.
  • convection ovens and direct gas heating comprising an oven enclosure intended to contain the materials to be heated, and at least one gas burner placed inside the enclosure.
  • a turbine for stirring the atmosphere inside the enclosure, driven by an electric motor, ensures internal convection.
  • a flue gas evacuation pipe connects the interior of the enclosure with the outside atmosphere.
  • An intermediate pipe connects the gas burner to an external equipment comprising an air booster and means for producing and introducing into the intermediate pipe an appropriate mixture of air and gas, the air leaving the booster, and the gas coming from a gas inlet pipe. Having the burner inside the enclosure ensures a very rapid heating up of the oven which, associated with the forced convection provided by the turbine, allows very rapid heating of the materials contained in the oven.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to avoid the drawbacks of known ovens, by proposing a new structure for oven which simultaneously uses the direct gas heating technique and the heating technique with water vapor contained in the enclosure;
  • the combination of these two techniques presents significant difficulties, in that the burner operates intermittently to ensure temperature regulation; it has been found that, during the periods when the burner does not operate, water vapor tends to condense on the walls of the burner, and water tends to penetrate the inlet pipes of air-gas mixture, risking compromising the re-ignition of the burner.
  • the present invention solves this problem by providing means allowing the burner to relight without fail and preventing the penetration of water into the air-gas mixture inlet pipe.
  • the operation of the burner is ensured with great security, and in particular the risks of explosion or ignition of air-gas mixture inside the inlet pipe are avoided. of this mixture.
  • the oven comprises a safety device detecting the presence of a flame at the burner, and an ignition device producing a spark for the ignition of the burner.
  • These devices include electrodes connected to an electrical control and measurement device.
  • Another object of the present invention is to ensure reliable operation of the electrodes in a humid atmosphere, in particular avoiding the formation of significant condensation on the electrodes, condensation which would risk compromising the re-ignition of the burner and the reliability of monitoring.
  • the oven according to the present invention takes the elements of a convection oven and direct gas heating, and combines them with: - a steam generator and a pipe for bringing the steam produced by the steam generator into the oven enclosure, heating means to permanently maintain the burner at a temperature above the condensation temperature of water vapor, thus preventing the formation of liquid water in or on the burner, - Means to prevent the vapor present in the enclosure from entering the intermediate pipe.
  • the means for preventing the penetration of steam into the intermediate pipe are constituted by the air booster, supplied with electrical energy, and producing an air circulation in the intermediate pipe and in the burner during periods of interruption of gas combustion.
  • the heating means for keeping the burner at temperature advantageously comprise an auxiliary source of heat, producing a heating of the burner, for example an electrical resistance, or a gas pilot.
  • the auxiliary heat source produces the heating of the air during its passage through the intermediate pipe; the air thus heated and circulating in the intermediate pipe and the burner heats the burner, and simultaneously prevents the condensation of vapor in the burner and on the burner monitoring and ignition electrodes.
  • the auxiliary heat source acts directly on the burner by conduction, the air circulating in the intermediate pipe being heated on passage through the burner and ensuring the drying of the electrodes.
  • the oven according to the invention comprises an oven enclosure 1 intended to contain the materials to be heated, at least one gas burner 2 placed in a rear part 9 of the interior 3 of the enclosure 1, a turbine 4 for mixing the atmosphere inside the enclosure.
  • the turbine 4 is rotated by an electric motor 5 powered by the sector.
  • a pipe 6 for evacuating the burnt gases is connected inside 3 of enclosure 1 to the upper rear part of the enclosure, as shown in the figure.
  • the pipe connects the enclosure 1 of the oven to the outside atmosphere, and preferably outside the room in which the oven is contained.
  • the front side of oven enclosure 1 has an opening closable by a door 7 for the passage of materials to be introduced into the oven and to be removed after heating.
  • the materials are arranged in an anterior part 8 of the enclosure 1, separated from the posterior part 9 by a grid 10 preventing the projection of grease onto the burner 2 and the turbine 4.
  • Deflectors channel the circulation of air and steam inside the furnace, circulation produced by the turbine 4.
  • External equipment 11 supplies the burner 2 with an appropriate air-gas mixture.
  • An intermediate pipe 12 connects the burner 2 and the external equipment 11.
  • the air intended to be mixed with the gas is taken by the external equipment 1 from the ambient atmosphere of the room through an air inlet filter 14.
  • a steam generator 15 for example a generator of known type, produces water vapor and sends it to the oven enclosure 1 by a pipe 16 for supplying steam.
  • the pipe 16 brings the steam to two points of the enclosure 1, arranged in the upper part of the enclosure and laterally on either side of the middle of the enclosure.
  • FIG. 2 There is shown in Figure 2 the various bodies constituting the external equipment 11.
  • the intermediate pipe 12 the end 20 of which is intended to be connected to the burner 2
  • the gas inlet pipe 13 whose l end 21 is intended to be connected to an external gas inlet pipe.
  • the gas inlet pipe 13 comprises two solenoid valves 22, controlled by an electrical control device 23, ensuring the establishment or interruption of the gas inlet.
  • the gas passes through a calibrated injector 24 which introduces it inside the intermediate pipe 12, at a pressure and a flow rate suitable for mixing with air.
  • a pressure sensor 27 detects the presence of compressed air at the outlet of the booster 25, and is connected to the control device 23.
  • auxiliary heat source 17 as shown in FIG. 1, for example an electric resistance supplied by an external source of electric energy and controlled by the control device 23, or for example a gas pilot light supplied with permanently by an auxiliary gas pipe.
  • air circulation is further ensured through the intermediate pipe 12, by operation of the booster 25 during the periods in which the burner 2 is off; during these periods of interruption of combustion, the circulation of gas is interrupted by the solenoid valves 22, while air continues to circulate in the intermediate pipe 12 by the action of the booster 25.
  • the auxiliary heat source 17 can be arranged in an intermediate position in the intermediate pipe 12, to produce the heating of the air flowing through the intermediate pipe 12 during the periods of combustion interruption in the burner 2 .
  • a shutter valve 18 is provided, interposed in the intermediate pipe 12 in the vicinity of the burner 2.
  • the intermediate pipe area 12 between the valve 18 and the burner 2 is subjected to the action of the auxiliary heat source 17 maintaining the assembly at a temperature higher than the condensation temperature of water vapor in the enclosure.
  • the valve 18 is controlled by the control device 23 causing it to open during the operation of the burner 2, and its closure during the combustion stops in the burner 2. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to maintain permanently air circulation in the intermediate pipe.
  • the oven according to the invention is designed to operate according to three successive operating modes, at the operator's choice: a convection mode, a steam mode, and a convection and steam mode.
  • the oven operates in the same way as a convection oven and direct gas heating: the motor 5 drives the turbine 4 and ensures the mixing of the interior atmosphere of the oven enclosure; the burner 2 ensures the combustion of an air-gas mixture produced by the external equipment 11; line 6 evacuates the burnt gases.
  • the steam generator 15 is stopped.
  • the temperature regulation inside the oven enclosure is ensured by the control device 23 which receives temperature information from a temperature sensor not shown in the figures, causes the solenoid valves 22 to open or close. to ensure alternative periods of combustion and of stopping combustion in the burner 2, and controls the operation of a gas ignition electrode at the burner 2, electrode identical to those of conventional direct-heating gas ovens .
  • the solenoid valves 22 interrupt the introduction of gas, while the booster 25 ensures air circulation through the intermediate pipe 12.
  • the auxiliary heat source 17 maintains the burner 2 at a temperature higher than the condensation temperature of water vapor in the enclosure.
  • the steam generator 15 produces water vapor and introduces it into the enclosure 1 of the oven through the pipe 16.
  • the motor 5 drives the turbine 4 in rotation to stir the atmosphere inside the enclosure;
  • the control device 23 controls the solenoid valves 22 and the ignition electrode to ensure intermittent periods of combustion of the gas in the burner 2 to maintain the oven at a desired temperature;
  • the steam generator 15 introduced into the enclosure of the oven with steam.
