Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to devices for forced draft burners, and more particularly to an apparatus with which a blower burner can be directly or indirectly connected to a combustion chamber housing defining a combustion chamber.
  • Known fan burners for liquid and / or gaseous fuels are normally attached to a combustion chamber (eg boiler) or to a combustion chamber housing delimiting it , It is customary to arrange the fan burner directly on the combustion chamber housing or via an intermediate module, which serves for the introduction of fuels.
  • the housing of the fan burner with respect to the mechanical fatigue strength for receiving forces and moments of the fan burner is interpreted as a whole; taking into account the burner housing alone is not enough.
  • the module When using a module arranged between the fan burner and the combustion chamber housing, the module must be designed accordingly.
  • the weight of the housing increases with increasing air power.
  • airflow increases which may be considered correlated with firing performance
  • the masses of the components included and attached to the housing increase.
  • certain components such as.
  • the fan motor and the fan wheel contribute specifically to the increase in the mass of the fan burner in total. This has the consequence that the ratio of the mass of the components of a fan burner without its housing to the mass of the burner housing is greater, the higher the air performance and the firing performance.
  • the design complexity with regard to the housing must be correspondingly increased.
  • complex calculations required for example, to determine mechanical stresses in the housing.
  • the materials used for the housing should be dimensioned accordingly, for example, equipped with correspondingly large wall thicknesses to meet the increased demands on the mechanical fatigue strength.
  • Benneran extract is necessary for access to a arranged between the burner and the combustion chamber housing module or mixing device, the burner completely away from the module or the burner together with the module of the combustion chamber housing.
  • hinges are fastened to the burner and the module or to the module and the combustion chamber housing Used to absorb the forces and moments created during pivoting, in particular due to the heavy burner housing.
  • Possibilities for shaping the combustion chamber housing for access to the module or the mixing device are not possible due to the above requirement for the combustion chamber housing with regard to the absorption of forces and moments.
  • DE 93 00 528 U1 discloses a holding device for attaching a fan burner to a combustion chamber housing according to the preamble of claim 1, specifically a boiler flange with a flange plate and a clamping sleeve.
  • the flange plate is used for attachment to a burner plate, which is provided on a boiler, for example, as a pivotable door and having an opening for the burner.
  • the burner tube is inserted into the clamping sleeve, which is then tightened by means of clamping means to firmly clamp the burner.
  • a carrying handle can be attached with hooks, in which the burner can be hung for maintenance.
  • DE 94 16 641 U1 relates to a radial fan for supplying combustion air to a burner, that is, a component of a fan burner and no component used in conjunction with a complete fan burner.
  • DE 44 36 527 A1 relates to a holder for a burner, with which the burner tube is releasably held by means of a flange.
  • the holder is in accordance with the clamping sleeve DE 93 00 528 U1 comparable to that.
  • DE 1 551 757 A concerns an oil or gas burner and refers only to the burner itself. Means to attach the burner to a combustion chamber housing are not disclosed.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems with fan burners.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a solution for building weight-optimized and easy-to-handle burner housing.
  • the present invention provides a holding device for a blower burner, comprising a fixing portion for fixing the holding device to a combustion space defining a combustion chamber housing, a receiving portion for receiving by a on the holding device fixed fan burners caused forces and / or moments, wherein the receiving portion comprises a flange for mounting the blower burner on the holding device, wherein the receiving portion further comprises at least one support arm which connects the flange with the attachment portion.
  • the attachment portion comprises a flange for positive and / or non-positive attachment to a combustion chamber housing or to a arranged on a combustion chamber housing unit.
  • the receiving portion comprises a second support arm.
  • the flange of the receiving portion may preferably include a motor mounting portion for mounting a motor of a fan burner.
  • the flange of the receiving portion may preferably comprise a housing mounting portion for mounting a housing of a fan burner.
  • At least one of the at least one support arm may preferably have an arcuate structure.
  • the holding device comprises a support portion which may be detachably connected to the attachment portion and / or the receiving portion or may be an integral part of the holding device.
  • the support section may preferably comprise a base for arranging the holding device on a production and / or transport and / or assembly area.
