PILOT BURNER AFFORDTNG A STABLE FLAME Stephen L. Kile, Whitefish Bay, Wis, assignor to Milwaukee Gas Specialty Company, Milwaukee, Wis, a corporation of Wisconsin Continuation of abandoned application Serial No. 693,927, August 30, 1946. This application April 18, 1952, Serial No. 282,985
2 Claims. (Cl. 158-115) This invention relates, in general, to a burner and fuel supply means, and has particular relation to an improved orifice arrangement for the supply of fuel for maintaining the desired flame.
The present application is a continuation of my copending application Serial No. 693,927, filed August 30,
1946, and now abandoned.
The particular burner which I shall describe hereinafter in connection with the drawing is a pilot burner for maintaining an ignition flame for a main burner and a flame for heating the hot junction of the thermocouple of a thermocouple safety control device.
The flame characteristics of a standard Bunsen burner are not stable at all operating temperatures because the flame characteristics are dependent upon the mixture of the fluid fuel and air. fuel and air will mix, but with a streamline flow the desired mixture of the fluid fuel and air is not obtained.
Moreover, the flame characteristics of a standard Bunsen burner are variable with variations in pressureassuming that the temperature remains constant. As a result, different flame characteristics have been obtained, namely:
(a) With manufactured gas at pressures within the ordinary operating range the flame is hard and objectionably noisy.
(In this discussion I mean by flame hardness a very sharp, short, blue inner cone with the other parts of the flame, except the inner cone, practically invisible.)
(b) With natural gas and L. P. G. (liquefied petroleum gas) too much air is entrained and the flame blows out at the upper half of the range of operating pressures.
(c) With manufactured gas at extremely low pressures there is a tendency in the standard Bunsen burner for the flame to flash back and burn at the fluid fuel orifice.
The foregoing are the reasons a standard Bunsen type burner is usually provided with air shutters. In some cases these shutters are not desired, and even with such air shutters the flame characteristics at different operating temperatures cannot be controlled.
One of the main objects of the present invention is to provide an improved burner and fuel supply method by means of which constant flame characteristics of predetermined character may be maintained over the complete range of operating pressures and any operating temperature.
Another object of the invention is to accomplish the new and advantageous results set forth by delivering a plurality (two or more) fluid fuel streams at an angle so that they will intersect each other, entraining air in proximity to the intersection of the fluid fuel streams, and passing the resulting fuel mixture to flame position remote from the intersection of the fuel streams.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved burner and fuel supply means with which the only change necessary for different fluid fuels is in the angularity of the orifices, or the angularity of the plurality of fluid fuel streams, and the size of the orifices With a turbulent flow, the fluid ice which is determined by the B. t. u. content of the fluid fuel.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved burner and fuel supply means with which air shutters and other adjustments for the air and fuel may be omitted.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved burner and fuel supply means which will operate with manufactured gas at pressures within the ordinary operating range without producing a flame which is hard or objectionably noisy.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved burner and fuel supply means which will operate with natural gas and L. P. G. without entraining too much air or blowing out of the flame at the upper half or any other part of the range of operating pressures.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved burner and fuel supply means which will operate with manufactured gas at extremely low pressures without any tendency for the flame to flash back and burn at the fluid fuel orifices.
Another object of the invention is to provide a burner of the character described having the novelty and advantages set forth and characterized by its simplicity in construction, its economy in manufacture, and its effectiveness in use for accomplishing the desired results.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure l is a front elevational view of one form of burner embodying the present invention;
Figure 2 is a top plan Viewv of the burner shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a side elevational view showing in dotted lines a thermocouple applied to the burner;
Figure 4 is an enlarged axial sectional view of the burner body and gas or fluid fuel inlet fitting in place therein;
Figure 5 is an end view of the inner end of the fitting or spud shown in Figure 4; and
Figure 6 is a fragmentary axial sectional view of the inner end of a gaseous fluid fuel inlet fitting showing the fuel orifices at the inner end of the fitting at different angles within the scope of the present invention.
Referring now to the drawing, I have shown the in vention, for purposes of illustration in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, embodied in a pilot burner which, except as will hereinafter appear, is one of the types now commonly in use.
The pilot burner comprises a pilot burner body or body casting 1 shown in Figure 4 as having a passage 2 communicating with the internal passage 3 within the interior of the pilot burner tip 4. The tip 4- is shown fitting telescopically on the adjacent end of the body 1 and secured in place, for example, by a diametrical pin 5.
The pilot burner body 1 has a primary air inlet 6, shown angularly disposed and opening angularly into the side of the adjacent enlarged diameter passage 2a, which passage 2a opens into the passage 2. The body 1 is shown as having integral lugs 7 for mounting the pilot burner in appropriate position, for example, in the burner box. These features may vary within the scope of the present invention.
The body 1 further has a lug provided with an opening in which a thermocouple shown in dotted lines at 9 is secured, for example, by a bushing 10. The thermocouple 9, which may be of the type disclosed and claimed in Oscar J. Leins Patent No. 2,126,564, August 9, 1938, or any other suitable or preferred type, has a hot thermojunction at 11, and thermocouple lead means 12 for connecting the thermocouple in circuit with the coil of an electromagnet for a thermocouple safety controldevice.
The particular" tip'4 has-a port at 1'3 for-maintaining the ignition flame 14 for a main burner, and a port at 15 for maintaining a pilot flame 16 forheating the hot Function 11 of the thermocouple 9. The ports 13-and 1'5 are connected by a circumferentially extending slit'17, whereby theignitionand thermocouple heating flames i4 and ,16 are joined together, making it impossible for either flame to burn without the other.
Fluid fuel, such for example as manufactured gas, for the pilot burner is supplied through a tube or pipe joined by a suitable coupling to the burner inlet fitting 2d. The fitting 20 is threaded externally'at 21 to be screwed into the body 1. The fitting 20 has'an'internal passage'of enlarged diameter 22, which passage 22 'isthreaded internally'at 23 to permit a suitable coupling or union memher (not shown) to be screwed therein. fittingZfi may have an hexagonal or other portion adapted forapplication of a tool thereto to screw the inlet fitting 24) into and from the burner body 1.
The passage 22. communicates with the passage 24 of reduced diameter at the jet end of the fitting. The jet end of the fitting 20 has a transverse wall 25, and the means constituting the present invention and by which the improved results are obtained comprisesa plurality (two being shown) of orifices 26, which are drilled at angles to the axis of the fitting 20 so that the two gas streams will intersect each other. In this way, a turbulent flow is maintained at all times, although each individual gas stream might be in a streamline flow condition.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the outer periphery of the jet end of the gas'inlet fitting 20 is tapered at 28 to avoid undue impingement thereon of the air drawn through the air inlet 6 when the fitting 20 is functioning in the pilot burner body. "The'ends of the orifices 26 are shown countersunk at 29 into the end of 'the'fitting 2G, with the countersunk portion having surfaces 30 substantially normal to the adjacent'ends of the In operation, the intersection of the two or more streams of fluid fuel appears to cause the fluid fuel. to fan out'to provide a large, turbulent mass with which the air is intimately intermixed. 'A turbulent condition is establi'shed in proximity to the position where the air is entrained, and the resulting fuel mixture then passes to fiame position remote from the intersection of the fuel streams.
As a result, constant flame characteristics of predetermined character are maintained over the complete range of operating pressures and any operating temperature. This assures lighting of the main burner and proper heating of the hot junction of the thermocouple under all operating conditions and against false or erroneous shut off of the fuel by the thermocouple safety control means, such as occurred heretofore in the art Where proper heating of the thermocouple is not maintained, notwithstanding the fact that the system is not in a condition requiring shut off of the fuel supply by the thermocouple safety control means. 1
It is also believed that the angular streams of fuel striking together, where they intersect at 27, removes energy and eliminates or reduces variations in pressure in the fuel mixture passing to flame position.
With the features shown and described, air shutters and other adjustments for the air and fuel may be omitted. This, and the ability to omit a venturi in the burner throat, makes it possible to eliimnate restrictions and thereby dust collection, which is objectionable. Moreover, the air may come in slower so that not only is there little, if any, impingement'on parts which'knock out dust, but if there is someimpingement the speed of the same is less, and thereby less dust is knocked out to collect at the burner. Gum collection-is'alsoireduced. Where the air inlet is larger, the'angle ofthe plurality of fuel content of the gas.
1,000 B. t. u. per cubic foot. cording to the present invention, can be designed for streams .is preferably sgreater-Tassuming .that everything I in cntion for natural gas/the orifices 26, when drilled atangles of about 9 to the axis of thefitting and approximately .018" in diameter Will give the desired results.
As measured from the jetend of the spud 20, the intersection point of the two streams of gas indicated at 27 in Figure may vary widely within the scope of the present invention. With the intersection point 27 from about to A" from the end of the spud, the desired results are obtained with the particular burner design shown and described, but this may, of course, 'vary according to the use of the invention.
-With the orifices 26' drilled at angles from about 22 /2 to 30 to the axis of the fitting as shown in Figure 6,
-I find that the desired results are obtained with manufactured gas.
The proper orifice angle to use is thus correlated with respect to the type of fluid fuel employed and with respect to the design of the burner.
There are, in general, two types of butane and propane air gases which are identified by their B. t. u. content percubic foot, namely 530 B. t. u. per cubic foot and A dual orifice spud, ac-
use with either of these gases, and on pilot burner specifications would be the same as those used with'natural and ''manufactured gas. may be drilled, for example, on angles to the axis of the .spud from about 28 to about 35 depending upon the For the 530 B. t. u. gas the orifices size of primary air openings and the design of the burner. The orifices would be sized according to the B. t. u. For the 1,000 B. t. u. gas the orifice may be drilled, for example, on an angle to the axis of the spud of about 20 to 25, depending upon the size of primary air opening and the design of the burner.
While I have shown two angular fluid fuel orifices in each of the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawing, it is to be understood that two or more of such angular fluid fuel orifices are contemplated within the scope of the present invention, and that the appended claims are to be construed accordingly.
The embodiments of the invention shown in the drawing are forillustrative purposes only, and it is to be expressly understood that such drawing and the accompanying specification are not to bev construed as a defini 1 tion of the limitsor scope of the invention, reference main burner, saidpilot burner alfording a stable flame for heating said thermoelectric generator under all opbeinghad to the appended claims for that purpose.
