Abstract

The invention relates to a device for gas burners, comprising at least two a ir nozzles (10, 11) for combustion air. Said air nozzles (10, 11) are connected in parallel. According to the invention, a blocking device (15) is allocated to one or more of the air nozzles (10, 11), respectively. Each of these blocking devices (15) can be used to selectively shut off the flow of air through the corresponding air nozzles (10, 11). This increases the range of modulation of the inventive device.

Description

Honeywell B.V.
A Device for Gas Burners The invention relates to a device for gas burners comprising a plurality of air nozzles for combustion air according to the preamble of claim 1.
A device according to the prior art is known from the DE
Utility Model 298 O1 429. In the device shown there, combustion air is moved through air nozzles arranged in parallel, with the minimum capacity and, thus, the lower modulation range of the device being determined by the sum of the minimum capacities of all air nozzles arranged in parallel. This lower modulation range restricts the range of application of such devices according to the prior art.
Further devices according to the prior art are known from the JP 57-188917A, the JP 57-31716A, the DE 197 28 965 A1 and the FR 758 974.
Proceeding therefrom, the present invention is based on the problem of creating a device for gas burners which comprises a plurality of air nozzles for combustion air and has a larger modulation range and, thus, a greater range of application.
This problem is solved by a device comprising the features of claim 1.
Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims and the description. In the following, preferred embodiments of the invention will be explained in greater detail by means of the drawing. In the drawing Fig. 1 shows a schematic sectional representation of an inventive device according to a first embodiment of the invention; and Fig. 2 shows a modulation diagram for an inventive device according to a second embodiment of the invention.
Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a device according to the invention, the device comprising two air nozzles 10, 11 and a gas nozzle 12, with the flow of gas flowing through the gas nozzle 12 being mixed with the flows of combustion air flowing through the air nozzles 10, 11 and leaving the device according to the invention through a mixture outlet 13 in the direction of a gas burner of which the flames 14 are shown.
The two air nozzles 10, 11 of the embodiment according to figure 1 are, on the one hand, formed as Venturi nozzles and, on the other hand, connected with each other in parallel. In a device of that kind according to the prior art, this would mean that the minimum capacity of the device and its lower modulation range, respectively, is determined by the sum of the minimum capacities of the two air nozzles 10, 11.
In order to further decrease the minimum capacity and, thus, the lower modulation range of the device, a blocking means 15 is assigned to the air nozzle 11 in the embodiment shown in figure 1; this blocking means 15 is capable of shutting off the air flow through the air nozzle 11. Thus, when the air flow through the air nozzle 11 is shut off, combustion air is moved only through the air nozzle 10 and, consequently, the lower modulation range of the device according to the invention is shifted towards the minimum capacity of the air nozzle 10.
In the embodiment represented in figure l, the blocking means 15 is formed as a flap 16 having a spring member 17 assigned thereto. The strength of the elastic force of the spring member 17 as well as the design or construction of the flap 16 determines the blocking characteristic of the blocking means 15. This means, if the air flow through the air nozzle 10 falls below a certain value, the force exerted by this air flow on the flap 16 does no longer suffice to hold the flap 16 open against the elastic force of the spring member 17. Then, the flap 16, i.e. the blocking means 15, is closed.
In this connection, it is also of importance that the air nozzle 11 to which the blocking means is assigned is also assigned a bypass 18. This bypass 18 extends from an inlet side 19 to an outlet side 20 of the blocking means 15. By the bypass 18, it is guaranteed that even when the blocking means 15 is closed, a reduced flow of combustion air is moved from the air nozzle 11 in the direction of the burner which is not represented in detail. In this way, when the blocking means 15 is closed, gas is prevented from emerging through the air nozzle 11 as a result of a pressure difference.
In the embodiment represented in figure 1, the air nozzles 10, 11 differ with respect to their characteristic curve.
The air nozzle 10 has a smaller capacity than the air nozzle 11 and, thus, a minimum capacity.
In the embodiment represented in figure 1, both air nozzles 10, 11 are supplied with gas via a gas nozzle 12. Deviating from this embodiment as shown, it is also possible to assign a separate gas nozzle to each air nozzle 10, 11. In this case, when the blocking means 15 of the air nozzle 11 is closed, also the gas nozzle assigned to this air nozzle 11 has to be closed. This means, an additional blocking means would then be required.
In the embodiment shown in figure 1, the closing of the blocking means 15 depends on the flow of air through the air nozzle 11. This could be called a combustion air modulation. Instead of this, also an actuator which closes the blocking means 15 could be used. Such an actuator could, for instance, open or close the blocking means 15 in dependence on certain load levels.
It goes without saying that the principle described in figure 1 can be extended to devices comprising an arbitrary number of air nozzles arranged in parallel. A blocking means is then assigned to each air nozzle with the exception of the air nozzle with the smallest characteristic curve. The air nozzle with the smallest characteristic curve would thus always be open. When closing one or more air nozzles, the open air nozzles operate further, thus allowing the modulation range of the device according to the invention to be extended.
Figure 2 shows a modulation diagram for an inventive device according to a second embodiment of the invention in which three air nozzles are arranged in parallel. In the modulation diagram of figure 2, the rotational speed of the ventilator is indicated on the X-axis 21 in revolutions per minute and the heat load is indicated on the Y-axis 22 in kilowatt. The line 23 in figure 2 corresponds to the modulation graph of a single air nozzle, the line 24 to the modulation graph of two air nozzles arranged in parallel, and the line 25 to the modulation graph of three air nozzles arranged in parallel without the respective blocking means according to the invention. In this case, this would mean that the lower modulation limit of a device consisting of three air nozzles arranged in parallel is determined by the sum of the minimum capacities of all three air nozzles (line 25).
Moreover, figure 2 shows by line 26 a modulation graph of an inventive device consisting of three air nozzles, with two air nozzles each being assigned a blocking means. In the range 27 of the full-load operation, the ventilator runs at high rotational speeds; thus, the blocking means are open and combustion air flows through all three air nozzles. If the rotational speed of the ventilator is reduced, the blocking means assigned to the air nozzles with the higher characteristic curve are closed one after the other, and finally only the air nozzle with the smallest minimum capacity is open in the range 28 of the minimum-load operation. In this way, the modulation range of the device according to the invention can thus be increased towards small loads.
In this connection, it is to be remarked that, purely theoretically, also in devices according to the prior art, the modulation range can be lowered by more and more reducing the rotational speed of the ventilator. However, in this connection, there arises the physical problem that when the rotational speed of the ventilator is more and more reduced, the pressure difference generated at the air nozzles becomes very low and, thus, a stable control signal is no longer available. Insofar, a stable control signal for small operational loads can only be made available by means of the device according to the invention. Only by the device according to the invention can the modulation range thus be extended so as to achieve stable control signals.
