Abstract

Improvements introduced in the devices for the ignition of heating appliances fed with combustible waste distillation of crude oil; as heavy oils, diesel oil, kerosene or other fuels of relatively low volatility, the fuel being predisposed to the liquid state on the bottom of a container that constitutes the burner of the apparatus and the ignition, contributing an inflamed substance to the surface of said liquid fuel, characterized by comprising a small chamber equipped with an inlet passage for liquid fuel, a passage of large cross section that puts said small chamber in communication with said burner at a level above the level, to which said liquid fuel must be predisposed and maintaining in the burner, for the ignition and successive service defining said large-section passage an outlet opening above said burner, when the liquid fuel reaches in said chamber a predetermined level being provided systems suitable to absorb by capillarity the fuel, liquid from the bottom of the small a chamber and raise it above said level to a point at which radiant thermal energy emitted by a source of heat is activated by controls and means that are also activated by controls to introduce combustión air into said small chamber in such a way as to allow the inflammation of the liquid fuel in said small chamber, producing the transfer of the inflamed fuel from said chamber to said burner so that it passes through the large section duct, and then the extinguishing of the flame in the small chamber by means of the supply suspension of the air in the same completing the ignition of the fuel in the burner.
