Description

MalCh 23, 1965 A T, WALSTAD GAS BURNER ASSEMBLY 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Original Filed June 6, 1958 Aff/omey United States Patent O 13 Claims. (Cl. 158-109) This application which relates toa burner assembly is a continuation of my co-pend-ing application Serial No. 740,465, led June 6, 1958, now abandoned. The applicationV relates more particularly to a burner assembly for use in the intermediate and: late heating .stages ofl billet heating furnaces. consisting of a series of barrel type chambers such as shown in Hess Patent No. 2,638,333, dated May 12, 1953. The burners previously used for this purpose are generally of the type shown in Furczyk Patent` No. 2,561,793, dated July 24, 1951. The burner tip shown in this patent` is subjected tofast cooling and heating. and the temperature strains resulting from this change in tiring. rate distort and crack the. burner tips or the supports for the burner tips. This in turnimpairs the burners efiiciency and the billet heating ability, thereby requiring excessivel repair and maintenance.
It is. therefore an object ofV my invention to provide a nozzle mixA radiant type burner which greatly reduces the temperature strains. in the burner tip due to changes in tiring rates.
Another object is to provide such a burner having irnproved life and sustainedV eiiiciency over a longer period of. time than burners previously used, resulting in reduced maintenance cost.
Still another object is to provide a nozzle mixl burner of simple design and low initial and replacement cost.
These and other objects will be more apparent after referring to the following specification and attached draw'- ings, in which:
FIGURE l is a cross section of a barrelv type billet heating furnace with the burner assembly incorporating therein; Y
FIGURE 2 is a sectionai view showing the detailszof the burner assembly;
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged View showing the burner tip;
FIGURE 4 is a view looking to the left of FIGURE 3;
FIGURE 5 is a sectionaf view taken on; the line V-V of FIGURE 4; and
FIGURE. 6 is a fragmentary sectional View of a burner assembly showing a modification of the burner tip and forward end ofthe burner assembly.
Referring'rnore particularly to the dra-wings, reference numeral 2 indicates the heating chamber of the furnace. An opening 4 is provided at each end of the furnace chamber 2 through which billets B enter and leave the chamber 2. Chamber 2 is surrounded by arefractory wall 6 having a clean out hole 8 through the bottom thereof and a venting hole 10 through the top thereof. A metal shell 12' surrounds the refractory 6. Insulation 14 may be provided between the metal shell 12 and the refractory 6 where desired'. Four burner tunnels 16 extend through the refractory lining 6 and metal shell 12. Cup shaped openings 18 are provided in the inner *surface of the refractory lining 6. A tunnel 16 intersects the bottom of each of the cup shaped openings 18. The cup shaped openings 18 are preferably substantially hemispheres. The burner assembly includes a burner body 20 which may be fastened to the metal shell 12 in any suitable manner such as by means of bolts 22. A straight air tube 24 projects into the opening 16 and is fastened to the burner body 20: inv any suitable manner. As shown; the air tube 24 is madeV up of a main tube 26,
y, 3,174,531 Patented, Mar. V21?, 1965 a forward extension 28 and a mounting ring 30 all welded together. An L-shaped clamp 32 receives the mounting ring 30 and is fastened to the body 20 by means of cap screws 34, thus fastening the air tube 24 to the burner body 20. Openings 36and 38 are provided in the burner body 20 in axial alignment with the air tube 26. Opening 40 is provided in the body 20 through which air is delivered into the. air tube. 24. A straight imperforate raw fuel gas tube 42 passes through a standard packing gland 44 mounted inthe opening 36.. A ring-46 is fastened to the tube 42 on the outside of packing glandY 44V by means of a set screw 48. A burner tip 50 is threaded on the forward end of gasl tube 42'. Burner tipv 50 is of general T-shape with its headl projecting into the cup shaped opening i3. The head end52 is closed, a plurality of openings 54 extending therethrough withY their axes diverging outwardly from the axisof the burner tip. The axes of the openings 54 are arranged at anangle S6 of 10 to a transverse plane through the burner tip. Inner face 58 of the headend4V 52 is preferably arranged at an angle 60 of 20 with a` transverse plane through the burner tip. Three lugsior fins 62 are provided on the inner surface 58. The inner face of each lug 62 is arranged at an angle 64 of 15 with a transverse plane through the burner tip. The forward end of the extension 28 is also arranged` at an angle 64 so thatthe inner face of lugsf 62 abut thereagainst. Tip` 50A has an axial opening 66 therein which is threaded at 63 for receiving the gas tube 42. An annular ring '70 is provided'on the burner tip Sli?` as shown. Since theA air tube 24 is sepa.-
rate'from the gas tube 42 and burner tip 5.0 thegas tube and burner tip can expand axially at the end adjacent the burner tip, with respect to thel air tube on thermal changes.
In assembly, the burner tip 50 is held in centered position by means of the lugs 62 and the inner face` of the lugs 62 in combination with the ring 4'6 holds the burner tip 50 in locked position. Air, oxygen or a mixture thereof enters the burner body 20 throughopening 40, passes between the air tube 24 and gas tube 42, and out through a slot 72 provided. between the end of' the air tube extension` 28 Aand the inner face 5S of the burner tipl 50. It will. be seen that the inner face of the head end of the burner tips slopes radially outwardly toward the forward end of the tip at a lesser angle tothe axis of the gas tube than the axes of the openings 54. This provides for better mixing of the gas and? air'. The ring 70 acts to meter the How of air through slot 72.
FIG-URE 6 shows` a slight modification of my invention in which burner tip 50 has a metering ring 70'v welded thereto and in which the centering lugs 62 are omitted. To center the burner tip 50' and lock it in position air tube extension 28 is provided with threaded radialV holes 74 for receiving set screws '76. The set screws 76 pass through the openings 74 and bear against the burner tipV 0".
