Claim 1
Independent Claim
208 words
A flare stack gas burner for combustible waste gas having an outer stack with a burner tip portion at its upper end comprising a combustible high pressure waste gas supply pipe extending upwardly within said stack, a plurality of outwardly extending hollow vanes at the upper end of the burner tip portion of said supply pipe with spaces therebetween and having upwardly facing gas delivery openings connected to said gas supply pipe for discharge of said high pressure waste gas for combustion, a combustible low pressure waste gas supply pipe extending upwardly with respect to said stack, a hollow manifold mounted to said burner tip portion to which said low pressure gas supply pipe is connected, a plurality of inwardly extending hollow vanes contiguous to said first mentioned hollow vanes attached to said manifold with spaces therebetween and having upwardly facing gas delivery openings communicating with said manifold for discharge of said low pressure waste gas for combustion, means associated with said stack pipe for supplying air therethrough for delivery of air through the spaces between said vanes for combustion of waste gas delivered through said supply pipes, said vanes being disposed to impart a swirling action to the gas delivered therefrom and to the air delivered therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
208 words
A flare stack gas burner for combustible waste gas having an outer stack with a burner tip portion at its upper end comprising a combustible high pressure waste gas supply pipe extending upwardly within said stack, a plurality of outwardly extending hollow vanes at the upper end of the burner tip portion of said supply pipe with spaces therebetween and having upwardly facing gas delivery openings connected to said gas supply pipe for discharge of said high pressure waste gas for combustion, a combustible low pressure waste gas supply pipe extending upwardly with respect to said stack, a hollow manifold mounted to said burner tip portion to which said low pressure gas supply pipe is connected, a plurality of inwardly extending hollow vanes contiguous to said first mentioned hollow vanes attached to said manifold with spaces therebetween and having upwardly facing gas delivery openings communicating with said manifold for discharge of said low pressure waste gas for combustion, means associated with said stack pipe for supplying air therethrough for delivery of air through the spaces between said vanes for combustion of waste gas delivered through said supply pipes, said vanes being disposed to impart a swirling action to the gas delivered therefrom and to the air delivered therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A flare stack gas burner as defined in claim 1 in which said low pressure vanes are tilted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A flare stack gas burner as defined in claim 1 in which said high pressure vanes are tilted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A flare stack gas burner as defined in claim 1 in which said high pressure vanes have their slots disposed at an angle to a radius through the vertical longitudinal axis of said high pressure supply pipe.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A flare stack gas burner as defined in claim 4 in which said low pressure vanes have their slots disposed at an angle to a radius through the vertical longitudinal axis of the high pressure supply pipe.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A flare stack gas burner as defined in claim 1 in which said low pressure vanes and said high pressure vanes are alternately disposed around the radius of said tip.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
A flare stack gas burner as defined in claim 1 in which said manifold is square shape in cross section.
