Abstract
Abstract A tube has one end portion supported within an opening in a heat-insulating wall and is fired by a dual fuel burner. Disposed within the one end portion of the tube is a combustion sleeve which extends the flame of the burner inwardly beyond the wall and thereby prevents the insulated end portion of the tube from being burned out. An abrupt restriction is formed at the discharge end of the combustion sleeve and creates turbulence in the air/fuel mixture to promote cleaner and more efficient burning.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
The combination of, a heat-insulating wall having inner and outer sides and having an opening extending between said sides, a radiant tube projecting inwardly from the inner side of said wall and having an outer portion disposed within the full length of said opening, and a burner for firing said tube and having a tubular body secured to the outer side of said wall and located in substantially coaxial relation with said tube, a fuel delivery pipe extending into said body from the outer end portion thereof, means for supplying a flow of fuel through said pipe, means for supplying a flow of combustion air into said body from the outer end portion thereof, means for shaping said air into a tubular stream adjacent the discharge end of said delivery pipe, a metallic combustion sleeve coaxial with said delivery pipe and positioned to receive the flow of fuel and the tubular stream of air, said combustion sleeve extending through the full length of said opening and being telescoped within and spaced radially inwardly from the outer end portion of said tube, said combustion sleeve having an inner end extending inwardly beyond the inner side of said wall so as to discharge the fuel/air mixture into said tube beyond said wall, and an abrupt restriction within said sleeve adjacent the inner end thereof and beyond the inner side of said wall to create turbulence within the fuel/air mixture discharged from said sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
241 words
The combination of, a heat-insulating wall having inner and outer sides and having an opening extending between said sides, a radiant tube projecting inwardly from the inner side of said wall and having an outer portion disposed within the full length of said opening, and a burner for firing said tube and having a tubular body secured to the outer side of said wall and located in substantially coaxial relation with said tube, a fuel delivery pipe extending into said body from the outer end portion thereof, means for supplying a flow of fuel through said pipe, means for supplying a flow of combustion air into said body from the outer end portion thereof, means for shaping said air into a tubular stream adjacent the discharge end of said delivery pipe, a metallic combustion sleeve coaxial with said delivery pipe and positioned to receive the flow of fuel and the tubular stream of air, said combustion sleeve extending through the full length of said opening and being telescoped within and spaced radially inwardly from the outer end portion of said tube, said combustion sleeve having an inner end extending inwardly beyond the inner side of said wall so as to discharge the fuel/air mixture into said tube beyond said wall, and an abrupt restriction within said sleeve adjacent the inner end thereof and beyond the inner side of said wall to create turbulence within the fuel/air mixture discharged from said sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The combination defined in claim 1 in which said means for shaping said air comprises a coup mounted within said body and located with its open end disposed adjacent the outer end of said sleeve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The combination defined in claim 2 in which said fuel delivery pipe extends into said cup through the closed end thereof and terminates short of the open end of the cup.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The combination defined in claim 1 in which said fuel supply means includes first means for supplying a flow of gaseous fuel and second means for alternatively supplying a flow of liquid fuel.
